LIVESTOCK AND RANGES
 ARHONA-NEW MEXICO

Moderate to heavy rains over the major grazing sections of the district have improved ranges to a marked de- gree, according to reports of observ- CTS to the Weather Bureau. The well cured grass of early fall has not been injured by later rains but feed has been increased inaSmuch as browse has continued to grow longer than usual. The heaviest rainfall occurred in the Tusayan, Coconino and Sit greaves National Forests, Pincdalc reporting over two inches for the week. The water supply for the win ter has been assured in some sections Of the north. The condition of the range in the southern portion of the district has grown much more satis- factory during the last two weeks, notably in the vicinity of Douglas and Nogales. Shipments of both sheep and cattle from the Holbrook and Pinto sections have been large; ma ny thousand sheep have been shipped to eastern markets and lambs in large quantity are being gathered for flu ture shipment.

 FUTURE FOR MINING BRIGHT
""

There is a brilliant future ahead, for hundreds of mining districts that are only marking time at present. Every drop in the price of mining supplies and the cost of labor adds to the earnings of producing mines and makes possible the opening of old pro- ducers forced to close down because increased costs made earnings impos- sible.
 Throughout the West there are loyal mining men who have passed up opportunities in other lines of endeav- or in order to protect their stock holders and have their properties in shape to take advantage of the great period of mining prosperity that is so rapidly approaching. The nation as a whole can be no more prosperous than it's mines. There has been slackening of production in the fac tories, but the demand for American nlanufactured products is worldwide and the mines will be called upon to provide their portion of raw products. Copper, lead, zinc, tungsten, mangan- csc and molybdenum have a thousand uses in the worlds manufacturing plants, while increased demands for gold and silver are making the sup ply of these metals look insignificant.

SMALL SILVER SUPPLY
 IN ALL WORLD MARKET

Total $1 silver purchased to date under the Pittman law amounts to about 17,002,5 ,5O7 ounces. About g. OO0,000 ounces of this amount has al ready been used for coinage purposes. For the past four months weekly pur- chascs have been around 100000 ounces. The Treasury Department reported, towards the end of the week, that no silver had been offered since Oct. Z9
 The Pittman order has been in force since May r. During the interven- ing period silver prices have advanced once above $1 an ounce, which auto matically removes this buying from the market
 The weekly average against the to- tai of 17,OO2,5O7 ounces is 71O,00O ounces, or 37,000,OOO ounces yearly. On this basis it would require nearly six years to secure the 207 100000 ounces, which the order calls for: It i9 eotlilldleu CIlde OO,OuO,OUU OuHCSS yearly is about all that, the Govern ment can expect to secure against es- timated production this year of 50,- 000,000 ounces and estimated com mercial demand of 20,00O,O00 ounces. It is conceded that the volume of for eign origin silver available in the mar kets of this country is very small.
 It is reported that Mexico is again accommodating silver for coinage. We have received 45,936,S54, silver, from Mexico since the first of the year. Mexico supplies nearly two-thirds of total silver imports into this country.
 Excess of silver exports over i'm ports so far this year remains around $27,00O,O0O.
 The market on silver produced out side this country and not purchasable under the Pittman order, has remain ed around S012 cents for two weeks, but was higher towards the end of the week at S3 cents. Far Eastern exchange was also higher. Shang- hai taels were 95.50 against 91.5O last week. Indian rupees were at 29 against 2S.50 last week.
 Far Eastern foreign trade reaches it's maximum around the end of Octo- Der. This is especially true of India, where the wheat crop this year is 1O,- O92,0O0 tons compared with 7,5O2,O0O tons last year. No pronounced move ment is reported so far, although for ward rates for December and Janu- ary are higher. The Chinese New Year is towards the end of January. Large East Indian cotton shipments To Europe are reported.

Praise is due the mine operator who has stuck with his mine during the depressed period in the industry. He might have done like hundreds of oth- CTS who quit the mining districts for the more attractive rewards of the oil fields. Now, with greater prosperity at hand in the mining districts, the mine operator who stuck to his prop erty is in line to reap his reward Denver Mining Record.

