Daw have taken about $850 from their quartz mine so far, and contemplate re suming work again soon. Dave Law has made a deal with Portland parties for his quartz claims, near French gulch receiving 11000 and a large amount of stock. Messrs. Morris, ; Smith & Phil lips, of Palmer creek, have just be gun their clean-up, and anticipate great results. Tney have work off the largest piece of ground ever worked on the creek 111 a single season. Pat Ives, of Squaw creek, will de velop a quartz ledge on Sterling. The ledge is a good one and was worked by Mr. Ives during the 50s, and at that time sold to other par ties. Until the present time Ives had been unable to get control of the property. A rumor is in circulation that C W. Kahler, of Jacksonville, is contemplating the purchase of all the Manuel Silvas ground lyintr west of the Applegate river for min ing purposes This ground would certainly be a valuable addition to Mr. kahlers already valuable property. William Knox hna th i isitinn of superintendent of th Squaw f.iilr A fnmnunv'a v-,;..u TVirtilutwt Bar and is rushing the mine for all it is worth. The company will probably move their extensive plunt : to the ADulenate at an arJv tlate. which will necessitate tho coniule-i Hon of over eleven miles ot ditch. Messrs. Coul & Wade have re cently discharged thirty men, but your correspondent is informed that they will soon again enlarge their force. The reason for laying off the men is that the ditch crew got far enough ahead with their work and had to wait for Hume lumber, about COO feet of which is at present cut and in the mill yard.

Itcforc the war many Creoles, working in the gold mines there, lost some of their toes, and sometimes half the foot, in consequence of wounds inflicted by thetiny pointsof such poisonous grass seeds. If one ouly wished to be happy, this could be easily accomplished; but we wish to be happier than other people, and this is always difficult, for we be lieve others to be happier than they are. Montesquieu. Rheumatism Is a blood disease and only a blood reme dy can cure it. So many people make the mistake of taking remedies which at1 best are only tonics and cannot possi bly reach their trouble. Mr. Asa Smith, Greencastle, Indiana, says: "For years I have suffered with Sciatic Rheuma tism, which the best physicians were un able to relieve. I took many patent medicines but they did not seem to reach trouble. I gradually grew worse until I was un able to take my food or handle myself in any way; I was abso lutely helpless. Three bottles of S.S.S. re lieved me so that I was soon able to move my right arm; before long I could walk across the room, and when I had finished one dozen bottles was cured completely and am as well as ever. I now weigh 170." A Real Blood Remedy S.S.S. cures Scrofula, Cancer, Eczema, and any form of blood troubles. If you have a blood disease, take a blood medi cine S.S.S. (guatanieed purely vegeia table) is exclusively for the blood and is recommended for nothing else. It forces out the poison matter permanent ly, we will send to anyone our Taluable books.

"Eloquence is speaking out out of the abundance of the heart, the only source from which truth can flow in a passionate, persuasive torrent." This remark of Julius Hare is illustrated by a story told of the eloquent Methodist bishop, the late Dr. Simpson, in the Youth "s Companion: Bishop Simpson preached some years agro in the Memorial hall. London. For half an hour he spoke quietly, without pest ienlat ion or uplifting of his voice; then. pi?!iirin;r the Sort of '.!od bearinjf our sins in Hi ; own body o;i the tree, lie stooped, as if laden ".villi ;iu haineas urable burden, and. rising to his full hcijrht, he seemed to t hrow it from him, cryinjr: "How far?

The whole assembly, as if moved by an irresistible impulse; rose, remained standing' for a second or two, then sank back into their seats.
