MININQ OUTLOOK FOR 1891. linker Cltv Democrat: Nover in the history of linker county did a new year give promise of such general activity in minine, circles an does 1SU2. The year just oloed lias proved one of great development in a min ing sense and the many promising pnqiorties in the various districts, which a year ago were only "pros jiectn," are today well developed mines, whose veins have width length and depth. 1-or instance the l.a Hellevue, which at a level of '2 feet, attained a few months since shows up splen- ittuiy. i ne ore oooy at tuts uepin is six or seven feet wide and very rich. The Intrinsic is another jroH)rty that tins undergone great develop ment during the past year, and the ote !odv improved oth in width and riclmesn with depth. The Itonatua which has assisted to swell I'nclo Sam's yellow metal, will double if not treble this year the output of last season. The hobbinn-ICIkhorn, another of linker county's bonanzas, has cloned a most proniHTou season. The ltuinley-Klkhorn, situated in the same district, has nent in regu lar shipments of bullion and its future grow brighter as the work progresses. The Lucky Hoy is all that tho name implies, the outputs have been most satisfactory to all con cerned and marked improvements will be made on the pnqwrty this year. Tho Morris is another p'oiierty that broduces the precious metal as the shipments of ore to Salt Lake and Denver attest. The Grey I'agle has turned out good rock which was nhipied to Salt Lake City for reduction and good results followed. The Plni'oix has madu splendid advancement during the past twelve months and has a very bright future ahem!, Last but not least, the White Swan, w hich an yet is in its infancy, but the outputs for tho past ten weeks, footing up to os'er f i t, (XX), and that, too, with a - ntainp mill tells us that it is a bonanza of bon muas. With the two additional stamps already added and theother improvement contemplated ere long tho tlUi,(XK) notch will have Iteen reached. There are no signs of the vein pinching out, but instead indi cations of H'rinaneney aro visible. The old reliable Connor ("reek mine still continues to keep up its well-earned reputatieii us a producer and many rich ,-trikus wore made last season. The Greenhorn, Granite, Susan ville, Sparta, Cornucopia and other districts tributary to Maker City have made a wonderful showing during the year just ended and I Mil! given promise of increased activity. Thu resumption of oK'rnlions at the old Virtue mine will add con siderable to Muker City, future prosjierity. Many new discoveries were inndu during I Ml! which are now under going extensive development with the beat of results. A more auspicious year never dunned iimjii a mining community than 1M2 promises for Maker and her adjacent counties. Sk id ilaiu-e next Friday livening, Jan.

The weukeat part of tint body is always attacked first, the nose, eyes or cars. As eoou as thu symptoms of the grip up'tcar, tlio" patient should go to a stove and inhale lint air. This in siilllcient in some eases to destiny tho organism. Hut in addition' to tlio hot air, alcoholic, vapors and powdered borax should be inhaled. For the eyes I would recommend a mixture of four giains of Imrax to one ounce of roncwater. When the ears are attacked treatment must be (litected to the throat. A small lump of borax may bo dissolved in the mouth. I it any iuiko the pn tient should nit by a stove, Using the alcoholic vnKir mid heated air. The only object is to destroy the bticilun, and this treatment "m.'ier fails.
