-The Biggest Thing Yet.
Dr. Oglesby and Bonny Milliorn
proprietors oi tne Monarch mine in
Crook county, have undoubtedly the
biggest mining proposition in Oregon
They have just returned from there,
and the description Dr. Ogles by gives
of it is that it is a perfect mountain of
ore, enough to supply all the quartz
mills in the United States for half a
century. It is located on Crooked
river, 15 miles above Prineville, and
instead oi being a ledge is a mountain
half a mile in length and 1500 feet
high. The returns from five assays of
the rock average $3.98 free gold to the
ton, which is considered good in view
of the quantity of rock, tbe ease with
which it caa be mined and the good
laciiities offered lor milling. Messrs
Ogleaby and Milliorn have located a
large body of the ground, and also
secured a water right which gives
them the use tof all of Crooked river,
mat can oe cameo in Buch a manner
as to give a fall of 30 feet. This will
supply enough power to drive 200
stamps, and will be one of the cheapest
methods known for operating a quartz
mm.
Hla Ufe Wsa Saved.
Mr. J. E. Lilly, a prominent citizen
of Hannibal, Mo., lately had a wonder
ful deliverance from a frightful death
In telling it he says: I was taken with
typhoid fever, that ran into pneumonia.
My lungs became hardened. "I was so
weak I couldn't even sit up in bed.
.Nothing helped me. I expected to
soon die of consumption, when I heard
of Dr. 'King's New. Discovery. One
bottle gave me great relief. I con
tinued to use it, and now am well and
strong. I san't say too much in its
praise." This marvelous medicine is
the surest and quickest cure in the
world for all Throat and Lung Trouble.
Regular sizes 50 cents and $1.00.

