A Family Medicine.

A family or domestic medicine is a.
medicine compounded in such way that
people who know little or nothing Of
drugs can use it without the advice Of
physician.
There is nothing to prevent competent
physicians from uniting and agreeing as
to what compounds best meet the general
necessities, and supply them, with proper
directions for use, saving not only the
expense, but annoyance, Of separate
visit from physician for every little i'll
for which few doses Of medicine are
useful.
We do not recommend Peruna as
cure-all. We do. however, believe that
it is very useful remedy for catarrh in
all forms and phases. We do not ask the
public to believe our statements unless
backed up by evidence from those who
have used it.

NASSAU MINE NEAR
NEVADA CITY QUITS

NEVADA CITY, May 6.-The Mas
sau Mining company, formerly known
as the Dana company and under the
management of o. o. Howard, has
ceased operation, and it is reported that
the machinery of the property has been
placed on sale. The plant is owned
by Richard Gautier of this city, and
was started first by a mining pro-
moter named Burgess, who left this
city a short time ago.
The shaft on the mine has been sunk
to a depth of 400 feet, while crosscuts
and drifts have been run to a distance
of about 300, but the desired precious
metal does not show up in the quantity
desired by the investors and promoters
of the property.
The Nassau is situated east of this
city, between the Golden Gate and old
Eureka mines. 1t is said to be back
ledge of the latter. While running a
drift recently the workmen of the
property ran into the old workings of
the Eureka. Developments have been
going ahead under the foremanship of
Fred Godfrey, but now all work has
come to a standstill and those who
have invested in the company refuse
to make any more outlay.

The Honolulu broke loose as gusher

the result that every section between

the bringing in of the extended we'll of
the De Luxe company in section 6,
Coalinga, at a depth of $500 feet, with
a production of 400 barrels day, has
given a new impetus to the oil busi-
ness in that section, according to r.
w. Preston of the Pacific States COM
pany, who has returned to Los An
geles from the field with a budget of
interesting news.
The De Luxe was finished three times
in the upper sands without much sue
cess and then it was decided to lower
1t to the deep sand. At a depth OF
2S0O feet this well disproved the water
theory that has been agitating oil men
in section L for some time. The Well
was put down to the additional depth
in oil instead of the customary water
and at no time during this operation
did any water show on the oil.
The Associated on section 36, 20-14'
adjoining the Coalinga Crude, while
cleaning out few days ago encoun-
tered a strong gas pressure that threw
the bailer out OF the hole, knocked the
crown block off the derrick and shot
oil about so feet into the air, scatter
ing all around the property.
The Coalinga Crude will bring In It's

from all indications a big well will be
developed for that section.
The greatest activity now prevelant
