P The reported jumping of the Deadhorse | mine in Tuolumne County has giyen rise ! to an Interesting discussion concerning | the necessity for performing a certain amount of labor annually under the Unit- ed States mining law to hold a mine. The | general statement of the Deadhorse situa- | tion is that the mine is unpatented; that | the owners some months ago removed { some of the machinery from the mine and |-have failed to, record labor -performed Isince 1%02. On e premises is still a | twenty-stamp mill, cyanide plant and | some bulldings. The jumping of the mine was mentioned some time ago. The United States mining law would not make It necessary for the owners to work 1904, at which time, under the Federal law, the mine would be subject to reloca- tion. Work to begin before January 1, 194, and to continue until the requisite labor_should be performed would save the property-to the owners so far as the na- tional law is concerned., The mine has been worked to the ‘depth of 1700 feet and largely developed. In the discussion that has ensued among the mipers over the jumping of | the Deadhorse mine the technical papers | are taking a part. The anomalous situa: | tion is described very fully from the legal point of view in the Mining and | Press, which says: | The United State¢ mining laws, while not pertect, are in the main just, clear and equa- ble; but State and local laws made to govern i J SN u*k.l"‘m“]'flkégm &% THE EPPT } WAREHOUSES, WHERE DRAUGHTSMEN ARE PREPARING TESTIMONY N B0 o3 5t TS ¢ S e { is to make a collective memorandum from all receipts and then proceed, with the as of able draughtsm to diagram warehouse floors as th actually ex- d then compare the actual condi- relating to presence or absence of in with those that were supposed by creditors just prior to the exposure of firm's affa ctually to exist All day yesterday this making of birds- led in the old gra he of Pacific Coast War 18 away | ( ny.

No Summer Bowel Troubles Not for me! I'm safe from all of them and happy. The heat of summer causes organic matter everywhere to decay. All dead vegetable or animal matter rots if not kept on ice. All undigested food in the human body will fer- ment a hundred times as quickly in summer as in winter. Consequence — stomach, liver, bowels poisoned, thrown out of order—sour stomach, gases, colic, diarrhoea, dysentery, cholera, appendicitis, and in some regions yellow feverand the plague. Little children suffer terribly every- where. What does good sense tell .vou to do ? You can’t keep the hu- man body on ice, and the drinking of ice-cold drinks does more harm than good beca use it stops digestion and chills the internal organs. The proper thing is to keep all “ -impure.and. unnecessary matter out of the body every day, not give it a chance to sour and decay in the stomach and bowels, and poison the blood == and the whole body. In this way you will stop all hot, feverish conditions, and keep your insides cool and healthy. To do it, use'a medicine that is not offensive to the taste and not harsh and violentin its action. There is only one safe system-cleaner to take in the summer time, because it wili not cause diarrhoea or griping, and that is Rt Best for the Bowels. All Iflls‘llh 10¢, . Never sold in bulk.

The affirmative position is taken. “It rather looks 30,” says the writer, “‘for has been. reported any discovery of one sensational nugget such as made the early days of Australia famous.” Alaska has produced enormous quantities of gold from her placer deposits, but the fargest Dugget ever found there was taken from the Kiondike a couple of years ago and was valued at but a couple of thousand doilars. When compared with the immense Australian or Cali- fornia nuggets this find was of no cansequence. Australia produced the greatest goid nuggei that the world has ever seen.
