JUDGE NELSON'S
DECISION.
Speaking of patent medicines, the
Judge says: "I wish to deal fairly and
honorably with all, and when I 6nd an
article that will do what it is recom
mended to do, I am not ashamed to say
to. I am acquainted with Dr. Vander
pool (having been treated by him for
cancer), and have UEed his blood medi
cine, known as the S. B. Headache and
Liver Cure, and while I am 75 years old,
and have used many pills and other
remedies for the' blood, liver and kid
, neya, I must say that for a kidney tonic
" in Brights disease, and as an alterative
for the blood, or to correct the action of
"the stomach and bowels, it is a very su
perior remedv, and beats anVftilnsrvJ
ever tried. J. B. Neuson, '"-' ;

ITHE OLD PROSPECTOR
His Skeleton Found in: r Selected
Shaft In. Okanogan. - - :
HIS BODY SURROUNDED BY GOLD.
An Interesting Sketch of .at) Aban
doned Quartz Mining Claim, v
OOID IN IiEMAEKABLE KICIINESS.
.-j Nothing to Indicate the Alan's Identity.
No 'ne Left to Remember' the
: ... . ' Incidents.
i Spokane, Sept. 12. J. S. King, a
well-known prospector and miner from
Okanogan county, who arrived in this
city Saturday, tells an interesting story
of an abandoned mining claim which he
is about to develop. ' To a Review inter
viewer Mr. King said: "-"The shaft, or
prospect hole, as I found it, is about 60
feet deep and it has been there longer
than any prospector can remember. It
was there when miners first went into
that country and . began gopher-holing
the hills. Nobody examined it because
it was considered a worthless hole which
had been abandoned by the man who
located it. A few days ago I happened
to pass the old shaft, and curiosity
prompted me to look into it. After ex
amining rock lying near the mouth of
the bole I came to the conclusion -that
perhaps it would pay to investigate it
closer. Under a pile of ' rubbish, which
I found was the remnants of an old
shack, there were chunks of quartz that
showed free gold of remarkable richness.
Evidently the. quart bad been.' hidden
away' from the prying gaze of men in
order to prevent discovery of the rich
ness of the vein.. -"My
curiosity being thoroughly ar
roused by what I saw,v I decidedto go
into the shaft, and gee. just .what eort of
a lead there was. ;, In. br,dertordQ. this I
had. to secure a rope and a piece of : tini
ber to.la"y,.accros8, the opening, the wind
lnfs.wbich.had .formerly been -osed by
the unknown" being .almost decayed by
rot.,, Well,; down, into the. hole ,1 .went,
and. what do. you suppose . I' found ? A
human. akeietonrfying In, a half reclin
ipg.paiiyQfl-agnet, he,wall... .Near by
was a pick, a shovel wiJtbbua handle, a
drill and l)amnier- T hp. ,mmer'8 cloth
ing was fairly. well- preserved and clung
to the bones as if the body had ait some
time been submerged by water. It is
my opinion that the dead man had been
in the old shaft many years.. There was
nothing to indicate the man's identity,
nor do any of the old timers up there
know anything about him. The old
shaft has been there as long as anyone
can remember and it has never been ex
amined by anyone, as it has always been
looked upon as a worthless prospect.
"I am of a different opinion, though,'!
pursued . Mr. King, as he -produced .
piece of quartz weighing ..' abdut , four
ounces. "This is a fair --specimen .of a
three foot vein of quartz which looks to
be permanent in .- the . old , abandoned
mine. I don't mean to say that the en
tire vein shows free gold jUBt like this,
but there is a lot of it just as good and
will run away up into the- thousands to
the ton:' I have filed A claim on the old
hole and shall begin work there at once.
I might prospect for years and never
find anything so rich . Mr. King jro
popes to give the skeleton of the old pros
pector christian burial, and if be . can
find the relatives of the dead man would
feel disposed to give them . an interest
in tne striae. . . ... . . -. . ,
Want mu Available Market.
The necessity for an eastern market
for the excellent fiuits raised in the
vicinity of Lewiston ia already beginning
to be felt. The Teller says the local
market is now suffering from an over
supply. ' Yet the fruit industry is only
inita infancy.. .Young orchards - are
coming in yearly and the increased pro
ducts will .soon be a drug on the market.
it nas been estimated ' tnat tnere are
fully 10,000 acres of fruit lands on the
Snake, and Clearwater rivers and 'only
1,000 acres of this available land to how
in cultivation. An outside market is
then a necessity to the development of
the fruit landa. v The. questions of mar
ket and transportation are the ones yet
to be solved,.. A Birth, treek,. fanner ,-is
at present cutting his third crop of alfal
fa bay from a fine piece of bottom land.
The three crops will average about" five
tons to the acre. . The; aHalf ia. rown

