BLUE RIVER PLACERS.
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.

Lthat the parties wives had a misunder-
standing, when they appealed to their

both came to Kugene to have the pros-

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.

A Goon Idea. At tho meeting of
tho Knglne Company one month ago, 16
was decided to offer the sum of $2.60 as
a prize to the member proposing the

ing lust night for membership. Kdis
Matlock won the prize, handing In 10
reposals, all or whom were eiecieu.

Oh, Com Orr. The Junction City
Time, independent republican, in it laat
issue, say: "Tbe Begister think the
judge is Ibe proper party to decide whether
a man i unfit to bo confined in jail. Ob,
oom off, neighbor. It is tb judge' duty
to pas upon law point, sentence the guil
ty and there bis authority end. Th idea
of a judge inspecting th sanitary condition
of a county jail or diagooaing th inmate is
too ridunalon to entertain even in election
tim."
CORRECT. Kalem Statesman: The
fees of the county clerks and sheriffs in
Oregon are too high. The place to re
form this ortkT of things Is in the leg
islature. The clerk or sheriff who will
not charge the fees the laws allow has
not yet bven found, and we have no
hope of meeting such a man in this
world and, the reader will no doubt
add,, probably not in the next.
