Shelton, who was formerly engaged in business at Rathdrum, has just arrived at Portland from Cosur d'Alene mines, says the OrcgorJan. He states that there are now in Eagle creek between 600 aud 700 men. The weather was very cold when Mr. Shelton left the mines. The snow was about six feet deep iu the valley aud much deeper in the mountains. At present there are only about three claims being worked on Eagle creek. Snow is a great impediment to the opening aud loca tion of claims; and but little effective work can be done until the weather grows waimer and the snow disappears. It is almost im possibel to ob ain lumber to build houses, construct flumes, ect. The ouly lumber that can be procured is sawed by hand, with a whipsaw. Provisions of all kinds are very scarce. Flour was $60 a barrel, and other necessaries of life proportionately dear. On Prichard creek there are about 200 men. But few claims have been located there. Snow shoes are now the only means by which persons can reach these mines or depart from them. Mr. Shelton says the best time to go to thase mines is about the middle of March just before the snow melts. To start earlier is useless and to attempt to reach the mines later iu the season after the snow begins to thaw, is futile. The whole country for miles is in undated by the floods, caused by the melt ing nnw- and those startina in April, or later, would probably not be able to reach the mines until June. Iu most places dig gings, Mr. Shelton says, it is necessary to go down to the bedrock before finding gold. Along Eagle and Prichard creeks gold can be found almost on the surf ice just below the roots of the grass. Even in the moun tains the color can be raised from sur face earth. At present the best rontajio the mines is by way of Rathdrum, a Tftation on the Northern Pacific, twelve miles trom Lake Cceur d'Alene. Across tha lake to the mis sion is thirty miles. From the mission it is twenty miles to Miner's cabin, or Evolu tion; and thence it is eighteen miles over the mountain to the mines, which are in Kootenay county, Idaho, the county seat of which is Rathdrum. Judge Melder of Rathdrum, the probate judge and surveyor of the county, is given as the authority for the situation of the mines, and the distan ces from point to point on the trail. A road has been surveyed from Rathdrum, which is more direct, shortening the dis tance to about forty mile3; ind it is propos ed to open this road aud put on a lino of coaches next summer. Kinss Valley Loige of Qood Templers. At a recent meeting of the Lodge of Good Templers iu Kings Valley, they had a grand supper and a general good time.

Mot the Ordinary Dasart Somewhere in the southwestern part of this state there is a large tract; of country commonly called the Oregon desert. The word desert in its common acceptance means a barren waste, where u Jthing grows and no living; thing can exist. B;ic this Oregon desert is, it sesau,. quits a .li.ler.jn; place from the regulation barren waste. A gentleman who has spent several years in the vicinity of the desert engaged in the stock raising business, say3 it is the best winter rang ; for stock in the state. The only title the tract ha3 to the ni ne of desert is the absence of water, which renders it impossible for cattle to exist there in the summer time. The soil is very good in many places, and nearly the entire tract produces a luxurious crop of bunch grass, which is left to miture aud dry. In the winter when the snow falls cittle are driven on this so-called desert in bfrge numbers. They find abundant fodder in the dry grass, and the snow supplies the place of witer, and the low-spreading juniper trees form a fine shelter during storms. In fact, the safest place for stock in winter is out on the desert, just where one would naturally suppose that a speedy death from starvation awaited them. In a few years, when ar tesian wells have been bored iu this desert, much of it will become good farms, aud the boundaries of the cattle range will grow smaller and smaller. About seven or eight o'clock in the morn ing of Dec. 28th. last one B. F. Rathmell committed suicide effected with a pistol shot, in the Thompson hotel in Salem. He was about 40 years old and a druggist. The Trouble WiUt Oregon. This is a fruit couutry, but it is producing only as much fruit as its uses required 10 years ago. it is a potato country, but the potato product has not increased with the increased consumption. It is a dairy coun trv. but there has been no increase in the production of butter to correspond with the larger demand. It is a cattle country but the herds have diminished rather than increased under a demand hitherto un known, and beef is as high here as in New York. We might run through the whole list of our products with similar results. Nothincr is abundant but wheat. Farmers have a craze about wheat and grow it at loss, to the neglect of far more profitable crops. No note h is been t iken by thein of the enormously increased demand in thi city and at all the towns of Oregon am Washington for fruits, vegetables, meats, eggs and dairy products, and in consequence we have the dearest market iu the United States for every article of food except flour only. No country can produce all these thiuas better than our own. The profit of producing them at prices much less thau those now prevaliug will still be very large. Neglect to produce them is the greatest drawback the country now suffers. What is the use of talking ab ut the need of starting manufacturing enterprises when in a country so well fitte I for agricultural products we don't even raise our own peas and potatoes and eggs command 40 to 50 cents a dozen ? Portland Telegram. SHERIFF'S SALE. What Egg Will Do. ror burns a,.a seal Is nothing is more soothing than the white of an egg, which may be poured over the wound. It is softer as a varnish for a bum than collo dian, and, being always at haud, can be applied. It is mors cooling than the sweet oil and cotton which was supposed to be the surest application to allay the smarting pain. It is the contact with the air which gives the extreme discom fort experienced from the ordinary acci dent of this kind, and anything that ex cludes the air and preve its inflammation is the tiling to be at once applied. The egg is considered one of the best of rem edies for dysantry. Beaten tip lightly, with or without sugar, and swallowed at a gulp, it tends, by its emollient qualities, to lessen the iuflammatiuu of the stomach and intestines, and, by forming a transient coating ou these organs, to euable nature to resume the healthful sway over a diseas ed body. Two, or at most three eggs per, day would be all that is required iu ordinary cases; and since egg is not merely med icine, bat food as well, the lighter the diet otherwise and the quieter the patient is kept, the more certain and rapid is the recovery. The Oregonian of the 7th says; " Two murders within a single day and three within a week make a had showing abroad lor Oregon. rs it surprising that ihs east ern prragraphers are beginning to nuit us wic.i Texas and the Black Hius? Scarcity a day passes without its tragedy in auiUti part ol the northwest.

No other part of tne country, not eveu L'exas, luiuu.es no ir.au v tragic reports. A little judicious hangiug is needed to worli a reform."
