The WEsKE MINE.-Mr. A. Weske, the
owner of this celebrated mine, located two
and half miles above Michigan Bluff, called
on us aiais week, having iii his possession
some samples Of the cement and gold in its
natural state as taken from the mine Some
of the specimens shown US were taken so as
to show the bed rock and the cement and
gold formation connected The bed rock is
a sort of sand stone, not, we should say, of
primitive formation and is as near as cn be
described, a dark bottle green in color. The
cement formation is g shade lighter in color
and bordering ON grayish. The gold i'nbed-
ded in the cement, averaging in what we saw
from the size of grain Of wheat to plum
seed, and Is smootllly washed and almost
sdentical with the gold taken from the upper
canyons of the American river. About half
she weight ef these specimens, a pound or so,
Is gold. Mr. Weske says he has not yet
reached the main channel. If this supposi-
tion is correct, considering that The last four
weeks work has nettel him $23 900, what
mry we not expect when they burst into this
main channel. This mine is fortune, sure,
and is the property of hardworking, honest
and honored citizen

The great crowd that remained in town
while the exercises were taking place at the
grove, on Tuesday last, suggest the idea
that in future celebrations of the fourth OF
July here, the Committee would do well to
convert the Plaza into an immense arbor
with seats, stand, etc., and hold the exer-
cises in it, where the attendance of all visitors
and town people could be secured. This,
with the closing of the business houses for
the hour of exercises would, in our Judge
ment, be a great improvement and more
satisfactory to all.

The PAIN KILLER may justly be styled the
great medicine of the world, for there is no re-
gion of the globe into which it has not found lis
way, and been largely used and highly priced.
Moreover there is no cline to which it has not
proved to be we'll adapted for the cure OF n CON
siderable variety of diseases; it is a speedy and
safe remedy for bu ms scalds, cuts, bruises,
wounds and various other injuries, as well rs fol
dyscntery, diarrh@a and bowel complaints gen
orally, it is admirably suited for every race OF
men on the face of the globe.
II is a very significant fact, that notwithstand-
ing the long period of years that the Pain Killer
has been before the world it has never lost one
whit of its particularity but on the contrary;the
call for it has steadily increased from its first
discovery and at no previous time has the de
mand for it been great, or the quantity made
been so large as it is to-day.
Another significant fact is, that nowhere has
the Pain Killer ever been in higher repute, OF
been more generally used by families and indi-
viduals, than it has been here ut home, where il
was first discovord and introduced. That the
Pain Killer will continue to be, what we have
styled it, The GREAT MEDICINE OF THE WORLD
there cannot be the shadow OF a doubt PROV
