4 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, MINING AT AMADOR, Delving for Richgs the Great Mother Lode. in YIELD OF THE KEYSTONE One Pioneer Claim That Has Paid Millions to Its Developers. CHANGES AT PLACERVILLE. Eastern Capital Seeking Investment in El Dorado County Property. AMADOR CITY, Car., Sept. 21.—Ama- dor County’s wealth in mining and mill- ing enterprise has been so quietly and conservatively movine along that the out- side world would scarcely form any ade- quate idea of its immense magnitude. The old spirit of seeming adventure, more fittingly termed enterprise, is to-day reap- ing its well-merited reward in this locality for the money invested. Capital isseeking investment in mining properties, yet in the very.vicinity where mills are success- fully grinding out the precious metal it asks development of properties and wants to foresee remuneration before an outlay is made. It ia well known that in most instances of early day records deep mining was un- known. The gold deposits were believed to be more or less in pockets and in a superficial area. But the wisdom of delv- ing deep into the bowels of the earth and sinking shafts to greater depth was re- warded by finding a second series of rich ore bodies, whose discontinuance has not been found. Mining and geological experts recognize that there are two zonesof gold to the mother lode in Amador County, one ex- tending to a depth of 600 or 700 feet and the other commencing at the 1100-foot level, extending to a depth at present un- limited. It may be well to note that the mother lode so often spoken and written about is an east dipping belt of slates and eruptive rock, containing chiefly a graphite slate, seamed with quartz and bordered by walls of greenstone. This continuesin a line parallel to the main chain of the Sierra Nevadas, through the entire counties of El Dorado, Amador and the three lower counties for a stretch of 100 miles. Upon this mother lode the methods and s of the early gold-seekers have been so completely superseded that be- wilderment follows admiration, and the once abandoned proverties have become the greatest producers of the State. Ex- ploration only serves to show that the depth of this richness seems unlimitable, ana in consequence. the mother lode cis- trict is deservedly famous as the richest gold-bearing formation of equal magni- n the history of gold mining. investment of capital in mining in- needs not only encouragement, but it seemingly requires some convincing illus- tration or example to incite it to action. For this purpose any one of the pioneer mines and milling properties that has steadily persevered in the daily routine of mining and miiling its products, which n and year out for three and a half des has never waited to have some- but Ty de body else develop a piece of propert has found it necessary to add mach upon its.planc from time to time to supply the demand made upon its abundance of milling resources might serve as an illus- tration. Taking up the first great property as one enters the little town of Amador. Four- teen miles of travel by stage from the rail- way at Ione, a branch line from Galt on the Sacramento and Stockton line, carries the traveler through fertile valleys and over charming slopes of a beautiful pan- oramic view, through a portion of the ro- mantic county of Amador to the village of the same name. As the stage halts at the hotel one beholds in full view at the end of the short street within three minutes’ walk the imposing old Keystone mill, with its wheels of industry lifting two-score of stamps that drop in regular gradation and greet ‘the ear with a welcome sound that tells the observing mind there can be no hard times here. The Keystone’s history dates back to the early It stands on the shore of a little stream and the hoisting-works loom proudly into the air high upon the adjoin- ing slope to the east of the mill. During its long and successful career the enginery of this little world in itself never ceased until January 1 of the current year, on which day it was enveloped in flames and completely destroyed. The energetic young superintendent at once set at work cleaning ,out the debris, sawing timbers for the new framework, fitted up the entire machinery, and in forty-nine days every wheel and stamp was again in motion. More than this, not an assessment was levied to cover the loss, and to-day in ad- dition to paying ‘‘running” expenses the plant is persevering in its daily routine of grinding out the precious metal, again upon a sound financial basis, with no rem- nant of fire loss against its credit—and all this was accomplished from the current product of the mine. The property is practically known as the Keystone Consolidated mine, and be- longs to an incorporated company. The claim comprises fifty-six acres. The ore is auartz-slate. The foot wall is diabase and the hanging wall® is greenstone. There are three shafts; the center one is down 1400 feet. Sixty men