People who have used spra and washes for catarrh and useless and Inconvenlent they are, will be agreeably surprised at results following the use of a pleasant internal remedy in tablet form; druggists everywhere admit that Stuart's Catarrh Tablets, which they sell at 50 cents for full sized treatment, is the safest, most ef- fective and popular of all catarrh remedies. Nearly all cheap cough mixtures and throat lozenges contaln oplates; these cheap medicines give a temporary relief, especially with little children, by destroying nerve sensation; the ir- ritation in throat, Which causes coughing, ls temporarily removed, mot by removing the cause, but by deadening the nerves of feeling. The irritation is not felt, although it s still there and will promptly return. Stuart’s Catarrh Tablets is the best remedy to remove catarrhal secretion, whether in the nose, throat or stomach, because they are com- of wholesome antiseptics like Red Gum, Blood Root, etc.; when you use these tablets you know what you are putting into your sys- tem, and not taking chances with cocazine, oplates or similar polsons, found in so many catarrh cures and coush medicines. Dr. Ramsdell in commenting on catarrh cures says: 1 can heartily recommend Stuart's Catarrh Tablets, because they contain no co- caine nor other dangerous drug found in so many advertised catarrh cures. I have known of many cases of long standing catarrh of the head and throat completely cured by the daily use of these tablets for several weeke. One case in particular, which I could not reach ith an inhaler or spray and where the catarrh Taused daily headaches and a noticeable loss of hearing, was entirely cured by this harmless but effective remedy.” B Feveeh S, o st e i a acribe Stuart's Catairh Tablets for eatarhal canachi cat 5 them. o be perfectly safe for child or fem, because we should seize u e e of cure wherever found."” i g Ytoart's Catarrii Tablets are especially valu. able. for catarrhal colds in children because fhey are pleasant to the taste and may be useq freely to break up severe colds and croup at the Vi m‘: o -Ei‘h'mltfltymu for A little on cause and cure of catarrh mu&-mucy-‘ummr.xlw:tco.. | compared with $698,669 for the year pre- | California oil are now put for the facili- “I wi'l defy any onz t> buy 3000 vol:mes that will give h'm as grod a working library as is furnished in the ENCYCLOPADIA BRITANN'CA a‘one.” —Ex-President Dwight, Yal , Univer COUNTY ...

A tract of 250 acres near Robinson's Ferry has been purchased by the California ,& Alaska Gold Mining Company frewn the Stants- laus Dredging Company. Development work 1s expected to soon begin on the tract of 120 acres owned by the Good Re- turn Mining Company, near Columbia, on the Stanislaus River. The report is current that the D. M. Bull mine near Quiney, Plumas County, will soon be operated. The output of Trinity County mines for the year 1501 is estimated at $1,050,000, as ceding. g e Wood‘wmen to the Mining and Scientific Press concerning the use of oil for fuel in the mines of Arizona, which grew out of the high charges for coke, amounting to $21 at a smelter south of Bisbee, owing to the high transportation rates. The coke was then selling at the ovens in Colorado at $350. Mr. Wood writes that the almost prohibitive cost of using coke was not the only disadvan- tage. There were times when the manu- facturers could not fill the orders for the mines; times when cars were delayed on the way from Colorado; timcs when freighting teams were scarce and also when the freighting teams were stalled en route. There were reasons in view for the demand that has since been made for the products of the California petrol- eum miners. Some of the uses to which tation of mining in counted. Cheap and Handy Fuel. At the Congress mine crude ofl has been used for years in the roasters. At that mine the non-shipping_ore is crushed, plated and con- centrated. But as all the values cannot be extracted by this process the tailings are roasted in the ofl fuel furnaces before cyanid- ing. In this operation the tailings are car- ried, in endless chain buckets, through a seriss of furnaces or fire boxes, in which the Arizona are re- fire consists sclely of burning oil. Aaother important step forward has just been taken at Globe, Ariz., where the 'Old Dominion Copper Company, after a month's trial announces that the experiment of using fuel oil in smelters has been successful. This test has demonstrated that oll is cheaper than wood or coal and can be used with entire sat- isfaction in smelting work. The use of oil as fuel is to be expanded at the Old Dominicn plant so_as to extend to the bollers at (s minecs. To carry out this plan the company 11 erect storage tanks of 200,000 gallons capacity, and construct a pipe line to convey o) from’ the smelter to the mines. Only thos who have the practical management of Ar zona mines on their hands can fully appre- ciate the difference in results which will follow the general introduction of oll as a cheaper substitute fuel for- wood, coke and coal. Reverting to the Congress mine, it should not be forgotten that the standard gauge steam railway engines in use on the Congress rallway, cperating between Congress Junction and Con- gress, use crude ofl as fuel under their boil- In this case, too, the operation is emi- Iy successful. The experiments above cited involve only the use of crude oil, but other tests have been going on with better quality oil. One in particular was conducted with a view to ascertaining whether crude dis- tillate could be used as the motive power in gas and garoline engines, instead of cither gas or high grade gasoline, at the suggestion of an Arizona operator who found steam plan:s unsultable for his operations. In order to make the test on a large and practical scale, a carload of 43 degrees distillate was shipped from the Puente, Cal., refinery to the engine manufecturing company's factory. The out- come of this test was the erection of distillate engines capable of running alm any kind of mining mechinery. Immediately two thirty horsepower engines were installed, one o operate a ten-stamp mill, crusher, vanner, pump and the other to run an air compressor cperating three drills, besides handling all the hoisting from a 500-foot shaft. These engines have been in very successful operation, and on a basie of economy which netted a total sav- ing equivalent to the price of coal. In other distillate and engineer cost no more an, thus saving the cost of coal, ides a saving in difference in original cost of plant as com- pared to a steam plant. Bill Interesting Miners.
