DEADLY POISON in
CHRISTMAS CANDY
Mrs. H I Reynolds of This City
Was Saved Only by
Its Over dosin6.

An attempt to poison Mrs. II. 1.
Reynolds. of this city. was made by
some unknown person during Christ
mas, by sending her box Of bonbons
containing some strong poison. The
candy was so thoroughly saturated
with the poison that it severely
burned her mouth and tongue. and
prevented her swallowing any Of it.
The candy has been examined by
local chemists and found to contain
enough acid to kill several persons.
The box of candy was mailed in
this city, but SO far nothing has de.
veloped to indicate the sender. Fully
believing it was present from q
friend who had neglected to enclose q
card, she had no hesitancy in eating
the apparent sweets, and would have
swallowed dangerous portion of il
had not the acid severely burned her
the moment 1t touched her lips.
Postmaster Harmon has turned the
box and wrapper. Just as 1t wai
passed through the mail, over to the
postal authorities, and an investiga
tion will be made at once.

or and richer deposit below il. This
certain piece of ground from the
poorest Of which this sample was
taken has yielded $3.50 in gold.
Now, then, if Mr.. Day is right,
ga, 900 or more was lost in mining
the ground for there was no corroded
or float gold saved and but little
pl .tinum metals.
If by impro ed machinery the output
OF the mines can be doubled without
materially increasing the expense IL
necessarily follows that the placer
mines of Southern Josephine county
have very bright future before
them. for we have very extensive
beds of gold and platinum bearing
gravels. These gravel deposits are
deep aud it will require large capital
to develop and work them, but thev
contain more thousands than the cents
that have been taken from them. One
gigantic mining scheme possible in
this valley is the lowering Of the bed
of the main Illinois river (which Of
itself is full Of gold) by removing the
numerous falls in it; this would give
sufficient grade to admit Of working
the entire country tributary and is en-
tirely feasible. This would drain q
section Of gold and platinum bearing
gravel some Is miles square; it would
require as much capital as the build
ing of a railroad but would pay better
than any railroad not operated on
watered stock and the rebate system.
Being isolated has kept our section
down. but the future is bright.