constitute the work- ing force in the mine, eight in the sawmill, yard and blacksmith-shops, and sixteen 1n the mill and sulphuret plant. There are eight batteries of five stamps each, and one Huntington mill. The concentrators are ten in number. The sawmill and hoisting works are moved by steam, and the mill by water power. The whole property, even underground, is lighted by electricity. ‘The sulpLuret plant is the superintend- ent's own invention, in swhich the slimes, after leaving the concentrators are passed over long narrow sluice-like boxes and caughtin a vat below, from which they are again passed through a concentrator. By this modus operandi enough money is made to pay the expense of running the whole mill. An assay office is connected with the plant, and ail the company’s ’W()rk in this branch isdone right at home, The underground work of timbering is all of a superior class, made to endure for two generations. The wood is spruce and pine, The discipline is excellent and the move- ment of each branch of this great industry shows everything to be methodical, syste- matic and eminently practical. As a sin- Slgxllnxtrnnon, the superintendent has a aily record of every ounce of quicksilver used, and he can tell within a very close margin what his product will be from the rock that has passed through the battery. In 1893 the net profit o? the Keystone Consolidated mine was $54,000. In 1894 the ratio was the same. During its career this mine has paid a dividend of $4,000,000. The property is by no means exhausted. There is 800 feet at the north end and 1100 feet at the south end that is still virgin property. There is ore enough in sight to permit the erection of ten additional stamps and continue the operation of the entire plant for the next twenty years.

The jerowd of spectators, the officers, sailors, payroll last month was $6174 48. The su- perintendent, E. T. Hale, is an assiduous worker_in and about his plant. He is still young in years. He is at his work without intermission and never leaves the town. His library is strewn with" the leading magazines and journals on science, engi- neering and mining interests. He isa great reader and puts his knowledge to practical use. PLACERVILLE Eastern Investors Becoming Interested in El Dorado Property. PLACERVILLE, CAL., Sept. 21.—Messrs. Bishop & Co. are erecting a 10-stamp mill near “Henry’s Diggings.”” They have free water summer and winter. R. M. Moore has secured six claims from Varozzio & Alderson and begun de- velopment work. These claims include the 'amous Alhambra, from which $40,000 was taken at a depth of fifty feet. A new mill will be erected for prospecting purposes, and the work will be rapidly crowded. Messrs. E. A. Head and P. Kerwin made a prolonged visit to the Blue Gauge prop- erty for the purposes of extensive investi- gation. This land is situated east of Pleas- ant Valley, twenty-two miles from Placer- ville. Itcomprises 460 acres, is well tim- bered and has an abundance of free water. It is avast body of slate, quartz and porphyry, and has ore enough to supply a 200-stamp mill for four generations. ‘The ore is of a low grade quality, but with_its facilities for cheap working will yield large profits. The samples of rock gath- ered at various places in the mine gave its prospectors great satisfaction. Messrs. Head and Mackay have secured a b on the property from the owners, Messrs. Bind & Reeg, and it is fair to pre- sume from information gathered that ac- tive work will soon be inaugurated by the new owners. Improvements are moving along in Placerville with an astonishing increase. New buildings are going up on all sides. A large and commodious addition to the town school has just been completed, The new residences are all substantial and handsome structures. In the last two years 110 buildings have been erected. There is not a vacant houte in town. Letters of inquiry for large mining prop- erties were received here the past week from London and New York, and also from Montana and Chicago. Ei Dorado’s rich properties, her facilities for power, both water and electricity, the abundance and cheavness of timber, and withal her equita- ble climate, are only beginning to become known. It is predicted that the next eight months will see a healthy and conservative investment in mining properties in this county. The hotels have been crowded for the past ten days by strangers looking after mining interests with a view to in- vesting capital. MARE ISLAND'S NEW TUG The Unadilla Launched and Christened at the Navy- Yard. MINING NOTES. A Stanch Craft, With Steel Designed for Deep-Sea Service. Hull, VALLEJO, Cav., Sept. 21.