A Bilious Attack.

When you have bilious attack
your liver fails to perform its func-
tons. You become constipated.
The food you eat ferments in your
stomach instead of digesting. This
infiames the stomach and causes
nausea, vomiting and terrible head
ache. Take three of Chamberlain's
Tablets. They will tone up your liv-
'er, clean out your stomach and you
will soon be as we'll as ever. They
only cost a quarter.

GOLD CIRCLE QUEEN
TO DEEPEN 100 FEET

One of the results of the visit to
this city of ]. Z. Pelton, one of the
original operators at National, will be
the re-opening of the Gold Circle
Queen mine. in the Gold Circle mining
district. Mr.. Pelton, who is the prin-
cipal owner of the Queen, left last
night on the return trip to his home
in Los Angeles, but before leaving
announced that plans have been COM
pleted to sink the Queen shaft an
other one hundred feet, making sta
ton at the 240-foot level and drifting
on the vein. Work will be COM
menced next week.
In years past the Gold Circle Queen
mine, which is gold property, has
produced large quantities of shipping
ore, the last going forward during
1918, when work was stopped because
of war conditions. While the ore
shipped so far has been high grade,
the large orebody is low grade, run
ming between SIS and 500 a ton in
gold and a little silver.

SOLD CON. VIRGINIA
SHORT TOO STRONG

When Rachel wept for her children
that were not. she had nothing on the
Bush street brokers who sold Con.
Virginia short a few weeks ago and
woke up last week to find there was
none OF the stock to be had for less
than 81 a share, and not much at that.
Whitman Symmes once wrote a
book about little ring of brokers
who. through the medium of short
ing" had from time immemorial made
a financial football of Comstock
stocks. He called the brokers some
unpleasant names. They threatened
to sue him for libel, but nothing ever
came of it.
When Divide opened up big and
promising, some of these brokers got
on the bear side and tried to throw
cold water on the camp. This made
George Wingfeld half out OF patience.
Whitman Symmes in the meantime
had pulled out the bulkheads on the
Con. Virginia at a place where they
were driven away from some good
ore by the fire twenty-five years ago.
Symmes, too. had certain rod In
pickle for these same brokers.
Somehow IT happened that on the
opening up of the good ore the Bush
street brokers planned to short the
stock; but before they perfected their
plans the outstanding stock was cor
rallied by some one. The price went
up and when delivery day came they
found they had to deal with one
George Wingfield. Hence these tears.
1t is safe to say that "shorting" of
Divide stocks will be dangerous pas
time. considering the result OF the
shorting of Con. Virginia. Possibly
Symmes and Wingfield did not have
anything to do with it, And possibly
they did.-ICarson City News.

DIVIDE DISCOVERIES
NEVER COME TO END

Discoveries In the Divide district
seem never to come to an end, and
sections long neglected are coming
into the limelight with frequency.
The latest mineral find is reported
from the rainbow group of six lode
mining claims which were located in
March by w. J. Mcfarland, F. II. Mel
son and Ebert Erickson. Robert Ell
liott. a well-known geologist, made an
examination of the ground, and as a
result of his investigations mineral
lied quartz was taken from a ledge on
surface that carries fair silver values
and some gold.
The Rainbow group lies Just over
the Nye county line at the right-hand
side of the base of the mountain on
the Silver Bow road, approximately
three miles from Tonopah. The own
ers have traced the ledge, that has a
width of sixteen feet, for a distance
Of 2100 feet This ledge shows a con-

not changed their time to conform 10

GEOMETRY CLASS IS
DOING NOVEL STUNT

Tie geometry class of the local
high school, consisting of seven men,
bers, was searching around amongst
records at the court house today in
quest of accurate information regard
ing the high school and its site. This
might seem simple matter. but 1t
is being made complex for the stu
dents of geometry by the fact that
they. from data thus obtained from
papers. are to make drawings Of
a birdseye view of the institution of
learning. The drawings are to be as
nearly correct as the students can
make them, in regard to scale, and
so forth. For the aeroplane effect it
is understood they will have to draw
somewhat upon their imaginations.