WHEN 1 AM A SPIRIT.

when l am spirit-leave me alone! Don't prick at the tough skinned riddle Would you turn from a feast to gnaw
 on bone?
 Go, dine while the fddlers fiddle. Why lure me back to play the fool To bridge your brief hours yearning With maudlfn talk through three legged
 stool
 With raps or table turning? I'll lend no aid to an old dame's trance, As she plucks at the air with her fin
 gers. She'll bid no spirit of mine to prance- Let her chuck to the spook who fingers! Oh. leave me alone! Go, drink your wine, And look to the moments living; Lest you in your world. l in mine, Lose precious drops of living. Mildred Plew Merryman, in New York Times.

Kidney Trouble and
Rheumatism Driven
Away-GOldine Did Ii

Kidney trouble and rheumatism 90
hand in hand together IN most cases.
Where you find one. you find the
other, for rheumatism is really a uric
acid condition of the Joints and
muscles. And where you find both
these diseases, you find a dangerous
and serious combination, for nothing
can poison like uric acid.
When the formula for Goldine No
2 was being planned, careful study
was made OF hundreds of herbs and
their power for combating uric acid.
Only d few PASSED the test and these
were from different corners of the
world. However, the Goldine Co.
imported a large supply of these
herbs and they now are used in the
manufacture of Goldine No. 2. The
formula has been uarded carefully,
even in the government Offices in
Washington, where it is on file, and
Goldlne No. is the only remedy on
ordinary ability to drive away kid
ney trouble and rheumatism.
Nh Elmer Peck Of 405 River st.
North Adams, Mass, says: "Four
three OF four years | was troubled
with my kidneys, bladder and rheu-
matism. The rheumatism set in the
joints all over my body and gave me
terrible pain. | would have to get
up every hour during the night just
as regular as the clock struck. |
could hardly walk and was miserable.
A friend told me | should try Gold
inc No. as it had done wonders for
him. | got some at the drug store
and | find myself so much better it
seems beyond belief. ! had tried
every other medicine I'd heard of,
but say, Goldine is wonder.
Goldine is sold in your city by all
dealers.

ering strength of the former secrc'
tary of the treasury.
McAdoo, Cox and Palmer were the
leaders in the first two ballots. On
the first McAdoo had 266, Palmer
256 and Cox 1874. Smith of New
York had 100 of which his own state
gave him its full quota of 90 votes.
On the second ballot McAdoo re-
ceived 289, Palmer 264 and Cox 159.
Smiths vote dropped to 101. Reports
that New York would throw most II
not all it's strength to McAdoo were
heard early today. Leaders in the
Empire state delegations, however,
would not discuss this except to say
they would stick to their governor.
w. Bourke Cochran of New York
took an active part in the fight over
the wet platform. When M. Bryan
finished reading his planks he sat
down and w. Bourke Cochran OF
New York, another veteran OF
many Democratic conventions. was
recognized to also present minority
report
Mr.. Cockran's minority report was
q wet plank. He told the convention
that had Mr.. Bryan consented to let
the committees report stand, ne
doubted whether the vets would
have raised the question. "But Brv-
an and evasion are irreconsilable
within the same hail." he added, and
now that the issue had been raised
thank God the convention can no
longer dodge it."
A roar of cheering greeted the
language of the plank which declares
for manufacture and home consump-
ton of cider, lioht wines and beer.
While Cochran was speaking

On the first ballot the Vermont
delegation was well snlit up. They
gave four votes to McAdoo, two to
Gov. Cox, one to Gov. Smith, and
one to Atty.-Gen. Palmer.
On the Irish plank Vermont split
in its adoption and cast d votes for
and four votes against it. On the
wet and dry planks Vermont dele
gates cast eight votes against Bryan's
dry plank. The Cochran wet plank
was supported by seven of the dele
gates and opposed by one. Both
planks were finally defeated by the
Convention.
