A prominent Portland mining man
who is now in the Pine Creek mines,
writes to a friend as follows: says the
News. A shaft forty feet deep has
been sunk in the Union mine. The
ledge is found to be much wider than
was at first supposed, and the ore 01 a
better quality. The Whitman mine
has been bonded for $40,000. The
ledge is wide and rich. There seems
to be no tnd to the mineral wealth of
the mines, and new discoveries, some
very rich, are being made daily. A
new mill will shortly be erected at Cor
nucopia. On Tuesday, of last week, a barn on

harness, a saddle, and all his agricult
ural implements with the exception of
a self-binder and wagon which he suc
ceeded in getting out. His little boy
had found some matches in the barn;
that are supposed to have been left by
a tramp, and tried them to see if they
were good, with the result stated.
A Well twelve hundred feet.
Work,is proceeding steadily on W.
S. Ladd's artesian well, back of East

now down about 1200 feet and is in a
stratum of red sand. It will be remem
bered that at the depth of 750 feet the
top of a tree was struck. After boring
400 feet the butt of the tree was
struck and a piece of soft rock brougrn
up, the face of vhich is hollowed 10
correspond to the sha;e oi a tree, anu
bears the marks of the bark. On some
of the stones brought up are the im
print of fern leaves. A little above a
stratum of cobble stones was passed
through. The soft rock in which the
stump of the tree was found, is much
like the beach at Yaciuina, in which
the rock oysters are found. Mr. Ladd
says the tree must have been 400 feet
in height, and crooked, so that after
the drill passed the top it did not
touch the tree again till it struck the
butt The geologist will be able from
a study of the different strata passed 1
