A Trip to Jefferson and Vicing Santiam Campbell, and Some Remirl encesof That Early Hyas Tyee k ; taway Santiam lllilie, Editor Statesman: Jeffereou, which place I have just visited, seems to enjoy a considerable degree of prosperity. There is a good hotel, kept by Mr. Ralph Walters; a first-class coun try store by E. N. Thomas, who is doing a large and thriving business; J. M. Metzler's chair factory is turning out as nana!, lots of good work; Mr, W. T. Bigdon runs a reliable drug store; the post office store with C. Burt Roland as the "Nasby," and the Farmers' Warehouse, kept by Charles Miller, are in a prosperous con dition. My old chum, J. W. Pate, who takes and reads the Statesman, with his young and ac complished wife, keeps the beet free hostelry that I found In my travels. He lives on the old "Santiam Campbell's" Anthony Trollope, and other leading novelists fa"" one u" best farms in that locality, in of Great Britain.

The beginning of a volume is an excellent! time for the beginning of a subscription, and the publishers still present to new subscribers for;i877 the six numbers of 1876, containing the first installments of McDonald's "Marquis of Lassie." to every one who would keep abreast of the beat thought of the time, the periodical is in fact almost a necessity. With fifty-two numbers of sixty-four large pages each, (or more than 3,000 pages a year) the subscription .price (8) is low, while for 510 50 the publish wa -offer to seDd anv one of the American 4 monthlies or weeklies with The Living Age for a year, both postpaid. Littell & Gay, .Boston, are the publishers. Temperance Lteww. As previously announced, W. B. Dunbar, Grand Worthy Chief Templar of the Inde pendent Order of Good Templars, of Oregon, Save a lecture at the M. E. Church in this tity last Sunday evening. He handled his subject with masterly ability, and if there were any in he audience open to conviction on thin ques tion, who did not already believe that temper ance -was right, must surely have been convicted sthat night Mr. Dunbar showed the questions of temperance asd intemperance to his audi ence in tlieir various phases. . Indeed, he deliv ered a better lecture tliis time than it lias ever been our lot to hear from Mm. His audience was a large and appreciative one, every seat in the Church being full to its uttermost capacity. If people would only heed the teachings they listen to on this question, what a different state of affairs there would be in this country to what now greets ns everywhere. No families would want bread, or any of the other necessaries of life. No officers of the law would ba needed, nor any prison houses would be in existence to tax the people. Oh! if intoxicating drinks could be stricken from the face of the earth with one mighty blow, what a beattfifnl world would we nave. Dallas Itemizer.

Since that time I have alwavsbeenin favor of good, solid fioora in sheds. This is a flue section of Marion conntv; the home of J. B.

Eight differ ent assays have been made from lock taken from this level, and the assays show that the ore runs all tho way from $0 iu gold per ton to $144 in silver, across the ledge. The last lfdge is well defined, and gives such evidence as to lead to the conclusion that it is the main lode, and is rich enough to make nabobs of each In dividual stockholder. Such a prospect in either of the Nevada mines would cause stocks to raise thirty dollars per share as soon as discov ered, and must, even lu Oregon, give the Esther a place with Uie leading mines of the coast... A few more as valuable strikes in the fame neigh borhood would soon build up a second Virginia City about the Esther and Lucky Queen mines. I.UCKV OA'EKM. From Col. T. B.

Editor Btatwihan: In the issue of the Portland Standard of January l'-Hli, wo find a communication over tho signature of "Minor" a communication not containing one .Ingle truth, aud wo boliovo prompted by mulico so cowardly as to go begging for a name. The writer proposes to given history of tho Luclty Queen Mining Company, and In his Com munication, we find the following: Ed. Standard: Having seen a notice in tho Orciioiiiaii of 8.800 shares of the Lucky Queon mine boing offered for salo, in behalf of the legitimate mining adventurers of this section 1 propose to disclose tho history of the said cor poration as u lb wen Known m tins sccuou oi About the first of the year 1S7G, tho Lucky Ouocn Minion Company was formed with a capital stock of S jOO.OUO. The organization was perfect, the stock book regular and the oorltlt catwi of stock would compare favorably with those of tho consolidated Viminia or Otihlr, but unfortunately the company had ono dllli- culty, and still it exists, to contend whii: nicy had no lodge. For a long time tho bonanza was located in thoneighborhoadof Cauyouvillc, where the coinpauy was busy running a tunnui on a ledgo winch had beau abandoned twelve years before, and every mall brought news ot now strikes and a rapid advance in tho slock. Soon public attention was attracted to the place, when the lucky discoverers found It con venient to change tho location of the mine to Jump Off Joe, a place not quite so accessible from the terminus ot tne rauroau. Having ai last secured a secluded place and an experienced superintendent (who novsrssw amino m his lllo), at a salary ot 91,411 per annum, aim a foreman whose peculiar nualilloatioui wore dis covered in a butcher shop lu Sulem, the Lucky Ouoen now prociatnw mat it present tno iwm opportunity for investment on tho ooast.

