A decided revival of activity is
noted throughout the tungsten dis
tricts.
Many mines that have not worked
for years are preparing to resume
work as soon as weather conditions
permit.
1t is reported that deal is on
whereby the Terry estate will turn
over control of the famous Sunnyside
mine at Eureka to parties heavily in
terested in the American Zinc Com
pany.
Reports from Ouray are to the ef-
feet that good production Of smelt-
ing grade ore will be made this sea-
son from the Calliope group of claims
located in the Paquin district about
three miles from Ouray.
From Silverton, the central point of
San Juan county, comes a report
which states that 1917 will outstrip
the preceding year-"a banner year
in every respect, with the largest pro-
duction in the history of the camp"
In the Telluride district the Snug
gler, Tomboy and Liberty Bell mines
are the big producers and ship out
from three to five cars OF concen-
trates per day, and all Of them plate
the gold and send bullion to the mint.
A report from Telluride states that
the largest enterprise in mining
way at or near Ophir is the Silver
Bell property. near the Ophir Loop
depot. This mine is developed by six
levels and big accompaniment
shaft.
The Golden Anchor Mining Com
pany worked it's property in Horse
gulch last summer and only closed
down when forced to do so by the
deep SHOWS. Some very fine copper
gold ore was shipped during the late
summer.

Getting Free Notices.

That emirent self-advertiser, Houdi-
ri, is just summing up the net results
of his purchase of the Bernhardt sta
tue. You may possibly remember that
the statue was presented to Nine.
Bernhardt by John Drew, in the name
OF the actors of America, and after
wards was discovered not to have been
paid for. The sculptor's wife sent
Bernhardt bill for it and Bernhardt
promptly responded that she had ac-
cepted 1t as gift and would send it
back rather than pay for it. A most
embarrassing situation ensued and all
the newspapers commented upon it.
Then came Hondini to the fore. He
paid the sculptor's wife for the statue
and wrote Nine. Bernhardt begging her
to keep 1t with his compliments and
forget an incident which had brought
embarrassment to the door of the
worlds greatest artistic. Houdini has
just finished tabulating the returns
from his press clippings describing his
highly commendable act and linking
his name with Bernhardt's have been
received. Over half of them were first
page stories. They average 15 lines in
length. Estimating this advertising at
the pure reading matter rate Of dol
lar line, Houdini calculates that he
has reaped the equivalent of an ex-
pendlture of $56,34O. The statue cost
him $360-New York Letter.

TOO MUCH charge
This Handy Way Of Buying Often
Cause for Those SIeepIess
$ Nights of Worry.
WHAT ONE DOLLAR WILL DO
Every Person Realizes Part Credit
Plays In Commerce and Bad Re-
suit Of Unpaid BiIIs-So Pay
Up Yours Now.

The Practice of having n "Pay Up
week" each year has taken well all
over the country-and it has now be-
come a national habit to consider the
Importance, in a business sense, of a
Pay Up week.
Too many of us get in the habit of
having things Charged" 1t is so
handy, so convenient-seems like get
ting things without pay. We are all
inclined to feel that we are going to
have much more money some other
day than we find in our pockets today.
The reason that Pay Up week takes
so well is because 1t has been found
of inestimable help to the world of
credit. One of the principal slogans
used for the occasions has come to be !:
I'll Pay My Bills, So You Can Pay
Yours" A moments reflection will
show what splendid things this is.
Think of how many times single dol
lar may turn over in single day,
with practice like this.
You may owe the jeweler dollar
for repairing a clock; and the jeweler
may owe the shoemaker a dollar for
repairing his shoes; and the shoe
maker may owe the butcher dollar
for the last bacon he got; and the
butcher may owe the timer dollar
for the last garbage can he bought !;
and the timer may owe the clothier
for shirt; and the clothier may owe
the druggist for bottle of medicine !;
and the druggist may owe you dollar
so, don't you see, you get back your
dollar-and what wonderful lot of
debts it has paid in the meantime, and
you still have it.
And you can go on for yourself in
this line, showing the illimitable good
that a "Merry Dollar" can do in a
day, by paying neglected bills. Every
thinking person realizes the part that
credit plays in modern commercialism
and the baneful result of unpaid bills.
Credit has been so abominably abused
that every business man and citizen
feels the drag Of the heavy credit load
he Is forced to carry.
Hurrah for "Pay Up Week."

