EniToit Nkws: Having just rc turned from a flyinc visit to Quartz burg, which is situated on Dixie creek about seven miles from this place, I thought n few items of news from that thriving little camp would bo interesting to your many readers. On arriving thero I was very much surprised to find things in such n booming condition, nl thou eh thero were vevcrnl mines which I did not visit on account of tho snow which was alwut 2G inches on n level. Hut nevertheless, I saw enough to convince mo that Quartz burg will undoubtedly be n Itooin ing camp the coming spring. I first visited tho OHIK.NT MINE, whero I found a tunnel driven about three hundred feet, carrying a ledge nbout two lect wide, which runs from $100 to $800 tier ton. Justin Henry, tliu principal owner in thi mine, is making calculations on having three hundred tons of this ore on the dump by tho lint of April. I next visited TIIK DUTCHMAN, owned by Pnul Faimnn; it ha been considernbly duveloiicd. It shows up a ledge of solid ore nbout 18 inches wide. There is n largo force of men working this mino to n good advantage. Wo next visited the C0I.0IIAII0, owned by John Lnurauco k Co. At present thero thero is a force of men working this mino on a lease. Everything ap-wars favorable and work is progressing in n manner that indicates that tho company in more than hopeful. Wo now visit the most noted quartz mine of the camp, known ns tho IMIKSKNT JCKBD, which shows up tho best developed Iirosjiect in tho vicinity of Quartz lurg. This mine is owned by an individual who claims to bo an ex ert in regard to working ore. He is makimr nrcnarntions to nut un n concentrator in the spring, which will undoubtedly be a grand inven tion. If this invention prows to bo a success, everything will bo in readiness for opcrntions on an ex tensive scale by the first of April. Ul.II TIMKII. A GROWLER OKOWLS. Prairie City, Jan. 17.

Plain talk from tho Fossil Jour nal: Somo sneak thief in this country has for a couple of years been engaged in defacing the brand of horses and cattlo that ho supos ed to bo strays, sometimes by burn ing out the whole brand, nnd other times hy adding something to it, so that thu owner would not likely re cognize it ns his. Geo. Mettcer brought over ono of his old inilch cows from thu John Day, and she has been running in this section not far from town this fall. Sho was a strange cow in this immedi ate vicinity, and this sneak thief has no doubt supiuscd hor to bo a stray, and when Mr. Mettcer found her tho other day to get up to feed he noticed that her brand was changed, and that her cars had been cut oil shorter, entirely defac ing the our murk. 11 Is not. sup posed that thu sneak thief imitated any particular murk or brand when ho mudo tho change, hut in a sen son or so ho no doubt would havo claimed her as his own, if Mr, Met teor hnd not known his cow by night. Thero has been n good deal of just such work as that, and it perhaps will go on until ono lino morning somo sneak thief will wnko up and find himself in another world, his body suspended from the limb of a tree by a ropo. Wo would regret that anything of that kind would tako place, but stock thiev ing has always had a strong ton dency in thai direction in Kattcrn Oregon, and has never failed to work a euro in oveiy particular locality.
