QUARTZ IN THE BONNIFIELD. ?
The glowing reports that have been
lecelved reKarding the prospects for
a big quartz camp in the Bonnifleld
country should stimulate those Inter
ested in the quarti properties here to
greater endeavor. That the quartz is
here has apparently been demonstrat
ed by the amount of work already
done, but between the time of locat
ing a good prospect and the develop
ing of a quartz mine several long
years generally must Intervene unless
there is a sufficiency of capital to ex
pedite the dead work. To that end
.t would seem that the suggestion to
form a development company that
would confiue Its work to the most
promising property in the camp that
could be secured on reasonable terms
should be taken up by those inter
ested and thoroughly tested. ? Tanana

ABDUL HAMID.
Oh. don't you remember A. Hamid.
Ben Bolt, sweet Abdul, who wore a
tin crown? His servants would shake
at the sound of his voice, and tremble
with fear at hts frown: they have
filed him away in the cooler, Ben
Bolt, the Young Turks have camped
on his frame; his henchmen they hung
io "he beams of a bridge, and sweet
Ab<k?l Is out of the game Ota, don't
you remember the YlUiiz Kiosk, the
smoothest kiosk in the bunch? It
was there that he herded his wives
by the gross, and handed them garlic
for lunch; they have aken his wives
to the dump ground. Ben Bolt, a wail
ing and lachrymose group: they gave
him eight hundred decrees of divorce,
and sweet Abdul is deep in the soup.
Oh. don't you remember the poison.
Ben Bolt, that we used when we
wished to kill rats? Old Ab is afraid.
If he swallows his grub, he'll get
some of that 'tween his sb>ts: he's
feeling all -lay at hi.? headpiece. Ben
Bolt, to see If its still on his neck:
in Turkey, they say, there's the dawn
o* reform, but sweet Abdul's reduced
to a wreck. ? Walt Mason.

a tower, sitteth not down first, and

WHAT THE KIDNEYS DO
Thoir Uncoasing Work Keops Us
Strong and Healthy.
AU tho blood iu tho body passes
through the kidneys once 'every thro
minutes. Tho kidneys filter the blood
They work nlgt and day. When
healthy they remove about 500 graiua
of Impure mattw dally, when un
healthy some part of this impure mat
ttr is left in the blood. This brings
on many diseases and symptoms ?
pain in the back, headache, nervous
ness, hot, dry skin, rheumatism, gout,
gravel, disorders of the eyesight aud
!? taring, dizziness irregular heart,
debility, drowsiness, dropsy, deposits
in tho urine, otc. But if you keep the
filters right you will have no trouble
with your kidneys.
W. A. Hawkins, G69 Yesler Way,
Seattle, Wash., says: "It gives me
pleasure to confirm tho statement 1
gave for publication some years ago
in favor of Doan's Kidney Pills as
the relief I obtained from their use
has proven permanent I suffered
from an acute attack of kidney trou
ble and though 1 used remedy after
remedy, I was unable to find relief.
I had the most severe pains across
the small of my back and was also
annoyed by Irregular passages of the
kidney secretions. Doan's Kidney
Hills helped mo at onco and continue
| use ontirely relieved me. 1 am a
great advocate of Doan's Kidney Pills
| and have recommended them on
many occasions."
