If they are sick or out of order, they fall to do their work. Pains, aches and rheu matism come from ex cess of uric acid in the blood, due to neglected kidney trouble. Kidney trouble causes quick or unsteady heart beats, and makes one feel as though they had heart trouble, because the heart Is over-working In pumping thick, kidney poisoned blood through veins and arteries. It used to be considered that only urinary troubles were to be traced to the kidneys, bu now modern science proves that nearly all constitutional diseases have their begin ning in kidney trouble.

Special correspondence of The Pncenlx.l When the first white men cam to the southern shore of Lake Superior, which has since become famous as the copper pro ducing centre of the world, they found the native Indians possessed of large boulders of mass copper which they held sacred and worshipped as a strong ana dangerous juan itou that was possessed of a bad temper, consequently worthy of all respect, but not a desirable tnend as close range. 11 was 100 years later, after the British bad gained nossession of all the territory formerly claimed by the French king, that a com pany was formed in London to wore tne copper mines south of Lake Superior. This effort proved abortive, owing to the un expected outlay attending the operations and the war with the American colonies. Verv little progress was made in the in vestigation of the copper mines of this country until 1840, when Dr. Houghton of Detroit, who subsequently became identi fied with the development of the upper pen insula, chopped several pieces of copper from the great copper boulder in Ontana gon, while traveling through that county with the scnooicratt expeaiti n. Within the following two years much knowledge was obtained through the ob servations of scientific men who were sent to Ontanagon county to study the geologi cal conditions, and especially the possible copper indications, then confined to mass copper found on the surface. This party of observation made their report to Presi dent Tvler in 1842. The next step made was to get possession of the 00,000 square miles of land, embracing the whole upper peninsula of Michigan and the northern part of Wisconsin, belonging to the (Jhip pewa tribe of Indians. This typical piece of diplomacy with the Indians was accom plished by Uavid Mensbaw, a uoston man, then secretary of war, with the aid of a few barrels of New England rum, a legal tender in treaty transactions, and reserva tions of land further west which the gov ernment did not own, also presents of brass neck chains and beads, with promises of future remuneration which were not in tended to be redeemed. Mr. Henshaw was an enthusiast in the belief of the mineral wealth of the lands obtained from the Chippewos, and immediately induced his Boston friends to get possession of such townships as showed a mineral indication, meanwhile reserving a liberal slice of the pork" for himself. Other investigations were made, and specimens of mass copper were circulated in all the financial centres, Boston being tne most conspicuous. V isions of sudden wealth became the dream of that element of the people who are ever watching and waiting tor something miraculous to turn up." From the explorations of the next few years nothing tangible resulted in lo cating and forming companies until 1845, wnen the era ol wild cat ' speculation was inaugurated which ended in a general collapse in I860, as briefly noticed in my last letter in discussing the folly of whole communities launching their small capital on the turgid sea of copper stock invest ments. The writer has no motive to un derrate or discourage the development of the copper industry of Michigan, neither does he assume that all copper investments are based on deceptive and fraudulent rep resentation. I trust mv contention is un derstood with this explanation. The cop per found in the mines of Michigan is known as mass,conglomerate and amaygad loid formation, the metal being pure in these conditions. The sulphurets and car bonates occur only near the surface where the elements have acted on the metal for ages, producing oxidation. The metal is called mass copper when it is found in con creted quantities, like boulders or large stones. The largest specimen of mass or native copper ever found was obtained from the Minnesota mine in Ontanagon county in Hd p Nature Babies and children need proper food, rarely ever medi- cine.

