Cinnabar Mink. We take the following
from an exchange, which will be of Interest to
many nf the old stockholders of the mine:
"The Oregon Cinnabar and Silver Mining Com
pany have had their works, north of Oakland,
Douglas county, in operation for the lut three
tr four weeks, and on Friday of lut week clean
ed upa portion of the condensors and obtained
ayield of 500 pounds of quicksilver. This ii
considered a good yield, considering the fur
nace and retort were new and would have to
be coated before any of the metal would go into
the condensors. "

Mr A 8 Patterson and K J McClanahan
turned from lower Sitialaw Monday, Mr Pat
terson informs us that the Hayes party have
constructed a good mountain wagon road for 18
miles, and that they are still working on the
remaining 17 miles, which would bring the
road to tide water. He says that the accounts
of the country have not been overdrawn, and
he really surprised to see such a beautiful
stream of water and harbor. If the $'.2000 al,
ready appropriated by the county will not oo
struct the road to tidewater, we believe the
county court should increase its appropriation
to such an amount m will complete the road to
that point, providing the amount shall not be
over $2,000. The county hu over $9,000 in
the treuury and could well afford to appropri
ate $2000 more to open up and develop that
section of the county.
