ANOTHER EL DORADO.
THE LATEST RUSH OF THE GOLD
SEEKERS IS TO WYOMING.
The New Dinins* nt Purpitorjr Gulch
Are Said to Be of the Bonansa Order.
Some Monster Nugget*-The Region
Difficult of Access.
The gold fever seems to have become
epidemic. It has almost come to such a
pass that it is considered an off day
■when some new goldfield, is not discov
ered which “rivals the Klondike.”
Even staid old New England has gone
into the El Dorado business, for, lacking
facilities for placer mining, some enter
prising citizens of Connecticut have dug
np the old theory of the possibility of
extracting gold from sea water, and
they actually claim to have their appa
ratus for accomplishing this long sought
end in practical operation. The public
seems to have lost much of its old time
distrust of gold strike yarns, but as yet
there has been no rush to stake out
claims along the Atlantic seacoast.
In southern Wyoming, however, a
discovery has been made which is re
ceiving much serious attention. Inci
dentally it is causing no little excite
ment. A white quartz bowlder, not
much larger than an ordinary wagon
wheel, is the center of interest. It is
what miners term a “ surf ace float, ” for
when first found it showed traces of
.gold. Upon closer examination this
mass of flinty rock was found to be hon
eycombed with the precious yellow met
al, and it is stated that the rock bolds
no less than $24,584 worth of pure
gold. Just how the able boomers of the
Wyoming Golconda have ascertained the
exact value of this monster nugget I do
not know, but exact mathematical in
formation never seems to be wanting
concerning new goldfields no matter how
recent their discovery.
This golden bowlder was found in
Purgatory gulch, a name, by the wav.

’BIKQ'B.iJA OF WYOMING’S NEW GOLDFIELDS,
to delight the soul of Bret Harte. Pur
gatory gulch, it might be well to men
tion, is in the very heart of the Sierra
Madre mountains, and through it runs
Grand Encampment river, a tributary
of the Platte. Like most goldfields, this
brand new Wyoming camp is almost in
accessible. The gulch is 60 miles from
the nearest railroad and is shut in fr«m
■civilization by mountain barriers for
100 miles to the south, east and west,
leaving the only entrance from the
north, whence it may be approached
from any one of a half dozen stations
along the Union Pacific.
Since the big find miners have been
swarming into the vicinity from all
parts of the west and excitement is at
fever heat. The customary mining ex
perts have bobbed up and have enthusi
astically declared that the surface indi
cations are richer than those of Lead
ville or Cripple Creek. Quartz showing
gold can be picked up all along the can
yon and from these pieces of float some
wonderfully alluring assays have been
made.
What the prospectors pin their hopes
to is the chance of finding the “mother
lode,” or original vein, from which
these pieces have been washed as out
croppings. Four miles southwest of the
new town of Grand Encampment which
has sprung up in the gulch is a moun
tain generously sprinkled with this
golden float. The prospectors have al
ready named it the Mountain of Gold,
and each and every one of them firmly
believes that somewhere in the solid
breast of that mount runs a streak of
ore in which are tons of pure gold.
All sorts of fascinating stories are
being told about the Mountain of Gold.
Here is a sample: “Pieces of float no
larger than hens’ eggs have been found
to contain from 50 cents to $1 worth of
free gold and chosen chunks have assayed
as high as $71,000 a ton.” When it is
considered that ore which yields S6O to
the ton, about the value of rock taken
from the famous Portland mine at Crip
ple Creek, is considered rich, it will be
seen that this is a good story to tell.
The mountain is traversed by nine
great parallel dikes of heavily mineral
ized quartz. These dikes are all tech
nically described as “cropping” and
stand out as plainly as the rows in a
cornfield. They are separated from

