" W. K. Price, who came over from the Camp Creek country a short time ago, brought over some fine specimens of quartz from tho "Young America" lead, owned by Watkins & Co., of this city. They were liken from the lead about 38 or 40 feet down and are of a dark blue and white color, resembling very much the ore taken from the Monumental and Ruby mines. Tho company in this city think they have a big bonanza, and! intend to prosecute the work on the shaft until all doubt aa to its richness are removed. It now assays about 320 per tori, and the rock is constantly growing better. An experienced blaster was ssnt over last week, who will at once com mence work on the shaft, using giant powder instead of the common blasting powder which has formorly boon used in those ijriuci. .

Tour young men were examined for the position by a committee and he came out first best. In a standard of 400 he gain ed a percentage of 319. The Committee re commended tho victorious youth to apply himself studiously during the remainder of the time at lib disposal as he was somewhat deficient in arithmetic, history and geogra phy. In orthography and penmanship he Btood 95 in each. Mr. Odeneal will start immediately overland for the academy, as he Is compellod to appear there for examination on the 28th inst. We wish him success. . Oar tall Direr. - The Alden Fruit Dryer in this city com menced operations last Tuesday and is now rauning on plural For this kind of fruit Linn county can beat the world, and the Aldon company will preserve large quantities of it. Apples, pears, pumpkins, squashes, etc., will also bo worked up in their season. These dryers are of such great benefit to the communities in which they are located that we would like to see them put up in every town in our countyU As soon as farmers find "they have a market for their fruit our orchards (which are now sadly neglected) will be well taken care of, and we will then have the lwftt fruit in the world. ,. i . . The Durance TUe. ; Audy Dwyer, a hotel waiter who worked several months in this city, has come to. grief. One day last week he stole his room- muto s clothes in Oregon City and the Re corder scut him to jail for twelve days. When he stepped in this city he was nice young man; wore a paleut shirt frout, paste dinmoml breast-pin, and was an object of considerable attention to the night-watchman and marshal. He would make a first- class brick-maker, aad'we think it very likely hq will learn' that trade yet at the Htnte's expense. s , , . The Slerln Hrldae , The contract for building the Blevina "bridge, on the Cflllapooia near Tangent, has btwo let to Mr. J. D.

He has agreed to hive it ready for use by the 1st or Scptom b3r, as by that time the hauling of wheat will commence in earnest The bridge is to be covered after the style of the one near tbis city and will cost $1,000, half of which U paid by the county, and the other half by the people living in that vicinity.

On account jjif ill health I have had to throw np my petition of superintending the sinking of the shaft on the "Young America" lead, and yesterday arrived in thi city, direct from Camp Creek, "Wasco county. Thinking that perhaps1' some of your readers might wish to hear from the mines I have written a few lines. I left on Friday, the 9th inst, and at that timo everything was quiet at the mines. Every few days some one finds a new lead some rich and some poor and work is being prosecuted - on most of the old ones. The Albany companies have so far been doing most of the work. A few days before start ing for the valley I was over at the Mam moth lead, and found that English Was push' ing things along fast at that place. He was down 53 feet at that time, and had one of the 'prettiest shafts I have ver aeon, i The rook is spotted to some extent, , but seems to be running into silver ore very fast, and we were told that the assays showed that It was con stantly getting richer as the sinking of the shaft progressed. ' '' . "Young America" was about 40 feet deep and was going dowd at the rate of about one foot per day. As the rock is very hard it re quired a great deal of blasting to work this lodge. Hardly any spots are found in tho quartz taken from this ledge, silver running through all of it. Assays made the day be fore I left show that the ore now being taken : out will average about $30 per ton, and these assays were made from all the different colors ! of quartz which could be fouucL The ledge is now about two feet wide, and widening all the time. ... - Story & Hitchcock have put up a good building just below Hackleman's ranche and are keeping a first-class restaurant, where a hungry miner can get s square meal just aa cheap as he can in this valley. Besides that he can always get the latest mining news from' them.-', r v r ? f'"'' s Just before I came away Jerry Winter; an old citizen of this place, discovered a new lead on Clover Creek, about eight miles from the "soap boles, Which assayed t24 in gold. Hon. Tom Cornelius has just completed his preparations, and will commence imme diately sinking a shaft on the "Dutch Chief," a lead lying close to the "Young America," He lias the best mining outfit in that camp, and his lead prospects well p t - - The machinery at the "aoap holes had been running for about ten days and Beveral tests had been made, but tho rosults had not been made public when I left From the smiling countenances which some of the officers of the company wore I would suppose that they liaa been successful. Wendell 4 Co. have let tlif contract for sinking a DO-foot shaft on tho Greenhorn ledge to Griffin ft Jackson. .This ledge was the first one discovered in that district . I cannot say too much in praise of Prof. Hurley. He is the man who has held this camp together. A grtat many persons, for some cause or other, have been fighting this camp ever since the first discovery was made, and have circulated reports defaming the character of the Professor, - However he still maintains that the district is rich in sd- ver, and proposes to stake his honor and his reputation as an assayer upon the issue. No one in Silver Wells District has the confi dence of the people In that ' community to such any extent as $h Professor. - He ia a whole-souled gentleman and generous to a fault, as'many a poor miner can testify. 1 .

