DB. SMITH'S STOltY, Dr. E. O. Smith has been inter viewed by the Oregonian and tells the following story about trio uis coverv ol gold in me sanuum The first excitomont was in lao'J, a silver craze, and a town sprang up but went down. In 1800 with Jas and D. II Smith he began prospec tine and in the .spring of 1SG1 reached tho present siteot Amdera In 1SG2 at Salem he dreamed of having bis pockets full of gold and went back and prospected again. Again he dreamed of Ioca ting a rich lead. He followed up the dream aud knocked off $300 in cold at once, and ho located the lute Bull. Jerry Driggs was there at tho time, also a Scotchman named McDonald. Thev went to work on Smith's claim, which he called the Drigg, and says they took out 17,000 from top rock Tho excitement set in, a road was built in at an expense of $20,000, and a 5-stamp mill put up. It was leased to salmon JJros., ol l'ortland, who took out $65,000 in gold. The mill was burned in the spring of 18G-5 or 1SG6, and after that nothing was done until recent' ly, when tho Lawler Co. bonded this and other mines and went to work. Smith received the prem mm lor toe urst gold found in quartz in the Cascade mountains, consisting of two Indian horses. St. Helens Mist, Hep: Only few days ago the Oregonian said any man wno lavored silver was a pop puiist. In tho same paper last luesday this statement occors: '"In a year from now, however the presidential election cue., the United Stales in practically cure lo ue republican." The Oregonian appear a little inconsistent upon this point. Since that papor hai denominated as populiBls Senators Carter and Mantle of Montana, Teller and Wolcott of Colorado. Perkins of California, Mitchell of Oregon, Squire and Wilson of Washington, Dubois and Shoup of maim, ana jour senators from , rr. i r.. i. juiumg uuu uwii. inese were all electod by tho republicans and are still republicans notwithstand ing the Oregonan' efforts to read them out ol the party. But if the above named senators are populists as claimed by tho Oregonian, then in order for the next senate to he republican that parly must elect 21 senators from the solid south next year. Tho Oregonian'a slate ments are as inconsistent as they are ridiculous along thin line. The women ore coming to tilue in good shape.
