The of- fice has heretofore been under the Pal- ace Hotel. The new office is said to be one of the best branches in the United States. There is a seventy-two foot front in the place, giving ample room to the public for the transaction | of its business. The new quarter-sawed of the glass of the office finished In oak. Allj work in the front is Florentine. There are two money order windows, for this sub-station does the largest money order business of any office in the United States outside of the main office in New York. There is a win- dow: for the sale of stamps, one for the | carriers and one for general delivery. | Every effort has been made in the con- | struction of this office to facilitate the ;1mm9nse business the branch handles. | The entrance to the building, for- | merly the old quarters of the Builders’ | Exchange, is protected from the weath- | er by a right angle entrance. Behind the partition the office is equipped with everything for the rapid handling of mails, and special precaution has been | taken to protect mail matter from loss in handling. Facing on Mission street is a large door, through which runs a car from the street, carrying the malls to and from the street railway postoffice cars. Upstairs, owing to the rule which prohibits any of the mail carirers from remaining in the office when not on duty, a large lounging-rom has been built for them, with lockers and every convenience. —_— eee—— | Mrs. Clara Foitz, attorney at law, has re- ! moved to the Mills bld., 24 floor; tel.

Richard & Co., 406 Clay,s 7 be ren-| . crosswalks for $15 and 500 Teet of granite & in the Tonopah district, are quietly watching the movements of John Brock, the Philadelphia capitalist, and John Hays Hammond, the minjng ex- pert, who have been at the FPalace Hotel for several days. Their coming to the coast at this particular time of the year has been attended with much mystery to the outsiders, but to the mining men of Tonopah their visit, or at least that of Brock, is known to be due to the latter’s plan to effect a con- solidation of the larger mines of that district. It {s a move, however, that 18 not likely to be accomplished, for the feeling in Tonopah is very strongly opposed to Brock. John Brock, Arthur Brock and a number of other moneyed men of Phil- adelphia are the principal owners of the Tonopah Mining Company, Sup- posed to be the richest property in the district. Willlam C. Whitney of New York was formerly interested in the mine, but became dissatisfied with its management and finally made a prop- osition to the Brocks that they give or take, which ended in the latter buying out the millionaire horseman at an ad- vance on what he pald for his share in the mine. BROCK SECURES CO)\TTBOI.. The retirement of Whitney left the Brocks and their business associates in control of all but 200,000 shares of the company’s stock, which is owned by various people in Philadelphia and New York. For a time Arthur Brock was president of the company, but he is said to have soon tired of the way mat- ters were going and was succeeded in the presidency by his brother John. Since John Brock assumed the direc- tion of the affairs of the Toropah Min- ing Company there have been frequent expressions of dissatisfaction among the minor stockholders, developing mainly from the fact that it is well known that the mine is a rich one and should be paying large dividends, but for reasons which no one but the | Brocks and their close assoclates seem to understand, it has not been yielding a cent in the way of profits. Experts who have examined the mine | some _genuine ~ piano bargains. What { ohler ase undertake they do thor- have reported that there is already |, ghly “and such a_sale would attract blocked out ore of a value which is and $40,000,000, the ore being of the same character as that of the Comstock mines. Engineers who have long worked in those properties and have handled the product of the Tonopah and the adjacent holdings claim that the latter can be worked at a saving of 85 per cent. STOCKHOLDERS ARE ANXIOUS. These facts have come to the knowl- edge of the minority stockholders in the East and they have been demand- ing to know why the Tonopah mine is not worked at a profit and are eagerly seeking dividends. Through their own sources of inves- THE FEAR OF HUMBUG Prevents Many People From Trying ° & Good'Medicine. Stomach troubles are so common and in most cases so obstinate to cure that reople are st to lock with suspicion on any remedy claiming to be a radical, permanent cure for dyspepsia and indi- gestion. Many such pride themselves on their acuteness in never being hum- bugged, especially in medicines. This fear of being humbngged can be carried too far, so far, in fact, that many people suffer for years with weak digestion rather than risk a little time and money in faithfuily testing the claims made of a preparation so relia. ble and universally used as' Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. Now Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets are vastly different in one important re- spect from ordinary proprietary medi- cines for the reason that they are not a secret patent medicine; no secret is made of their ingredients, but analysis shows them to contain the natural di- gestive fcrments, pure aseptic pepsin, the digestive acids, Geolden Seal, bis- muth, hydrastis and nux. They are not cathartic, neither do they act power- fully on any organ, but they cure indi- gestion on the common sense plan of digesting the food eaten thoroughly be- fore it has timé to ferment, sour and cause the mischief. This is the only secret of their success. Cathartic pills never have and never can cure indigestion and. stomach troubles because they act entirely on the bowels, whereas the whole trouble is really in the stomach. Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets taken after meals digest the food. That is all | there is to it. Food nut digested or half digested is poison, as it creates gzas, acidity, headaches, palpitation of the heart, loss of flesh and appetite and many other troubles which are often called by some other name. They are sold by druggists where at 50 cents per package. 16 DEAL N THE PAND BUSINES Kohler & Chase Said to Have Obtained the Entire Stock of the Paige Piano * Company. aosir e | It is unofficlally stated that the stock of the Paige Plano Company, agents for the Blasius, Behning, Albrecht and other pianos, will pass into the hands of Koh- ler & Chase.

ADVERTISEMINTS. Mining Company has aroused a very bitter feeling in the camp against the managers, or rather the controllers of the property, in Philadelphia, and the fact is plainly evidenced in the utter- ances of a large number of mining men |from there who are now at the Palace. Trouble is expected, and the smaller mine owners are arraying themselves against the bigger corporation with a view of thwarting any attempt to de- press values or toward assisting plans for forcing the mines to come into a combination. John Hays Hammond, who is con- sulting engineer of the Tonopah Mining Company and receives an annual sal- ary of $25,000, stopped over at Tonopah on his way to the coast and inspected the property, but as to the results of his investigations, which were made in conjunction with several experts of the company, he declines to talk. e ————— Reduced rates on household goods to and from the East and South.
