Piles

Can't BE Cured form the Outside
External treatments seldom cure
Piles
Nor do surgical operations.
The cause is inside-bad circula-

The blood is stagnant, the veins

The bowel walls are weak, the parts

To quickly and safely rid yourself

the one safe method.

eral months ago, was commenced in

entire day was taken up by the ex-
animation of jurors. At the time
of going to press the defense coun-

the right to challenge four more.

time were William Freemonth, F.

STRUCK At
GOLD CIRCLE CAMP
Great Excitement Prevails as Ledge
10 Struck Which Proves Con-
tinuance of Ore to South
ern Border of Camp

Great excitement prevails in the
mining camp of Midas, better
known as Gold Circle, because the
extension of the ore ledge in the
Missing Link claims, now being
prospected by the Red Hill Florence
Mining Company, has been struck
in the extreme southern portion of
the camp in a new shaft upon which
the work of sinking was COM
menced> several months ago. The
ledge was broken into with the last
round of shots yesterday afternoon,
according to telephone messages re-
ceived here. Although the camp is
located in Elko county 1t is so situ-
ated that Winnemucca is the prin-
cipal trading point for residents
there.
The striking of the ledge many
hundred feet. from the main work
ings Of the mine comes as a distinct
relief to people interested in the
camp, who have daily watched prog
ress in the new shaft, realizing that
If it proved a continuation of the
ledge great mining activity might
be expected in Midas, and to pro-
erly celebrate the occasion bic
blowout is planned for tonight.
Phone messages to this city did
not convey the size of the orebody
found. but popular conception here
Is that it is about three feet wide.
Midas residents merely said that it
was "large," apparently being salts
fed with the fact that it was found
at all. Information was that it ie
the plan of the management to drift
further south on the ledge to more
adequately explore the finding.
The striking Of this ledge means
greatly increased mining effort in
the camp, with probably the pur-
chase Of new and adequate ma
chinery and the erecting of a mil'
to take the place of that of the
Elko Prince Mining Company whic'
was burned down. 1t of course viii
also mean additional opening ct
ground not on the Missing Lini
property and perhaps the starting OF
one Of Nevada's largest MINING
camps.

L|OTARD RELEASED
ARRESTED AGAIN
Jury Finds Him Not Guilty of
Manslaughter, But Bench War
rant Charging Prohibition
Violation 10 CHARGED

After serving six months in the
county Jail, during which time every
effort was expended to secure his
release on bail or otherwise, with
out success, Leon Liotard is today
at liberty, but still in the shadow
of prison because of now being
charged with new offense, that of
violation of the federal prohibition
law, probably arising out of the
finding of a still said to belong to
Liotard.
Liotard was held in Jail during
the six months on charge of man
slaughter arising from the death of
Miss Eula Holloway, who was killed
when Liotard's car, driven by Sim
skrites, backed into the Star hotel
building, crushing the young high
school girl. His trial was held yes
terday in district court and after
ten minutes deliberation the Jury
brought in verdict of not guilty.
As Liotard was ordered released
from custody by Judge Callahan, a
bench warrant from the federal
court, charging Liotard of the pro-
hibition violation, was served by
Sheriff Geo. w. Brady. Liotard
was later released by providing
$500 bail bonds.
C. E. Robins appeared as counsel
for Liotard, while District Attorney
L. G. Wilson prosecuted the case for
the state. Jurors were H. E. Eng
lish, R. Knieke, Edna Miller, L.
Oroz, VIM. Freemonth, J. Roy
