Catarrh is recognized all over the civilized world as a formidable disease. In the United States alone, two hundred thousand people have catarrh annually. In other countries the ratio of victims is as great. For many years Pe-ru-na has held the foremost place as a standard remedy for catarrh. Pe-ru-na is well-known in both the western and eastern hemispheres. OneIn 1 :AMONG THE MINERSs Latest News From the Minkel Camps a of Fergus County end Elsewhere. awe assmisms iesinwnignm mime So far as the United States is con- cerned, the chief event of the year with respect to silver was the resump- tion of silver purchases upon the part of the government It was stated at the outset that continued purchases might be expected, but they ceased for a time in the late fall. The first pur- chase was made in August, and the total purchases came to somewhat ov- er 6,000,000 ounces, or approximately eleven per cent, of the output of the United States. This is equal to about 34 per cent, of the annual output of the world. Since 1896 the coinage of silver by the mints of the world has averaged higher than that of any previous per- iod and, with the exception of some scattered years, much higher. The average of the four years preceding 1906 was approximately 16 per cent. greater than the amount coined in 1887, the largest amount prior to 1897. The year 1906 will show an increase in silver coinage and national pur- chases over 1906, the demand from India being more than double that of the previous year. The use of silver in the arts and manufactures has been steadily in- creasing since 1896, which year show- ed a loss in this particular, accord- ing to the mint reports. The amount of silver furnished by the United States mints for this purpose during 1905 was approximately three [Irma the amount so furnished in 1897, and equal to about forty per cent, of the annual output of this country during that year. The production of silver in the United States during 1906 show- ed practically no change, yet the use of silver in the arts and manufactures showed a material gain. The action of the mint in purchas- ing over 6,000,000 ounces furnishes an addition of no vgry great percentage, but it was board to be felt In the presence of the greater purchases from abroad. A balance of accolubts refers the additional demand for lilt ver during 1906 to manufacturing. The effect of the demand for silver by the arts In ROMP measure contributed to the advance in the price of the white metal, but one must look for the fun- damental reason in the increased pro- duction of gold. For the purposes of a purely eco- nomic inquiry, and with no desire to get into a \free silver\ argument, it may be well to call attention to the fact -that -the raUo. of the_worliEs sit Ter production In 1905 was greater than at any period since 1670. Silver remained stationary, while gold made a great advance. Again, in 1906, sil- ver remained Stationary. while the world's gold production increased to approximately 19.575,000 ounces, the raUo showing another change. If a similar Increase in gold production is recorded during 1907. the ratio will return to that of 1870. Following 1866 the annual production of silver began a&vancing at a high rate, while gold production remained nearly station- ary. Since 1890, the reverse has been the ease, and the annual rate for geld has now caught up with the annual rate for silver, as understood in 187Q. ' 4 White Sulphur Springs Gasette: Re - have been current during the of the discovery of gold a few north of Cobticropolis by a party prospectors from Lewistown. The M cyaniding, and is said to carry ever, the old saying, \gold is where you find It,\ still remains true, and the opening up of good gold mines in the highly mineralized vine surround- ing White Sulphur Springs is not at all an improbability. Kendall stock lifirmer now tffan It has been for many months past. There is apparently considerable demand for the shares, as the Spokane brokers are all advertising for small blocks. The price remains around $2. White Sulphur Springs Enterprise: What is purported to be a valuable strike was made some time ago near Copper by a man named Ed. Lundt, but it was only recently that the facts of the discovery became known to the public. Locations, are rapidly being made in that section, and it is said that all the ground is already staked. The minerals specified in the location notices are for sapphires, rubies and other metals. Gold and copper are also found in the rock. It is said that soon after the discovery Mr. Lurrdt took specimens to Lewistown which assayed $250 in gold and contained rubies and sapphires. The lead is traced from what Is known as the Red butte in a westerly direction to Louts Gies ranch on Smith river. The people of this town seem very enthusiastic over what the outcome will be. A number of well known Kendall and Lewistown men have organized the North Kendall Gold Miniag com- Pany and 1,ropose to develop a num- ber et claims comprising a tract of 640 acres, located north of the North Moccasin mountain. The ground is in the vicinity of Plum creek, and ex- tends out onto the flat. The company is capitalized at $2.500,000, and the directors chosen are A. W. 