A few weeks ago, Judge Watsen, of the Second J .caeial District, came down to take his place on the Supreme Bench during the winter term, accompanied by his family, who bad rooms at the Chemeketa. We have to record the death, after short illness, of their oldest child, a lovely little girl, a perfect tairy in appearance, eight years of age, who died on' Wednesday morning, January 17, before day, another victim of that terrible soenrge, diptheria. Gracie was indeed a very lovely child and many sympathize with tthe deep affliction of the parents. The dear little on) was perfectly conscious to the last, raquestiug her father to ting, ' The Old Old Story," to soothe bor dying moments; prom ising to meet them, an angel, on the other shore, and manifesting the most perfect faith and con fidence, such as recalls to mind the words of the Savior: "Of such are the kingdom of Hoaven." . - Finns Beeelvetf. Mr. Joseph Hoyt, formerly Superintendent of the Willamette Woolen Mills, has received from the East, model plans for rebuilding these famous mills, lie informs us that this factory will be rebuilt probably the coming season, but at what place, is yet problematical. From present indications, Albany will be the point unless our citizens can be made to see that it is for their interest to offer such inducements as will secure their location here. Mr. Hoyt. will oon consult our leading-property holdera in the matter. In the City. Among the many p2rsons in the city attend ing tiie Supreme Court, we note the following who arc stopping at the Chemeketa Hotel. Chief Justice P. P. Prim, Judges L. L. McAr thur, J. F. Watson; Hons.

Minto, the newly installed city Marshal, and we are inclined to believe that if delinquent tax-payers knew what was best for them they would come to the front aud settle np and save costs and additional per ceutage. Hotted. Beusarfcable Offer. The Family Story Paper, of New York, offers the work of Shakespeare as supplements with the paper. Each issue has a "part" folded in it The work is really worth more than what is asked for the paper and all. To those desuing a wide-awake story paper, this is just the thing. Only $3 00 a year, for premium.' To such as have not Shakespeare's works, this is just the opportunity. It is a puzzle to us, how this re markable premium can be furnished at that price. Address L. Monroe & Co., 74 Beekman street, New York. The H. T. I'linrcii. Thin elegant steamer of the Farmers' Line, Ciptain Cochran, left for the metropolis yester day afternoon at 2 o'clock, with 2j0 tons of the cereal, and a fine trip of passengers. This steamer is beating even her owners and friends as to her superior carrying qualifications, and she is proviug herself a gay gazelle as a ruuner, hirjr 'r' ly pM.a underway several of the 'ai boats ot the old line since !:e h.i m-rr out.

Patrons of the Mutual Life Insurance Com pany, of rtew York, by calling upon Messrs. Jones & Patterson, the agents of that Company, can obtain "free gratis for nothing" two books that are of value to the housekeeper. One of the works tell you how to proceed in the case of accidents, emergencies or when poison has been taken by accident or otherwise. The other is a book that tells yon how to care for the sick, and is indispensable in the sick rooms. The books are neatly bound and are an ornament to any library or for the parlor table. When the Lucky Queen Mining Company was first organized, It did not commence operations by locating a lodge at Cauyonville, but a ledgo at that placo was a part of Its property, as was also ihe Lucky Queen ledge, lu its prospectus, aud the statements It caused to be published iu various newspapen, tho company declared that a certain number of shares of mining Btock would bo sold to those who would purchase, and that tho money realized from such sales should bo applied to mining in a tunnel upon the ledge at Jump Off Joe, in Jackson county, and to otherwise developing a Udgo of quartz "cropping" out at that placo, and giving ovl dence of being gold and silver boariug. Not ono dollar of this money was spent 011 the Can. yonvillo ledge, nor did the company "change" location from Canyonvillo to Jump Off Joe. Where the money thus received, and that real ized from assessments levied, has gone, or for what purpose it bas le?n expended, can bo loarncd by referring to the books of tlio com In Ihe Mty.

C'rnndall, formerly of this city is connected with that pa lter, the article doubtless emanates from ills poti. Hero is the article: Iu the year 18(17, a remarkable llltlo society was orgauiwrt hi Salem, known as the "Jtogular Donkey Club," with six charter mi'ioltcrs: Ham Crawford, John D. McCully, Hani Chureli, Crank il. AlcCully, John Forsvlho and Frauk D. McDowull. The !xys ranged lu ag from ten to twolvo yearn, aud 'bandid together for the purpose of defending themselves from the vrunnv of some laruer Ihivh in a base ball club of w hich all were members.

He gives the pictures a light blue tint or gives it a deep ultra marine color, that imparts rich ness and tone to the picture.

We understand Mr. Smith will have his new invention copyrighted, and we think, with all who haye seen the new style of pictures, "there's millions in it." True tut Uuel. The man who refues to patronize his local paper is a man of morbid disposition, of small Ideas and no business talent, nis light, if he has any. is so completely concealed beneath the bushel of self, that it will never bum to any practical purpose, and may 13c extinguished without a single eigh from the world around.

