It seems almost marvelous that the

that the entire issue of 1S93 was sent
to one of the banks of this city. It is

THE
Golconda Gold Mine
A Plain Statement of Fact :
The GOLCONDA MINE, in the Sumpter district, with all
its equipment, and ten other claims, was recently purchased by
the Golconda Consolidated Gold Mines Company, principal office
in Pendleton, which is now operating the mine. The full pur
chase price is paid, and all but the treasury stock disposed of to
those who advanced the purchase price.
There was left in the treasury for an operating fund
500,000 shares of treasury stock. Some of this stock is offered for
sale, but not exceeding 200,000 shares of it will be sold ; as that
will supply ample funds until the mine is more than self sus
taining. This stock is offered at 10 CENTS A SHARE for the next
thirty days.
As an investment of this character nothing equals it. To
prove its worth those at work in the mine, who are in a position
to.know what is in the Golconda, have bought stock at ten cents
a share to the extent of their financial, ability. Those who have
a little money which they can spare for the purpose should take
1,000 or more shares of this stock, as they will most likely find
it the very best investment they ever made in their lives.
Address all orders for stock with checks in favor of

What might have proved a serious
wreck was narrowly averted near
Ulm station, Wyoming a few days
ago. Two freight trains were
scheduled to meet there, but an ope
rator failed to deliver the orders to
one of ,tho tratns. The engineers
saw each other in time to reverso
their engines and the trains were
stopped with only four feet of day
light between them. Firemen B. F.
Frank and W. If. Mnllat jumped and
were slightly injured. The drive
wheels on both engines w.ere badly
flattened and will need now tires.
The operator at Ulm took to the tim

The Estimated Number In the United
States.
Professor John J. McCook. In the
sew York Independent, estimates
that there are now 60,000 tramps in
the United States, against 65,986 in
laoi, and 63,000 in 1893, of whom
30,000 attended the "World's Fair at
Chicago. He thinks there were only
about 17,000 tramps in 1870. 46,000
in 1880;. in 1873 40,000, and in 1894
62,000. The latter number was In
creased in 1895, but began to de
crease in 1896, and fell off 18 per
cent from 1897 to 1899, the war be
ginning in 1898, reducing the number
materially. Many enlisted, and in
some respects made good soldiers.
for they were tough in more ways
than one, and knew how to endure
hardships and take care of them
selves.
Professor McCook estimates that
50,000 tramps now afoot cost the
country 511,000,000 a year, while they
produce nothing. Most men who
take to the road in panic years, like
1873 and 1893-5, do not leave it when
prosperity returns, because they have
acquired the tramp habit and learned
to hate work.

"Five years ago a disease the doc

of me that I could scarcely go,"
writes Geo. S. Marsh, well known at
torney of Nocona, Tex. "I took quan

but nothing helped me. As a drown

at Kodol. I felt an improvement at
once and after . a few bottles am

The Great Value of Saving Time.
Thrift of time is as necessary as
thrift of money, and he who knows
how to save time has learned the
secret of accumulating educational
opportunity. Men who regard it as
sinful to waste money, waste time
with a prodigal's lavishness because
they do not understand the vnluo of
short periods of time; society is
full of people who might enrich
themselves an hundredfold and
mako their lives immensely more in
