LIKE DAYS OF '49.
Fossil Greatly Kxc:ltel Over Finding of
Gold Ounrtz.
The town of Fosfil is just now much
excited over the Undine of gold bearing
quartz near the city. The Journal thus
describee it:
The town of Fossil has been consider
ably excited this week over the discov
ery of gold about one mile from town,
on top of the hill above Squire Donald
son's ranch. Years ago pieces of quartz
that looked as if they might contain
gold were picked up on the mountain,
and a short time ago Napoleon Hastain
discovered what appeared to be a prom
ising quartz ledge, a portion of which he
sent to Cripple Creek, Colorado, to be
assayed. The assay has come to hand,
showing the ore to contain $14 in gold to
the ton. On receipt of the assay, Mr.
Hastain took Lyman Brown, an old
Nevada and California miner, out to his
ledge to see if he could tell him whether
it waa a spur or a permanent ledge.
Lyman put in a blast that blew the
whole mine into the air. It was Bimply
a bowlder weighing 400 or 500 pounds.
The bowlder waa on top of the moun
tain, and the question is, how did it get
there, and where did it come from?
Croppings of the same kind of quartz
are being picked up all over the hill, and
from Eunrise to sunset some one is busy
pounding the ore into dust. Merchants
and laborers, farmers and stockmen, the
preacher and the printer, are all excited
alike, and jostle each other for a look
over the shoulder of some old miner aa
he washes the pulverized rock in his
pa u.
With glittering eyes the old-timers
tell of rich strikes they made in MO,
when men became millionaires from
poorer prospects than showed in Uncle
Tom Watson's pan. Options and as
sessments, hydraulics and stamp mills
fill the air, and all that we need to make
us all rich is to find the ledge whence
come the croppings.
The present excitement gives those of
us who came into the world a generation
afterwards, a fleeting glimpse of the
spirit that animated men in the craze of
'49, and if that be all we ever get out ol
it, for our part we shall never regret that
Napoleon Hastain stumbled on to his
golden rock. The faith of a miner, tho1
oft times founded on sand, is sublime,
and IB stronger far than the average
Christian.

There Are Other.
If the White Stars wish to play ball
with the Champions in the future, they
must telegraph for their three big ball
tossers three or four days before the
game, so they will have ample time to
appear on the diamond, and then it will
take thirty-nine big scores to beat the
champions of Eastern Oregon, instead of
thirty-nine lines of newspaper guff".
The Champions have not been able to
play ball in newspapers, but we have
found the art of playing on the diamond
and we demonstrated that fact last Sun
and will do it again April 16th, if the
White Stars can hunt up their wonder
ful baseball players.
The Champions have accepted a chal
lenge from a local team to play April
11th, therefore they cannot play them
on that date.
We claim the championship of East
ern Oregon, and are open for all comers.
No Fitzeiuimons people allowed around.
