Craig laughed heartily as he finished
the story, and Alan and Miller joined
in.

Miller went on to Alan. He twits me
about overchecking occasionally. Let
me tell you something. Last year |

WONDERS OF SURGERY.
Discounted by a Marvellous Remedy
for Human Ills.
Mrs. Frances Catalan. Of Virginia
City, Nevada, has a Remarkable
Experience Life Saved
by an Indian Remedy.

Newspapers never seem to tire of
publishing wonderful stories about the
mlrvels of modern surgery. One man
has a section of his spine removed and
a carefully modelled silver veItebra
substituted for the natural hone
Another mas his whole stomach re-
moved and pat back again.
Wonderful as are these performances
of men of science, a remedy which,
without fuss or DO Their. goes straight
to the seat of disease and cures ii is
still more woal1rful. We are apt to
Overlook meas which work quietly
AMI give credit to eXtraoId binary means
of procedure.
1t is certain that the North American
IN lilns, children of the forest and
pain, possessed many valuable secrets
of nltIre for the cure of disease. One
of these secrets, preserved for Tn
counted generations by the kiokapoo
In liln Tribe, is nov a permanent part
of the worlds medical knowledge, and
known as the Kicka poo Indian Sagwa.
TloIslnd all ove this state are Icing
benefited by its use.
Here is a sample letter from hundreds

"KICKAPoo INDIAN MEDICINE Co.,

Virginia City, Nevada.
Is there any reason to believe that
your experience when taking Kiekapoo
Indian Sagwa will be any different
from Mrs. Galatians :? No, certainly
not. If Sagwa can cure her. il can
cure you. The question is will you
give it a chance. Sagwa is sold under
a positive guarantee, your money re-
funded if you are not satisfied. All

A GOLD SAVING MACHINE
Works on Rocker Principle and
Catches Finest Gold.

a new gold saving apparatus, says
the Journal was exhibited in Yreka
this week, the invention of u pioneer,
Mr.. Rockefeller, relative of the noted
millionaire. John ID. The machine
works on the rocker principle, being
as large and something like low
wagon box, set on rockers. At one
end is section feet square, with
perforated sheet iron, under which is
a light frame work moving back and
forward The fine gravel with gold
runs into main box and the coarse
gravel runs out of spout at the side
AT the lower end of the box is another
section of perforated iron, with blan-
ket underneath, through which the
water passes out dropping ON water
wheel to run the machine. Two in
ches of water is claimed to be power
enough through the box for running
the overshot wheel in making the
motion by means of crank
attachment. The apparatus was
viewed by many of our citizens, and
may be good thing to work up tail

MINE
Good Work OF Elevator Installed
by Manager Logan.

The we'll known Simmons Cameron
mine of the Waldo district, one of the
largest hydraulic placers in Southern
Oregon, has had this season, the most
profitable run in many years. ]. T.
Logan, the manager, has initiated a
number of improvements since he took
charge of the property, the most
notable being a hydraulic elevator
which was installed last year. This
season, largely through the aid of this
appliance, the mine has made the best
run for many years past, in fact, as
much ground has been worked this
season as was worked in the three sea-
sons preceding and at less cost of
operation, as with the new contri-
vance, only about half as many men
are necessary that were required by
the old method. This mine has
water supply which is almost un.
limited and the efficiency of the ele.
vator is emphasized by this circum-
stance.

RELICS OF ANCIENT AGE
Mortars OF Historic Time
Found I'm Winner Bros. Mine.

Winner Bros, in their mine near
Waldo, have unearthed and secured,
pt various times, number of mortars
which are beyond question relics of IA
prehistoric race. They are found in
the old gravel of an ancient channel,
30 or 60 feet below the surface, firmly
EMBEDDED in a cemented gravel near
the bedrock. This stratum Of gravel,
which is six or eight feet in depth. is
clearly II much older deposit than that
which lies above it.
The mortars are made of hard
granite and iron stone. There is no
similar rock in the formations of the
immediate vicinity, though both
varieties of stone are found plenti.
fully on Rough and Ready creek,
some two mile away. Some of the
mortars were probably used for grind.
ing food, while others seem to have
been used as quartz mortars. They
are of different sizes and shapes bur
the handiwork of man is very evident
in their construction. Their age, as
indicated by the formation in viii ch
they are found, is so great as to be
beyond imagination or cOmpu tationby
the ordinary mind. Since the time
that the gravel was deposited in these
old channels, the whole face Of
nature has been changed. The chan
nols are absolutely independent of the
present topography Of the country.
They run across ridges and jump
across canyons ignoring entirely the
present conditions. Since they were
placed, the country has been uphoaved
and rent apart until IL must bear no
resemblance whatever to It's former
appearance. The period prior to these
eruptions and convulsions Is far dis
tant from the reach Of history or ira.
dition and goes back into the aeons Of
ages ago, so remote that its age Is al
most beyond all conjecture, aud the
finding Of the undeniablo handi work
Of man in the deposits Of this age is
a matter TO command the interest Of
geologians and antiquarians The
manner Of finding these mortars pre-.
cludes any possibility Of mistake as
10 where they occur. The top, some 30
or 80 feet in depth, was piped of,
down TO tho old cement gravel near
the bedrock, and in this cement the
mortars are found solidily embedded
and are filled with the same material,
80 hard and solid that II has to be-
picked out very patiently aud care
fully 10 avoid breaking the relic.