'Stoddard. W. S. Smith, W. C. Kruse, T. R. Mat- lock, Frank Williams. T. J. Tubb and L. P. Slater. Others interested in the project are S. W. Pennock, H. L. De Kalb, Dan Curry, Bert d'Autremont, M. D. Deaton and Noble Walker. It is the intention of the company to put a diamond drill on this tract just as soon as the weather conditions are favorable, and thoroughly explore the ground. The settlement of the wage -scale for miners and inneltermen of Butte. Anaconda and Great Falls, for a period of five years, has just been agreed to between committees from the unions and John D. Ryan, managing director of the Amalgamated Copper company. After April 1 the miners will receive $4 per day so long as copper remains at or over 18 cents per pound, and smeltermen will receive about $3.60 per day. Last November the mining com- Denies voluntarily granted the miners and smelterfnen Ad increase of 26 tents per day, therefore it did not affect the skilled men at the smel- ters. The readjustment last week was granted to equalize wages. When the miners a month ago announced their intention to vote on an amendment to the constitution of their union, making the permanent daily wage $4, they were notified by Mr. Ryan that the Amalgamated company would not pay the increase, and that while the company, at the present price of copper, could afford to pay, it could not pay the $4 scale should capper fall below 18 cents, unlesa mining was confined entirely to high grade ore. Mr. Ryan said the aim 9? hie com- pany Is to gradually grade Pt&Te so that eventually ore carrying as 1 per cent copper can be mined at a profit—Mining World. 15. H. cia.mpbell and E. K.

Pendleton, Ore., March 28.—Some of the prominent wool buyers from the east have commenced to arrive In this section..three,being in the city, and more to follow. Those hele - are Charles H. Greene, representing Koch - land Brothers, E. H. Clark of the same firm and Leon Strauss, an In- dependent buyer. They announce that they have come here at this time to see how the sheep have wintered and to take a preliminary look over the country. They say that the prevail- ing prices this year will be consider- ably lower than those of last, as no- body made any money out of wool last year purchased in this section, owing to the high prices paid. According to Mr. Greene the Arizona market open- ed this year at about 21 cents, but dropped 2 cents below that figure. Thus far he says there has been no schedule of dates made, but not much will be purchased until shearing is ov- er. The season at Phoenix, Ariz., is now practically closed, and buyers are at present In southern California, from which section they will come to eastern Oregon and southern Idaho. The Eastern Market. Following Is Dun's current review of the wool market: \Eastern mills have purchased raw wool moderately, holding the markets steady, and conditions show no alter- ation. The London auction sale open- ed with good assortments and brisk competition from European and Amer- ican buyers. Prices at the start were unchanged to 6 per cent. higher. \Boston—Trading in, wool is quiet, but there is a better feeling in the market owing to thes trong opening of the London auction sales of colon- ial wool, all grades ruling firm and some 5 per cent, higher, with active competition from a large attendance of buyers. No large transactions are reported here in domestic stoek, but there is a steady movement in small lots at unchanged prices. Business in Australian wool is large. The demand for fresh supplies is good and large quantities are approved as they ar- rive after being bought in advance. Total shipments for the week, 7,500,- 000 pounds, are the heaviest of any week of record. Receipts are MO,. 000 pounds, largely foreign.\ Death of Mrs. Mary Morrison. The Argus has received a letter from Robert Morrison, of San Diego, giving further particulars of the recent death of his mother, Mrs. Mary Morrison, at that place. Death was due to heart failure, as before stated, and Mr. Mor- rison says his mother suffered very little, her illness being of but an hour's duration The interment took - place at the Iteeonte cemetery, San Diego, Thursday, 'March 9. The San Diego Union contained the following announcement of Mrs. Mor- rison's death: . \Morrison—In this city, March 6, 1907, Mrs. Mary Morrison, mother of 114/ert Morrison, of this city, and 515- tarof John T.
