Sciatica cured After Twenty Years
of Torture.

@
of Torture.
For more than 20 years Mr.. j. B.
Massey, of 1929 Clinton St.. Minnea-
polls. Minn., was tortured by sciatics.
The pain and suffering which he en-
dured during this time is beyond COM
prehensiOD. Nothing gave him any
permap emit relief until be used Chamber
lain's Pain Balm. One application of
that hnimaut relieved the pain and
made sleep aud rest possible, and less
than one bottle has effected permanent
euro. Mr. Massey relates his experience
for the benefit of others who may be
similarly fflicted. Iftrouble with sciatica
or rheumatism why not try a 25 cent
bottle of Pain Balm and see for your
self how quickly it relieves the pain.

EUREKA MINE SOLD
TO PITTSBURG MEN
A Company With Big Capital to
Operate The Famous Soldier
Creek Property.

There 10 every likelihood that jose
phine county will have another big
producing gold mine for the Eureka
mine has been sold to John w. Boileau
and associates of Pittsburg, Penn.
who will at once put the mino in op.
Grafton. The sale was made by G. L.
Mangum, president of the Grants Pass
Miners Association, and it is one of
the largestshe has made. among which
were the Granite Hill and the Old
Channel mines. The amount paid for
the mine is not given ont but the first
cash payment of $50, 900 was made
through the First National Bank of
this city on Tuesday and the other
payments are to be made in the near
future. The purchasers are all
wealthy men, some of Mr.. Boileau' s.
associates being among the big mill
ionaires Of Pennsylvania, thus making
it certain that the company will have
ample capital to equip and operate the
mine on an extensive scale.
There are Is claims in the Eureka
group and development work has
been carried for several years past on
them and large amount of shaft and
tunnel work has been done, one of the
shafts being to a depth of $50 feet.
Fully $3.50, 900 worth of ore has been
blocked out and ready to be broken
down and hoisted to the ore bins.
The mine is now equipped with
10-stamp mill, two Wiley tables,
cyadine plant, two hoists, electric
light plant, business and assay office
and messhouse and other build
ings. Steam power is now used,
but electric power will be installed by
another year. Electric power can be
readily had as the mine is situated on
Soldier creek. a tributary of Briggs
creek, and but one mile from where
the latter stream enters Illinois river.
Just below the mouth of Briggs creek
there is natural site for dam In
the Illinois river where fully 5000 II.
p. can readily be developed AS not
over 1000 H. p. will be required at
the mine the ri mainder will be trans
mitted to other parts of Illinois Val
ley for mine and other purposes.
The Eureka mine is now reach ed
by sled trail of II miles from Selma,
but is only six miles up Briggs creek
and across the divide by good route

J. II. Bagley, was in Grants Pass
Monday from Woodville. Mr.. Bagley
and his cousin, E. e. Bagley. a large
capitalist of Janesville, Wis, have
undertaken extensive land and town
development at Woodville. In addi-
tion to buying the greater part OF the
townsite they have purchased about
20U0 acres Of land adjoining Wood.
vile. They plan to put this land
under irrigation aud then sell or
lease it in small tracts. Woodville is
on Rogue river at the confluence Of
Evans creek and the valleys Of the
streams contain much rich agricul-
tural land and already considerable
acreage is under cultivation. Hay
has been the chief .roduet, but fruit
raising is now receiving attention aud
apples, peaches and grapes are being
grown in considerable quantities.
With irrigation made possible this
section will be one Of ths best fruit
districts in Rogue River Valley.
With the development of the ada
cent country will come rapid growth
to the town and. it is the plan OF
Messrs. Bagleys to push Woodvills
and to offer such Inducements as will
make 1t one Of the most progressive,
prosperous towns in Southern Ore.

ands ofPeople Killed.

