The Sumpter miner. [volume] (Sumpter, Or.) 1899-1905, 1900-10-31

tifcates from Assayer Robbins show val.
ues from s37 SO to s4s.o3 In gold. This
property Is situated on the head waters Of
Boulder creek.
The Morris property, owned by Grant
Thornberg, has about Geo feet of tunnel
and a 3s.foot shaft. Eight hundred ounces
Of silver and three ounces in gold are said
to have come from a ton Of this ore.
A preliminary survey Is now being made
from the Tempest mine to Ro binsonville,
which will cross the south end of the
Greenhorn range. The wagon road will
be about four miles long and will cost ap.
proximately $4,000, the expense Of which
will be borne by the mine owners in the
Gteenhorn. This will bring the district
within sixteen miles Of the end of the
Sumpter Valley railroad, where It Is
claimed ore can be delivered on down hill
pull for tive dollars per ton.
In speaking Of Robinsonville, II brings
to mind character known to every one
there as "forty Nine Jimmie" whose
nam. is James Diffin. He was born in
the county Armaugh, north Of Ireland in
1924. He has lived in his present cabin
for g years and celebrated his seventy.
sixth birthday the sixth of the present
month. He crossed the plains In iS40.
No one believes In the mineral virtues Of
this country more than does "forty Nine
Jimmie"

TRUTHS EASILY DIGESTED.
Concerning Method For Cusing Dyspep
STA and Stomach Troubles.

Dyspepsia and indigestion are con-
sidered incurable by many people who
do not realize the advance made in
modern medical science, and because
by the old methods and remedies u
cure was rarely, If ever obtained.
Dyspepsia is now cured as readily
as any other disease.
What the dyspeptic wants is abund-
ant nutrition, which means plenty of
good, wholesome, well-cooked food and
something to assist the weak stomach
to digest it. This is exactly the pur-
pose for which Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab
lets are adapted and this is the method
by which they cure the worst cases
of dyspepsia, in other words the pa
tient eats plenty of wholesome food
and Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets digest
it for him. In this way the system is
nourished and the overwOrked stomach
rested, because the tablets will digest
the food whether the stomach works
or not. One of these tablets will di-
gest 5000 grains of meat or eggs.
Your druggist will tell you that Stu
arts Dyspepsia Tablets is n remedy
sold ON its merits aud Is the purest,
safest and cheapest remedy sold for
stomach troubles, and every trial
makes one more friend for this excel
,lent preparation.

shall forget these two great National
Days. But upon each annual return
let us take a fresh baptism of patriot

".rhe people are capa.i of self govern
ment" =
A third of century and more have
passed since the close of that great
conflict, and during all that time elO-
quent pens have been writing the his
tory of that great struggle; patriotic
lips have voiced the praises of those
heroes; skilled painters have attempted
to picture to succeeding generations
the hazards and patriotism Of those
liberty loving men; but all alike have
failed to do them justice, because
words, lips, and canvas are alike in
adequate to the task. But to all alike
an inward monitor stronger than
words, lips Or canvas, says to each
and all, that the deeds and valor of
those noble men who gave to us ma
ton and of those who practced it from
rebellion, shall not perish from the
memory of grateful people.
A generation has been born and aris
on to manhood since the close Of that
great struggle, and yet there remain
some of us who remember those dark
days from 1861 until the final surrender
at AppomattoX. AS the report of the
confederate guns which fired upon
Sumpter resounded throughout the
length and Weadth of this great land
an outraged people almost as one man
arose and resolved to resent the attack
and preserve the Union from treachery
and treason. Patriotism was in the
air; the spirit of '76 was abroad in
the land, and from every city, town
and hamlet, came united voice, pro-
claiming love of constitutional govern
ment. From the farms, workshops, fac
tories, and the marts OF business, our
people came en- mass, singing the songs
of liberty and patriotism ready to sac
riiice their all for the glory and the

men. the uncrowned king of this great
republic.
The flag of Great Britain, of Ger
many, of Russia. of Spain or China
means little to the common people, for
it Is the emblem of a monarch, but in
these United States it is the emblem of
the whole people; and in the line of re-
