W. 0. Thomas and partner have struck it rich a 6hort distance up the Applegate from Palmer. It is a quartz ledge of free milling gold ore and they have already taken out two hundred dollars. The mine is a bonanza and the find is the reiult of careful prospecting. Luther Leslie Williams and Geo. Craiger are laboring in the Dew mine, consequently the pan at the evening's clean-up looks very "yaller." Geo. contemplates a trip to Montana via. Baker City.

The dust was handed out "immediately if not sooner." The frightened Celestials then locked and barred their door ari l never as much as peeped out for "clee" days and nights; by that time the robbers' trail was exceed ingly cold.

Medford Mail: As I prom ised I would let you know the pro gress made on the wagou read from Leeds to Prospect, now being con structed. Provisions and tools ar rived all right and work under sup vision ' of F. M. Manning is being pushed with all , speed. We were compelled to abandon twenty rods of grade made before the final sur vey was made, on account of mak ing the grade too 'steep. The final survey is 196 rods long and a grade twenty-two inches to the rod which is very easy. We have seven men at work and make one and one-half rods per man each day, but think this is more than we will average. We have twenty rods completed. The grade is eight feet wide, on solid ground, beside the waste, making the entire road wide almost enough for two teams to pass any where. The grade is even. from top to bottom and no turns that two wagons and twelve mules cannot make with ease. Will report later on, . ' Lost Creek Observer.

A Thankful Girl. From the Examiner, Hnn Francisco. Cat. XIis Lottie Donell lives with her parents at ,V2 Natoma Street, San Francisco. She is a young lady nineteen years of age, and of prepossessing appearance. Ever since she was ten rears old Mixs Donell has been a sufferer from a rheumatic affection of the wnst, and since she was thirteen years of age she has been subject to various" female weaknesses which have kept her phrrical vitalitv at a very low stage. Thus, as she says, she has been a victim of disease ever since she can remember. When she was a little girl at school she was always placed at a disadvantage with her Dlavnuies count of her frailty of body and timidity of manner. She conld never join in any of the more Boisterous games, although ghe always longed to do so. But the embarrassing conditions of Kisa Donell's life have all been eliminated with in the past vear. and the rhann i rhnilw due to the effective work of Dr. Williams' nnK nils. It must be remembered " n!H If;.. Donell in telling of the great relief that Dr. ' W illiams' Pills had aflorded her. that at the time I began taking the pills I had been for yearsa continued invalid. Mv wrist was swollen out of all proportion by the chronic rheumatism that had long since settled in it. The female complaints from which I bad so long suffered had wasted my body away until I was tat a mere shadow of mv former elf and I had really come to think that the Pnghtness and happiness of life waa not " meant for me. I had noi the energy to per form even the most simnle of mv bnnKnlff do ties. and. in a word I was eompleteiv 'run down.1 I began to take Dr. Williams' Pills while I was in this condition and before I had taken half a box of them I realized that they were doing me good. I began to feel lively again and to lose the lax feeling in my limbs. I felt so haDDV over the momen. tary relief that bad been afforded me that I resolved to continue taking the pills. After taking several more boxes I was more than convinced of the high merits of the pills, for I was then wholly relieved from the rheu matic pains in my wrist and I had so far re gained my vitality of body that I really believed I had never experienced the ener vating effects of those wasting diseases which are so peculiar to women. It is a very great pleasure to me to be able to tell mv young lady friends of the relief that has oeen af forded me by Dr. Williams' Pills and I will sorely continue to recommend their nse to all who are afflicted with the complaints from which I suffered." Pink Pills are sold by all dealers, or will be sent post paid on receipt of price, 50 cents a box or six boxes for $2.50 (ihev are never .-?- .lk or ,y the 100). bv addressing Dr. Medicine Co., ScLenecndy, s.
