MYSTERIOUS PAINS
AND ACHES
Make Life Hard to Bear for Many
MinOt Women.

loo many women mistake their
pains and aches for troubles peculiar
to the sex. More often disordered
kidneys are causing the aching back,
dizzy spells, headaches and irregular
urination. Kidney weakness becomes
dangerous if neglected. Use a time
tried remedy-Doan's Kidney Pills.
Hosts of people testify to their merit.
Read Minot case:
Mrs, Jackson, TOT Valley St., Minot,
says: II haven't needed kidney
medicine since Doan's Kidney Pills
cured me several years ago. Doan's
Kidney Pills removed sharp twinges
across my kidneys and rid me of head
aches that were often so bad that
couldn't walk"

GOOD ORE IN WOOD

At the Wood mine, drifting is be-
ing carried on at the rate of eight
feet per shift; two drifting machines
of the Leyner Irgerscll type. being
used to great advantage. Over 200
feet have been driven in 26 days.
Considerable ircn of low gra'e
has been opened up while doing this
develcpme ent work on the east side.
However, the wet side of the mine
will be gwen srecial attention for
the next 80 days. Samples of iron
taken from the west drifts at a
depth of 425, $50 and 275 feet, gave
the following results No. /. gold

ozs. gold, 1895 ozs. silver; No. 3,

A small amount of uranium has
been encountered on the west side
where better results are expected
soon. Ten men are employed in this
operation.

WONDERFUL SILVER VALUES

John Miller, who has been work
ing the Lone Star mine at Missouri
falls, has uncovered a big streak of
silver ore that carries picture values.
This week he had an assay made of
the ore which ran 1880 ounces in
silver and $40 copper. The streak
was uncovered in a tunnel and Is
10 inches in width. The Lone Star
has produced some wonderfully rich
silver ore and the, last mining that
was done on the property paid the
operators hand omely. Sixteen y2ars
ago the mine was worked by Messrs.
Backus, Kimber, Cro-s'ey, Lewis and
others and yielded big values in the
white metal.

REFORM GROUP OF MINES

The Reform group of mines on Sill
yer creek, in the northern part of
the county was recently purchased by
20. o. Kendall. In driving an adit on
one of tie veins he has struck
VEN IA inches wide of solid smelling
ore that assays $3.50 per ton, and
has also about three feet of concen-
trating ore alongside that returns $50
per ton.
He has just finished good-sized
ore house and assay office located at
mouth OF adit and has purchased a
1O-stamp mil and will have 1t erected
at the dump as soon as the weather
will permit. The moor power will be
electricity. He is erecting bins to
store the concentrating ore until the
mill is completed, ard his smelling
ore is being hauled to Black Hawk
to be shipped to the smelter at Den
yer.

watchful and guard against the
waateful extravaganza that seems to
be rampant with all classes at the
present day. and counselled to con-
tinue the spirit Of charity and bot er-
iy love that has held sway since the
day when the two gilded pillars
stood at the outer court of that mag
nificent building on Mount Moriah.
Colorado's present Grand Master,
Robert M. Simon, responded to the
toast, Masonic Ideas" He expatiat-
ed at length Upon the beauties of
the mystic tie, that bind men from
all nations, sect and station in life,
into one common band of fellows,
and charged the younger element
that it was the internal, and not the
external part that was required of
aspirants to be fitting stones in
this most ancient and honorable or
order The high, the gifted, the rich
and the poor, all meet as equals up
on the checkered floor, and this
spirit of congenisd'y extended to adj
races and inhabits all climes.
Charles H. Jacobson, Colorado's
grand secretary, was the last speak
er, and the Masonic eloquence flow
ed from his lips as freely as the eter-
nal geysers that are continually be-
ing fed from unknown depths. He
likened mankind to ancient Rome,
that rose, flourished and fell from
gaudy pomp and curtailed wealth. He
admonished the youthful Mason that
he should ever strive to, accumulate
useful knowledge in the springtime
OF life, that would enable him in
nanhood's vigor, when the ripened
bud was about to burst it's pnantling
fold, and its perfumed flower be-
come I'm when evenings twi-
light darkens the precarious brink
that launches us into Eternity.
The many visiting brethren,
through the columns of the Observer
wish to extend to the members of
Black Hawk lodge No. IL, their most
heartfelt thanks for the courteous
treatment given all those who had
the good fortune to attend, and who
are loud in their praise of the COM
mittee on arrangements, who plan
ned each and every detail with such
precision, that neither envy, discord
or confusion, was suffered to inter
rupt or impede the good7feMowship
that prevailed from start to finish.

CHASE wTHRow, WHO WAS
THE FIRST MASTER OF BLACK
HAWK LODGE No. II, A. F. &
A. N. IN 1866, is AGAIN sERv-
ING As MASTER.

Black Hawk lodge No. IL, A. f.
& A. NJ, held their fiftieth anniver
sary last Thursday night, in honor
OF Chase Withrow, the present mas
ter and the master of so years ago,
the like of which has not been dupli-
Gated since the world began.
America recounts no history of a
like nature, and the files of English
history have been searched from the
days OF William the Conquerer, and
the granting of tie famous Magma
Charta by King John, to the pres
ent without parallel, viz: Where a
master was duly elected and Install
ed to preside over a Masonic lodge,
and fifty years thereafter, that mas
ter again elected and installed with
full power to wie.d the gavel.
Invitations had been sent to all
parts of the country for the craft to
join in the exercises, and many that
had been highly honored by Masonry
in days gone by were present.
The officers of the Grand Lodge
with the Denver and Golden contin-
gent arrived by train at $50 p. M,
and at o'clock the special from
Georgetown and Idaho Springs ar
rived 100 strong, swelling the crowd
to 225. The banquet hall had been
arranged for $50 plates, and when
the crowd filed in and stood beside
their respective places with bowed
heads, listening to the invocation by
Rev. Coffman, tie spectacle was GER
tainly one long to be remembered.
Past Grand Master, Albert B. Nc
Gaffey, of Denver, was selected as
POSTMASTER, and well did he per-
form his duties by his ever ready
flow of wit and humor. kilograms
were read by him from Governor
Carlson and many other noted Ma
sons throughout the state, express
ing regret at not being able to be
present.
Chase Withrow, Grand Master Of
the territory of Colorado in 1866 and
present master of Black Hawk lodge,
was the first speaker to be called
upon by the toastmaster, the subject
assigned him being. Masonry Fiji
ty. Years Ago." When that vener-
able and dignified master, now in
the autumn of life, arose to speak,
the assembled multitude as il by
magic arose, and the profound and
lasting aopla-se accorded him, tremb-
led the building to it's very founda-
ton.
He pictured in eloquent pathosI the
trials and hardships incident to Ma
sonry in a new land, where the
horny-handed prosrector from his
cabin on the mountainside at even
tide, travelled many weary miles for
the privilege of treading upon the
checkered floor, and where the foot
sore and weary brother from the sun
baked plains found comfort and
friends beneath that sheltering and
starry bedecked canopy.
