None but tlc most favorable reports are
being received from the Pine creek mines,
sports sent there by capitalists through
out tho United States, all agree in saying
that this is the most extensive and rich
mineral district discovered in many years.
The influx hito theso mines, which will
probably not commence- until early next
spring, will be immense. Several mine.
have been sold recently, ranging in price
from $ JO.OGO to $312.0GQ. Two or three mines
have also been bonded by eastern capital
ists. There is no doubt entertained of the
permanency and richness of these mine.',
and the people of Union county should
lose no time .in commencing work on the
road from this valley to Pine creek. The
Portland Roan of Trade Is fully alivo to
tho importance of the road, nnd will aid in
its construction. The following acpount of
a recent meeting of the Hoard we take from
the Standout :
A meeting of the board of trade was held
on Tuesday evening. The object was to
hear the report of General Tatmatt on the
rino creek mining region. There were
over ono hundred specimens of different
kinks of minerals placed on the table, and
General Tannatt to.6k his position behind
it and recited the result of his observations.
Regarding tbe road into the mines, 1)0 said
tho people of Union would build a road to
Eagle creek from Union, a instance of 15
miles, and the citizens of Baker City pro
posed to build a road 43 miles, from Hakcr
City to the same point, lie recommends
that the board pf trade build the seventeen
remaining miles' of the road from Eagle
creek, the point of intersection with the
mines. This would cost f 0.000. Both Un
ion and leaker Counties would be' .satisfied
with such arrangement, as.it enabled both
to compote for tho trade of -the Pine creek
mines.
He then gave a thorough description of
tho Pine creek region, and said that the
district, although undeveloped, was cf
greater value than any that had come un
der his notice. Siiph valuable specimens
as those before him he had never seen ta
ken from mines in such a backward state
of development. The indications were fa
vorable for permanency, and he thought
that ere long there would be a largo and
prosperous mining imputation located there
which would be worth the trouble of secur
ing trado from. As the propriety of erec
ting smelting works i to reduce the Pine
valley ores, the speaker could not speak
with certainty at the present state of de
velopment. Tho ores, as a whole, gave
promise of a capability of being reduced
by thesnielting process. The Rockafellow
and Other mines at present yield free mil
iig ore, nnil he recommended quartz mills
to the miners as tho best moans of redu
cing. Tho sulphurets could be saved and
shipped to Portland or el.sewhero and bo
worked,
The report was adopted, and a vote of
thanks was tendered General Tannatt for
the satisfactory manner in which be had
performed his task.
Tha mittar of raising the $0,50) to build
tho Pino valley road was. discussed at
length and was ended by leaving the whole
matter to a committee of five, consisting of
Messrs. Dodd, Mcussdorfler, Knapp, 'White
and Schuyler. '

l-iom parties just, down from Baker
city, wo loam that the court house at
Unit place was totally destroyed, by
fire lasi Tuesday night. Our inform
ant statps that there is no doiibtthat
tho firo was the work of an incendi
ary. It is a heavy loss and will bo
greatly felt by tho' already overtaxed
people. Soino very valuable docu
ments, nnd records were burned,
which cannot bo replaced.'although
the tiro proof vault withstood the fiery
test and the records stored therin were
saved. We enn not learn whether
there is any duo to tho perpetrators
of this crimot or not. Baker oity
seems to be infested with a number of
fiends, who resort to fire on tho slight
est "provocation. They should bp fer
reted out, at any cost, and hung up
to the most convenient awning, as no
property or individual is safe while
such reptiles are allowed to live,
Our Tutoi,
In view of tho fact that our indebt
edness is considerable, tho tax levy of
25 iniljs, made by the County Board,
cannot be deemed out of tho way, and
in comparison to the tax levy of our
neighboring county Baker, which is
35 mills, rather light. Lot the people
sec to it that (he proper kind of men
are elected to ofiice, hereafter, who
will discharge their duties in a trust
worthy and economical manner, and
our indebtedness and taxes will gradu
ally decrease. With our rapidly in
creasing population, rich gold, silver
and marble fields, lately discovered,
and vast improvements which are be
ing made throughout our agricultural
districts, such an indebtedness ought
speedily to be wiped out, never to ac
crue again. . ,

Fred. Winkleman, tho murderer of
Allen and Bivers, was taken to Pen
dleton a few days ago, on a change of
venue, for trial, but at the burning of
the court house at Baker city, Monday
night, the indictment against him was
destroyed, and there being nothing to
hold him on, ho was taken back, and
committed again to await tho action
of the next grand jury of Baker
county, Meanwhile fbr safe keeping
he has been placed in tho Union

It jsald that an editor knows moro than
onuhon people, and wo Jlrsiro to know'
samp thing of a littU matter of which we
lavo not suflicicnt knowledge, and we pre
sume there arc a number of persons that
arc similarly situated, ant hence we dos'tre
to interrogate you.
Sometime in the voar 1838, Judge AVhlt-
en died at Union, and soon thereafter a
Par meeting was hc to take some notion
upon said death, and among other tilings
that tool: place at said meeting, there' was
a committee appointed, composed of Judge
Hallory, R. Kukin and another, whose
name we have just niiw forgot ten, to col
lect the mi in of ten dollars from each attor
ney of this district, and apply the same in
laying tho expenses of ast sickness of the
deceased. They did, as we are informed,
collect a considerable amount of money for
said purpose, and wo arc told that this
money has never been applied for the pur
pose for which it was collected. Now the
question that wo desire you to answer is:
What has becomo of this money? Would
t not bo the proper thing to havo tho pres
dent of that Par meeting call another
meeting of the Par apd investigate this
matter? O.
Yvc are aware of tho fact that an editor
is sometimes credited wiin Knowing a
great deal moro than he docs know. While
we havo several little items of knowledge
stored away iq our domu of thought, wo
still will havo to confess tobut llttto knowl
edge in rogard tq the subject in question.
AVo believe wu.did hear something about
it some time ago, hut can remember noth
ing definite. As mast of the attornoys are
in tlis city at present, it would seom to be
in order forthe president qf . that mcctipg,
whoever he was, to riso alul explain, either
to a meeting of of tho Par, or through the
public journals, it be desires to sot tne
matter right in the latter way, our col
umns aro open to him. Kit.

The improvements at this placo the
past year have been steady, which in
dieates a strong under-current of pros
perity. The fcources of this expansion
aro found in the fact that) this is the
shipping point, by river, or rail, of tho
products of two or moro largo conn
ties Wasco and Klickitat, besides tho
wool and btock from Grant nnd Cook
counties. Add to this tho travel by
cars, river, and a daily stage to Got
dendiilo, a tri-wcekly to Canyon City
and PHneville, and you have some of
the sources of business, Tho register
at tho Umatilla. Hmise shows a larger
daily list of arrivals probably than any

to meet friends and discuss the topics
of tho day. Just now, a general meot-