Earthquake and fire Wednesday all
bot annihilated San Francisco, and
brou ght a loss Of lives and property
not equaled in modern times to any
!. city so afflicted. While the number OF
pc rsons killed is not known yet the
estimate is placed at 1000 and it may
be far greater when the wreckage is
cleared away and the bodies are all
secured. The property damage is es-
timated at close to 500. 00O. COO while
the loss of business to the city will be
az much more. And this frightful
earthquake will place a permanent
handicap upon the city's growth for
people will fear to live there and cap
italists will not put money into vast
business blocks and sky scrapers that
may be demolished in moment by
the forces of nature.
As summarized in the press dis
patches. of Wednesday and Thursday

old Flood building, on Market and
Front streets.
Mechanics Pavilion is being used as
a morgue. Three hundred dead bodies.
are reported already gathered at that
place. The wind is blow ing gaze,
and the A mes are said to be making
headway.
The shock of the earthquake was
felt as far south as Santa Barbara.
The fact that Oakland and San Jose
and other bay cities have not been
able to communicate with Los Angeles
would indicate that they. too, have
suffered from the shock.
There is jam of panic stricken pee
pie at the ferry in San Francisco seek
ing to cross the bay to Oakland.
Fires are raging everywhere. and the
fremen are using dynamite.
The Palace and Grand Hotels have
been destroyed.
Mayor Schmiitz las sent to Oakland
for more dynamite.
Fires are reported at Oakland, Ala

Ralto buildings are ablaze. The lofty
Call building is swaying, and expect

entirely wrecked.
Up to II o'clock, Wednesday about
400 dead had been brought to Mechan-

IS ROBBED
BURGLARS ENTER COMMERCE
 STREET PLACE.
Broke Up a Cash Register and Secured About S7O--Went in Place From Bear i'm Early Morn
 ing.

Bold robbers early yesterday morn
 ing entered the Silver Dollar Saloon at 15 Commerce street and the adjoin- ing office occupied by H. c. Davidson at IT 1-2 Commerce street. They en- tered unseen and escaped unmolested.
 The robbers smashed up the cash register in the saloon and took from 1t
 between $70 and $50, also quantity of cigars and whiskey, the amount of which is not known. The saloon IS conducted by B. S. Greil and Company.
 , The burglars turned tho papers In the office of H. C. Davidson upside down. They ransacked every conceiv- able drawer in the establishment and scattered papers in every direction. AS far as is known, they secured only a smoking pipe and a golf scarf pin from MT. Davidson's desk which they prized open and ransacked. The cash drawer and several other adjacent compart- ments were forced open but the thieves, who it believed were looking for mon ey. found none in the cash drawer as the money had been locked up in the safe before the office was closed Tues day night. A piece of iron, used to shake ashes out of the office stove,
 was found broken, and a poker and screw driver had been taken from the
 office and carried to the Silver Dol lar Saloon where they found on the bar counter near the uemOllSueu CdSn register. It Is believed that they were used in forcing opening the register. The burglary was discovered about
 o'clock yesterday morning when Tom Kelly, one of the bartenders, opened the saloon. He found the saloon in a topsy turvy condition and quickly dis covered the smashed up register.
 The electric lights had been left burning by Joe Abraham, the other bartender, who closed the saloon at 1 o'clock yesterday morning, but Mir. Kelly found all of the lights turned off.
 The first one in MT. Davidson's of ! flee to discover the robbery was the negro porter who went to the office about o'clock to open 1t for the day. shortly thereafter, several or the clerks went to work and were startled ! to see the papers in such condition. Every light was burning although only one had been left burning when the | office was closed.
 The burglars effected their entrance to the saloon from a window on the south side of the saloon looking out upon the rear yard of the real estate firm. They prized open the window,
 entered the pool room and made their | way to the bar. From the same yard
 which is surrounded by high walls, they made their entrance to MT. Dav- idson's once through large glass
 window. A tall step ladder, claimed as

 Joseph Redman and Ernest Green, the two white men who were arrested on suspicion Tuesday morning. are still held at the police station for develop ments.
