TtoGMtloitF Ms. O.S'LY PAPKR IN ORANT COUNiY. Official Paper Tor Grant County. Canyon City, Saturday Aug. 23, 1879. S. II. Shepherd, Editor- Monumental Mine. Reference to the progress of developments of this mine, since active work was ommenced on it two years airo, have been frequent ly made in this paper. Now that nrill inj; the ore will soon begin, the follow ing fa its concerning the enterprise, fnrni-hed bv B. .J. W. Stetnmc, Eq., president of the company, wlm has just re'ur' ed from the min, arc of public interest. The work on the mine com prise a tunnel run in'o the mountain over 700 feet, cntting in its course 1G ledues, two of which are opened to the surface. Ledge N 10 is 256 feet and ledtre No. 13 is 300 feet to the surface. Drifts are run from the tunnel into tliee a.Md other ledges a distance of 200 to 300 feet. The ledges vary in width frmi (J inches to 4 foot, and all carry hinh grade an timonial and ruby silver ore. The present opening of the mine will furnish sufficient ore to run a twenty stamp mill for two years. The mill machinery is now on the ground and a force of 70 men aie at work on its crnslruction and it will be ready for operation the last of Septem ber. The expenditures of the company, in the purchase of the mine, expense of development, construction of ma chinery exceed 8140,000, much of this amount was derived from the sale of the stock, that no assessments would bo levied on it bein guaranteed. The present outlook, which is a certainty, is that the Monumental will be a divi dend paying mine and that the value of that property will increase with the progress of the work, as all indications are that. larie ore bodies will be found at fuithc-r depth by the conjunction of the different ledges. Mr. Stemme brought with him specimens 001 e from diiiert-nt parts of the mine, which can be seen at the e.fnoe of the company. Daily Oregon ian. There will be preaching at the M. E. Church in this city at 11 A. M. to-morrow; also a children's meeting at John Day town at 3 P. M.f Rev. G. W. Grannis officiating. Division of the State. We seethe question of dividing the State is again being agitated by some of our Eastern Oregon contemporaries. We have 'idvoeatcd this for some time. There are no ties to bind either East ern Oregon or Washington to Webfoot or the Clam country, and although it wouhl deprive us of any portion of the seaboard, we think we would be bene fitted by the division. Western Ore gon h-is already drained us and will continni- to ! so as lng ;is we remain a part aril parr-el of the same State. We. are put to great expense in trans acting business at the Capital and as matters now stand it appears as if Eastern Oregon had no rights that Western Oregon cared t respect We are never wanted, except at elections, and then only lo give t e Democratic majorities rcquiite to put men in po sitions of pp.fit aiui trust. Give us Eastern Ore -om, Eastern. Washington and Northern Idaho nd we would :.-ue oik ni ti ' nnest nlanu empires on c mhneur. We .ire decidedly in f.nm of a division, and that ri;ht a way. East O rego n ian. Geo. P.Rowkll 4t Co. in the American Newspaper Directo ry for Jluy show that the whole number of newspapers in the United States has increased since January of the current year from 8,703 to 9,153. Newspapers abound in the ter ritories. Suspensions have been fewer than in any corres pon neriod for several year- Memphis, Aug. 15 Nine new cases up to noon. Six in terments reported by undertakers. Thos. Merry, of the Inland Empire, says, if we thought Eastern Oregon on I inland empire before starting this pa per we now think the county of Wasco alone is entitled to the appellation. A drive of nearly three hundred miles has given us ample facilities for close obser vation and we believe that we are not amenable to a charge of exaggeration when we state our belief that three thousand more families can find homes bore and good homes at that. The value of our county has long been known for stock purposes, but its im portance as a grain producing region, is destined t be developed by the next two years. Two years ago, all the grain grown between the Dalles and Des chutes bridge was produced on the nar row creek-bottoms. To-day there are not less than four thousand acres of hillsides growing wheat and corn with in the f-ame limits. Two years ago, our flour mill was running mostly on Walla-Walla wheat; this year we will have two mills grinding out wheat grown here and exporting flour to Port land for sale. That our trip was a hard one, we do not deny, but we met with a cordiil reoeptionj wherever we stopped which di I much to abate the severity of the journey. The prosperity of our county has only begun. The following appointments were made by the Metlmdi.-t Conference at Walla Walla, for the Dalles Dristrict: L. J. Whitcomb, V IS. ; The Dalles If. 1C. 1 lines; Can von City, R G. Ilawn and A. Eads; ITeppner, S. Hope; Pendleton, .. C. Kirkman; Weston, Kiiiby:C4oldendale, W. T. Koouts; Yakima Inbiau Agency, J. H. Wilbur, Thos. Pearne and Geo. Waters; Yak ima City, IT. M. Shafer. Walla Walla, Aug 15. Harvesting is progrcsins very favorably. Many ranches yield over fifty bushels of wheat to the acre. Nothinir will prevent an unparalleled crop. We shall have, at the lowest calculation, 1,500,000 bush els of wheat for exp.'rr. "notice. Land Office at Dalles, Ohecon, August 17th. 1879.
