OH NY BACK
The Expression Of Many Kidney
Sufferer

A stubborn backache is cause to sus-
pect kidney trouble. When the kidneys
are inflamed and swollen, STOPPING

the back that almost takes the breath
away. Doan's Kidney Pills revive slug
gish kidneys-relieve aching backs.
Here's convincing proof of merit.
Mrs. Peter Anne, Fourth Street

ached terribly and / had pains across
my hips. I was weak and had a dis
tressing feeling across my loins, espe
cially in the morning. Doan's Kidney

TIP TOP, Ariz, Nov. IA mine
which is only 800 feet deep and which
has produced $4,0O0,O00 by crude milling
processes and by transporting its ore
across desert wastes by bull team, then
by ship to Swansea, Wales, is certainly
something worth while, in these days
Of improved treatment methods and
nearby smelters. Such is the old Tip
ton led to the organization of a COM
pany for the working of the old mine,
that company having now been in op-
Grafton for several months Result:
the mine is unwatered to the 350-foot
level, the accounts Of We old-timer rela-
tive to the ore left in the mine have
for once proven true, and in addition
to this expected ore, rich streak has
recently been broken into which Is just
as good at this writing as gold ore
assaying $500 ton. The ore assays
$50 ounces silver, with little tungsten
ION the SIDE" That such a property
should have lain so long without op-
Grating is due to the prejudice which
existed against silver, rather than from
lack of ore which would not pay. It
does not take much Of a mathematician
to figure that 100 ounces Of silver ore
with silver at so cents an ounce will
yield more money than $25 gold rock
yet the investor of the last twenty years
would not figure that way; he had the
gold fever. So the Tip Top dropped
into the Slough of Despond, along with
a dozen other rich silver mines of
Yavapai-notwithsta it was at
least as rich as the best of them. and
was by no means denuded Of it's ore.
Some Reliable Faets
From the report Of reputable min
ing engineer who recently made a re-
port upon. the Tip Top we give few
quotations, deeming that the engineer
knows more about the matter than can
be gathered from mere hearsay upon
the streets:
Throughout the veins, with great
degree Of frequency, occur ore bodies.
Zones Of extensive enrichment were
periodically found in these ore bodies.
The lower grade ores were never
worked and never hoisted except where

not been stopped. This vein. which run,
IN the same general directions as the
Tip Top vein. can be developed yer,
easily by extending a. crosscut (alreacx
started) from the so-called Tin Tor
vein. 1t should not be necessary to ex-
tend this crosscut over Is feet in length
to strike the Joker vein, resulting in
depth of about 500 feet.
This vein has been stoped from the
surface down to $50 feet and ore from
sare has all been sold or treated as

twenty inches to four feet wide, and
when the cross-cut which has been
started on the 5O0-foot level of the Tin
Top vein, cuts this shoot on the Joke,

sirable block Of ore."
Besides these veins, the vein upon the
Zip claim has very recently been opened
up and 1883 pounds of tungsten ore
mined from superficial workings.
Best 10 Yet to Come
That the Tip Top has its best days
ahead Of 1t, is the belief of many VINO
are familiar with present conditions IN
the mine. Score Of old mines have

DUMA REJECTS PROPOSALS
Russians Unanimously Turn Down
Germans Offer To Enter Into
Mediation.

London.-A Reuter- dispatch from
Petrograd says:
"The duma has unanimously passed
a resolution against the acceptance OF
the German peace proposals after q
spirited speech by the minister of for
eign affairs"
The text of the statement as re.
ceived here follows;
"The duma, having heard the state
ment by the minister Of foreign af
fairs, unanimously favors a categorical
refusal by the allied governments t.
enter, under present conditions. into
any peace negotiations whatever.
"It considers that the German pro.
posals are nothing more than fresh
proof of the weakness of the enemy
and hypocritical act from which the
enemy expects no real success, but by
which it seeks to throw upon others
the responsibility for the war and for
what happened during it, and to ex
culpate itself before public opinion in
Germany.
THE duma considers that prema'
ture peace would not only be brief
period of calm, but would involve the
danger of another bloody war and a
renewal of the deplorable sacrifices by
the people. 1t considers that last
ing peace will be possible only after
decisive victory over the military
power of the enemy and after definite
renuncation by Germany of the aspi
ration which renders her responsible
for the world war and for the horrors
by which 1t has been accompanied"

Little New Year.
BY KATHERINE FAITH.

