Thero are very many other ex cellent mineral bodies along the Santiam. Citizens of Linn and ( adjacent counties snould make certain the SPEEDY and IMMED IATE erection of the SMELTER by purchasing stock and sharing in 'the future profits of theso thrco mines, and thus the many other mines will ultimately prove valuable alBO.

Deafness Cannot be Cured by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to core deafness, and that is by the constitutional rem edies. Deafness is caused by an in flamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed, Deafness- is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be de stroyed tnrevei ; nine cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh, which' is nothing Dut an inflamed condition o the mucous surfaces.
