From Mr. J. Tj. Clough, who has just re turned from Jackson oonnty, we learn tha.t there has bten a riuh strike of py dirt made in the claims of the Grand Applogate probably the richest made in Jaukson county with; the past ten years. Mr. Clough says it is the opinion Of miners of experience the oompaay in question had onoe more tapped the great pay streak found in the early days of mining in that section, and ait rwards lost. The company have at hut got their alaitn open, and are running two shifts of bands, and the giant is kept constantly playing against thirty feet of bank. The last prospects thow this bank to prospect from the top down all tha way from 12j cents to 1225 to the pan of dirt washed. Such diggings would be conaideied a rich strike to the miner shoveling in the dirt by hand labor into sluice boxes, but is large fortune assured to the owners of the claim. working it as they do by the hydraulic pro cm, in tne uin lan claim were is nardiy found a "color" to the pan, and yet the Chinaman is making a fortune. At the rate only of five cents to the pan, the Grand Applegate Mining Company should take out $50,000 per month at least; at the present prospect the yield per month should bo five times greater for the same period at least, and possibly eight times the amount. A couple of miners who have visited the mine give it as their opinion that- the yield fro a the mine within the next four weeks will reach, if it does not exceed f 100,000. Since the strike a great number of Jackoa county miners have visited tha mine, and they have generally agreed that the strike is an ex ceedingly rich oua.and many who had owuod olaims in the neighborhood and abandoned them have returned to the ground and pro pose holding it for the future rains in the mountains. The Grand Applegate Company have the best of water privileges, and will be able to work their ground about five months in the year. In this much they have a decided ad- vantageover any other company in Jaskson county. In this connection we would say that this late strike is proof that the best mines of Jackson oouaty are yet to be found. The mining done heretofore in that county hua been mostly upon the surface and in shallow diggings. There is but little more of such mining to be done. Hereafter the miner must go into the hillsides and down into the deep bars, and when this i done we may ex pact t j hear ol continued rich strikes and have hope for a re turn to Jackson oouaty the pros perous days belonging to the first discoveries upon thj tributaries of Rogue river. OAKLAND ITEMS. Wheat is coming in plenty. Mr. A. L.- Sanctuary, of Uoseburg, was in town lost Suuday. Miss Lillie Barker, of Portland, is stop- piug with us at present. Morrell showed to a large and appreciat ing audience last Friday night. Prof. Heard is at Cole's Valley seeking enjoyment. YVe hope he may find it there. Mr. Etibtnks has several acres of wheat so fearfully damaged by rust that he hard ly thins a it worth cutting. The young man who is going around the streets snd talking about other peo ple's business, hud belter keep his month shut. ' Mr. J C. Shambrook gave us a pleasaut. call on Saturday. He will start for Ionis vtlle. Ivy., in a short time to attend medi cal lectures. Quite a number of voung folks went out to the Umnqua on a fishing expedi tion. The party returned in a very good humor, but without any fish. One of the workmen of Mr. Street Rice had an unfortunate tall from a load of wheat. A stick entered his bowels three or tour inches. Dr. Venable is attending the patient. Prf. Geo. T. Eussel, from Leadville, Ttnn., arrived at Oakland last Friday night to make Oregon his home. Mr. B. is a worthy gontleman aud we are glad to have him among us. The child of J. Parker was dangerously scalded last Friday. Dr. Page, who is at tending the case pronounced it a very critical oue, though the child is doing well unaer 'he circumstances. The child of Mr. Pinkston died after a short illness of heart disease, on Monday August 18; h. The funeral took place on the following day. We sympathize with the grief-stricken parents. CALAPOOIA ITEMS. Ripe truitot difleient kinds plentiful. The humming of the threshing machine is music to t:.e farmer's ear. Wm. Wheeler sold his mountain farm to Mr. Jasper Shook for $200. H. DeWitt smashed his self-binder, in consequence he got what the boy wanted a res'.. Miss Ada Mires, one of Calapooia's fair maidens, ;s vudting relatives and friends at Stanton. Mrs. H. Davis, we are grieved to say. is very sick, but we hope to see her entirely recovered shortly. Mrs. Richard Learns, of Walla Walla, daughter of H. Davis, is here visiting the scens of her childhood. Prof. Logan, with his great panorama, showed at the school house last Tuesday evening to en average audience. Certain individuals are engaged in cir culating a s'anderous falsehood concerning a young lady who is known to be innocent by all acquainted with the circums aaces. Little Huss, son r f Mr. John B'ier, was severely scalded about the breast last Thursday eveninp by having a basin ot boiling water spilled on bim which hit older brother was cirrvinir. Tl e little fel low was not expected to live, but an effi cient M, D. was called and at this writing is considered out of danger. Some of onr farmers are very much in- in red by the rust. The heaviest losers are Messrs. McXobie and Baker; they have 100 acres which is not worth harvesting. The phitaiithroi'ical youth that furnishes items lor the r iron: tins locainy reporieo me above named gentlemen had 250 acres which were a total lw. Confine youtsell a iittle more to thitrn h, sonny, theo per haps, your Hems wiil be more interesting. YONCALLA ITEMS. - On Wednesday morning a