The services of 40 men were required six months to cut it fine enough to be hoisted to the surface and transported East. When ycu go to Washington, D. O., of course you will visit the Smithsonian Institution, where you may see a pebble of copper from Ontanagon weighing 4000 pounds. Conglomerate, in mineralogy, means several substances held together by agglu tination. For example; Fill a kettle with pebbles and small pieces of lime and slate or other hard substances, then pour into the kettle melted copper until the interstices between the minerals are nneu witn tno liquid copper, and you have conglomerate as the term is used in mining. I have seen scraggy specimen of copper weighing more than oil pounds, as it came up the shaft at the Calumet d Ilecla mine, showing by the fimbriated edges how it enclosed small pebbles or other hard sub stances before removal from the mine. When copper is found in small beads (amygdules) distributed through the basal- . , i . 1. : -1 ; .1. L1C, pUrUUS 1UVU, Ul 1U bull! nucBW ii vuo crevices, it is called amygdaloid formation, and these conditions obtain in nearly all the mines now being exploited in Houghton country. The total amount of copper produced oy an the Michigan mines from 1848 to 18C0 was 27,830 n.t tons; and when we remember there were 110 chartered companies in op eration 1G years, one cannot wonder at the immense losses sustained by the stock holders. In the vear of 1805 an eccentric charac ter by the name of William Itoyal kept a road house" about half way between Houghton and Eagle River, his log shanty standing on nearly the same land where the Calumet hotel is now located. This man served "refreshments for man and beast," though a beast would probably not partake of the variety served to his human customers. Among his other possessions was a small drove of hogs that were allow ed to forage in the woods for such nutri ment as they might find on or below the surface of the ground. Not having seen bis pigs for several days be started out to locate them and found them burrowed in a heap of fallen leaves under the shel ter of a peculiar mass of reddish rock, mottled with green spots. Telling his boon companions of his find they all concluded the first thing to do was to load up on the landlord's whiskey, but before they had gotten over the acute excitement of the celebration an interested party.having over heard the cause of the hilarity, proceeded to file a claim to all the lands within a mile of the exuberant William and his sleeping pigs. ibis is the historv of the discovery of the great Calumet & Hecla copper mine. Moral: When you have the opportunity to control the world with a specialty, keep sober. The Calumet & and Hecla mining company stands preeminently at the head of the copper mining industry of the world. mere are several factors in the premises that conspire to produce this astonishing result. First. Good management on the part of the executive and scientific departments of the company, and readiness to adopt such modes of operation as tend to decrease the cost of mining. second. This company has control of nearly all of the conglomerate formation that is now known on the mineral range of Keweenaw. Third. The richness of the lode in com parison with all others now under develop ment. The comparison is approximately as follows: Calumet & Hecla pure copper 3 03 per cent Tamarack " " 1 61 " " Qulncy " " 1.50 " " Osceola " " 1.S9 " " These include nearly all the dividend paying mines, and it will be seen that Calumet & Hecla get nearly double the amount of metal from a ton of stamped rocic tbat is obtained by their competitive neighbors. Total production of copper 1893, World, 4S1.809 Iocs. Total production of copiwr 1898, United States, '.31,1.3 tons. Total production of copper 1698, Michigan, 70,830 ions. Total production of copper 1S98, Calumet, 45,000 tons. The United States produces 58 per cent of vroi Id's copper. Michigan produces 27 per cent of United States copper. Calumet produces GO per cent of Michigan copper. I do not propose to tire the reader with a mass of statistics of the production of the different mines, as I have been more solicitous to give the profits of the industry in the letters devoted to copper than the gross production, for the latter is not always a true index of the value of the mine. There are nearlv 100.000 people in the three counties under discussion who are in directly supported by the copper industry of northern Michigan. There are more tnan 4U companies in these counties. Ontanagon, Houghton and Keweenaw, that pay all the money they receive from the sales of copper, for salaries and incidentals. To state this matter simply and concisely, the stockholders of nearly $80,000,000 Btock, par value, support one-third of the popula tion, with no apparent indication of ever receiving one dollar for then- share of the amusement, and when the price of copper tans to l- cents per pound Calumet & Hecla, Tamarack, Ouincv and Osceola will have the field to themselves, as they practi cally do have at present. o. 11. s.