Machinery for the jerome Daisy
Copper Company is now ON the
ground.
TWO carloads of machinery for the
Gadsden Copper Company has ar
rived at Clarkdale.
There is greater activity in the
Parker district just now than at any
time in its previous history.
Operations are getting into full
swing again at the Yeager canon
mine. which is being developed by the
Shannon Copper Company.
Definite arrangements for the de-
velopment of the Verde Squaw Cop
per Mining Company's property on a
big scale are being completed at
Jerome.
An unexpected and probably i'm
portant change has taken place in the
Pittsburg-Jerome shaft in Jerome dis
trict. AT a depth of $50 feet the shaft
is in white iron with little copper
stain. White iron is regarded as a
splendid Indication of copper.
The winze being sunk from the
main tunnel level at the Cobrita
shows up two feet of the best high
grade copper sulphides yet seen in the
Salome district, the ore being prac-
tically solid black sulphide and
chalcopyrites.

Uric Acid!

Ever since the discovery Of Scheele in
1775 that uric acid was found within the
body-most eminent physicians agree
that rheumatism is caused by it; also
many distressing symptoms as head
ache, pain in back, stomach distress,
swollen feet and ankles, gout, etc.
It was DR.. Pierce of the Invalids' Hotel,
Buffalo, NY, who discovered new agent
called Anuric, a harmless remedy
that if taken before meals will carry off
the uric acid from the system and in
this way the pains and aches, the crealsy
joints and all the distressing symptoms
Of rheumatism and other maladies dis
appear. You can easily prove this your
self, by obtaining Anuric at almost any
drug store, or send DR.. Pierce 10c. for
trial package. Try it and be convinced
that Anuric is many times more active
than lithia and eliminates uric acid as hot
water melts sugar.

WONDERFUL STUFF
LIFT OUT YOUR coRNS
Apply Few Drops Then Lift Corns
Or Calluses Of With Fingers
No Pain

No humbugl Any corn, whether
hard. soft or between the toes, will
loosen right up and lift out without
particle OF pain or soreness.
This drug is called freezone and is
compound of ether discovered by
Cincinnati man.
Ask at any drug store for small
bottle of freezone, which will cost
bit trihc, but is sufficient to rid
ones feet of every corn or callus.
Put few drops directly upon any
tender, aching corn or callus In
stantly the soreness disappears and
shortly the corn or carius will loosen
and can be lifted off with the fingers.
This drug freezone doesn't eat out
the corns or calluses but shrivels
them without even irritating the sur
rounding skin
Just think! No pain at all; no sore
ness or smarting when applying it or
afterwards. If your druggist don't
have freezone have him order il for
you. adv

OUGHT TO HAVE MARRIED
ARMY OF TRAINED NURSES

Atlanta, Ga, June 2l-Can you beat
this Fulton county farmers story for
hard luck?
Three years ago tree fell on Viii
liam Mitchell, dislocating an ankle
and breaking three of his ribs. Just
as he recovered he was charged by a
bull and three of his ribs were broken
again as he hastily climbed fence.
When he began to walk around
again he was bitten by dog and
blood poison set in and he nearly lost
his leg. While nursing the wound he
contracted smallpox.
But he got well, and as soon as he
was thoroughly recovered he was
thrown from wagon in a runaway
sustaining a broken leg and broken
collar bone.
Then he married trained nurse.
This however, wasn't all misfortune,
for soon afterwards he contracted
pneumonia and she pulled him
through. But while convalescing he
slipped on piece of soap and broke
his arm again.
Now he's wondering if it wouldn't
have been good idea to move to
Utah and marry two or three trained
nurses.
