One of the most beautiful quarts
specimens ever exhibited in this city
was on display at the First National
Hank for a short time yesterday. It
w as an eighty pound piece of quart,
that was taken from the placer mine
of Hines & Brown at Mule Gulch dur
ing the placer season last year. The
piece of quarts was literally studded
with gold having in sight about $200.
What the piece was valued at was not
learned. For beauty, it excelled any
thing that has yet been brought to
this city. Canyon City Eagle.

No. i gave the bull of the season and
it was the largest ever held in Prine
villa. One hundred and ten numbers
wore sold and the boys netted $02.75.
This is a good thing for the boys as it
aida them to get uniforms and many
othei little necessities about the com
pany headquarters. The musio was
pronounced by those present to bo best
that the dancers of Priueville have

G. M. Cornell has purchased the
livery stable and feed yard business of
A. 8. Philips and took possession to
day, Ho has also purchased the feed
yard just south of his stable, which

ing to the large livery and feed busi
ness done in Shaniko. Mr. Cornell is
well versed in the livery business,
and his large investments show flat
tering confidence in the future of
Shaniko. Mr. Phillips has made
many friends while iu Shaniko, and
we hope to see him soon re-engage in
business in our city. Shaniko Lead
er. A.. Ferrara has returned from an
extended journey over Eastern Ore
gon. He has been a resident of Port
land for 40 years, and in business
most of the time, and so had never
had a chance to see thej country east
of the .mountains. He finally con
cluded that he would like to see what
kjad of a country Oregon is, and so
struck out, and spent threo mouths
traveling at his leisure, and has been
over the greater' portion of the state,
and is delighted, with what he saw,
and says Oregon is a great country.
Oregonian.
E. H. Smith, the harness man, and
Nick French are said to be the
champion drivers of this county. Mr.
Smithhas had many trials of his
driving powers while Mr. French has
been handling the ribbons over one of
Mac Cornett'a craek stage teams for
some time. Last Sunday Mr. Smith
took his wife out fur a drive behind a
pair of spirited colts and going down
the valley met the stage with French
on the drivers seat. In attempting
to pa-s they both turned the wrong
way and the consequences were that
the tongue of the stage connected
with the top of the Smith buggy and
tore it completely off at the seat
frightening Mrs. Smith badly and do
ing considerable damage to the rig.
Hereafter they intend taking a
trumpet along ,and when sighting the
stage, if French is driving, they will
blow a blast that will be the envy of
Gabriel and then come to a dead stop
until the stage is past.
What is tlie Dialler With Our
County Court?
We have been looking in vain
for two months expecting to see,
and anxious for the contractor to
commence repairing the bridge
across Crooked river near the
mouth of Newi-om creek.
We have school children lio
live across the river from the echoed
hou.-e. The river ic unsafe for
children to ford, and the bridge is
unHiife and lias been condemned
for four months past.
We elected a county court to
look after the welfare of the travel

back and wibh we had a county
cjprt that would do their duty.
and show favoritism to no individ

public at large. We do i.ot wish
to complain without cause. Win

a bridge, and il in a great inc ,n