Company with 93(50,000 Capital Has Hat! an Expert from Klmturiy Enm. hie Tract on Which Operations Will lie Begun Rtoa, It is very possible that when spring opens Sullivan county may experience a mining boom of considerable size. Mining parties are trying to keep matters secret, but the fact has leaked out that a rich beryl-emerald diamond field has been found on a mica and garnet tract in the edge of Springfield, and about two miles and a half from the Boston & Maine depot in Grafton. t -. n .l. o..iti i ...... ir:.. ; iasb inn iuh ouiiirau tuuuvjr uii:a unit ing company was incorporated and ny many it was supposed that it was by people interested In working the mica field between Claretnont and Newport. It was capitalized at $250,000. Now it is discovered that this company owns the field in Springfield, and is quietly making preparations lor working it. James F. Cavanaugh of 105 Beverly street, Boston, is the vice president. An expert from the diamond mines of Kimberly, South Africa, explored the tract last fall and pointed out its richness. But before that its value was known to a few, for Im. U Wilson of lilt Tremont street, Boston, a mineralocical expert and special ist, had examined it and made deposition to the fact that he had discovered in the tract the very precious stone known as berly- emerald, or aqua-marine. Several fine anua-marines from this field have already found their way to market, and have been cut and set for their lucky owners. To give some idea of the value of the find, the most perfectly cut of these beryl-emerald stones are worth from $5 to $10 a diamond karat, or $7200 a pound. Ueryl has long been found in this county. In Acworth is Beryl mountain which has yielded some of the finest specimens now shown in collections. At one time an or ganized effort was made to work the deposit, but for many years nothing has been done. Mica crops out freely throuchout the sec tion, and is worked with profit in towns below the county s southern edge, ihe ledges in Claremont are believed to be well worth working, and only await the time when capital shall become sufficiently inter ested. The field in Springfield is of special interest from the peculiar value of the find, and may yet prove the most valuable of all Claremont Advocate. Almost a Truedy at Kttnt.

Mr. Taintor's wife was a daughter of the late Gen. James Wilson, a noted campaign ora tor anu congresiman wno was a resident of Keene. Taintor was arrested for embez zlement of $250,000 from the Pacific bank in New York city of which he was cashier. Speculation caused his downfall but there were extenuating circumstances in the case and he had the sympathy of many people in Keene, which was his native place. lilrl Uurneit to Ilrnlh. Hazel, 8, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Henry D. Sullivan of 02 Gilaum street, Keene, was fatally burned at her home Saturday forenoon. The child had been left in the house alone in charge of younger cmiuren, anu was nxing tne wood tire in an old and rickety stove when her light cotton goods dress caught fire, and before help could come she was frightfully burned. The victim ran screaming to the door and the neighbors ran to her rescue, pulling off the burning clothing, instead of wrapping ner in some heavy woolen article. Tho sufferer was removed as soon as possible in the ambulance to Elliot city hospital where she died in the afternoon. A Charlestown correspondent writes that the Diamond Match compauy has lease 1 the tract of land owned by the electric railroad company on the east side of the track near the premises of Mr. Eaton on the Springfield road. They will erect a plant for preparing the blocks which at a late stage of the manufacture are sawed into the properly shaped matches of commerce. The match company has bought several large tracts of timber lands in Cbarlestown and vicinity. The golden wedding anniversary of Mr, and Mrs. Darling S. Swan of Winchester was celebrated by a genuine surprise party on Wednesday evening, when 50 friends called upon them unceremoniously. Short speeches were made by Granville Wardwell and Rev. O. F. Roper, with a response by Mr. Swan. Mrs. Levi Saben recited some verses, and a letter was read from Obadiah Sprague of West Swanzey, a brother of Mrs. Swan, who was unable to be present. There were many gifts of gold, silver and other articles of value. Refreshments were served, and the occasion was all the more enjoyable for being informal. D. S. Swan and Angelina Sprague were married in Richmond, N. II.. Jan. 3, 1850, by Rev. T. J. Humphrey. They have been residents of Winchester for 45 years.
