Tae Cow d'Alene Mines.
Mr. M R. 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.

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

Scarcity a day passes without its tragedy
