BAKER CITY.
Its Future Prospects Bright Eve y
body Hopeful.
During last week tne editor of
the News had occasion to visit
Baker City, which place as pre
dicted by some, will be the fu
ture metropolis of Eastern Ore
gon. Although the business men
complain of dull times at pres
ent, all have hopes for the future,
and we are inclined to the be
lief that another year will wit
ness great changes in Baker City.
I he capitalists are showing great
enterprise in building up their
town, aim me mines inouiary to
the place have no small influence
in the permanent and steady im
provement of the place.
Another industry that will give
employment to a lurge number
ofunen. and teams, is the ship
ment of lumber. Parties have a '
contract to ship several million of j
feet to eastern cities within the 1
next four years, and besides a
number of mills in the vicinity
two new ones will shortly be
placed in position in the belt of j
timber near Britten's station, on !
the Canyon road.
Politics are beginning to ''loom J
up" in Baker county to an alarm
ing degree. Everybody wants to
be Sheriff or will at least accept j
the nomination anil serve the i
dear people it it is loreeu upon ' .

AMONG THE MINES.
Quartzburg. Kob. 18th, l.SSs.
En. News: I suppose you
thought I hail forgotten to report
the mining news of this burg, but
I was waiting for the develop
ment of some new strikes, to l e
certain that my statements are
correct.
The Keystoxk Co.,
are still at work on the Wide
West mine, taking out rich ore.
and Mr. Patrick Daley has haul
ed 100 tons of ore to the Key
stone mill, and over 100 tons
still remains on the dump.
The Ixgeksoli. Mixe,
which was struck by George
Bently and Mr. Tucker, is the
richest mine in the camp, and
' shows plenty of coarse gold, and
. there have been some very nice
specimens taken out. The vein
is situated on the Cougar hill,
runs in a Southeast direction and
varies from twoinches to a foot in ;
width. They have out seven I
tons of rock on the dump. '
The adjoining claim on the j
South was located by Mr. Bab- j
cock, Mr. Blinn, Sr.. and Joseph
Kesler. , They have not done
much work yet, but the rock is
very rich, as it is the same as the
Ingersoll mine. 1 will wait un
til I write again, and then I will
tell more, as work will soon be
started again on this lode.
Mr. M M. I'almer is in the
camp from John Day, looking
after his quartz inteffest. Mr.
Joseph Kesler is representing his j
mine, known as the 1 lorence
mine. The vein where Kesler
struck it is six inches in width,
and nrusnects in tree eom. 1 ins i
mine adjoins on the North to the
Gaukipi.p Mixe,
owiudby O. C. Miller. This
mine was leased to George Bent
ly and Mr. Peter ' Tucker this
last fall for six months. They
took out six tons of ore and had
to let it lay on account of the
spring water, or suface water, run
ning them out. They went pros
pecting and made the rich strike.

Thanks, Jerry, for tho compli

himself. Jerry is a gentleman,
and ge.ts half of his paper printed
in Portland. Jerry says we steal
editorials from his paper. Well,
we shall not attempt a denial of
the charge. In one sense we 1
have stolen from dear Jerry, hav- j
ing 'clipped' from other exchanges,
for the outsid pages of the News, j
articles which had been "clip
ped" and copied by the press many J
times over, which article would
turn up in Jerry's paper before
the Xkws was issued, therefore
Jerry would be led to believe that
the articles were copied from his
paper. Dear Jcrrv, we inav have

noticed in the last issue of the
News that I had been placed on
the list as a candidate for clerk
on the Republican ticket, and
was not much surprised, only tit
being placed on a ticket that is a
dead issue, or will be after the
June election. Now if you will
be kind enough to withdraw my
name from the list and place
that of J:imes F. Mahan instead,
you will confer a great favor to
the people of our little burg, as
well as to myself. As to the rest
of the ticket wcare well satisfied,
and more than satisfied to see
our ringleaders of tlrant county
bring out the names of such
strong and hearty candidates for
the June election, as they did for

that Scarface Charley will carry

We leave this man in his glory.

"What is the matter, now?" we
ask.
"Iguecs I hae lost my ranch or

"How is this?" we ask.

UOltING THE JAW.
Put au augcr-liit
in the head of a
grasshopper or mos
quito (naturalists
say the latter lias a
Raw-shaped contri
vance to cut the
llesli with), aud set
him to work to
hore through the
check nud jaw.
Let him ho big
enough and strong
enough to handle a
man, get him dovn
-ni1 Kin operations. If such savagery
co n hi be realized, it would be uo worse
than a j mailing toothache. The old
comic almanac used to have a picture
of a man. his mouth filled with wutor
a'nl s .t.-d on a hot stove waiting for
it to lMiil. This was called a cure lor
the toothache. Grim joke. Hut it per
lii s suited the times, as there was then
n.ttlting known to give instantaneous
and permanent relief, and the joke illus
trated the doperutioii of the sufferer as
wcl1. l.ttt not so now. At least wc are
, Mtre from the followiiur that some men
j have found sure comfort and cure, at