—The hand- some steel tug Unadilla was launched at Mare Island at 3 p. M. to-day before a large | marines and mechanics of the navy-yard. She dropped away from her dry moor- ings without a hitch and slid rapidly down into the water gracefu and then it was seen that the Unadilla was a comely vessel. She was the first steel or iron vessel ever launched from Mare Island, and for that reason alone her entering into her mew home was & canse of ceremonious observ- ance and great rejoicings. Shortly before the appointed honur de- tachments of marines, headed by the In- dependence band and field music, marched to where the hull stood, near the ferry slip, on the island front. Then the workmen swarmed from their many quarters until 1500 of them sur- rounded the lines of marines, and the peo- ple from Vallejo added to the enthusiastic gathering. Miss English, the daughter of Congress- man Enelish, named the boat and pres- ently the Unadilia slid away from her stays into the channel: There was a prodigious noise from the naval and other steam whistles, and loud cheers also as she dipped into the waves. TEe band meanwhile played the “Star- spangled Banner,” and the crowds looked on admiringly while two tugs caught the | boat in the water. The Unadilla is intended to be a first- class ocean tug that will transport men and supplies to any port along the coast in all kinds of weather. She will also assist in moving the large ships of the new navy at Mare Island. Her designer was the chief designer of the navy. The keel was laid April 29, and when she slid into the water to-day her hull was practically com- plete, and meanwhile the machinery has een erected in the shops and is ready to be placed on board. The hull is of steel throughout and made exceptionally strong, with seven watertight bulkheads, while for one-third of her length the frames are closely spaced eleven inches apart, so as to give this staunch boat ability to break her way through the ice-fields of the Behring Sea whenever she may be neeaed for service in the Arctic. The Unadilla is 121 feet long over all, with a beam of 25 feet, and a draught of 10 feet at her ordinary displacement of 345 tons. A triple-expansion engine, with three cylinders furnished with steam of 160 pounds pressure by one boiler, will drive her single-screw propeller. Her deckhouse is of steel, calculated to be strong enough to withstand heavy seas. She is fitted with two masts, the foremast having a derrick and a steam wench capa- .ble of hoisting 30 tons; also large cast- steel towing bitts at the end of tiie deck- hql]xse and smaller brass bitts along the rail. When finished she will have two tanks in the bow with a capacity of 10,500 gal- lons; adjoining them will be the crew’s quarters, then the forehold fitted for sleep- ing quarters for use when many men are aboard. Next in order will be fireroom, with the boiler pumps and forced draught fan, the engine-room, with coalbunkers on each side of these compartments, further aft the officers’ staterooms, then another space for freight and finally the after tank, in the deckhouse will be the large mess- room for the crew, a galley and the offi- cers’ messroom. Above the deckhouse the captain will have his stateroom with a large pilothouse in front, while on each side will be a stout boat 18 feet long, The vessel will carry 65 tons of coal, and be able to steam 10 days continuously at a speed of 260 a day, so she will make a voy- age of 2600 miles without recoaling. Her constructor says that she is so strongly built and so cleverly designed she need not fear the roughest weather on the seas. sl Hotel Burglary at Fowler. FRESNO, CavL., Sept. 21.—A man named Frank Granger was brought up from Fow- ler to-day by Deputy Constable Mason and lodged in jail on a charge of robbery. Granger went through every room in the Fowler Hotel last night and searched the clothes of the sleeping inmates, securing about $15. Granger finished by getting a man into his own room and there, at the point of a pistol, robbed him of §6. bl e Hor: for Slaughter, PENDLETON, Or., Sept. 21.—Switzler Bros, have sold another band of 2000 horses to the Linnton Packing House, near Port- land. This makes 10,000 head that have 1 been shipped for slaughter from Umatilla SACRAMENTO ENERGY, An Electric Railway to Connect Suburban Towns. AID TO THE FARMERS. Speedy Transmission of Their Products to Market Assured. CHEAP HOMES FOR MANY, Land Along the Route Dlvided Into Small Holdings for Resi~ dence Sites. SACRAMENTO, CAL., Sept. 21.—One of the leading adjuncts to the growth and prosperity of New Sacramento, as its resi- dents have been pleased to term this olden city since the advent of long-distance transmission of electric power within its limits has awakened it to new life and in- creased activity in commercial and manu- facturing interests, is the establishment of a line of electric railroad, which will stretch away through the rich garden dis- tricts which surround the city’s outskirts, along the low river lands that border the American River and across the vast stretches of the fertile San Juan grant to Orangevale’s sunny slopes and orange groves, which bid fair to rival the world- renowned Riverside district in the produc- tion and competition in Eastern markets. Surveys are already in progress and all necessary