''In all my fifteen years experience
as q trained nurse" says Mrs. Clark's
statement, II never found the equal
of Tanlac as a stomach medicine and
tonic. Two years ago an attack of in
fluenza left me without appetite and
my stomach in such a bad fix that
harm instead of good.
stomach pains would make me so
weak l would feel right faint. The
least exertiOn would completely ex-
haust me and six months before
taking Tanlac l was so weak l had
to hire my hOusewOrk done. 1 was
in bed most of the time and for two
months was getting desperate.

Factors to Be Considered

| PARTICULAR part VI the Zoue Wiii, W
course, be worked down to the water
level.
Factors to Be Considered
The answer to the question regard
ing the famous area of placer days
! whether lode mining can be conducted
at a profit when motor truck high
ways become available, is dependent
on three main factors, the bulletin
states, namely: The size and persist
ence of veins; the gold content of the
veins and longitudinal distribution
therein; and the depth to which a
workable gold content may be expect
ed to continue.
In discussing the first of these, forty
veins, showing a width of from two
to forty feet have been followed along
their strike from five-hundred to six
thousand feet. Such veins, it is stated
compare favOrably so far as size is
concerned with the gold veins of
Australia, California and Cripple
Creek.
While it has been impossible in the
paper to attempt any systematic samp-
ling of the numerous veins exam
! ined, mill returns afford perhaps the
best criteria ,and from the best data
obtainable it appears that about 25O,-
600 tons of ore have been milled in
the district at an average of 81 to the
ton. including 100000 tons of ore
milled by the Orogrande or Hogan's
mine.
Depth of Gold Content
Regarding the depth to which work
able gold content may be expected,
the writer's state that there are "ex-
cellent reasons for believing that pri-
mary ore of workable grade persists
in at least certain parts of the area
to depths of below that attained by
the present workings" and that they
have mo hesitation in saying that IN
many of the districts described, much
greater boldness in development than
has vet been shown is justified"
The bulletin contains twenty seven
illustrations of geological formations
and mineralizations, developments in
the district, and photOmicrograps Oh
ore taken from the various workings
beside fifteen maps and drawings OF
the region. The bulletin will be ready
for distribution within two weeks, an
announcement from the bureau OF
mines at Moscow states.

r. b. Murphy Delivers Ad-

Today

"POlitics' from strictly nOnpalti-
san angle was the subject of an ad-
dress delivered this morning by r.
B. Murphy, chairman of the board of
administration, before the students
of the High School.
He called attention to the asper-
siOns cast upon public service today
in many quarters but declared that
indifference of voters was partially
responsible. Stating percentage of
those actually voting in some states
he declared this refusal to partici-
pate in politics was bringing about a
serious condition. In some states the
average vote that turned out was
little more than Is percent Of the
voting strength, he declared.
Official responsibility and duty to
the public were too little emphas ed
today declared Mr.. Murphy. He said
more of duty in Office and less clam
or for "rights" would result in bet
ter public service.
The students enjoyed the address
very much which was interspersed
with humorous experiences and some

Gregg during an alteration at the
Tyler ranch in the heart of the Bad
Lands, is being held at his home in
charge of deputy sheriff until he
can be taken back to Amidon, N D.

transferred via Medora 25 miles
north of the Tyler ranch to Amidon.

Ike Gregg met death at the hands of
Tyler without felonious intent. Tyler

the oil committee today showed that
after Walsh had forwarded to Dohney
u suggestion from a constituent as
to development of the Montana oil
field Dohney suggested that Walsh
or his brother go to Los Angeles
and consult about it.
Dohney based his suggestions on a
proviso that the Montana senator
or his brother was willing to take
interest in the proposition.
Senator Walsh replied that the
suggestion was most alluring" but
said he could not accept because
leasing negotiations with the govern
ment would be necessary.
While l am in the official posi-
tiOn hold said Walsh's reply, 1T
seems to me unwise for me to en-
gage in any business dependent in
any appreciable degree on govern
ment favor
The correspondence took place be-
fore Dohney revealed that he had
loaned 100000 to A. B. Fall but
after the senate inquiry into the Sim
clair and. Dohney leases had been
begun.
In reading the messages into the
record Senator Walsh said efforts
had been made "to discover some
thing that might be urged, feloniously
or otherwise against me-
That end would be served, he
said, IF it could be whispered about
that there had been an exchange OF
