Mr. Singleton this morning had the
machinery of his planer and box factory,
which has been operated here for some
time, on board the Regulator. He will
set it up either on the White Salmon or
the Little White Salmon.
Wheat is coming in very slowly, ow
ing to the fact that harvesting is not yet
over and every available man and team
is at work saving the crops. In a few
weeks the East End will be crowded
with teams delivering the biggest and
best grain crop ever raised in Eastern
Oregon.
The Regulator was quite late last
night, on account of the high wind
jwbich caught her at a landing by a
sandbar and forced her broadside to on
the bar. It required a kedge anchor
and the use of a capstan to get her
swung off into the stream where she
could use her wheel. ,
Henry Stewart, who shot and serious
ly wounded Jasper Neaselroad in What
com last May, pleaded guilty laBt Satur
day of assault With intent to kill, and
was sentenced to five years in the peni
tentiary in Walla Walla. Stewart made
a written statement of the circumstances
leading up to the shooting.
Dr. Brosius who assisted in making
the autopsy on the body of Dan Maloney,
said that in the average man the wound
would have caused death in from ten
minutea to seven hours. As it was eeven
days and over from the time of the
shooting until death ensued, it would
indicate that Maloney'a vitality was 24
times that of the average man. ,
Mr. Schonno, in digging a well on bis
place on Third street, noticed that at
the depth of about ten feet there was a
flue bed of washed gravel, two or three
feet in thickens, lying on top of a cement
bedrock. With the instincts of an old
miner, he panned out some of it, and
was astonished to find quite a good pros
pect, every pan showing several quite
ood colors. Mr. Schanno does not
hink it a Klondike, and is not going to
ining, but the gravel and gold shows
at where the town stands the river at
ne time used to flow.
Ed Fortner, who lives onion the Mc
Kay, related a peculiar experience
which happened on his ranch a few
days ago. He was engaged in hauling
in hay, having several working for him
and just about the time for them to go,
to work a fire was discovered near the
barn. It was quickly extinguished and
they began to look around for a cause.
It was not caused by smoking, but Mr,
Fortner is of the opinion that it was
caused by the sun reflecting on the mold
board of a plow, as there were two plows
near where the fire started.
Mr. Henry LadahofF, who has been
rospecting for several weeks on McCoy
creek, came up on the Regulator laet
night. He tells ns that more than 800
acres of placer ground have been filed
upon, many of the claims being on the
side ot the mountain. There is consid
erable gold in the Creek anil through the
soil on the mountain Bide, but no paying
claims have yet been developed. J. L.
Langille of Hood River, bad a shaft
down 33 feet in a body of cement gravel,
when Mr. LadahofF left, and expected to
reach bedrock in a few feet more. The
gravel was not prospecting well.
Quite an amueing incident happened
this morning a few minutes before the
Regulator palled out. Among the other
freight to go. was a small two-horse
wagon. The covered top had been low
ered. and the wagon stood on the wharf
until the balance of the freight- Was
loaded. It was then backed on and into
the forward starboard gangwav. The
top struck the upper deck with a crash,
and then there was a commotion under
the canvas and an old gentleman bobbed
out, looking too utterly sjilly for any
thing, as the crowd gaye him the laugh
He had evidently stowed away' and was
going to take the trip as freight.

It is not an unusual these days to bear
of new and rich mineral discoveries be
ing made in the gold fields of Union
county east of this city. The greatest
strike to be reported since the finding of
the fabulously wealthy ledge near Sparta
last week, is one just made on Paddy
creek above the Reed mine, about
thirty-five miles from Union. The new
find is gold-bearing quartz of such rich
ness that one man can pound out in a
common band mortar $25 a day. The
ledge is quite extensive and the rock is
studded witn native gold, it is only a
motter of time when many mills will be
operating on the ores of the county and
employing thousands of people. Re
