Reno, N ev., Feb. 1 8 — A t the 60-foot level of the lease of John Kearns, on Balloon mountain, at K a vh id e, today, Tom Kearns set off a shot that uncov ered a breast of ore lite ra lly a liv e with gold and assaying clear across the six loot opening more than $600 per ton In gold and silver, m aking it by far the largest gold discovery in the history of Nevada, if not in the world. The strike is only a short diatance from th * estate o f the Balloon H ill com pany’ s property which sold last week for $600,000. N ot since the dig covery o f Tonopah has the excitement been so Intense in Reno. Tonight more than 200 residents of this city, many o f them business^'raen and others clerks, left for the scene. This rush lias been goin g on for the past ten days on re ports o f strikes from the camp, but the confirmed story o f the Kearns strike this afternoon has added to the excite ment. The population since last week lias grown to 6,000 and is being added to as rapidly as conveyances can carry for tune Beekers to the camp. The ore to a ll appearances is in place. The vein forms a contact between the main back bone of Balloon h ill and joins the coun try rock to the west, which is altered porphyry. The gangue is in a moder ately solidified kaolinized rh yolite car ryin g about $3 in gold to $1 in silver. W A R FE V ER IN R U S S IA . Rushirg Troops to Fr ntier to Fight Turkey 8t. Petersburg, Feb. 18.— The alarm ist reports of the p ossibility of h o stili ties between Russia and Turkey, w h ich have permeated a ll stratas o f Russian society, have assumed the proportions of a veritable war scare, to which the sensational press is devoting its biggest headlines. The situation is taken seriously, not o n ly in m ilitary circles, but also by conservative politicians. M. Gutch koff, leader of the m ajority in the douma, announced his intention to n igh t of raising at the next m eeting of the com mittee of national defense the question o f the n ation’s readiness for war. This, he believes, is of the most, v ita l importance, in view of the news from the Caucasus and a ll parts of Europe. H e also purposes to in terp el late the m inister of communications on the a b ility of the railroads to transport troops qu ckly to the frontiers. The douma, according to M . Gutch- koff, w ill be gu ilty o f crim inal n egli gence if it perm its the country again to be drawn into a war for which it is w holly unprepared. The surest means to avoid a rupture, lie said, is serious preparation for any even tuality. “ .She’s the most remarkable elderly woman I ever saw.” S W E D E N F E A R S R U S S IA . “ Doesn’t show her age?” “ Not that.

H a .d l.d Grabber B E I t Is perfectly natural to rub the spot that hurts, and when the muscle», nerves, joints and bones are throbbing and twitching with the pains of Rheumatism the sufferer i3 apt to turn to the liniment bottle, or some other external application, in an effort to get relief from the disease, by producing counter-irritation on the flesh. Such treatment w ill quiet the pain tempo rarily, but can have no direct curative effect on the real disease because it does not reach the blood, where the cause is located. Rheumatism i» more than skin deep— it is rooted and grounded in the blood and can only be reached by constitutional treatment— IT C A N N O T BE RUBBED A W A Y . Rheumatism is due to an excess of uric acid in the blood, brought about by the accumulation in the system of refuse matter which the natural avenues of bodily waste, the Bowels and Kidneys, have failed to carry off. This refuse matter, coming ia contact with the different acids of the body, forma uric acid which is absorbed into the blood and distributed to all parts of tha body, and Rheumatism gets possession o f the system. The aches and paina are only symptoms, and though they may be scattered or relieved for a time by surface treatment, they w ill reappear at the first exposure to cold or dampness, or after an attack of indigestion or other irregularity. Rheuma tism can never be permanently cured while the circulation remains saturated with irritating, pain-producing uric acid poison. The disease w ill shift from muscle to muscle or joint to joint, settling on the nerves, causing inflammation and swelling and such terrible pains that the nervous system Is often shattered, the health undermined, and perhaps the patient become» deformed and crippled for life. S. S. S. thoroughly cleanses the blood and renovates the circulation by neutralizing the acids and expelling all foreign matter from thesystem. It warms and invigorates the blood so that instead of a weak, sour stream, constantly deposit ing acrid and corrosive matter in the mus cles, nerves, joints and bones, thebody is fed and nourished by rich, health-sustaining blood which completely and permanently cures Rheumatism. S. S. S. is composed PURELY VEGETABLE of both purifying and tonic propertie just what is needed in every case of Rheu- matism. It contains no potash alkali or other mineral ingredient, but ia made entirely of purifying, healing extracts and juices of roots, herbs and barks. If you are suffering from Rheumatism do not waste valuable time trying to rub a blood disease away, but begin the use of S. S.