- Last year the cannerymen of. Oregon
paid into the hands of the eecretarv
etato $2,500 as the fish tax imposed by
an act of the last' legislature, this! sum
being a fund for the protection .and pro-,
motion of :the fishing, industry. The
eecietary of . . state turned the money
over to the state treasurer where it must
remain until released by appropriation.
This year none of the cannerymen have.
paid a cent and they. don't intend to
It is reported that Barveyors erenow
in the Bine mountains of the John Day
river making a preliminary survey - for "
the extension of the Washington and
Columbia river railroad as the Hunt
system. is to be called -through Grant
county, Camay' prairie, southern Oregon
and California. - Such a route would
bring the. road . via Goose lake, Hot
springs valley Fall river valley' to the
head ;.of the Sacramento . valley.. It
would throw open to market millions of
dollars worth of timber, range,' agricul
tural and mineral lands, and develop an
extensive and rich territory that is now
isolated.' ' -
) Except on the reservation, where all
the threshing outfit seem - to have first
congregated, harvesting is very, back
ward this season in ..Umatilla .county.
In most instances " the straw . is. very
heavy, and ..threshing necessarily slow.
Machines are in : demand, and owners
are; enabled to ask their own price for
the: work. There is no established
price, the difference in quality and the
expense of threshing being so great that
the figures must vary, -.
Attorney - General Chamberlain ' has
prepared the complaints and suits have
been ', commenced .. against Linn and
Multnomah counties to enfore the pay
ment of the balance of state taxes due
according to the levy of 1891, as equal
ized by the state board of equalization
and ,. finally. . settled .. by . the supreme
court. 'In Multnomah county the bal
ance is $68,963. S J and in .Linn county it
is $3,609.12. Of the thirty-one counties
twentyrtwo still, owe balances jiggregat
ing $162,419.19. Suits will be brought
against other of these counties shortly .
' Judge' Moreiand has cited an exam
pie of needless expense to Multnomah.
In the case of David. Benfield, a 14-year-
old boy who .was arrested at Rooster
rock for killing a pheasant, and after
wards discharged, the expense to the
county was $71.70. The justices' courts
for Portland :-cost the coonty nearly
$.12,000. - Last month the Albina court
cost $700.

broke out in the snowsheds at Summit
last night. Tbe Summit fire train,
while fighting the flames, became en
veloped in flames and had to be aban- '
doned. The engine and water cars were
burned up. The - Blue canyon water ;:
train was rushed to the front, and while :
battling ; with the flames, a new fire :
started west of tfie train, and for a time .
there was danger that, this train would .
burn.. . The, fires , were started at. four
different points, evidently by an incen
diary, who was traveling west Vom
Summit. . A water train from Rocklin
was sent up early this morning. The
flames are now under control, but noth
ing can be done toward laying a new
track until the .fice dies out and the .
rails cool, as no water can be thrown on
the burning ties and timbers. : The'

The company has been replacing

my little boy down with cholera morbus,
my wite scared, not knowing what to do.
I went-etraightway-and got a 25 cent
bottle of Chamberlain's. Colic, Cholera
and Diarrhoea Remedy, and gave it ac
cording to directions. You never saw
such a change in a child. Hie limbs and
body were cold. I rubbed his limbs and
body with my hands, and after . I . had
given him the second dose ho. went to
sleep, and, as my wife, says, "from- a