Yesterday afternoon, the iMth of January. 1377, the last sad rites wero paid to the mortal remains of Grace Flint Watson, tnn beautiful little fairy daughter of Associate Justice J. I Watson, whose gentle passing away to the oilier shore, wo nfltcd in our last iwuc. At 2 o'clock the casket, decked wilh sweet flowers, was borne from the room where loving hands had per formed the last sad duties, to the hearse, the following gentlemen officiating as pall bearers: Bliss D. Itickey, J. B. Lister, Frank D. McDow ell and Emanuel Meyer. Tho funeral cortege then proceeded to the Congregational church where a large, sympa thizing assemblage were gathered to listen to the exercises, which were touching and mourn fully interesting. The choir, under the leader ship of Mr. Squire Farrar, sang with deep feel ing, which was participated iu by alt those pres ent, the beautiful song which the littlo one, Just before her spirit took its flight to the uuseen world, had asked her papa to sing.for her, "The Old, Old Story." During the services by Iiev. P. 8. Knight, which were full of pathos and comfort, he read the following bountiful verses, written by Mrs. Belle W, Cooke, of this city, suggested by the touching death-bed scene of tho little one before them. "I am going to die to-night, Mumma," Said our littlo darling tir.iee, As we stood beside her bed of pain, And watched the dear, lair face. "I am going to Heaven to live, Mamma, And then you and Papa, too. Will come ami see me, by anil by. When all your trouble's through," "I am waiting for a eong. Papa, And I wish that you would bring The 'Old, Old Story,' that I love;" But the lather could not sing. 'I am going up higher, higher, Mamma," Were the last sweet words she an id. And the calm of Heaven came down to hot', And oar lovely Grace was;dead. And we smooth her eyelids down gently, And we fold the Illy bawls; And our little maiden, Golden Hair, Among the angels stand.". And we lay nor form to rest sadly. 1 Ike a show drop, ptir and weel: And we Mml I llnd her, white and Islr, When we, in Heaven Mmll meol ! At the conclusion of the services, Ihe fiiueiul procession reformed, and, marked by the slow tolling bell, proceeded to the Odd Fellows' Ru ral Cemetery, where a long farewell prayer was offered and the hymn "We will Gather at the River," sang, after which tho last duties wero given to tho little ono, who but a few days since was a tender bud whoso petals hud scarcely opened to life, but who now blossoms in tho full beauty of spiritual life, in the realms of blissful immortality. PERSONAL. A liood Nclienie. A subscription is being circulated in Salem, to raise money to pay for setting out trees around State House Block, Salem. The last Legisla ture thould have provided for this, hnt as it did not, aud years are passing when shade trees ought to be grouting, iuis proper enough for citizens of Marion county to show a little public spirit, and plant the trees.

The company has not, as implied in the extract above quoted, at any time declared its mine to ho one v, luwe permauciico was asiurcd, anil upon tliis declaration, or any citlicr, fought to si!cnlaU.' in its own stock. Its belief in the permanence of the mine lm from the Ix-giii-ning bicn sincere, and lion that tuilh, which commenced work upon the mine, is supported by discoveries and developments in the mine which have caused the stock of the company lo advance from 10 cents toSl.oOper share, and sent the heaviest nwuera into the market as the largest purchasers. We, tlio Directors aud mcmlwrs of the Lucky Queen Mining Company say, that If any ono to-day feels that the facts in the premises have been misrepresented to bim by the company, aud desires to exchange slock in his possession for the money he paid to the Company, the Company is ready aud willing to take back that stock and refund the money, with interest from dato ot purchase, on application. To all inch wo say, the money is ready without a moment's notice. We know, also, the Company has not tried to prevent a public examination ef lis mine; ou tho contrary tho mine has over boon open to the insectlon of I ho public, and is so to-day; and if any one shall be appointod by you, Mr. luhtor, or by any parties Interested, to examine the mine aud mako a public report of its condition and worth, the Company will agree, not only to pay the said party's expenses from your city to the mino and back, but also a fair compensation per day for the time and la bor expended iu making such examination Our Company will do this not to gratify the man who tolls a deliberate and intentional falsehood in his signature of "Minor" but lo satisfy those who have invested their means to develop the Lucky Queen mine, that every thing has been managed as they could wish, aud with results that should assure them the investments they have made are legitimate aud will bo prof itable boyond what they at first anticipated We have to-day a well defined quartz lule do velopod at Jump Off Joe, three feet wide. We have substantial tunnels and other permanent works, and we have one of the best quartz mills on the Pacific coast a boat completed; and this much inch appointed man will find as well as other points in favor of the Lucky Queen, which wo would rather would be well spoken of by one who has no interest at stake and whom tho public would be asaured was spoakiug of something he bad been em ployed as an expert to look into. Ho will aho find that the Lucky Queen Mining Company has no secrets from the public that its assays h.ivo been publicly made, its meeting open to the public; its pmt representations to Iho public justified by abundant tirttiuioiiy and eollovidcn facts, and i's most tiiinuto proceedings open to any one.
