SOME NICE LOOKING ORE.

E. McCammon brought in chunk
of ore from the Sunrise claims Satur-
day that had the hall marks of respect
ability. Indeed it was choice sam
pie of heavily impregnated mineral
rock, and it is alleged that there are
two and half feet of similar stuff in
the shaft. Mr.. McCammon states that
ore from the ledge assays some $50 to
the ton. From general appearances
one would be led to believe it ought
to, and two and half foot ledge of
ore of that value is sufficient to make
a mine if there is enough of it, and
every indication gives the impression
that it goes to depth, and it is known
to be continuous for long distance on
the surface. The Sunrise gives excel
lent promise of conner. 1t is located
on the northeast slope of that hill
through spur of which the railroad
tunnel has been driven, and is not two
miles from town in direct line. 1t is
luckily situated as to shipping facili-
ties, and If developed into mine the
matter of transportation is already set
tied. Considerable prospecting work
has been done on the Sunrise, and
every foot of work lends encourage
ment to go on and do more. The com
pany is made up largely of home peo-
pie, and every person interested has
knowledge of the exact conditions and
are confident in the ultimate success
of the proposition. Recently arrange
ments we're made with eastern promo
ters to float sufficient stock to supply
4 working capital. The enterprise is
an attractive one and the agent feels
satisfied he can raise quite sum of
money for development purposes. With
depth of 500 or 900 feet the true value
of the property could be established
The mine is so close to Oroville that
should it turn out as is confidently ex-
pected it would be great help to the
town.

as last resort, at his own suggestion,
he submitted to the application of bees
to the afflicted parts. The treatment is
in the order of heroic, but in few
days DR.. Beale was feeling better than
he had for months, and today he is at
work and looks the picture of health.
DR.. f. c. Webb was almost bed ridden
from rheumatism of the sciatic nerves.
He tested about everything known to
medical science, and even tried the hot
springs. Giving up in despair he re-
turned to Oroville, and commenced
going up against the warm end of the
bee. In remarkably short time he
was able to move about without pain,
and when he left here for Republic
was a much improved man. There is
no doubt but that in time bee stings
will become a regular prescription for
aggravated cases of rheumatism.

TO WORK PLACER CLAIMS
The Golden Sands Company
to Operate on an Ex-
tensive Scale.
CLAIMS ARE NEAR OROv|LLE
The Sinilk kameen the Scene of
Placer Excitement Over
Fifty Years Ago.

Arrangements are being made to in
augurate work on the Golden Sands
Mining company's holdings. This is a
placer mining project, and the claims
to be exploited are located on the Sim
ilkameen river, about mile above the
railroad bridge, and two miles above
Oroville. 1t is the intention to put in
a pump, to be run by electricity, sys-
tenn of sluces and work the ground by
hydraulic washing. Prospecting has
been carefully carried on during the
past two or three years, and the re-
turns have been such as to encourage
the installation of such machinery and
appliances as are necessary for wash
ing the dirt and saving the gold dis
tributed through the sand.
Placer mining is neither a new or
novel process in this locality. The
placer diggings of the Similkameen
was known over half century ago,
and in the early 50s it is alleged 5000
men were gathered at Rick Bar, a
short distance above the falls, and
thousands of dollars extracted by the
crude pan and rocker process. Anum
Der of years ago the writer met an old
prospector who had been in with the
rush to the Bend, and a wierd collec-
tion of humanity it was according to
the story of the participant. Every
man was law unto himself, and it was
case where might alone made right.
Strange to say the pay diggihgs where
work was carried on covered only a
short distance along the river. The
word pay" is used in the sense in
vogue in the early history of placer
mining, when if coarse gold did not ex-
ist in quantities sufficient to make it
pay by panning then the diggings had
been worked out. There is something
peculiar that this coarse gold should
have been confined to SO small ter
rity. Moreover there is little evidence
of placer gold on the river above the
Bar, and the wash has not produced
pay gravel to any extent below the
falls. although colors in abundance can
be obtained almost anywhere along
the stream to where it joins the Okla
hogan river. a number of spasmodic
efforts have been made to placer along
the river from the Bar TO the Okanog-
an, and a large portion of the present
town site of Oroville is on land taken
up and patented as placer ground
Some gold has been washed from the
gravel by individual operators every
season for years, but the washing as
conducted could not be said to pay
wages. The only way placer mining
can possibly be made to pay along the
river is by hydraulic washing and the
experiment about to be made by the
Golden Sands people will be watched
with great deal of interest by people
in this place.

AN EFFICIENT OFFICIAL.