franchises procured for this new enterprise, and it is expected by the par- ties having the matter in hand that next spring will witness the entire line in suc- cessful operation. Not only will this road, which taps the richest fruit-bearing belt of the State, be an immense factor in promoting Sacra- mento’s growth, but it will be of untold advantage to the farmer and fruit-grower, as well as to the syndicates which have been formed for the purpose of promoting the scheme of subdividing the large tracts of land into small holdings, with multi- tudes of homes, where to-day there is scarcely a house. Through the agency of this rapid and complete system of transportation there is not a family in the colony of Orangevale, situated as it is twenty miles or more from Sacramento, but can successfully vie in the production of garden truck with the Italian and Chinese residents near the city limits, who for many years have had a monopoly in this line of products. Heretofore the gray hours of early morn- ing saw the heavy loaded wagons of the garden-truck producer moving slowly through the deep dust along the roads leading to this city, but in the future the rapidly moving electric freightcar will gather its load of crisp lettuce, rosy hes, green onions, golden-hued car- rots and purple egg plant, and before the night’s dew has dried will hurry to the early morniug marts of New Sacramento. To the fruit transporting firms and the pro- ducers living along the line of the new road this means of transportation will be of inestimable value—to the former be- cause they will be assured that the fruit which they receive from the producer will reach their hands without mar ot bruise, such as they have had to contend with in former years by the jolting of heavy wagons along rough country roads to rail- road shipping points. This electric line will run through what is conceded to be the most advantageous portion of the city for the establishment of manufacturing plants—that iying south of R and west of Ninth streets—and it is expected that considerable revenue will be derived from the transportation of the products of new manufacturing concerns to the water front and the Southern Pacific shipping sheds. As a pascenger route, the roads will prove of the greatest advantage to the farming community, and will also be an important factor in the establishment of suburban homes, where families may eke out small incomes and salaries by keeping of a cow and chic] which, with a small garden patch, will insure them a comfortable living, where heretofore every penny bas had to be rigldly expended to make ends meet. That these homes will be established is assured by the numerous inquiries after and purchases of small holdings along the proposed line. Considered in its entirety, there ig no en- terprise of the many under consideration at the present time that will so materially add to the advancement of Sacramento’s rosperity and the promotion of the wel- are and Increase of the population of Sac- ramento County. A Prisoner Jumped Prom a Moving Train, but Was Recaptured. FRESNO, CAL., Sept. 21.—Deputy Sheriff E. 0. Brown of Los Angeles came near losing a prisoner while passing through here on this morning’s south-bound train. Brown was taking a man named J. R. Payne from Truckee back to Los Angeles, where he is wanted on a charge of assault with a deadly waa{»on. Payne was not handcuffed and watch- ing his chance jumped throuch a window as the train was getting under full head- way after leaving the station. But the Devuty Sheriff also made a fly- ing jump off the train and pursued the fugitive. After a chase of half mile, in which the officer fired four shots at the escape, Brown caught his man. e A Senator White Leaves Los Angeles. LOS ANGELES, Can., Sept.21.—Sena- tor Stephen M. White left for San Fran- cisco on this afternoon’s train to meet Sena- tor Perkins and the rest of the delezation on rivers and harbors to inspect places where improvements are required and for which appropriations have been asked. Congressman McLachlan was to have joined him, but was prevented by other matters. Senator White says the investi- gation will take about ten daysto com- plete. 2B Work in Kings County Vineyards. HANFORD, Can, Sept. 21.—Kings County orchards and vineyards present a busy appearance. No less than 5000 men, women and children are now employed picking the prune and grape crops. To- day the first carload of dried prunes was shipped East by, Downing Brothers, g stz i bod Murder Near Kelso. KELSO, Wasn., Sept. 21.—John Green- wood, keeper of the Channel lighthouse in the Columbia River, who has a ranch near this town, was shot and killed on his ranch to-day by Charles Asimus, alias ““‘Humpback Charley.”” The trouble was over a bill for $30 Greenwood owed Asi- mus. The murderer is under arrest. RIS i Cottage Grove Fatality. COTTAGE GROVE, Or., Sept. 21,—Mrs. Mary Grousbeck, living on Row River, ten miles from here, was burned to death last night.

