Baby Seal Washed Ashore.

At Newport, baby seal was washed
ashore Wednesday and was captured
by the son of the baker at Nye Creek.
The seal was less than two feet long,
and when it was first seen had been
cast up by a wave and was crying
pitifully. Several people attempted to
throw the small stranger back into
the sea, but the little fellow would
not remain in the water and was
finally taken home by young Bayn.
The seal belongs to the fur variety,
and is one of the sights at Newport for
this season. The owner of this strange
pet feeds it by means Of bott le, the
seal taking kindly to sweet milk
through tube. The little pet attracts
all visitors at that seaside resort,
many of whom have never before
seen an animal of that variety

BRIGHT'S DISEASE.

The largest sum ever paid for pre-
scription, changed hands in San Fran
cisco, August 30, 1901 The transfer in
volyed in coin and stock SIP 10000 and
was paid by party OF business men for
a specific for Bright's Disease and Dia-
betes, hitherto ncurable diseases.
They commenced the serious investi-
cation of the specific Nov. 10, 1900.
They interviewed scores OF the cured
and tried it out on its merits hy putting
over three dozen cases on the treatment
and watching them. They also got ply
scians to name chronic, incurable cases,
and administered it with the physicians
for judges. Up to Aug. %. eighty-seyen
per cent of the test cases were either
well or progressing fayorably.
There being but thirteen per cent oil
failures, the parties were satisfied and
closed the transaction. The proceedings
OF the investigating committee and the
clinical reports OF the test cases were
published and will De mailed free on ap
plication. Address JOHN J. FULTON

Railroad to Nye Creek.

Newport may have a miniature rail-
road in the near future. Thurman
Bros, of Salem, have been working on
the stock for the past three months
The engine will not be expected to gen.
crate over six horse power, and the
cars will hold only eight people. The
road will probably be built between
Newport and Nye Creek and maybe
farther up the beach. 1t will add
much to the convenience and pleasure
Of Newport visitors should it be placed
there. The coachers are already lin
ished, being painted in red and green

OREGON GOLD ON DISPLAY
Fine Exhibit Ct Minerals at st Louis
Fair Attracts Many Visitors.
Special Correspondence.

Orcgon's mining exhibit, while not
as large as some at st. Louis, is never
theless complete in every detail and
never fails to produce a favorable i'm
preston on Worlds Fair visitors. AS
with all other Oregon displays, efforts
have been made to make the showings
especially attractive. Some states have
installed exhibits, which though com
plete and very large, are unattractlve
and fail TO secure the attention OF
sight5ecrs. Exhibits above all must
interest people, and when they fail in
that particular they cease to be a bene-
fit to the state.
The part of the Oregon mining eX-
hibit that is IN ost popular is the dis
play Of free gold. But few states have
good exhibits of the yellow metal in
its native condition, and Oregon is
one of the number
Colorado has a magnificent display
probably the best on the grounds,
while Utah and California also have
many nuggets on exhibition. One OF
the most interesting is safe full OF
dust and nuggets from the Klondike,
exhibited i'm the Canadian department.
The gold is in a safe with heavy plate
rIass and steel bars in front. Heaped
up around the safe is ore of every
kind, except in front, where an open
space has been left for visitors to get a
look at the precious metal.
Oregon's gold is on display in a
prominent place in the Mining Build
ing. 1t consists principally of nuggets
from various placer mines through
out the state, in addition to free gold
from quartz diggings. To Fasteners,
who seldom see gold, even in coins,
the metal display is particularly
interesting.
In the center Of the Oregon display,
Il small pavilion has been erected, the
outside of which is covered with quartz
specimens from all parts Of the state.
Within, Superintendent Fred Mellis,
of Baker City, who has charge Of the
exhibit, has il small office where he
entertains visitors and tells them
about the wonders Of Oregon mines
and the treasures that remain buried
underground in the Blue Mountains
and the Cascades.
A large display Of cinnabar, the
mineral from which quicksilver is
extracted, occupies a prominent posi-
tion in the showcases. Cinnabar is
found in but few places in the United
States, and the Oregon display is
good. The stone is gray, with pink
streaks of sulphide Of mercury, and is
very pretty. Photographs Of Oregon
mines and large ore displays from all
parts of the state go to make up the
rest of the show. Considering the
short length of time that Oregon mines
have been extensively operated, the
exhibit is excellent.
The Mining Building itself is very
handsome, and is considered one of
the best pieces of architecture on the
fair grounds. At each door stand
obelisks which give the structure an
Oriental effect that is very attractive.