each other by quartzite and mica schist,
and the miners believe that in the bowels
of the mountain they converge and form
one great body of ore. It is said that
great dikes of white quartz rise often
four and five feet above the ground,
and their surface shows particles of free
gold even to the naked eye.
These conditions are unusual in
quartz mining, and even the alleged ex
perts who are on the spot admit that
they are unable to make an intelligent
estimate as to the character or value of
the hidden rock. Thus far the deepest
shaft sunk in the canyon is down only
20 feet, and the vein has widened from
6 inches to 3% feet. The reported assay
is $4,321.16 a ton, and if this is so the
richest mine in the world is not in the
Yukon region, but in southern Wyo
ming. C. T. Baxter.
It Brings Ravishing Dreams of Bliss.
In southern Arizona the jail and
prison officials have their hands full in
trying to prevent the smuggling into
their institutions of the seductive ma
riguana. This is a kind of loco weed
more powerful than opium. It is a dan
gerous thing for the uninitiated to han
dle, but those who know its uses say it
produces more ravishing dreams than
opium. The Mexicans mix it with to
bacco and smoke it with cigarettes, in
haling the smoke. When used in this
way, it produces a hilarious spirit in
the smoker that cannot be equaled by
any other form of dissipation. When
smuggled inside the prison walls, the
Mexicans readily pay $4 an ounce for
it, but free men buy it on the outside
for 50 cents. —San Francisco Calk.
A RELIC OF THE PAST.
Surgical Operations for the Cure of Piles and
Rectal Diseases no Longer Necessary.
A Medical Discovery Which Will Change the
Treatment es AU Such Diseases.
It has long been thought not only by
some physicians but by people in general
that the common, painful and exceed
ingly annoying trouble, piles, was prac
tically Incurable by any other means
than a surgical operation and this be
lief has been the cause of years of need
less suffering, because of the natural
dread of surgical operations.
There are many salves, ointments
and similar remedies on the market
which afford some relief in cases of piles
but the Pyramid Pile Cure is the only
preparation so far’introduced that can
be reliably depended upon to cure to
stay cured, every form of itching, bleed
ing or protruding piles.
Mrs. M, C. Hinkley of 601 Mississip
pi St., Indianapolis, was told by her
physicians that nothing but a surgical
operation costing between seven and
eight hundred dollars, could pure her as
she had suffered for 15 years; yet even
in such a case as hers the Pyramid Pile
Cure accomplished a complete cure. She
says: “I knew an operation would be
death to me and tried the Pyramid with
very little hope and it is not to be won
dered at that I am so enthusiastic in its
praise.”
Mr, D. E. Reed of South Lyons,
Mich., says I would not take SSOO and
be placed back where I was before I
used the Pyramid Pile Cure, I suffered
for years and it is now eghteen mouths
since I used it and not the slightest trace
of the trouble has returned.
The Pile Cure is sold by
nearly all druggists at 50 cents and $1
per package and as it contains no opium
coucaine or other poisonous drug can be
used with perfect safety.
No one need suffer from piles in any
form who will give this excellent remedy
a trial. Send for book on cause and
cure of piles, send free by addressing

A Carious* Russian Sect.
A curious sect in Russia is that known
as the Runners, because its members run
away like a sick animal to some lonely
spot to die when disease overtakes them.
Another is known as the Runner Smoth
erers. When any member of this extraor
dinary sect is seized with a mortal or
supposedly mortal illness, instead of be
ing allowed to run off to die he is put
out of the world by a woman whose title
is the “smotherer. ” The ceremony is,
for safety’s sake, generally performed
not in the victim’s house, but in the
common “praying room, ” a secret room
conveniently situated to escape the pry
ing eyes of authority and provided with
numerous exits in case of a surprise.
While psalms are sung and the censer
swung the old woman who usually holds
the honorable office of “smotherer” per
forms her task with a small cushion held
over the sick person’s nose and mouth,
the body being afterward secretly buried
in some remote spot, whither it is con
veyed under a load of some innocent
matter, such as hay.—New York
Tribune.

Positive Proof
A lady friend of mine has for several
years been troubled with bumps and
pimples on her face and neck, for which
she used various cosmetics in order to
remove them and beautify and improve
her complexion; but these local applioa
oations were only temporary, and left
her skin in worse condition.
I recommend an internal preparation
—known as Botanic Blood Balm, (B. B.
B.), which I have been using and selling
about two years; she used three bottles
and all pimplesiha<re disappeared; her
skin is soft and smooth and her general
health much improved. She expresses
herself much gratified, and can recom
mend it to all who are thus affected.