The old, old Year goes out at the door.
But the little New Year comes in;
And to take the place Of the sQuan-
dered days
There's Year just about to begin
He's a dear little chap, is the small
New Year,
And deep in his eyes of blue
Is the promise Of all the joy that life
Is holding in store for you.
Healths shining there-if you'll cross
your heart
To live with wise discretion
And then follows Sleep, and then fol-
lows Play,
And Love joins the dim procession.
And trailing behind are the ghosts Of
the years
That wait ON the Grown-Up Shore.
And haunt all the paths of After-a.
While
That lead to the Futures door.
The New Year stands on his tippy-toes
And puts in your two brown hands
The reins of his steeds, CAN and
| WILL
To drive through the deep life sands.
And hard he stares with his wistfui
eyes,
Wond'ring If you'll get through
And hoping that all of the dreams he's
| dreamed
VIII have the good taste to come
| true.

New Year.
BY RAY |. HOFFMAN,.

Gaze forth on the bright, shining sun
! of tomorrow.
Think not of the faults and mistakes
of the past
Nor drink from the gall favored goblet
of sorrow
Take one backward look and let that
be your last.
The old year has gone and the new is
before us,
The road to the future is open to
you,
So mingle your voice with the joy
swelling chorus
And heed to the call of the year that
is new;
Away with the thoughts and the words
pessimistic,
The wrongs of the past and the
things that annoy:
But substitute action and deeds opti-
mistic
And anchor yourself in the harbor
Of joy.
The future depends upon striving and
trying
And doing your best with your own
little part,
The slogan of all should be Doing or
DYING
Just swing into line with good rum
ming start.
Forget all things past that are border
ed with sadness.
Retain only that which is wholesome
and sweet;
Oh! may the new year be o'erflowing
with gladness-
A gladness unstinted, minutely COM
plete.
So keep straight ahead on the new
opened highway,
The sunshine Is bright and the sky
Is clear blue:
Retrace not the past's narrow. rough
ened old byway.
But travel the road of the year that
Is new.

The Old Year.
BY JOSH WINK.

We bid goodby to thee, Old Year,
But not with sad regret;
For long the scars of thy sore wounds
Will be upon us yet.
A record thine of blood and woe,
OF nations in fierce strife,
The greater one for world control,
The weaker ones, for life.
Thou hast kept arms In mems gripped
hands,
The tears in women's eyes,
The dread In little children's hearts.
Death rattles in their cries;
Lands hast thou swept of homes and
crops.
Where toll contented reigned,
Thou hast brought flame to scorch and
kill,
With blood the soil hast stained.
"a Across the.seas shy direfal work
Hast planted seeds of hate
In fearful deeds and wrath to come
To live and germinate.

Pass from our shuddering sight.
God grant the year which waits Its
birth
May bless where thou didst blight

BY r. r. HART.

From out of the dark and silence
And separation long
In grateful, glad remembrance
I send this little song:
The year has seemed long one
Without your voice, your'smile.
Yet blessed, holy memories
Have cheered each weary mile.
In absence still cherish
These memories of you
And send these lines on New Years
morn
To pledge my faith anew.
God grant that ere 1t closes
All blessings 1t may bring
To you who've frightened many years,
And to whom now l will sing.

And may it's smiles and tears
Weave DER your life rainbow

Goodby, Old Year.
BY THEODORE H. BoIcE.

The time has come to say goodby,
Old Year, for we must part;
And tits reluctantly we speak
The word that wrings the heart.
For you have been faithful friend
Through all your twelve-month stay.
A friend who clung to us by night
And walked with us by day.
We well remember when you came.
A bright and smiling youth,
With all the promises of hope
And all the cheer of truth.
We hailed you then with merry shouts,
And fondly clasped your hand;
With you we started on the road
To newer conquests planned.
Meath sunny skies we journeyed on
Along life's thoroughfare.
And you were ever at our side,
In all our joys to share.
Through days of toll and days of rest
We always found you near.
A loyal friend, companion true.
With purpose ever clear.
When skies were dark. and rough the
way,
And grief and trouble came,
You through misfortune to us clung,
Your friendship e'er the same.
Through summers heat and winters
cold,
Through gladness. doubt and fear,
You with us steadfastly remained
A loyal friend, Old Year.
But now you're sadly aged, old friend,
Your hair Is white as snow;
Your steps, once firm, are faltering,
And you desire to go.
We cannot keep you 'gainst your will,
And so it's with sigh
We clasp your trembling hand and say
"Goodby, Old Year, goodbyl"
