Tin-: Crackku Ckkkk Minks. Mr.
J. H. Thomson ami Mr. Chancy Clark
returned from the Cracker oieek niuics
' Wednesday. From Mr. Thomson we
learn that they went through by way
of the Anthony creek lakes, and Camp
Cnon, and from there took the road
to John Day river, thence up to the
summit betwcpn it and Upper 1'owder
river, and came to the Cable Cove min
ing district. Considerable work is be
ing done on the "California" at this
place, which bids fair to bo an exceed
ingly good mine. A mine south of
there 1. J miles, owned by Cavil Hros.,
gives indications of being the best mine
in that district. They have ordered
machinery for this mine and a mill
will be put in shortly. From there a
good road leads down o miles to Fruit
creek, a tributary to Silver creek. Here
is situated the 'Columbia" ledge, dis
covered by Cable Hros., and which, it
is said, has been told by them for $75,
000. A little town is being started at
this place. One-half mile below here
at the mouth of Cracker creek, anoth
er tributary of Silver creek, is situated
the town of Hourne, containing hotel,
saloon and an.assay oflice in course of
construction. From here, up Cracker
two miles is situated the "Excelsior"
quart, ledge, which, rumor has it, was
sold this summer for one million dol
lars. It is without doubt an extensive
and rich mine. The town of Cracker,
hero, is quite a lively place. The mine
owners are expecting their machinery
soon and arc leveling their grounds
preparatory to its arrival. They alrea
dy have a water motor at work, pump
ing air into tho tunnel, which is now
in .'100 feet on tho east anil 200 feet on
the west side of the creek. They were
shown by Col. Gleason the prospects
of the "Charles Dickens" and "Lady
Allen" quartz ledges, recently discov
ered. 2.1 miles above Uourne, on Fruit
creek. The last assay of these mines
show $10'l.ff in gold and s'i) in silver
to tho ton. They were also shown by
Col. Gleason the ''Great Eastern" one
mile east of Bourne, which assays very
favorable. Mr. Thomson thinks this
district bids fair to be as good as any
on the coast. A good wagon road
leads to this district from Maker City.
They returned over the line of the
North l'owder and Cable Cove road,
which has been finished about half the
distance. The building of this road
was taken in hand by tho North l'ow
der people last summer, and when fin
ished will be a good road. The dis
tance from Union to Cracker creek by
this route will be about ! f miles.
Dkath ok Shkkida.n. A dispatch
dated, Nonquit Mars, Aug. (5th., says:
Gen. Sheridan died at 10:20 last
night. Previous to !):'!(), there had
been no premonitions recently of an
unfavorable change. Yesterday he
seemed generally bright and cheerful.
His pulse was strong, and he took a
full supply of nourishment. The doc
tors and tho family were in hopeful
spirits. At S):!i0 symptoms of hear
failuro suddenly appeared. Kcnicdies
which had proved successful in all pre
vious attacks wero applied, but this
time without effect, and despite all
that could be done, the General grad
ually sank into a condition of complete
unconsciousness, and at 10:20 breathed
his last. Tho immediate cause of
death was heart failure. Tho remote
cause was disease of tho mitral valve,
the existence of which was known to
his physicians, tho family and himself
last November.
LijiKitAi, LiXTUitK. Next Thursday
evening, tho lGth. inst., tho celebrated
author, poet and orator, Mr. Samuel
P. l'utnam, will speak at tho court
liouso in this city in support of free
thought and tho intellectual liberty of
mankind. It will bo remembered that
Mr. rutman gave two lectures in Huh
city about a year ago. Mr. Putnam
while vehement, cloquont and earnest,
is always kind and courteous to thoso
who differ from him in opinion. No
one can take ofl'enco at what ho says
or tho manner in which ho says it. t
All should attend and enjoy this intel
lectual treat. No admission is charged
as Mr. Putnam's expanses aro paid by
tho American Secular Union and its
friends.

John Elliott and Hilly Wilson have
made some substantial improvements
on the sidewalk in front of their es
tablismeuts. A large crowd will no doubt be in
attendance at the baseball tournament
on the 27th. The grounds aro being
put in excellent condition.
We stated last week that the real
name of our correspondent "Luna

mistake. We should have said M. L.
Carter.
Our popular boot and shoe dealer,
Mr. C. Vincent, lias tho outside of his

The location of the paper mill at
Walla Walla has been settled. The
mill will employ about 20 men and
spend $20,000 among the farmers for
material. It will be completed this
year.
Correspondents, writing on other
subjects than matters of news, are re
quested to be as brief as possible, as
our space is limited. Several commu
nications were crowded out of this
issue.
For removing dandruil', Ayer's I fair
Vigor has no equal. It restores faded
and gray hair to its original color,
stimulates the growth of tho hair, anil
gives it a beautiful, glossy snd silken
appearance.
In order to obtain more space we
have discarded tho largo heading of
the paper and replaced it with the one
formerly in use. In a few weeks we
will have an attractive and finely exe
cuted heading that will be altogether
better.

Ayer's Sarsaparilla is designed for
those who need a medicine to purify
their blood. No other preparation so
well meets this want. It increases tho
appetite and rejuvinates tho whole sys
tem. Its record, for forty years, is ono
of constant triumph over disease.
Air. O. P. Jaycox,of tho firm of Jay
cox it Foster, will start cast in a day
or two for the purposo of purchasing
fall and winter goods. This is tho
secret of the firm's great success.
Their goods aro bought in tho east un
der their own personal supervision,
and this enables them to sell at aston
ishingly low prices.
The Scout is evidently here to stay.
Tho organizers of tho Jlcpublican tried
to buy them out, offoring them a largo
premium for tho business. They
wouldn't sell out, and say they won't
be run out. Tho only conclusion is
that they arc hero to stay. Iienubli-
can. The abovo is eminently correct
with tho exception that "largo premi
um" should read "about half price."
Tho fcoliugs of tho gang would have
becu expressed by the addition of tho
words "which is not what wo expect
ed." A Ht rious stabbing affray occurred
at Long Creek, Grant county, last
Wednesday. Ike Splawn and Newt.
Leslie got into a quarrel over politics,
whon Splawn drew u knife on Leslie.
Loslio at once grabbed him and throw

that had tho knife so that no damage
could bo done, at tho same timo pun- j
ishing Splawn so badly that ho cried