That
Tired Feeling
Makes you seem “all broken up,” with
out life, ambition, energy or appetite.
It is often the forerunner o' serious ill
ness, or the accompaniment of nervous
troubles. It is a positive proof of thin,
weak, impure blood; for, if the blood is
rich, red, vitalized and vigorous, it im
parts life and energy to every nerve,
organ and tissue of the body. The
necessity of taking Hood’s Sarsaparilla
for that tired feeling is therefore apparent
to every one, and the good it will do you
is equally beyond question. Remember

A Spirit Joker.
Several years ago a certain Cleveland
photographer made a specialty of * ‘ spir
it” photographs and built up quite a
trade in them. One day a solid looking
citizen entered the gallery.
“Sir,” he said to the photographer,
“I want my picture taken with my
mother’s. She died in the old country a
few days ago.”
“Very well, sir, ” said the man of
eameras, “take a seat.”
He posed the stranger and photo
graphed him and told him to call for
the finished article on a certain day.
Os course the simple operation of
double printing brought out a shadowy
face beside that of the stranger, the ef
fect being increased by the dim ghastli
ness of the faint impression.
Promptly on time the man came back
and was shown the picture.
“Ah,” he instantly said, “that isn’t
my mother.”
“Isn’t it?” said the photographer as
he slanted the portrait so as to catch the
light at a different angle.
“No, it.isn’t.”
“Strange,” said the artist. “But it
sometimes happens. The spirits have
their tricks and their little games just
like mortals, and I suppose some old
spirit lady is trying to fool us. You
don’t recognize the likeness at all, eh?”
“ ’Tisn’t that,” said the man.
“What is the trouble then?”
The man hesitated.
“Well, you see,” he said, “the pic
ture ain’t no use to me now. ”
“Why not?’ ’ inquired the photograph
er.
“ ’Cause I got a letter from my sister
this morning saying that it was all a
mistake about mother dying. She was
just lying in a swoon, and now she is al
most well again.”
The photographer kept his face
straight by a violent effort.
“That’s all right, ” he said. “Some
confounded spirit has put up a job on
us. You needn’t take the picture. Good
day. ” —Cleveland Plain Dealer.

How to Fravent PtOnmOaia.
At this time of the year a cold is very
easily contracted, and if left to run its
course without the aid Os some reliable
cough medicine is liable to result in that
dread disease, pneumonia. We know of
no better remedy to cure a cough or cold
than Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy.
We have used it quite extensively and
it has always given entire satisfaction.
—Olagah, Ind. Ter. Chief.
This is the only remedy that is known
to be a certain preventive of pneumonia.
Among the many thousands who have
used it for oolds and la grippe, we have
never yet learned of a single case having
resulted in pneumonia. Persons who
have weak lungs or have reason to fear
an attack of pneumonia, should keep
the remedy at hand. The 25 and 50

Little Attentions.
• Evil Is wrought by want of thought
As well as by want of heart.
If husbands only realized what the
little attentions mean to their wives,
there would be many happier unions.
It is not the cost of a gift that makes it
precious to the recipient. A tiny bunch
of violets brought home at night beto
kens the thought given to her even
while business occupies his attention;
the most trifling souvenir of a wedding
or birthday anniversary becomes a sen
timent underlying its proffering. Wom
en may be foolish, they may be all
heart and very little reason, but the
man who understands their nature and
caters to it is the one who stands high
er in their estimation than the one who
acts as though all they eared about was
material comfort given with any sort
of brusquerie.
Os course there are many mercenary
women—thousands and thousands who
can marry for a home and for rich rai
ment. These poohpooh the violets and
value only the diamonds. But the aver
age feminine heart, the sort which a man
wants to beat beside his own, the foun
dation of truest sympathy and love, is
moved more by the little attentions in
which sentiment is involved than by the
great offerings representing only a stu
pendous sum of money involved.—New
York Ledger.
