Bonanza ! B ullion ! ! Gold Dust ! !’ !
Although winter is still upon us and the
•snow lies thick upon our hills and m oun
tains (we wish the fellow who wrote
“ Beautiful Snow” lived here) it does not
prevent the indomitable energy o f our
mining men from working and developing
our rich bonanzas, and Virtue from run
ning up the proceeds in huge gold and sil
ver bricks.
Tlie Virtue Mine
made another clean-up last week, and
from the proceeds o f eightefays ruff had a
handsome brick o f $5,090,72. This m ine is
in splendid condition; that level north is
in some fifty feet, with body o f ore over 30
inches wide. Cross cuts and winzes now
connect from first to third level, each one
hundred feet, all o f the ore breasts on the
several levels are looking and yielding
well. Mr. Hyde, Sup’t., estimates enough
ore now in sight to run m ill for eighteen
months, at the rate o f 600 tons per m onth;
average value o f ofe per ton $25,50—315,300;
cost o f extracting, milling, wear and tear,
Ac., $9,60—35,760; leaving nett profit per
month o f $9,540 on 600 ton o f ore. The Mill,
Machinery and Hoisting Works are o f the
best, and the mine is in good condition for
extracting ore cheaply.
Connor Creek M ill anti M ining Co.
On last Friday this company put in their
appearance with 371 ounces of bullion, out
of which Mr. Virtue made a beautiful bar-
valued at SC,141 25; 815 line, gold—with
$1,212 previous sent in, makes'for months
run $7,353 25. The Ledge is from 6 to 14
feet wide, with face in ore of line grade.

night. The average clean up during the
summer will he about $7,600 per month.

Green's Discovery,
Rye Valley, is increasing in richness as the
main drift is extended. This is a silver
mine and bonanza of the first grade. A
large amount of selected ore is now on
dump and in the mill awaiting the crush
ing process.
Tlie Cabell Mine.
Good progress is being made. A new
engine and boiler has been put up. and 8
stamps are kept pounding day and night.
Our Bank received 200 ounces two weeks
ago, and Mr. C. expects, by the 10th inst.,
to clean up some 400 ounces more. The
ledge Is eight feet wide, and the bullion
runs 375 fine in gold, and 595 fine in silver,
and averages $157 per ton. This mine is
looked upon as the Great-Bonanza of Eas
tern Oregon.
MeCoril Mine,
six miles from Baker, is turning out from
$60 ito $75 per day, and is only worked by
rocker and hand mortar; pocket ledge
white quartz, carrying free gold worth
$18,48 per ounce (it would dazzle the eyes
o f the Bulletin editor to examine the
quartz). We will have more to say about
this mino when fqrtber developments are
made.
Many other quartz mines are being pros
pected, both in this, Grant and Union
Counties, preparatory to putting up mills
and machinery the com ing Summer.
Our Placer Mines
Will be very extensively worked tho pres
ent season. The prospects are flattering
for an abundant supply o f water, and our
miners are jubilant over the rich harvest
o f gold-dast they are sure to reap. Baker
County has great reason to be proud o f its
rich mineral wealth, good miners, thrifty
farmers, and rich agricultural and grazing
lands.
W hat W e W ant.
Our friends in each mine and mining
camp to keep us posted on all mining mat
ters, we want correct information. Our
best efforts will, as heretofore, be used in
building up the great mining and other in
terests of Eastern Oregon. We want Cap
italists, Mechanics, Farmers, Miners and
others abroad to know what a good country
wo have, we want them to come and exam
ine i$r themselves. Our paper has a large
circulation in Qalifornia, Nevada, Utah and
the Eastern States, the people read it,, we
have only to give correct information of our
resources and they will come.

