It is a fact patent to all that the mount iius for miles around in this vi cinity have never been prospected and it is also known that no better placer mines were ever worked in Oregon than the "Canyon Croek mines," ol Graut County, hence it is safe t' pre dict that at no distaht day the outside world will hear that some ef the most valuable quartz ledges in existence have beon found near this place. B. B. Hancock and others now have very rich rock and only want capital to develop the ledge. The excitement is increas ing and solid men are now turning tln-ir attention to Canyon Creek. There is talk that a bed rock flume put in about ten miles above town and rnn down the creek would no doubt pny. It looks reasonable, as all know that in the time of the -old excitement 18 years ago, here, men left diggings that payd from 610 to SI 5 per day to go to some new camp. The Chinese arc now workina thee fame mines with bedrock Humes and are making plen ty of money as their actions fully tes tify. There is a bright future fur Grant County, and particularly Canyon, Divie, John Day, lk and Granite districts.

If there is a man here who will ktfi'p tho Grant county trade frotr going past this town, Celling is the man. Inland Empire. A bin six-footer was lifting for all he was "worth on a w:ion-wheel, which Wrtstuek, when a liule two-foot mite of humanity, nearly as broad as he was long, and ju.-t out. of long drosses and into pants, with his hands in his pock ets and a swaggering nir, sang out: "Mister do you want me to help you 1 I can iirunt while on lift." Omaha, Ang. 4. Mr. Stewart, a raiiroad contractor, of Blaire, went to seo old man liender to-day at Fremont, and on seeing him he taid, "That's old Bender." Stewart saw old Bender be fore the family left the place in Kansas and knew him well. He has no doubts thtit the prisoner is Bt ndcr. Thoy did notfipcak to Bender about Stewart as it gets him so excited to mention Kansas or the name of Bender t-. him. Crowd? have been to see both the old man and old woman to-day, and he is very excit able, remaining cress and nervous two or three hours ab.uit Kansas. He fre quently asks for a knife and persists that he will not be taken to Kansas alive. Topkka. Kan., Aug. o. The She. id of Oswo, Kansas, has gone after the Bender family, who are to be summon ed to Kansas on a requisition. The question of identity appears to be defi uutely settled. T. B. Merry, the editor of tho In land Empire, will solicit our citi zens for subscriptions to his paper, and we are pleased to say that if they give "Tom." their name they will get the full worth of their mon ey in his paper, as he is ono of the best writers on this coast and intends to tell all about oiu mines and country. Seo notice of "The Two Surgeons." A Shooting scrape took place dowil the river on the 30th of July, but we are glad to stab that no damage was1 done other than the shearing off of a portion of a horse's tail. It seems that A. Ambrose got iingry at Sr Yonator r.ml ot iris repeating" gun out and began shooting at Mr. V Thi'Ce shots were fired but only one took effect, that one took a littlo hair off of the horse's tail. No ar rests were made; hence, we" presume the only expense wili be to Ambrose who will htive to buy more ammu nition. Business' for tho merchants, you see, don 't you see V Fine Beiuues. Mrs. I). N Lu'ctf sent us a box of gooseberries last Monday, of the English variety, that "claps the climax" for taste, size, &c. , and what is stranger they af o about the hrst ones of that variety but what were blighted or nnlldew ed.

Fishor, of Hay Stack Val ley, was in town last Monday and urged the people here to use their efforts to have a road built to th above Valley. No doubt it would pay our citizens and be a great ac commodation to tho settlers of that section. H. C.
