Oroville Mercury: The fact that there
is deal on in the matter of the Spring
Valley mine at Cherokee has led to a
rumor being circulated to the effect
that the big mine is sold. This is not
the case, though a deal is pending
which may result in the sale of the
majority Of. interests in the property
1t viii be remembered that something
like year ago litigation that had long
been pending was concluded and the
property passed into the hands of the
bondholders. Since that time there has
been several rumors of sale, it being
known that a majority of the present
owners are not mining men and are
simply desirous of realizing on their
investment. The mine is one of the
best known in California, and it's name
is known all over the world. In the
flush days, when hydraulic mines ran
without restriction, it yielded 81, ,00U.
600 in golden nuggets. Since mining
by hydraulic process has been discon-
tinued, work has been prosecuted by
other methods to a limited extent, sew
enty-five or 100 men working ground
Independently or in companies under
lease. 1t has been demonstrated that
the mine can be worked by drifting.
and sooner or later the big mine will
be in operation, the auriferous gravels
being taken without washing down the
mountains under which they lie.
At present an option is held by a Los
Angeles gentleman, who, it is be-
lieved, will close the deal before it's
pxpira tiop The 0ntiOp is 11p0n the ma
jority of the interests and will expire
in a. short time There seems to be
good reason to hope that the mine will
ere long be worked again upon an ex-
tensive scale. 1t has been demopstrated
that the supply of gold is practically
inexhaustible, and there is no doubt
that once operations are begun the
mine will pour forth shower of gold,
enriching it's owners and promoting the
prosperity of Butte.

It was not until the 10Th that the
Montford came along and was signaled
by the Belle Isle light, where num-
ber of passengers walked from the
wreck. After bringing these people on
board ship she proceeded to where the
Scotsman lay. The weather was bright
and clear. AS soon as practicable the
boats We're launched, and the work of
transferring the passengers began.
The Montford took 250 of the passen-
gers and the steamer Grecian, which
soon afterward came in sight, took the
remainder, excepting four who decided
to return to England on the Monterey,
the next vessel to appear. Forty-five
of the crew also went on this boat.

FIRE AT GRANTS PASS.
Sixteen Business Houses and Many
Other Buildings Destroyed.

GRANTS PASS (Or), Sept 29.-The
most destructive fire in the history OF
Grants Pass began at 12:30 to-day in
the Palace Hotel, a two-story frame
building.
The strong breeze from the west
added greatly to the fury of the flames,
which spread in three directions in an
incredibly short time. Front street
was entirely wiped out for one block
from Wade's grocery to Dixon & NC
Croskey's two-story brick building.
The fire also extended south and east
of Fifth street, and completely de-
stroyed every building on the west
half of a block.
Inside of an hour and a half sixteen
business houses and eight warehouses
and many smaller buildings had been
destroyed.
The origin is not known, but is sup
posed to have been a defective hue.
The total loss is about $4,000; insur'
ance, $4,000.

Walter S. Hobart's Estate.

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. %. - Aftel
seven years of slow progress through
the courts, unmarked by any contest,
the final distribution of the estate of
the late Walter S. Hobart has been

who died June 2, 1892, was worth, ac-
cording TO the inventory and appraise-
ment, the sum of S5.273 1866. His will,
which was drawn April 15, 1892, be-
queathed his entire estate, share and
share alike, to his children, Walter ..
and Ella V. Hobart. Charles T. Bridge
and James Cross were named as ex-
ecutors. To-day the application for

The following mining news will
doubtless prove of general interest:
PLACER AND QUARTZ.
Yreka Journal: The Greenhorn Blue
Gravel mine has been purchased by A.
Wetzel, L. J. Wetzel, John E. Harmon
and w. r. Ridenour, who intend sink
ing a new shaft and adding improved
apparatus for working the mine on a
more extensive scale. This claim has
been paying handsomely for some time
past, and with more water during the
winter season will pay still better.
The trade was consummated yesterday,
and the new owners will take immedi-
ate possession. They will continue to
employ John Garvey as foreman, whose
experience in working the mine and
knowledge of the ground renders him
an expert in engineering operations
with success.
The working of the group of quartz
mines on Squaw Creek, a tributary of
Willow Creek, in the Gazelle district,
promises to turn out the biggest min
ing enterprise in Siskyou County. The
mines owned by several parties, show
a ledge ninety y-eight feet wide, which
prospects very encouragingly, have
been bonded to DR.. G. w. DWinnell of
Montague for $4,000, and the agree
ment is that all quartz yielding $50 a
ton or more must be shipped to Kes-
wick, with lower grade ore stacked up
at the claims, until a mill is put up
for crushing the same.
Among the new enterprises in this
county is a four-mile ditch to be dug
from Buckhorn Greek, a tributary of
Horse Creek on klamath River, to the
Poverty Point and Yankee placer mines
just opposite Oak Bar. A new COM
pany has been formed, consisting of
DR.. G. A. McCrumb, William Gosslin
and w. L. Lindhard, parties from Port
land, Ore, and III. J. Barton of Oak
Bar These two properties are well
known for their rich paying qualities

In every civilized country rich and
poor alike have found restored health
and new vigor in Paine's celery com
pound.
handwriting people of ordinary
mean are to be congratulated" says an
English writer in reviewing the scien-
titic work of the last quarter of a cen
fury, "upon having so easily within their
reach today a remedy which the wealth.
lest and most influential persons must
themselves use, if they would get the
best that modern medical skill offers.
Painc's celery compound proves that the
science of medicine has kept pace with
the wonderful progress which charac-
teriZcs the life of the present genera
tion."
The astonishing reputation that this
most wonderful of all remedies has ac-
quircd is principally due to the word-of-
mouth recommendation and endorse
ment of men and women of the highest
business and social standing, us well as
of those in humber but no less import
ant positions who have themselves dis,
covered it's merits.
Adeline, Countess Schimmelmann,
whose portrait is here given, in a letter
to the Wells d Richardson company
speaks of friends of hers who have been
benefited by Paine's celery compound
and who first advised her to recommend
it to her sick friends.

prominent member of the Danish court
Her coming to this country has been
