Manager L. b. Wickersham was in
Grants Pass Tuesday from Granite
Hill mine and reported that another
strike had been made at that mine.
IL is on the 200 foot level and con-
siderable part of the ore runs mp into
the thousands of dollars per ton while
the remainder carries values high
enough to raise the output Of the
mine considerably above the average.
The Granite Hill has been operating
a 10-stamp mill less than year, yet
it has become one of the best gold
producers of this district and
promises to become one of the big
mines of Oregon.

Result of Yellow Literature.

That three boys, leading apparently
upright lives and of respectable
larentsges and with as good home
training as has the average boy,
should be able to carry on career
of crime extending over years time,
and beginning with petty pilfering
ard ending with the boldest burglary,
without arousing the suspicion of the
police, their parents or the public, is
seldom equaled in the annals of crime.
But such was the astute work of
Willie Belcher, son Of Mr.. and Mrs
j. W. Belcher, Jack Durham, step.son
of Geo. ii. Durham and son of Mrs.
Durham, and of Earl Fay, son of Mr..
and Mrs. ]. d. Fay, that now they are
in the Reform School. where they are
likely to stay until they are each 81
years old and that will be a good long
time for the Belcher boy is not
quite l6, the Fay boy 10 and the Dur
ham boy 10 years Of age. The Fay
and Durham boys we're yet in school,
while the Belcher boy was employed
as office boy in the law Office of II.
d. Norton. The strange feature OF
the case Is that the boys were not OF
the hoodlum class, but were well be-
haved and all attended Sunday scnool,
and the Belcler boy belonged to the
Episcopal church, while the Durham
boy Joined the Presbyterian church
only last Sunday morning, and In the
evening attended the young people,
meeting, and then within an hour was
in the burglary that proved their un
doing. Yet in that, so bold were
they and so extremely exemplary wa'
their conduct that they were only

Sunday evening H. @. Bobzien +
grocery store was entered through "A
rear door, in which the burglars cut
a hole with an auger and then un-
hooked the fastening, \ small sum
of money was taken from the cash
register and candy, nuts, tobacco,
canned goods, etc, were also part
of the plunder. Tuesday the Belchor
boy was suspioioned and placed under
arrest by the police and after "a time
i'm the cit Jail, confessed to the
crime and later implicated the Fay
and Durham boys. They too were
arrested and after much effort, con.
fession was forced from them and they
revealed their caches OF stolen plunder.
In their cache in the cupola In the
opera house block, they had enough
giant powder TO blow up Grants Pass,
and a collection Of reyoylrrs and
several hundred cartridges, showing

only being exceeded by those OF thsi
beartbroken mothers. Bidding theii
parents goodbye they were taken t.

A GOOD RESOLVE.
Barre Lawyer Sets Example That Other
Smokers Would Do Well to Follow.

One Of our most prominent lawyers
has made a resolution that he recon-
mends to other smokers, without ask
ing any fee.
For years he has been smoking ten
cent and fifteen-cent cigars and often
without getting one that was satisfac.
tory. When in G. H. Kendricl & Co.'s
drug store a month ago, they recon-
mended SC cigar, Wadsworth Bros
Chicos, and the result is that he has
resolved to buy no other cigar, for he
knows that he is getting q better cigar
than he has heretofore bought.
Other smokers should follow this ex-
ample. The Wadsworth Bros. Chicos
is made from the best Havana tobacco
not favored or doctored in any way
and is better than cigars that are usually
retailed for double the money. Drop in
at G. n. Kendrick q Co.'S today and
get d Chicos.
