While preparations are under way

told wealth producer is continually
springing happy surprises on its for
tunate owner and discoverer. One
day r-contly while one of the men was
digging about 12 feet distant from the
rich deposit he uncovered another rich
golden streak, set m;ng as valuable a
the first find that lies covered up
awaiting the erection of the windlass
to hoist it to the surface. Work on
the tunnel of the Great Northern is
orogressing as rapidly as drills and
glint tpowder can tear down the
earth's foundation. Work is progress
ing day and night, and already three
rich seams carrying the fine gold have
be?n encountered in the tunnel. The
first one severed was one inch, the
second four inches, and the last one
eiht inches in width.

MICHAEL DAT1TT SPEAKS.
Be Says England's Friendship for America
is Only Pretended.
Michael Davitt, te great Irish lead
er and member of parliament,cables to
the N6w York World as follows:
The English attitude on the American-Spanish
crisis is influenced by two
most selfish motives. First, she jeal
ously guards a conflict which might
exhibit the republic as a strong rival
naval power and which would call
forth at this juncture the great poten
tial military str ngth of the United
States; secondly, 'be wishes by means
of a cheap and insincere expression of
sympathy with tax United States in
the quarrel with Spain to obtain in re
turn the invaluable prestige of America'-
sy.npithy in a possible struggle
with Russia in China. Thus n ws
papers ordinarilr most anti-American
as orer the Venezuel m difficulty, are
now trying to iu press France and
Russia. America's tried friends in the
past, 'with the idea that an alliance be
tween England and America is possi
ble of attainmnnt. Such an alliance is
formed while Enpland Is dUtrustad in
her motives tnd p.li.-y bv every other
civilized nation, would destroy the
great moral infi lence which the United
States as a non aggressive and a rion
grahhing power weilds throuhnu', the
world today. The sympathies of the
ruling classes of England are really
with Spain. They are as hostile to
America today as they were iu the
days of war.

To whom it may concern: Having

another insurance association circu
lated the report that the Mutual Pro

amount of insurance on my dwelling,
which was destroyad by fire in Saptem
ber last, and which was insured in that
Association for $300. I berepy state
that such report is absolutely untrue.
That said Association not only paid
the fuil amount of their policy on said
dwelling, but they paid $150 thereof
before the same was due, according to
the terms of their policy, in order to
accommodate me, and I would further
state that I am ent'rely satisfied with
the treatment I have received from
that Association, and cheerfully rec

they adjusted and settled my loss.

Home That Are Harted One Way and An
other.
En. times-Mountaineeb:
The Chronicle in a recent article ex
pressed great solicitude for the welfare
of the peoples party, because it is
about to be "swallowed up" by the
democrats.
Practice makes anything legal in
politics, hence as a last resort, the
gold standard party has its only hope
in creating a strife in the silver ranks
so that it may slip into power again
I would exhort all ui ion men to be
ware of the bone of contention carried
by the gold standard party and dropped
within our ranks, simply to allow
them to get what they are pleased to
term spoils.
Whatever may be the aim of the
anion movement, the fact that the
true principle equity is the underlying
pillar on hich it rests can neither he
frowned, hissed or clubbed down. The
fact that the principles are the pro
duct of pure thoughts of sound think-
ing men for the best interests of our
social systems cannot be denied.
Toe only objection advanced by the
opposing party is their clal n that we
are Impracticable, and I wish to state
here that nothiog hu ever been j

From Extreme Nervousness.
THAT no one remedy can contain the
elements necessary to care all diseas
es, is a (act well known to everyone.
Dr. Miles' System of Restorative Remedies
consists of seven distinctively different
preparations, each for its own purpose.
Mrs. L. C. Bramley, 37 Henry St, St Cath
erines, Ontario, writes: "For years I uf
tfred from extreme nervousness and annoy
ing constipation, developing into palpitation
and weakness of the heart. I was unable to
sleep, suffered much from headache, pain In
my left side, palpitation and a constant
feeling of weakness and prostration. I began
using Dr. Miles' Nervine, Heart Cure and
Nerve and Liver Pills and the Anti-Fain
Pills to relieve sudden paroxysms of pain
and headache. I soon felt much improved
and the pains and aches and weariness left
me. I then took Dr. Miles Restorative
Tonic and am now restored to my former
good health.'