slight shower of rnin checked harvest wort a little. Onite an increase inf tha'population of this part of the county is expected this Fail from immigration and other touree. Mr. Nathan Roberts died on Monday morning after a long and severe illness, dur ing which be suffered very much. Charley Cowau's first work in harvesting resulted in 16 bushels of wheat from one- half acre of ground. Charley has about SOP acres in grain and nearly all good. The fanners here are keeping up quite a discussion as to which is the cheapest har vesting mac I ine. the header or the self- binder; to far the binder seems tO be the favorite. Mea l s are quite prevalent bete now some families bting nearly all down with the disease. Mrs. AppWate, the aired wid OW of the late Clias. Applegate, has the measles, snd is otherwise in such poor health as to requite medical aid. Harvesting is progressing finely, and it is generally believed that wheat is not so seri .! ininnd bv rust ss wss first supposed. Nearly all crops are damaged to some extent, but none entirely destroyed. Mr. J T. Mill.- S is the WOTS', lnjurea. n.. wnrthv saloonkeeper finds it profitaM to lock his door and go out harvesting. Of course it is only to nrp7 """"""J harvest hands, but some folks are so unchar itable as to insinuate that he is working on the same plan as old Jacob, who served La ban so long and faithfully. l m KEW DlSCmRYl New Klines and a New Spring. Me8r8. Common and Strotlier returueel l.oine from a prospect ins? toui duriiig the week. Whil absent the gentlemen discovered and located a placer raining claim north of ihs Steam Beer icine9, on Grave creek. The prospects obtained show the ground to be valuable, and with a good season's run a fortune will be taiten irora the mine. The owners will pro ceed to prepare the claim at once tsr the Winter s rnn ot water. Mr. Strother also discovered a spring which would be a fortune tor its owner if it were located near a city. The spring in ques' tion in fit onlv for laundrv pur poses. While tramphiff through the woods Mr, Strother had his clothes besmeared with pitch, and onnng on to thespring thought he naught be would wash his over alls before erotne to camp. Using his shovel he soon enlarged the spring to the size su nine tne'pur. pose, and talcing off his overalls h plunged them into the wafer and jhere let them soak. His surprise on finding them clean when bo started to rub them may be better imagined than described. Wuile the clothes had been sonk ing the watf r had removed not only all the grease and pitch but dirt also. Mr. Strother imme diately pulled oft the remainder ot bis clothing aud put them in the water; in ten minutes they were as ciean as it they had been through the hand ot an expert esceu laundryman. lhe spring flows water sumcient to do ail the washing for a city as large as Portland, and some of the water therefrom will be subjected to a chemical analysis at an early day. We enggest the spring be called Strother's Washer. The Hutchinson Family. Thi talented family of singers will make its appearance for the brst time before a Kofeburg au dience on Tuesday and Wednes day eveuines at the Court House. The Hutchinson family comprises first clas singers who have travel ed the world over and everywhere been highly appreciated, and the performance they will give at the Uourt House will be worthy the patronage oi'all since all whowill go there will certaiuly pass away two enjoyable evenings. There will be an entire change of programme for Wednesday evcuwig. Speak, ingot the Family the New York lribune, an authority in musical matters, bus this to sav: "Ihey Mug because they love to sing, because music, and melody is their natural atmosphere; and people will crowd to hear thern, because their singing meets a ivaut which the people feel. W e remember the troupe quite well, when they came xo the front in the antisslavery movement, aud sang their songs ot emancipation. With always a sad nndertoue, they still sang hopefully and tali oftaith. How completely has that faith been justified! How tri umphant! v can thev sing ot the fruition ot liberty now! Weal ways go to hear them for it is good for as. Even their sadest, songs seem the sweetest. Why is it that the music oteaddnessis aK ways the best? Their rollicking j fun makes us laugh, but those j sweet, 6ad songs, tor which they seem peculiarly adapted, move us as lo others can." Mineral Well. The other day workmen em ployed upon the premises' ot Mr! F. C. Dry sunk a well and tapped a vein of water whnh flowed in bo rapidly that in a lew minutes there were eight leet of water in the well. The water was unusu- llv clear, aud Mr. Dry congratu-. lated himself upon the successful work of his men. Theie was uo complaint made Dy the tenants of the house on the lot as to the quality of the water until the lady ot the hjnse attempted to make tea with it. Wten the tea was poured out it was discovered to he as black as the blackest of k. This discovery led to tast ing the water, wheu it was tound that it had the flavor of mineral Wattfr. A lot of it was brought to town aud suhjocied to a chem ical analysis and pronounced to contain sulphur, iron, magnesia and other properties Bimtlar to those found in the celebrated springs ot El Paso de Kobles, in San Louis Obispo county, Cal. Drinking the water also revealed the tact that it possessed cathartic properties similar to those of the world-renowned springs near Ems, in Germany. Immediately after trf6 anaheis several offers to purchaso a half interest in the well were made by different par ties, but Mr. Dry wisely conclud ed to sell to no one, and has since sent several bottles of the water to different chemists id San Francisco to have it tested.
