On account of the recent amendment to

The Salem Statesman properly says:
Everybody should discourage the cry of hard
times. Look at the bright side of
things for a while. Tell your neighbor that
times are good, and the country prosperous.
Don't be afraid of the future. In this state
it can't be worse than the past. It is bound
to be better, and if you sit idly by and let
others sow the seed, others will reap the
harvest, and you will still be crying hard
times in times of the must abundant pros
perity; The French newspapers can teach Ameri
cans lessons in the art of booming circula
tion. The Paris Gaulois, as an inducement
to yearly subscribers, promises to pay a sum
of 3,0(.O francs to the heirs of any subscriber

may be temporarily injured and can produce

al parties have lately returned to Nogales

gold quartz specimens, and the general im
pression is that the easap is bound to be a
good one.
We are in constant receipt of the Tacoma
Daily Ledger, which is an 8 page 6 column
paper. It is a good paper, and the proper
amount of exertion and money expended
will make such a p par anywhere, but the
interesting point is the e terprUe of a new
town that sustains so great an under
taking. The status of the newspapers of
Taeoma is the best evidence yet shown of
the substantial growth and prosperity of
that city.
Joseph Drake, one of the murderers of
David Schwartz, was hanged at Salem last
Friday, at 1 p. m., by Sheriff Minto. The
execution was accomplished without any
mishap, and Drake's neck was broken by
the fall. The scaffold was erected at the
northeast corner of the Court House, and
only a few spectators were admitted, though
Drake could be seen from the outside nntil
the trap was sprung. The body was cut
down iu twenty minutes and given to his
friends for burial. He went to his doom
with a firm s-ep .and without assistance,
aud on the "brink of the grave" protested
his innocence to the last.
An important discovery has recently been
made which adds another feature to Ore
gon's great resources, says the Portland
Standard. A large and apparently inex
haustible body of ccal was found last fall
within 100 miles of Portland, samples of
which were sent East for analysis. Reports
received yesterday pronounce it anthracite
coal. Geologists have contended that no
such coal existed in this part of the world;
that the coal here was lignite and that
ages of time would have to pass before it
would become anthracite. The fact of its
discovery, however, proves that in one case
the geologist are in error. C. D. Folger, of
this city, has large interests- in this new
bonanza from which millions are expected.
A NINETEEN OUNCE NTJOQET.
1 Murray Sun.
A sensation was created late Thursday
afternoon by the news that an immense
chunk. of gold had been 'found on Porter &
Henderson' Gillette claim, a mile below
Murray. The report was brought to town
by one of the men working on the claim,
but as the nugget did not come up during
the evening many were inclined to discredit
However, Mr. Porter gave all doubters an
opportunity to convince themselves by a
sight and heft of the piece Tuesday morn
ing. It was found to be irregular in shape,
nearly four inches long, two and a half wide
aud one in thickness, and weighed nineteen
ounces, twelve pennyweights and eighteen
grains, the largest nugget ever found in the
Cceur d' Alene mines. It can-it s some
quartz, which will piobably amount to an
ounce, while tMe gold is oi bright yellow,
with no rusty staius, and is well rolled.
It was struck twice with a pick and scraped
into a pan with some gravel by a minncr
named Jackson, one of the Jessees of the
ground. He had not proceeded very far in
washing the dirt when he came across the
nugget. For a moment he was bewildered
by its enormous size, then he give a jell
that made the pineries echo for miles, ' and
in the excitement of the moment jumped in
the creek up to his armpits. His compan
ions, hearing the cry rushed to the spot and
found the overjoyed miner struggling up the
bank .with the nugget firmly jclinobed in his
hand. There was a general rejoicing over
the find, and remainder of the dirt panned
ont, which gave another piece of an ounce
in weight and small gold over an ounce,
giving the entire pan a value of 21 ounces
and o7er, the largest amount ever taken out
in oue pan iu the camp of which we have
any record. The Gillette has so far proved
to be our banner claim, and the spring op
ening keeps it in the front rank. Its prev
ious largest nugget weighed 13 ounces,
while a vast number of smaller ones of from
one to ten ounces have been garnered by the
lucky owners.
Up to the finding of the above nugget
Dream gulch had the prestige with 19
ounces, but, as will be seen, the Gillette
piece is nearly half an ounce heavier. The
Myrtle claim on Trail gulch, which has held
the second position in the nugget line, in
the camp, with a 17-ocnce chunk, is now
relegated to the third posi on and Dream
to the second. No doubt we will be called
upon to chronicle further changes as the
season advances.