E d it o r D e m o c r a t :— Owing to our im
perfect knowledge o f the mines in ques

City, and six miles from that point, is
Was.3iii.uyton Gulcli,
'■which has been prospected from the mouth
to uear the head, some four or five miles,
and found to contain some rich streaks
and deposits. It has been worked to some
extent for many years, the results being
gopd in almost every claim ; mining here
here has been done, however, on g, very
•mall scale, being necessarily lim ited on
account o f the small run o f water. We be
lieve that C. St. Louis * Co., intend open
ing their claim this season in a more com
plete and mjner-like manner than has
been pursued heretofore, heuce we may
expect a good report from this section this
season. Something over a mile further on
lies
Riiiii* Gwlcll,
which has also been worked for some
years on a small scale, except at the mouth
where Mr. Dan Carn works on a som e
what extensive scale, using the tim e-hon
ored hydraulic pipe and hose with gratify
ing results. The rest o f the gulch is near
all in the hands o f the “ Heathen Chinee,”
the result o f whose labor is never known
by “ outside barbarians,” for it is kept a
profound secret, and the “ shiners” which
they unearth never again see daylight,

OXIR FORT SUMPTER LETTER.
F ort S umpter , O regon , March 28,1875.
J. M. S hepherd —D ear S i r :— Pursuant to
$ promise made some time ago, I herewith
enclose a few items from this place, design
ed for publication. Although there is but
little transpiring here of interest at present,
yet I fully believe that before long, the min
ing interests of this section, will assume
considerable importance; and without troub
ling you unnecessarialy, T shall undertake
to keep you posted from time to time as to
what is going on in this vicinity.
Fort Sumpter has been subjected during
the past winter, to a more severe bombard
ment, from the combined forces of jack frost
and general enow storms than was ever
known before in jts eventful history; yet it
has survived the shock in an excellent state
ot preservation, Tlig enow iu the vicinity
o f this plape is four feet deep, while in the
adjoinning mountains it reaches the depth
of ten and twelve feet.

pecting their ledges, near the head of Pow
reason his credentials were not received
as p r i m a f a c i e proof o f his election. It
was Moribn who had him self objected to
them : and it was the same Morton who,
in Pinchback’s case, has elaborately argu
ed that p r i m a f a c i e credentials should
always seat the holder. It was the old
primer story o f the lawyer who decided
for or against, as soon as he knew whose
ox was gored. Wei 1 might Senator Av byte

that he blushed with shame at the - latest
page of American history
A n English physician hss called attention
to the incautious use of a homoeopathic med
icine known under various names, but which
j^a saturated solution of camphor in spirit.
The solution is said to be in very general
use as a domestic remedy for colds and oth
er trifling ailments, and iu poisonous poten
cy is quite equal to the prussic acid of the
pharmacopoeia, and more than four times
as powerful as an equal quantity ot lauda
num. Yet it is sold 111 large bottles, and not
even labelled as poison. In some cases
there is not even so much as a direction as
to the dose- From fifteen to twenty-five
drops, and in some instances as much as a
teaspoonful, have been taken. The results
have been, in addition to the local symp
toms o f irritation of the throat and stomach,
violent epileptic convulsions and apoplectic
stupor, followed i the case of one previous
ly healthy young lady by one-sided palsy,
which continued for several weeks. If a
large portion of the poison . had not been
speedily ejected by vomiting, it is probably
that death would have resulted in more than
one instance.
A n e w religious sect was recently started
in Charleston, Mass. The cardinal points
of the doctrine are a strictly vegetable diet,
mortification of the body, and free love.
James Wenzell, Charles S. Manchester and
their wives, constituted the membership,
and the community was established in a ten
ement. The mortification o f the body prac
tically consisted of pinching and striking
themselves, wearing insufficient clothing,
and fading. One day Wenzel and Manches
ter, after prayerfully considering the sub
ject, decided that Mrs. Wenzel needed more
mortification to fit her for spiritual perfect
ion. So they shaved her head, cut off parts
of her clothing, and whipped her brutally
with stair rods. She at once became a b'ack
slider from the new religion, had her assail
ants arrested, and the community is likely
to be blasted.
