JOHN AND FLOYD BAILEY FIND
SPECIMEN ORE.
MORTARING IS PROFITABLE
Property Has Been Worked for a
Number of Years.--Ore Shows
Up Well.

This section is again the scene Of
rich mining strike, this time at the
Afterthought mine, property which
has been worked for several years by
Its owners, John R. and Floyd Bailey,
of this city. The mine is located on
Thompson creek about 20 miles from
Grants Pass and one and a half miles
from Applegate post-office in the
same section Of country and not many
miles distant from the once famous
Steamboat mine, which produced over
$500, 900.
The owners have been for some
time tunneling in the lower Of the two
levels and exposing ore running from
5000 to $500 per ton, but one day
last week they struck an exceptional
ly rich streak OF specimen ore which
is heavy with free gold. ]. r. Bailey
was In the city few days ago with
considerable amount OF the ore which
he displayed to friends and acquain-
tances. This picture rock Is white
quartz literally heavy with metal and
shot full of free gold. 1t is found In
we'll defined contact between ande-
site porphyry and slate and has ev-
cry appearance Of being permanent
vein, and is pronounced by many as
the most promising property In this
section.
Quite an amount Of the rich ore
has been taken out and is being NOR
tared out by hand as there Is no mill
within easy reach. While the vein,
which is about 26 inches In width, Is
not all specimen rock, there is so
much that the free gold can easily be
seen from top to the bottom Of the
drift. II Is found at depth OF about
so feet.
This property was discovered by
the Baileys some years ago and sold
for 81 900 to a man OF small mining
experience who, after working Ii for
some time, became discouraged and
sold out to the present owners for
a fraction OF the original price.

ALAMEDA SHELTER
RESUMES OPERATIONS

GALIcE, Ore. Sept. 16.-The fur
mace OF the smelling plant of the AL
media Consolidated Mines company
was again blown In Saturday and It's
operations are now far more satisfac-
tory than heretofore owing to certain
mechanical changes made in the fur
mace proper, which insures the handl-
Ing OF a larger tonnage than previ-
ously, though the last carload of
matte was, when marketed, proved
that one weeks run would cover the
expense OF mining and smelling for
full month. The ore on which the
smelter Is now running comes from
No. 8 tunnel In the shaft and Is very
rich not only In copper but In gold.

DISCOVERS CHAMBER
In JOSEPHINE CAVES

Custodian Smith OF the Marble
Caves Of Oregon. has just discovered
"A large. new chamber far under
ground which Is decided addition to
the caves, inasmuch as II has not
been marred by vandals In the form
Of souvenir hunting tourists. The
cave was found last week while Mr..
Smith was engaged In exploring the
farthest recesses of the caves gath
ering data from which to compile q
map. The room Is beautiful ono,
the ceiling being clustered with
countless stalacttes ranging In
length from an inch to three or four
feet, none OF them being broken off.
Several columns where the stalac-
tites and the stalagmites beneath
have Joined together are also seen.
This new cavern indicates the
beauty Of the entire range Of UNDER
ground passages and caverns before
tourists during the last thirty years
marred the caves by breaking the
stalagmites and stalactites free and
carrying them away. In places 1t Ii
evident that large sledgehammers
have been used In this vandalism. No
longer, however. may this be done
with impunity. for Uncle Sam has Is
sued strict edIct that he Will harsh
ly deal with those who dare to deface
the caverns. Custodian Smith Is rig
Idly enforcing the law.
The government has just complet-
ed ever three miles OF new trail from
the upper end of Williams creek to
the caves. This makes II compare
lively easy TO visit the caves as the
last ten miles can be covered In short
time by horses, and the road to the
head OF Williams creek is in fair
condition for automobiles.

FALSE HUNGER
A Symptom of Stomach Trouble Cor

years, and up to nine years ago had
good, average health. Nine years ago
however, my health began to fall
and continued to grow worse steadily.

the more / ate the more 1 wanted to

"The first symptoms of my break
down were a distressing nervousness
and loss of flesh. The nervousness
grew so bad that finally it amounted to
actual prostration. Then came stom-
ach troubles, which were very painful.
constipation which brought on piles,
dyspepsia and severe nervous head
aches.
THE doctors seemed powerless to
help me, said I was overworked, and
at last urged me to give up teach,
ing, if l wished to save my life.
But this could not do. | kept on
at 1t as we'll as could, each day grow
ing more wretched, my will-power
alone keeping me up, till at last

of Grape-Nuts food, and from that
day to this I have found it delicious
always appetizing and satisfying.
