Plenty of Gold and Water to Work It In Laue County. Dally Uuard, Mar 21. Win. Austin arrived In Kugeno last night from Blue River with a sample of black sand taken from the settling box on the placer mining claim owned by himself and D. B. llamblin. The claim is In the forks between Simmons creek and Blue River. A dam on the former gives them 2500 Inches of water with 30 feet of full in forty rods. An eight Inch pipe Is used and a two and one-half inch nozzle. This gives them about twice the amount of water neces sary and they propose to give tho bol ance of the power to some one who will put In a ten-stamp mill at tho base of the mountain to crush ere taken from the numerous ledges opened above. Below the rl files iu their sluice they have a false bottom which catches the remainder which an undercurrent takes to the settling box below and the tailings are run Into Blue river. The sand brought in will be taken to Port hind and assayed and If as rich as ex pected water will be turned Into the settling-box and a series of supplement ary sluices built below. On this claim are about 15 acres of the same dirt. Tho sand was examined by several old miners this morning among them Cupt. Rogers who estimated It $1,000 to tho ton, considerable free gold being plainly vlsiblo to the naked eye. As this Is a part which Is generally thrown away It only adds one more proof that great developments will make that one of tho most noted mill ing districts of the country. Tbe R. C. Young. For th first tim since June, 1879, the shore of the Willamette hero echoed back the (brill whistle of a steamboat Saturday evening. Th boat was the R. C. Yonng, a neat oraft of 75 tons capaolty owned at Corvallii. She has powerful machinery and experienced no trouble in reaching Eu gene, fluding plenty of water. Two day were ooniomed in making th trip from Corvallii, bet th rnn would consum one and one-blf days ordinarily. On thio trip large lot of freight had to be bandied at way points. A large number of people visited the visi tor and received courteous treatment from ibe captain, J. II. Dove. He informs ns that the trip was mads to Engeos to dem onstrate the capability of the navigation of the upper Willamette, and to encourage appropriations for tbe removal ol obstaoles in tbe channel. The Yonng started down In the afternoon with a few hundred bushels of oat from 8. II Friendly and after proceeding about four milis, struok a hidden snag, tearing a bol in the bottom. Capt. Dove then safely landed her on a bar farther down where she now lie in an easy position, the guards be ing about sixteen inches above water. Th captain came to town today, seoured jack screw, and will bare ber afloat in a few day. It is lo be regretted that this accident occurred on her first trip op lbs river. Peoples' Party Speaking.

It appears Lthat the parties wives had a misunder- standing, when they appealed to their respective husbands to settlo me uim culty. The men went at it with a vim using clubs, rocks, etc., and each re vived badlv bruised craniums. They both came to Kugene to have the pros- ecutlnir attorney arrest the other, uoiu claiming to be in the right. Alter con siderable narleylna they concluded that about the proper thing to do was to each plead guilty to simple assault, which tney did, tills morning before Justice Kinsey, and were fined $3 and costs each, which they liquidated and returned to their homes on tho cele brated MoKciule. r Mask Torn On.

A -PROBABLY FATAL FALL. W, B. Young Has a Narrow Escape rrom Instant Death. Thursday's Portland Dallv Teles-ram: W. Benson Younir and wife rvirlster- ed at tho ijuinihy house yesterday af ternoon from Kugeno and were as signed a room on the fourth floor in the back part of tho building. Mrs. Young went away during the dav and her husband went out for a good 'time, it being his first day In town for somo time. Young returned to tho hotel about midnight, and after lingering around for some time attendants showed him to his room. Ho was considerably the worse oil from over-indulgence In var iety show whisky, but it was thought he would be able to retire himself, so no more attention was paid him. Not hlmr was heard of Youmr until between 2:30 and 8 o'clock this morn ing, when his limn body was found in the back yard within six Inches of a picket fence. Had he struck this he would of been impaled, and tills would probably havo Is-en a mortuary, In stead of an accident notice. Youmr had evidently fallen from tho window whllo leaning out In an attempt to re lieve his stomach from Its liquid load. The Injured man was Immediately removed to Good Samaritan hospital, where it was found that besides a frac tured shoulder-blade he had sustained a communited fracture of tho rlirht thigh. Inquiry at tho hospital early this afternoon elicited the reply that while Young's case is regarded as criti cal he Is getting along nicely, and If he is not internally injured, will recover. YOUMO IN A CRITICAL CONDITION. Today's Oresonian say: W. B. Youno. the young man who jumped out of a fourth lory window from the Quimby Home at an early house yesterday morning is very low. ii is at tne uood Samaritan noapltsl and it is not tbonght that he can possibly recover. At a late boar last nignt his condition ws suoh that death would not surprise bis friends or the attending physician at any time. His right leg Is broken be low the knee, and both sTiouh er blades are dislocated. In addition to these injuries he is Injured internally. Mr. Young's father is a well-known and Influential stockman living near Ku gene. In For Adultery. Portland Dispatch, May 10. Today, In the nollce court, tho names of A. I), Hubbell, of Grant's Pass, and Lou Kesley, of Junction City, were called, and a complaint read charging them with adultery. The facts in the case we know nothing of. The State was not ready for examination and asked for a continuance untlll tomor row. We learn from what could be ricked up here and there that Mr. lubbcll is an old locomotive engineer, having; followed it all his life. He Is said to be one of tho very best In this country at his calling. lie has been In the service or the Southern i'acltlc.and was the engineer In charge of the train which brought President Harrison to Portland. It is said he resides at Grants Pass, and has grown-up chil dren. We could learn nothing con cerning the lady who Is charged with the crime with him. J n ail probabili ty, the case will end as all other cases usually end iu a failure to prove the charge alleged; for Jealousy is at the very bottom of all such cases. It is us ually a jealous-hearted wife, who feeds her minu with the heller that she lias been wronged. Tiik Speakers. Roseburg Iluvlew: Much enthusiasm has been aroused throughout the coun ty by the democratlo speeches made during the post week. Hon. R. M. Veatch addressed the citizens of Oak land and vicinity on Thursday after noon. Thursday evening Capt. Geo. W. Bell delivered a most excellent ad dress to a large assemblage here, ex tended report of which appears else where In this paper. On Friday af ternoon Hon. Walton 8klpworth spoke In Oakland, and on Saturday afternoon Senator Veatch reviewed the nolitlcal situation In a tine speech at Drain. All these addresses were list ened to by large and appreciative au diences, ana throughout iiiem an pre vailed a feeling which shows that the Dconle are breaking away from the methods and practices of the republi can party ami are determined to elect men to office who will give tliem relief from Iniquitous tariff taxation and all other forms or class legislation.