He found the prisoners all in the cell, aud upon being interrogated as to what had caused the noise, they said they had heard nothing of it . But as they all liad their clothing on it looked rather sus picious, and the Sheriff concluded he had Iwtter look around a little. After going back iuto the front room ho soon found out what had happened... Tho prisoners'' had cut through the walla of their cell a'tid the brick partition, the lower part of the cut being just even with the ilooT. when they had cut entirely through the partition they came to the baseboard of the front room, and as day was already dawning and they had no time to cut tho board off, they undertook to kick it loose. This caused tho noiso which awakenod the Sheriff and put a stop to everything. The cell which tho prisoners occupied ia built of boards laid fiat upon each other and spiked, and through thu the nriaoners cut with a common jack-knife. Thoy had baeii at work for several days, putting the. splinters and', brick in a trunk, and keeping tho trunk up against tho hole when any of the officers were around.

Capital Mining rompituy.

Wright, A. N. Gilbert, Ed Ilirsuh, Miles Bell aud Governor a F. Chadwiek. At a meeting of the Di rectors, held subsequently, J. G. Wright was elected President, J. II. Haas, Secretary, and J. J. Murphy, Treasurer. - The stock holders aro well pleased with what has been done during the past year aud the Directors have decided to immediately commence work again. Tho shaft that was abandoned because of the surface water, will be sunk deeper, thus enabling tho company to thoroughly prospect their possession. Tho Directors have also concluded to send the ton of ore, recently brought down from the mine, to Colorado to be thoroughly tosted, so that the best process can thuif be ascertained for saving the gold, Bilvcr and copper which is known to exist in the ore. As soon as this question is settled a mill will be bought and put in operation at the mine. The ftceortt says that from present appearances this mine promises to be one of the best iu the State, and tliflt in view of the steps being taken by the company to push forward tho work, that Reed A Cox have advanced stock Jaeld-hy them for sale to 25 cents a slmro, which is a rise of loOjcr cent, over last quotations.

In tho first place, iu packinff fi-uit never mix poor and choice lots together. If you havo two qualities of fruit, pack and mark each S8tarately and sell on their merits. In tlie next place "never top oil your fruit, that is, nice Appearing fruit, when the pack age is opened and the bottom tilled with low, worthless trash, or a low grade fruit. Manv instances of this kind have oomo under our notice, and it is to the discredit of any packer engaging in sucn a course. Always let the face of tlie fruit be a fair index of the aver- ure nimhtv throuirhnnt tha hnx ar hnrnu. In the second place, actual tare should in variably be allowed on all packages. We have frequently seen boxes that weighed nine pounds only tared five pounds. Purchasers of dried fruit, as a rule, are not willing to pay for wood at the rate of seven to fourteen cents a poumd. Mark olainlv on each nsekaire tlie actual gross, tare and net, and it is always well to mark shipper's initials also. Consignees' name or address is not necessary. in the third place, never, under any con sider?) tion resort to the practice ot wetting your fruit, if it is intended for sale in this market. Dealers have made very grievous complaint of Oregon dried- apples which had been submitted to a "soaking" process just before packiuir, and several eases are kuown to us M'here apples in this condition have fer mented, soured and proved a total loss. No. gentleman, put water in your whisky, if you will, but give us our dried apples clear. Our long experience in nandlimi dried j fruit, and our knowledge of the wants aud i requirements of dealers, has given rise to thee suggestions, which we hope will be kindly received. I remain yours truly, U'lTLEFIKLD, WEBB ft CO. A Ploaeer Dead.
