DUMMY AS WRESTLERS' AID
invention Designed to Give Athletes
Practice as Nearly as Possible Like
That With Living Opponents.

William p. Armstrong of Washington
has invented wrestling dummy which
will find favor with wrestling teams.
At the present time there is no gym
nasium apparatus available with which
wrestlers can practice. With the dunn
my Illustrated they can go through
many of the movements they would
assume in tackling and throwing liv-
ing opponent, says the Popular Science
Monthly.
The figure is shaped so that no pro-
truding points will injure the one
practicing with Ii. The head portion
of the figure is nearly round, the arms
are stubbed, and the base, although
heavy. Is padded and upholstered. The
entire body consists of canvas suit
fitted over raw cotton, excelsior, hair
or any other yielding material. The de-
vice is supported on an upright board
embedded securely in the base of heavy
wood.
In order TO throw the figure to the
floor the wrestler must secure a hold
on II and exert considerable force be-
fore it will yield. The dummy is light
enough to be used mt home.

PARIS MODELS IN WAR TIMES
Those for Whose Services Great
Artists Once Fought Are Now
Working for Mere Pittance.

On the professional models of Paris
the misery of the war has weighed
most heavily. That is apparent in the
studios of the younger artists. While
in former times they could afford
only elderly models of more or less
faded beauty, they are now engaging
for a pittance famous models for
whose services great artists once over
bid each other. Six francs a day is all

IONEBOCh, August Z4.-OW1ng 10
the temporary absence of Mr.. Nenzel
from the office, the official report of
the Friedman properties is delayed
this week. IL is as follows:
Rochester Mines Company
The crosscut on the 900-foot level
shows the ore, which is of good value,
drifting on this level discloses the ore
to be of value equal to the ore on
the 800-foot level. The width of the
ore in the breast of the drift on the
900-foot level is unknown, as no walls
have been exposed as yet. On the
S00-foot level north the ore body con-
tinues to increase in size as drifting
advances.
The average daily tonnage for the
first twenty-one days of this month
was l80 tons.
Wednesday morning of this week
an unavoidable accident to the aerial
tramway. which conveys the ore from
the mine to the mill. occurred, which
put the tram temporarily out of com
mission. This accident was caused
by the breaking of the traction rope,
causing damage TO the larger portion
of the buckets. To repair the damage
will likely require from a week TO ten
days; however, in the meantime ar
rangements have been made with the
Nevada Short Line railway to haul
the ore. to the mill. The railroad
company has advised that 1t will de-
vote its entire equipment to keeping
the mill supplied with ore. A delay
of two days in the transportation OF
the ore has been caused by this break.
This delay, however. is due to the
fact that ii required that length of
time to make the necessary changes
at the loading and unloading stations.
Owing to the congestsion of ore IN
the mine, the mining force was tenn
porarily laid off for two days.
Rochester Combined Mines Company
Work is progressing very satisfae-
torily in all working places. addition
al ore being opened up in the work
ing tunnel and in Tunnel A.
A -cubic-foot-capacity skip has
been installed in the Happy Jack
shaft A large ore pocket has also
been put In on the l00-foot level.
The Kroner winze has now reached
a depth of S5 feet and is in an excel
len grade of ore A small hoist has
been installed at this winze TO faciti-
tate the handling of ore. This will
enable US TO handle approximately
three times the amount of ore which
we have been handling heretofore.
The work of installing machinery
for the new mill continues with the
usual amount of progress.
Seven Troughs Mining Company
The stope on the 750-foot level has
been opened up 125 feet with high
grade shsowing up in several places.
The slopes above the 75O-foot level
are producing the usual amount of
high-class ore.
AT this time we are making arrange
ments to begin hauling the ore nov
on the mine dump to the Darby miil
at Mazuma for treatment This is es-
timated TO be between 1000 and $500
tons of a good grade of ore.

Work at this property still contin-
ues with the usual amount of speed.
There is, however. nothing new To-
report.

A red nose that dribbles with
mucus is an unsightly misery. A
breath tainted with the odor of
catarrh is an offense against all
health and decency. A stomach
filled with droppings from dis
eased nasal cavaties may cause un-
told misery, and ruins the COM
plexion. The bowels cIogged with
strings of ropy mucus indicates
a body literally reeking with ca
tarrh, causing pimples, blotches
and other skin eruptions.
The blood, swarming with mill
lions of catarrh germs, entails up
on the kidneys a labor that may
break them down; the lungs and
bronchial tubes, scourged with the
