General Revival in This Branch
OF Mining.

r. n. Donaldson Selby came in from
the Burnt river placer district Saturday,
and reports much activity there. His
opinion is that Eugene Way, working the
Holdman creek pIacers, and Charles
Wilcox, of the Spring guIch placers, will
make handsome cIeanups.
These dggingS are between Lotkhart
and Heriord, IN the Auburn section,
where they viii have tuII two months

Charles Wilcox pick up $500 on his
ground one afternoon.
Isaac Neil also came IN Friday. ln
partnership with N. Is. White he has been
working placer claim near Devore x
hshbury's diggings on the "Old Chanell'
about five miles west 0t Sump,cr. Mr..
Nail tells how, on u hours run with
3s inches ot water, with which they
worked about twenty-five by eighty feet
of gravel, they cleaned up 6s ounces OF
gold, which they exchanged tor double
eagles at the Sumpter bank on the basis

Mr.. Eaton informs us, about $40 damage
was done to the building. Up to this

FOREST INSPECTORS.
At Work in Blue Mountain Timber Near
Prairie City.

A. :. Johnson, forestry botanist for Ore.
gon, is exporting theiimber and shrubbery
In the Blue mountain range of mountains
and is now inspecting the timber belt in
the Prairie CITY district.
His work consists OF finding out the
number OF acres OF outstanding timber,
varieties, distribution OF each variety, the
number oi Sawmlls and the amount Of
lumber cut bv each, the area Of timber de.
stroyed bv forest fires, the time fires were
set and who set them, the result OF de.

demonstration.
No, only the timber is looked after by
Mr.. Johnson, but the different species OF
shrubery, aud when his trip OF inspection
In the diiieren timber belts Of Oregon Is
completed, a sta,is,ica! report will be pre-.
pared and forwarded to Washington.
This report will be used in making new
map OF the state of Oregon by the govern.
men, and when completed this map will
show where The timber belts lie and the
different species OF shrubbery growing
thereon.
Mr. Johnson has experienced some dif.
fcul,y IN running down the orginators OF
forest fires, but has been successful In
most cases. One case took over two years
but the guilty one was finally brought to
justice.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: AS q
reader of your valuable paper / was glad
to notice in your issue of June in Picket
Shots the article of J. $. Mcconnell, 18th
Iowa, ON those in the Border States who
dared uphold the old flag. AS l happened
to move into Missouri from an Eastern
State in the Spring of 1860, l know some
thing about the treachery of neighbors,
the pilasing and destruction of property,
and wanton murders committed by those
calling themselves Confederate soldiers,
and l feel like taking by the hand the
comrade and stranger who comes out vol
unfairly with Il good word for US poor
border ruitians." IF
Now it was not necessary to go n thou
sand miles from home to get to the firing
line when you had the front at your own
door. for it is Il well-knOwn fact that it
required thousands of Union troops, aside
from the militia, to hold old Missouri
straight for four years, and it seems to
me manifest in Justice that these same
militia are disbarred from receiving pen
sions, are denied the privileges of Sol
diers' Homes, and while some G. A. II.
Posts admit them to mGmbership others
look upon them askanee. because they

A New and Positive Cure for ASTHMA and
HAY-FEvER has been found in the KOla Plant,
rare botanic product of West African origin.
So great are the powers Of this New Remedy
that in the short time since its discovery 1t
has come into almost universal use in the
Hospitals Of Europe and America for the cure
OF every form Of Asthma and Hay-Feyer. Its
cures are really marvellous. Men, women and
children who were given up as incurable are
being restored daily to perfect health by the
use Of Himalya. Thousands of letters attest
ing its wonderful cures have been written the
importers, but limited space prevents detail
ed list. Read what few have to say, proving
that Hay-Fever and Asthma can be cured:
VIM. Kuhler, Sr., of WarrentOn, Mo-, writes
Dec. %, 1899, that he cured of Hay Fever and
Asthma of five years standing, and that his SON
was also cured after many years of similar suffer-
ing. Mr.. G. E. Cole, of Oradell, Nj writes Dec 25
1889, that after fourteen years of suffering with
Hay-Fever and Asthma he was entirely cured and
has had 10 return of this trouble for three years.
