Ihb Oalifornians are angling for South. African capital to aid them m develop- ing their gold MINING BOOMS, mines, and look for a great revival m mining. The San Francisco Chronicle, however, has a fear that the promoters of the flotation of companies on the African and English markets may make a very common mistake. It aays — €C There is but one thing which can stand m the way of the develop ment of these properties, and it is a disposition on the part of finders to 'cinch' buyera. Many a promis- ing district, has not yielded a pound of gold m years bf cause the locators had no money for development would not soil for a reasonable price. Every man wanted a million or nothing, and, as a general thing, he got nothing. There is no surer way to neutralise a goldmine than to put a fancy price on it, and this fact, m view of the approaoh of South African capital, needs to be duly heeded. p It is within the power of the claim- owners to have a boom or a boomerang, and as true as gospel if they choose tbe latter they will get the worst of it."

Read also the following interesting testimony of a prominent athlete : 627 Boubke St., Surry Hi^ls, Sydney, New ; SoutS" "Wai.es, June 21, 1895. ••After being a victim to Typhoid, Brain, and Rheumatic fevers, m 1892, my SSBtem was left m a terrible condition. Besides being very weak, I had numerous abscesses on the lower part of my back and spine, from which a great number of pieces of bone were taken. As fast as an ahscess would appear and was lanced I another would form. I was treated at two different hospitals without success. The surgeons m attendance informed me that I was suffering from blood poison. The abscesses continued to appear, and I was never without pain, till six months ago I was induced to try Ayer's Sarsaparilla. When I had taken the first bottle I found an improvement, and after finishing twelve bottles to-day I feel as well as ever I did m my life; the abscesses have ceased to come, the old ones are all healed, and my health is splendid. Before'l used the Sarsaparilla I weighed 154 lhs., and now, after using a dozen bottles, my weight is 200 lhs., which is a sure sign that I have been taking the Champion Blood-Purifier of the world."— George W.