has spent several seasons in the fossil

with tbe best deposits, and is better
equipped to pilot a party of fossil
hunters than any other man in Ore
gon.
SOME PUZZLING QUESTIONS.
"Perplexity" Indulges
In
Bit of
Sarcasm.
Editor times-Mocntainbeb.
I notice in The Times-Mountaineer
of the 15th inst. the following ques
tions which were published as having
oeen taken from the list of questions
prepared by the state school board of
education for the benefit of applicants
for teachers' certificates at the recent
teachers' examination.
"Ia it better to plant potatoes in the
dark or the light of the moon? Why?"
"Shingles are said to curl up, and
rail fences are said to sink when
laid a certain time of the moon.
Which ia it? Why ia it?"
I was in hopes that some of our
bright children would answer this
very pertinent, yet perplexing ques
tion, to the entire satisfaction of all
and thus save many of this generation
and generations to come, the tortures
of unbalanced minds or total imbecili
ty. It is not my purpose to criticise
the actions of this honorable body of
highly educated and intelligent gen
tlemen, nor shall I attempt to solve
their "spud-moon" problem and lose
my mind as a reward. Several of my
poor fore fathers went crazy on this
very same subject. My object of
writing is to offer some other ques
tions which I hope the state board of
education will consider without
prejudice and give them a prominent
place in their categorical list. If they
will adopt these questions, which ap
pear below, andtbey are satisfactorily
answered, I shall feel that my life has
not been a failure and the world is
better off for my having lived in in
"First To see the new moon first,
at your back, by looking over one of
your shoulders will bring bad luck.
Which ia it? Why ia it?"
"Second A ring set with an opal,
when worn by persons of a certain
temperament, will bring all kinds of
bad luck, to the wearer. Name the
temperament? Why is this so?"
"Third A certain foot of the rabbit,
when worn about tbe person, will
bring good luck. Any other foot of
the same rabit or any other rabbit
will invite imps, devils, snakes and
nightmare. Which is the good luck
foot? Which is the bad luck foot or
feet as the case may be? Why is it?"
The foregoing questions are fully as
important as the "spud' question, and
equally as perplexing. Now if these
questions, together with the "spud
moon" question, are not promptly
answered by applicants or others, it is
to be hoped that the great intellectual
gentlemen who compose the state
school board will open wide tbe globu
lar part of their anatomy, and pour
forth the knowledge that will benefit
mankind forever and ever more.
Perplexity.
THE SONS OF HERMAN.
They Bad Charge of The Dalles Tester-
day, i
Some 700 people from Portland in
vaded The Dalles Sunday, having
come up on tbe excursion given by
the Sons of Herman. The train of 12
coaches and a caboose, in charge of
conductor liouae, arrived here at a
few minutes after 12 o'clock. It was
received by the local committee of
Germana, who had secured the services
of the D. C. & A. C. concert band and
when the train pulled in" the guests
were greeted with sweet strains of
music. The local committee took
charge of tbe people as they got off
the train and conducted them to the
Baldwin opera house, where their
wraps, lunch baskets, etc., were cared
for, while the visitors dispersed
through the town, where ever their
fancy led them.
During the afternoon, after they had
tired of tramping about town, music
was furnished at the Baldwin, and
dancing was indulged in for some
time, both by visitors and residents.
The Portlanders were loud in their
praise of the treatment they received
t the hands of the German residents
of the city, whose guests they were,
and also of Dalles climate. A more
perfect day could not have been se
lected for outdoor sight seeing, the
sky being clear, tbe temperature just
right and no wind blowing. All ex
pressed themselves as having spent a
most delightful day, and said they
were so well pleased that at some
future time they will again visit the
city. The excursion left here at 6
o'clock in the evening and arrived at
Portland shortly after 9, .without an
accident or an incident to mar the
pleasure of the occasion.
Cost of Kalslng Wool.
A great many people imagine that
the expense of running a band of sheep
is very slight, and on paper they, are
able to figure out immense profits.
This probably accounts for so many
inexperienced men who go into the
sheep business making a failure of it
and finding . themselves hopelessly
bankrupt at the end of a few years.
One of the successful sheep raisers of
the county, while iu conversation with
the Times-Mountaineer reporter the
other day, when asked what the aver
age expense of running sheep in this
locality was, stated that under the
most favorable conditions it would he
75 cents a year a head; but the ordi
nary expenses of running sneep in this
county, tbat is herding, feeding, doc
toring, taxes and incidental costs, is
about one dollar per head, though if
poorly managed tbe expenses some
times run to $1.50. . .-
To illustrate tbe cost of running.a
sheep ranch this gentleman, who has
about 10,000 head, said since last No
vember he had used on his ranch 3,500
pounds of beef, d,600 pounrs of pork
and bacon and some 40 or 50 head of
sheep, making his meat bill something
like $6UU for tbe past six months
Other provisions were consumed in
like proportion, so the cost of feeding
the people on his ranch is something
like $12o a month. In addition to
living expenses are wages to hired
help, taxes, shearing and interest on
bis investment which taken all togeth
er amounts to more than $6o0 a month,'
or above 75 cents a head for the 10,000
sheep he runs.

Editor Times-Mountaineeb.
Perhaps a few words from this part
of Oregon will interest your many
readers. We left The Dalles April
4th for Southern Oregon, 20 miles
south of Roseburg. At the latter
point we met I. J. Norman, an old
Dalles citizen. , We dined with bis
family, also met Will Harper who is
ust recovering from an accident. He
was thrown from a stage and his head
fractured badly.
The writer came here to assist W,
V. Boltz, late paBtor of 'The Dalles
Christian church, in some meetings.
He is having fine success in his work
having added to tbe eburenw at the
points where he has held meetings 109.
I am conducting the music for bim.
Elder Boltz and wife are grand peo
ple, and are fine associates. We three
are stopping for a few days in the beau
tiful Looking Glass valley in Douglas
county.
Crops are very backward this spring;
fruit is injured greatly by late frosts
and farmers are somewhat discour
aged. Prosperity has not hit this country
very hard so far. While this part of
the state looks beautiful I prefer the
Eastern Oregon country aa I think it
the beat place to live in .
A. O. McCauley.

The woman who is lovely in face,
form and temper will always have
friends, but one who would be attrac
tive must keep her health. If she is
weak, sickly and all run down, she will
be nervous and irritable. If she has
constipation or kidney trouble, her
impure blood will cause pimples,
blotches, skin eruptions and a wretch
ed complexion. Electric Bitters is
the best medicine in the world to
regulate stomach, liver and kidneys
and to purify the blood. It gives
strong hervea, bright ,eyea, smooth,
velvety skin, rich complexion. It
will make a good-looking, charming
woman of a run down invalid. Only
