J. E. Kirk and son Tom made so
other of their clean ops at the Lucky
Bar, oo Sardine creek, securing a
gold brick weighing over 80 ounces,
or valuing over $600, says the Gold
Hill News. This was an exception
ally good ran, being the returns from
only 18 tons of ore. They have been
mooing in an exceedingly rich streak
of ore for the past two weeks and will
soon be ready for another mill ran
that will probably go even better than
this one. These genttlemeo make
a clean-up of this kind a boot every
six weeks and are demonstrating that
onr mines can be made to pay good
returns if handled by men woo are
practioal and economical miners.
Will L. Ireland was at Jacksonville,
the first of the week making arrange
ments for having some assessment
work done 6a a promising mining
claim which he owns on Forest Creek
in that rag ion. He also visited at
Medford, on bis retnrn trip.
While in Grants Pass, Monday, in
company with his step-brother,
Grant Patton, the Placer mining man
had a rather onpleasant experience.
He was doing some trading at the
Hair-Riddle Hardware Co's store and
fell over in a fainting spell. Dr. J.
C. Smith happened to be near at hand
and was called to to treat the in
sensible man. Mr. Patton bad no
less than three of these spells and tbe
last one was very hard. The trouble
was pronounced by Dr. Smith to be
due to stomach troubles. He was so
improved as to be able to return to
Plaoer, Tuesday.
Notice of locations of quarts min
ing claims have been filed of record In
the County Clerk's office as follows:
"Cobalt No. 4" by Henry L. Qolvin ;
"Daisy," at head of Brass Nail
Gulch, and adjoining "Little Daisy."
by R. G. Smith; "Colorado," at
head of Brass Nail Galoh and adjoin

W. Capp et al, hare "located the
"White Cedar" placer claim, io the
Rowell Creek unorganized mining
district. Lsie Grimes and others
have filed location for "The Miller
Bar Ditch," tapping the waters of
Rock Creek.
Chester and Tyler Irwin 'arrived
from Idaho this week to visit with
relatives and old time friends in this
city. They nsed to re'ide here but
fot the past seven years have been
extensively engaged in mining in
Idaho, the famous "Salmon River"
camp. Cheater is superintendent and
Trier treasurer of tbe ''Goodeuongh"
mines, which are located in the Mar
shall diatrict. Tbe ote is quite good,
having af oar foot vein which aver
ages $40 assay, to tbe ton in tine
gold. They had a few choice sam
ples of the ore, which they showed
the Courier man and they were good
to look upon, as they were supposed
to make all of $o0,000 to the tou.
These mining men may decide to
remain here permanently, for they
firmly believe that the mining indus
try in this region is going to come
right to the front and besides they
want to get away from the bad.win
ter up in the Idaho country, where
the snow last year was 22 feet deep
on the summit of the mountains aud
all of four feet at the mines.
R. S. Moore, who baa leaned the
"Baby Mine," on Jumpoff-Jo, was
in Grants Pas and he stated that
he now has a small crew of men at
work on this promising property,
which is owned by Boise end Sacra
mento paries aud as the suBson ad
vaucea will put on more. This mine
now has a five stamp mill and give
promise cf making a good showing
this season.
J. H. Mills and his step-brstbr,
Giant Patton, two of Placer's pro
gressive mining men were transacting
bosioeas at the county seat this week
These gentlemen, in addition to
owning a very promising mine out in
the Plaoer country, have also secured
two fine ranches and are to be coo
gratolat"! upon having ao many
things coming their way.
A. S. Dowoiog, Harvey Book and
others have sold their interests in the
Oregon Bells mine, located in Forest
Creek diatrict. to G. W. Trootmine
and his associates. The sheriff re
cently faoiliated the freeze-out game
that is being played there, and it is
expected that this mine, which was a
consistent prodooer, will be operated
again as soon as the undesirable stock
holders have been thoroughly dis
possessed.
The Jacksonville Post says that
John Tremberth, tbs mine manager,

MUCH CONCERN FELT
Ordinary Method " for Treating
Catarrh Prove Unsuccessful.
Recent statistics showing an in
crease in catarrh have shaken the
oonnuence or medical men in the usual
prescriptions to safeguard human
Health from tbe ravages of this di
season. When stomach dosing provided In
effective, it was natural to look for
some otnei treatment, and it ia be
lieved that in Hyomei, an absolute
cure lor all "catarrhal troubles haa at
last been found. Breathed through
a neat pocket inhaler, its healing
medication reaches every spot where
there are catarrhal germs, destroys
them, prevents their futnre growth,
and soothes the irritated mucous
membrane ao that relief is felt almost
instantly, while lasting cure Is
practically sore to follow.
The complete Hoymel outfit costs
out ai, and is sold by Demaray under
an absolute agreement to refund the
money if it does not give satisfac
tion. It is the only core tor catarrh
that has ever been sold under a guar
antee to cost nothing nnless it cares,
bat Demaray has so muoh faith in its
power to care all catarrhal troubles
that be is willing to take tbe risk, so
if Hyomei does not help yon, there
will not be a penny's expense. Get
an on t fit at once on this liberal plan.
VALUE OF STREET TREES.
Nething Adds $ Muoh t a Tewn'a
Beauty.
There Is a pleasing unanimity of opin
ion among writers and lecturers on
street trees regarding their value to
abutting property as well as to the
community In general. Professor Q. L.
Stone, botanist at the Massachusetts
Agricultural college, in a lecture before
the Worcester County Horticultural so
ciety opened with the following appre
ciative words:
"There is nothing which adds so
much to the beauty of a town or city
as shade trees, and persons of good
taste appreciate this fact One will no
tice In traveling that the vlllugea adorn
ed with a large number of beautiful
shade trees are those In which bave ex
isted for soma time considerable public
spirit, refinement and culture. On the
other haud, mill towns whose Inhab
itants hare no permanent homes are
usually notable for their lack of trees
and embellishments In general. Shade
trees, however, possess another value,
that of utility, and we wish to call at
tention to this feature because It Is not
generally appreciated and furthermore
because It will appeal to the practical
man, who Is little In sympathy with the
beautiful In nny form. The decisions
of courts In tbe I'nited States have In
more than one Instnnce proved that
trees possess a property value and In
many cases from $."0 to 20 or more
bus been awarded to the abutter for Uie
destruction of a single tree. It makes
little dl.Terence whether a tree Is locat
ed on the street or on private land or
whether It Is set out by the town or
city or by the nliutter, since a tree In
front of n piece of property adds value
to It, nnd the nbutter can claim dam
ages for the destruction of such a tree.
An elm tre eighteen to twenty Inches
In diameter, for example, may be worth
$10O to $300, and one would experience
little difficulty In obtulnlng recompense
for its destruction."

The Harvest Victim.
By the middle of each September
England will be dotted over with
stacks of corn, and almost all of them
when thatched will be crowned with a
wisp of straw tied on to a stick or a
pitchfork and looking at a distance
about ss much like s bird as a scare
crow looks like a roan. This almost
universal and apparently meaningless
custom is a relic of the pagan times
before the Roman ciuaueet. when the
tillers of the soil killed a buman victim
to propitiate the spirit of the corn and .
burled him or part of him In the staca.
Our wisps of straw represent the effi
gy which in later days was substituted
for the victim. Traces of this super
stltlon are found all over the world
and In aJmost every century, survivor
of the dim ages wben man looked
uoon the gifts of nature as a boon to
be bought with a price of blood.
