UNCOVER RICHES IN RUSSIA
Development of Mineral Deposits, Re-
tarded by Autocracy, Now Likely
to &c Rapid.

AS in everything else, the old re.
CINE of Russia had its strangle hold
on the gold industry. Siberia aud the
Ural could be considered the classical
parts of the world where deposits OF
precious minerals abound and under
free and progressive government
they could easily lead all the other
parts of the world, says the Russian
American Journal of Commerce. The
Russian press is full Of news items
chronicling new discoveries OF gold
and platinum deposits as well as
other rare metals.
SO from Krasnoyarsk, in Siberia,
came the news that in the northern
and southern Enisey mountain dis
tricts the gold seekers have lately
washed gold to the amount of about
$3.50 pounds. From the Lena, well
known as a gold-bearing river, comes
the word that new rich gold and plat.
mum deposits were discovered on her
tributaries, Willy and also Marllha.
With the laying of the tracks of the
Amur railroad there Is almost a con-
tinuous procession Of discoveries of
new deposits of precious metals, espe-
cially on the Rivers Burea and Khara !;
all the deposits are not far from the
new laid tracks and offer all the op-
portunities for Il successful develop
ment of the newly discovered deposits.

CLEANS THE BLOOD
TONES THE NERVES

The gratifying results attending
the faithful use of the new medic-
nal combination, Hoods Sarsapa-
rilla before eating and Peptiron
after eating, are seen in purer blood,
stronger nerves, improved condition
of the whole system.
They are results that make this
course of treatment the most eco
nomical for sufferers from impure,
impoverished blood, weak, unsteady
nerves-no other accomplishes SO
much for each cent expended.
Hood s Sarsaparilla and Pcpt-
iron aid each other, and to take
both is to derive four-fold benefit.
If q laxative is needed in connec-
ton with them, the gentle and thor
ough Hoods Pills should be used.
