ing the views of President Wilson.
my works consists of ascertafnins
the general situation and laying II
before the President before his con-
ference next Thursday with the rail-
road brotherhoods.

What Is Uric oAcid !?

Everyone has uric acid in the system,
but naturally in small quantities. Ex-
cessive amount is caused by eating too
much meat and foods that ferment in
stomach. The kidneys, being the filters
OF the blood, are supposed to separate
and throw the poisons out of the system.
Weak, tired and overworked kidneys
fail to do this, hence the uric acid accu-
mulates and the urate salts are carried
by the blood to the solid tissue structure,
causing backache, lumbago, rheuma-
tism, dropsy, drowsiness, and tired
feeling.
To overcome the trouble Is only q
matter of toning up the kidneys, and this
is best done by a treatment with Anuric,
three times day. Anuric is recent
discovery OF DR.. Pierce of Buffalo, N. Y,
and can be obtained at any drug store.
Experience taught Doctor Pierce that
Anuric is more powerful agent than
lithia in dissolving uric acid, and 1T is
then carried out Of the system.

HOOVER BARES

Washington, May S.--A tax of four

bill may be ready for presentation to

Ore Deposits of the Mackay Region,
Idaho.

| The Mackay region is a mountainous
area comprising ii mining districts near
the border of Snake river plains, in
southeastern Idaho. The area is drained
by Big and Little Lost rivers and Birch
creek, streams that disappear beneath
the surface on reaching great expsnse
of intricately jointed lava which covers
about 10000 square miles in the south
ern and eastern parts of the state.
Mining has been fairly continuous in
the region since 1880, though lack of
transportation facilities has retarded the
progress of most of the districts. The
principal ore deposits are compact copper
deposits, lead-silver veins, and silver
gold veins. Ore has formed in rocks of
many kinds which comprise more than
10000 feet of strata, a thick series of
layas, and granite rocks that form out
liers of the great Idaho granite mass.
The contact deposits, now the most
productive in the region, are of particu
lar interest, because a study of them
has thrown light on several problems of
ore genesis. 1t has shown that they are
unquestionably due to emanations from
a molten mass which rose high into the
strstified belt, and that the emanations
escaped after the mass had partly solidI-
fed. Blocks of limestone incorporated
in the molten material were transformed
into ore and iron-rich compounds after
the magma Immediately adjacent had be-
come rigid. As the new material wholly
fills the space occupied by the original
limestone, volumes must have remained
constant during the metamorphism. An
earlier metamorphism only transformed
the limestone into marble.
The lead-silver deposits of the Dome
district occur in qusrtzite, but other sim
liar deposits are inclosed in limestone.
The gold-silver veins traverse lava rocks
and are exceptional in the amount Of
metal which they contain.
The region is believed to be particu- !
lsrly worthy Of prospecting, and in a re-
port just issued by the United States |