Eoem g PASADENA’S SENSATION. and Restaurateurs Arrested for Selling Liguor. PASADENA, Car., Sept. 21.—Tie arrest of several prominent druggists and res- taurant-keepers for violation of the liquor ordinance is the topic of interest in Pasa- dena to-day. The ordinance, while strictly prohibitory, is stringent. Common report alleges that every drugstore has a back entrance and small room, where liquor is secretly sold, and that restaurant-keepers are exceedingly lax in the sale of intoxi- cants. The W.C.T. U. and L 0. G. T. insti- tuted a crusade some weeks ago, and have, they claim, obtained sufficient evidence against twenty-five druggists and res- taurant-keepers to arrest them for viola- tion of ordinance. Only seven arrests have so far been made. John Apperson, a restaurant- keeper, was arrested on Thursday, and al- lowed to go on his own recognizance. He left the town, and search is being made for him near Redlands, Colton and vicin- ity, where it is supposed he is. - Under pretense of illness or necessity spies entrapped local druggists into giving them liquors, thus securing evidence against them. Several cases came up for examination to-day. The druggists will, for the most part, plead guilty and pay fines, ranging from $100 to $500. One paid to-day was $150. The restaurant-keepers will nearly all stand jury trial. Druggists —— Santa Monica Sewer Bonds. SANTA MONICA, CaL., Sept. 21.—The Board of Trustees at its last meeting can- vassed the vote of the sewer bond election and also introduced an ordinance author- izing the issuing of the bonds, which the State law compels to be laid over for one meeting. There are a number of bidders already in the field for the bonds, which will undoubtedly sell at par or above. Asleet oy Pasadena Electric-Car Ditched. PASADENA, Car., Sept. 2L.—An elec tric-car on the Pasadena and Pacific line jumped the track near the Buena Vista street bridge this morning and turned completely over. No one_ was injured, although the car was filled with passengers. S i Petaluma’s Festival Auxiliary. PETALUMA, CAL., Sept. 21.—The first rehearsal of the festival auxiliary was held last night, The chorus of fifty voices will take part in the May Festival in San Frun- cisco. Mendelssobn’s “Hymn of Praise” is the initial work, HLASKA'S AIP VAN WINKLE A Pioneer Who Has Spent Nearly Forty Years Away From Civilization. Saw a Steam Locomotive in Motlon for the First Time on Reach- ing Seattle. SEATTLE. Wash.,, Sept. 21.—When Richard Willoughby of Alaska stepped from the gangplank of the steamer Wil- lapa in this city this morning, a Great Northern train was just pulling out of the yards, passing near the steamship land- ing. That was the first train Willoughby ever saw, although he is now past sixt, eight years of age. Yesterday he got his first glimpse of a railroad and locomotive as the steamship touched at Vancouver, B. C., but he came to Seattle to see his first train in motion. There are a whole lot of other things which Mr. Willoughby has to see for the first time, because he has been a long time beyond the confines of up-to-date civilization, Nearly forty years ago Mr. Willoughby left Seattle in an Indian canoe for the northern coast and be returned to-day for the first time. Willoughby duplicates Rip Van Winkle and double discounts the fa- mous hermit of the Catskill Mountains, beating him by twenty years. His appear- ance here to-day, to a few old pioneers at least, is like the return from the grave of one of the oldest residents. He had ac- quaintance with a few of the very oldest {x_\hnbilams. but they are of a past genera- ion. Willoughby came to Puget Sound on the first steamer, said to be the Beaver, some- where about 189; built or helped to build and owned the first steamer on the Kraser River, which was later burned; he was through the Fraser River gold excitement, and was hand durmng all the early “little differ- ences” that occurred between England and Russia and the United States during the first years of traflic and settlement on the British Columbia and Alaska coast. He went to Alaska before it was an American dependency, and bas been there ever since prospecting’ and developing mines, until now he has a dozen of the best and has be- come a wealthy man. Willoughby has just sold a mine for $70,000 and is now on his way to San Fran- cisco, which place he has not seen since it was named Yerba Buena (the land of meadows), where he will turn over the deed to the mine and get his money. He left for there to-day. RSO War on Petaluma Chicken-Thieves.

