Truth and Quality appeal to the Well-informed In every walk of life and are essential to per manent success and creditable stand ing. Accordingly, It Is not claimed that Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Sesna Is the only remedy of known ralue, but one of many reasons why It Is the best of personal and family laxatives Is the fact that It cleanses, sweetens and relieves the internal organs on which It acts without any debilitating after effects and without having to increase the quantity from time to time. It acts pleasactly and natnrally and truly as a laxative, and Its component parts are known to and approved by physicians, as it is free from all objectionable substances.

The gulches leading down from the mountains to Little Slate and Miller creeks, werefound to be tremendously rich in placer gold, and more than $100,000,000 were taken from them. At the base of the mountains is a level stretch of ground; 10 mites long and up to 1600 and 2500 feet wide. Into this bottom, for hundreds of years before the miners ever found the placers, the rains and annual freshets had been washing this placer gold In Immense quantities, but the miners of that day could not reach It because the ground could not be mined except with hydraulic elevators and water piped from the streams five miles away. At that time supplies were first packed In from The Dalles and later from Walla Walla, so It was impossible to introduce anything of a weighty character. ' :; THE FLORENCE PLACER. MINING COMPANY HAS MORE THAN flO.OOO POUNDS OF THIS APPARATUS IN TRANSIT TO THE MINES. Besides a sawmill purchased from the Portland Machinery company. It Is expected that within three months the flumes and ditches will all be completed, the. hydraulic elevator ready for work, and that the giants will be playing on the gravel. Then the production of gold will begin, and continued except for the closed sea son of about four winter months, for the next 25 years. This will afford a steady Income' to all stockholders for the next quarter of a century, as we have 27 full claims, or 640 acres, and It will require all that time to mine it out. AS STATED, WE ARE CONFIDENT WE SHALL PAY 200 PER CENT PER ANNUM ON ALL OUR. STOCK, AND THIS WOULD MEAN THAT THE RETURNS WOULD BE AS FOLLOWS: $250 Invested in 1000 Florence Placer shares at 25 cents the share, at 200 per cent per annum would re turn to the investor $500 per year, or twice the amount invested In the stock. It would pay back $2600 In five years, or enough to build a comfortable home; $5000 In 10 years, $10,000 In 20 years, and $12,600 In the 25 years we expect It wll lrequire to work the Florence Placers out. $500 Invested now, at 25c the share, at the" same rate of Interest, would reward the Investor with an Income of $1000 per year for the next quarter of a century. $750 Invested now would mean an Income of $1500 per year during the life of this enterprise. $1000 Invested while these shin es are selling at present prices, should enrich the Investor to the extent of $2000 per annum; $20,000 In 10 years, $40,000 In 20 years, and the handsome fortune of $50,000 before the last of the Florence Placer ground has beta washed out $2000 placed in these shares now, at the Interest we feel positive we shall be able to pay, would profit the buyer $100,000 If he should elect to hold them the entire period It will require to mine out this ground. Loaned to the Bank at 4 Per Cent. Two hundred and fifty dollars would return $10 per year, and $260 in 25 years. This Is $12,000 less than our stock at 200 per cent per annum would pay In 25 years on an Investment of $250. $500 out at 4 per cent per annum would return $20 per year. At 200 per cent per annum the return would be $1000 per year $980 more than the bank would pay. At 4 per cent the bank would pay $500 for the use of $500 for 25 years. At 200 per cent per annum the mine would pay, In 25 years, $25,000, or $24,500 more than would be received from the bank. Larger sums would pay In proportion, and we merely make these comparisons that It may be known that the Florence Placers will reward their stockholders more richly than could be expected from the most prosperous business, aside from mining, In the whole range of human effort. THESE ARF THE FACTS ABOUT OUR MINES AND PROPOSITION. We secured the property last fall from William Crandall, Just prior to his fatal Illness, he dying In March, Had he been strong and young, (he died at 63,) he would not have sold, but we have these 27 treasures,, and we Invite a few of the citizens of Umatilla county to Join us In paying the cost of equipping the mines, and we assure them they shall have honestly distributed to them their share of every dollar we produce. The Integrity of the officers are well known In Portland, and may be easily ascertained by any Interested person. Nearly every attorney in the state knows Judge J. B. Cleland, of the State Circuit Court of Multnomah county, president of the company, and others may feel free to Inquire of the Hlbernla Savings bank, of Portland, or of the banking house of Ladd & Tilton concerning the standing of the Peaslce Bros., directors In the company. Nearly every business man In Portland knows every man connected with the concern. The" treasurer, Richard C. Hart, Is the government inspector of lighthouses, and has held this responsible position for years. This ought to be an ample testimonial to this man's character. He also is the secretary of the company. THIS SALE OF SHARES WILL END ON OR BEFORE JULY 1. And may be discontinued at any time.-therefore If readers of this paper have any thought of Investing In this POSITIVELY THE BEST AND SAFEST MINING PROPOSITION EVER OFFERED THEM, there Is not much time left to think about it. Before we bought the ground we had It thoroughly tested, as only placer mining property can be. AND KNOW IT I.S RICH BEYOND ALL HUMAN IMAGINATION.