Prosecuting Attorney w. G. Brown,
of Okanogan, was a visitor in Oroville
Wednesday. He had been on an ex-
tended excursion through the north
half of the reservation, Republic and
Greenwood on business connected with
his official position, preparing for the
September term of court. MIR. Brown
has made safe and sane prosecutor,
and has won many friends all over the
county, although there was not much
of a IN trgin to work on, as his trends
were multitude. He is feeling the
mailed fist of the Conconully ring, but
is paying very little attention to the
blows

RELIEVES BE HAS A GOOD THING

Geo. w. Fluckey, Esq, of Toledo,
Ohio, who is largely interested in, and
the moving spirit behind, the Rich Bar
Mining company. left for his home
by way of Seattle, where he
goes to see the exposition, after spend
ing several days at the mine. Mr..
Fluckey is a gentleman of mature years
and an attorney by profession. He is
a gentleman of atfable personality. of
clean cut, sound judgment, and evil
IDENTIFY is not easily misled by the opti-
mism and enthusiasm of others. While
feeling confident that his company has
an excellent prospect in the Rich Bar,
he does not indulge in exaggerative
claims. He states that at present there
is over eight feet of mineral bearing
ledge in the workings, four feet of
which has every appearance of being
first-class ore, while the entire ledge,
so far as exposed and there is still more
to come, is thoroughly mineralized.
He has hopes of being able to raise
sufficient funds to keep work going
steadily at the mine, and believes the
indications justifies his company in ex-
tensiye investments in development
work. The property is located direct
ly on the railroad, few miles west of
Oroville, and is in charge of Chas. r..
Peterson.

and has the energy to do, the orchard
is fourishing, and in few years the
ranch will be one of the most valuable

quoted to show that if Mr.. Ellis is bent
upon improving he will improve, and
every acre so improved will not only be
adding to the value of his own posses

effort. Hence it is fortunate for the
whole county that the gentleman is
becoming so largely interested up this

1T is SEVERE But EFFICACIOUs.

AS an item considered of sufficient
Importance to be used as telegraph
dispatch to the daily papers, an ac-
count was sent out last week from Red
ding, Cal, of "a sufferer from rheuma-
tism being relieved in few hours by
stings of the common honey bee. The
remedy has been tried twice in Oro-
vile during the past three months, and
in both cases the prescription being
used on old and experienced physicians,
followed by very satisfactory results.
sting, or a number of repetitions of the
dose, probably acting as a counter irri-
tant, was an elticacious remedy for
rheumatism, but has been looked upon
as in the category with the spells,
tricks and incantations of the old time
herb doctor who practiced upon the
credulity of the ignorant. However
experience and indisputable evidence
is proving to medical practitioners and
laymen that there is something in the
remedy for that 50 common and pain
full ailment.
Last spring DR. f. S. Beale was a
cripple from the ravages of rheumatism.
He was in a deplorable condition and
an intense sufferer. He could hardly
move around. and his limbs were
racked with pain. He tried everything
in the way ot drugs without relief, and

IN FARM HOUSES
SOLUTION OF UNREST or CoUN-
TRY WOMEN - FARM CON-
GRESS WOULD BUILD
NATIONAL ROADS.

Raleigh, Nov. 9.--That the unrest Of
women in the farm houses Is due to
lack of modern improvements, to the
colorless monotony attending their iso-
lation and to a lack of independent
earning power, was the opinion ex-
pressed by Miss Alice e. Whitaker OF
Washington in paper read before the
Farmers National congress in session
here. The condition or women would
be vastly improved. Mrs. Whitaker
declared, IL home idustries could be
introduced on the farm to make use OF
its products and to furnish an income
from congenial employment.
Legislation to establish four nation
al roads from the Atlantic to the Pa
cific, the strengthening OF the "oleo''
law, law prohibiting railroads from
charging full trip mileage rate In ex-
cess of rates Of states through which
they extend, the enactl ent of q postal
bank law, increasing the Thanking pri-
vilege to state agricultural schools and
colleges for the extension of publica-
ton work were urged in resolutions
The congress also placed itself on
record In favor OF the enactment OF a
law undermining the parcel post sys-
tenn. urged congress 10 appropriate
money for denatured alcohol distiller-
les at selected agricultural expert

Grand Forks, N D., NOV. s.-Under
the new arrangement, train No. 1877
on the Great Northern known as the
Neche train and bound TO- points
north win leave Grand Forks at 1896
o'clock a. m, instead of waiting for
train No. which comes from the
east. Under this new Arrangement
connections with the 500 at Ardock
will be made possible and long felt
local need will be supplied. The off,
cials have decided that the holding OF
the Neche train for No. is merely a
matter of getting the people used TO
taking No. 8 from st. Paul here and
getting practically the same result in
the matters OF connections north. On
the other hand, 1t means much locally
to get connections with the 500 at
Ardock and train 1877 will undoubtedly
prove very popular. The new arrange
ment Ia now In effect.

Washington, Nov. e.--Labor condi-
tions in Great Britain are going from
bad to worse, judging from a report
Of John L. Griffiths. -eneral counsel
at London, to the department of com
merce anC labor Wages are being
lowered and hours Of work are de-
creasing, while an alarming large in
crease in the number of thos9 who are
registered as unemployed, is giving
grave concern.
Last year during the entire twelve
months wages Of 100000 persons were
reduced because of bad times. In the
six months OF 1909 from January to
June, or just half the time, 1851. 273
were compelled to submit to reduc-
lions In their earnings.
The gravity of the situation is vi
wildly set forth by statistics of the un-
employed prepared and compiled by
the British government. These show
that in the first three days of regis
tration last month, $500 more persons
applied for work than in the corres-
ponding three days of October, 1903.