GOLD GULCH ABLAZE, Forest Fires Raging in the Vicinity of Santa Cruz. GREAT DAMAGE DONE. Thousands of Acres of Timber Has Been Reduced to Ashes. FLAMES IN THE REDWOODS. Large Forces of Men Battling to Save Property—The Conflagra-~ tlon Unchecked. SANTA CRUZ, Car., Sept. 21.—A forest fire has been raging near this city all day. The fire was started at Gold Gulch, on the Kent property, and the high wind soon carried it beyond control. Soon Santa Cruzans saw an immense column of smoke rolling up from that direction and follow- ing the wind toward the southwest. The gulcaes and hillsides are filled with standing timber and there is also a large quantity of cordwood piled at intervals all through that section. The fire soon reached the lands of Henry Cowell and 100 men were soon engaged in fighting it, Mr. Cowell sent to town for help and Hibn’s mill in Gold Gulch was closed down and all the men were soon at work fighting the flames. The fire burned to the Big Tree road and at one place crossed the road. The travelers along this celebrated drive witnessed a grand sight to-day, the flames running up the immense redwoods and leaping from one tree to another. Cowel! lost about 4000 cords of wood and thousands of acres of valuable timber was burned. The fire is still raging. GOING T0 MEXICO. Archbishop TLopezr Returning From a Trip to Kome, ST. LOUIS, Mo., Sept. 21.—Archbishop Lopez of Monterey, Mexico, accompanied by Vicar-General Cabello, left Union sta- tion last night en route for Mexico. The Archbishop and the Vicar-General have just returned from Rome, arriving here yesterday., They visited Archbishop Kain and Brother Paulian, preceptor of the Christian Brothers College. The Archbishop was interviewed by a United Press reporter at Union station. He said without reservation that the apos- tolic delegate to the hierarchy of Mexico, who is yet to be appointed, wounld also be Embassador from the Vatican to Mexico, and would be so recognized by the Mexican Government. % He furtber stated that an understanding had been arrived at with the Mexican of- ficials, and that the official recognition of the representative of the temporal interests of the Holy See had been agreed upon. *“This will bedone," said the Archbishop, ‘“‘without giving offense to the Italian Gov- ernment, and will be done mainly to give an official head to the many property in- terests of the church now in litigation.” Concerning the ])roposed purchase of Rome by the Catholics of Europe, the Archbishop freely stated that the project was visionary and impracticable. Further, it would lend cotor of title to the usurper of the Pope’s possessions. The faithiul \\:o'gld not ransom that which is theirs be right. Gorman Was the Star.

