Postmistress Collins filed the nec essary bonds with the department, which were accepted, and she has on hand he necessary supply of blanks for making out money orders. The City & Suburban Railway Company has kept a force of men at work on the Mount Tabor branch, east of Sunnyslde, for several weeks, taking up the light and putting down 60-pound rails. That branch will be provided with these heavy rails through to the summit. Dr. Wellington H. Boyd, a well-known physician of the East Side, Is still at St. Vincent's Hospital with dropsy.

The eastern portion of Crook Gounty Is coming to the front as an important mining center, according to J". S. Patter son, who is Interested In the Eldorado quartz mine, on Lookout Mountain. Mr. Patterson, who was at the Perkins yes terday, said the Eldorado showed a solid ledge of quartz 65 feet thick, at a depth of 200 feet, and this mass of ore assays from $2 50 to $7 per ton In free gold. A stamp mill will be put up on the property next Summer, and arrangements will be made to run the mine nlght,and day. The district lies east of Prlnevllle some GEN. ARTHUR CIGARS IN, HOLIDAY PACKAGES AT ALL DEALERS 30 miles, and Is about 20 miles square In area, and the bedrock Is neither basalt nor granite. A kind of decomposed quartz and limestone underlie a considerable por tion of the region, which Is a spur of the Blue Mountains. Quite a number of prom ising ledges were worked on In the vicin ity last Summer, and there are good op portunities for energetic prospectors to make valuable strikes yet, as the district has been overlooked, while rushes were Deing made to less promising neias. Plicer mining has been carried on suc cessfully for years In the northern por tion of the district, and a great deal of gold has been taken out with very little noise. If the locality were 3000 miles away and hard to get at, Mr. Patterson thinks .there would have been a good deal said about It. but It Is too close to civili zation. He mentions one man. Bob Cannon, who last Summer took out $30,000 In IS days by a single process of .ground sluicing, obtaining water from Birch Creek, a tributary cf the John Day River. The gold was mostly coarse, very little at tention being paid to the finer particles. Cannon being a stockralser and not post ed In the details of mining. "If this epl-' sode had occurred in Alaska," Me. Pat terson said, "the news would have been heralded far and wide by telegraph, but as It only happened within 70 miles of Sha"niko, the terminus of a railroad In Central Oregon, very little has been said about It. Cannon now has a system of pipes and afourinch monitor In position on the property, and will work it to bet ter advantage next year. The bank Is shallow and the distance to bedrock Is not more than three or four feet, so that a proper system of giants will uncover a great deal of surface In a season. A Cape Times correspondent has inter viewed Mrs. Dewet, wife of the Boer General. She said: "You Englishmen will never catch my husband. He Is going to win back for the Free-Staters what they have lost. He has enough food and ammunition to last for three years, and that Is Just how long the war is going to last."
