Drug That Loosens Corns
So They Lift Out.

Local druggists are having a ire
mepdous call for freezone, the drug
which is said to shrivel a corn, root
and all, without any pain.
A few drops applied directly upon q
tender, aching corn relieves the sore
hess at once, and shortly the entire
corn, root and all, lifts right out with
the fingers.
This new drug is being dispensed at
small cost in quarter ounce bottles,
which is sufficient 10 take off every
hard or soft corn from ones feet. 1t
Is a sticky substance which dries at
once, and does not inflame or even
rritate the surrounding tissue or skin.

ing death by infection or lockJaw from
cutting their corns now.---Adv.

The Monarch mine, one of the larg-

Il heavy producer of gold and silver,
put which for the past few years has
not been worked, is to be rejuvenatcd
rotlmbered and considerable money ex-
pended on it for active operations next

opment in the Atlanta district. The
Monarch is on the same ledge, or a
continuation of the ledge is the same
ono on which very rich discovery
was made recently.
These facts developed with the visit
to Boise this week of II. n. BarnsdaiI.

owner of the property, who held a con-
florence with his Idaho agent of the
Monarch, Dan Kirby. Mr.. Barnsdall

Their minimum estimates placed the

TINS mine has not been in operation.
The old process of treating the ore was
found to be too expensive and unptac-
tlcal at the same time. A new process
mas since been discovered by which
the ore can be treated profitably. The |
present mill S in shape to handle the
ore. The various levels will be retim-
oered and considerable money spent in
getting the mine ready for active oper- |
atoms. Mr.. Barnsdall believes in the |
property and is willing to spend con-
siderable money getting out the ore.
In the east there is the most solid |