The fear of g:: n and the ngers of par- turition fill many a woman’s breast with dis- may. There is no reason why childbirth should be A fraught with danger and distress. It is a perfectly natural function, and should be performed in a patural way without undue suffering, Nature never intended that women should be tortured when doing the one thing which makes them wholly wo- manly. The 'ierversion of nature’s laws has brought this suffering about, and a return to right living will stop it. Nine out of ten women are troubled more or less by weakness and diseases peculiar to their sex. Itis so because they do not take proper care of them- selves—because they neglect little ills and little precantions. A woman in per- fectly hearty health goes through her time of trial with comparative ease. The thing to do then, is to make all e - tant mothers healthy — to strengthen them generally and locally. The medi- cine and tonic to do it with is Doctor Pierce’s Favorite Prescription. It isa powerful invigorant and nervine. It soothes and stren%tgens the nerves and acts directly on the feminine organism in a way which fits it for the proper and regular performance of all its functions at ';fk hm;s. _Taken during gestation it robs child- birth of its dangers to both mother and child, by preparing the system for de- ixvery _therelay ;I;onening labor, leossen; ng pain and abbreviating the period of confip-:ment. 4 5 A Book of 168 pages on ‘‘ Woman and Her Diseases’” and telling how to cure them with home-treatment, 10 cents (stamps) to % cover postage. WORLD’S DISPENSARY ICAL ASSOCIATION, Buffalo, N. ¥, * WAS CURABLE A Somewhat Stubborn Case, buf It Proves More Than Ever WHAT GREAT SKILL CAN ACCOMPLISH. The Physicians of the Hudson Medical Institute Work Wonders for a Man Who Was About to Give Up All Hope—His ¢Last Resort’” Salvation. Proves IT 1S NOT EVERY DAY, BUT IT CERTAINLY is every week, and usually twice or three times a week, that the saying that “as long as there is life there is hope for you, even if your case has been pronounced incurable by & dozen other physicians,” is verified at the grand old Hudson Medical Institute, thatgreat curative institution. And, perhaps, it has never been more clearly shown than compara- tively recently, when the case of a gentleman from Indian Diggings was brought to the no- tice of the specialists practicing there. The name of the gentleman to whom we refer was Adam Nelson, and perhaps the story is best told in his own words. He writes as follows from his home under date of March 25th last: HupsoN MEDICAL INSTITUTE — Gentlemen: After _suffering for & length of time from what I {hought was an incurable disease, T was finally per- suaded to try the Hudson Medical Institute, of Which I bad heard so much.and it was almost against my own judgment that I wrote vou tue let- ter that I did. Now, after several months’ treat- ment, it is with a great deal of gratitude that I write you these few lines of thanks. My case was stubborn and complicated, but under your con- scientious treatment I bave gradually improved, until now I can sately say that I have been entirely cured. 1 sincerely trust, gentlemen, that to ail those who are suffering as I have suffered you will cite my case, or, better still let them write to mo and I will tell them what you have accomplished. Yours very truly, ADAM NELSON. Indian Diggings, March 25, 1895. It would not be at all difficult to go into the painful details of this quite severe case, but it is not necessary. It is easily seen from Mr. Nelson’s straightforward letter that it wasa most difficult and dangerous one, nevertheless the great specialists had no trouble in effecting a great and grand cure. Thousands upon thou- sands indorse Mr. Nelson in his opinion of their wonderful skill—for instance: Mr. F Clyde of Victoria, B. C., says: “I hardly know how to thank you for what you have done for me so far. I am just about cured.” A. W. Neale of Los Angeles: ‘“Your treat~ ment has done all that you claimed and I bless the day that I placed myself in your hands.” F. F. Bartels of Oroville writes: “I am alto- gether a new man to what I was when I com- menced taking your medicines.” W. A. Russell of Machias, Wash.: “I regret that I am not able to pay you ten times your fee. I shall most certainly recommend you to all sufferers.” W. P. Dillman of Sacramento says: ‘‘ I thank you a thousand times for the great good you Lave done me. May God bless you.” Thousands of others have testified in similar strains. Then remember that until you have been told by the specialists at the grand old Hudson Medieal Institute that your case is incurable, there is hope for you. All curable diseases are successfuily treated at the Insti- tute. All the Following Cases Are Cnrable: Catarrh of the head, stomach or bladder: all bronchial d's-ases; all functional nervous dis- eases; St. Vitus’ aance: hysteria: shaking palsy; epilepsy: all venereal di-eases: all kinds of blood troubles: ulcers: was'es of vital foroes: rheuma- tism; gout: eczema; all skin diseases, from what- ever cause arising: psories s; all blood poisoning: varicocele: poison oak; r impuired manhood ; inal trouble; ous exhaustion snd prostra- i 3 Kidney diseases; lum- r troubles: dyspepsia; in- s all visceral disorders, | which are trea‘e.! the deporatipg departments.
