TOE OREGON SCOUT.
AMOS K. JOKES,
kditok.
The Oregon Scout has as large a circii
Jation as any three papers in this sec
tton of the State, combined, and is cor
respondingly valuable as an advertising
medium.
Friday, October , 18SS.
Fink Okr Caiii.vkt. Mr. W. L. Bcv
nolus, of Cornucopia, has :i very largo
and fino selection of ores from the va
rious mine in Union county, and es
pecially of llii! 1'iuc creek district, and
has placed them in a cabinet at his
placo of business in Cornucopia, where
it may be teen. It is without doubt
k the finest mineral cabinet in the State.
Ir. Reynolds was in town yesterday,
interviewing our citizens and trying to
raise money to pay the expense of
taking the cabinet to the Mechanic's
fair. The cabinet weighs about 2000
pounds, and thcro would ho eonsddera-
bio trouble and expenso in placing it
on exhibition. Mr. Beynolds savs ho
is willing to lose his time, but doe's not
feel like bearing all the expenses of the
undertaking and we think our citi
zens should contribute liberally, and
hate the cabinet placed on exhibition,
as it will do more to advertise our
mines than anything elac that could
be done.

NoStoppaok ok Wokk. A number
of mine owners from the Cracker
Creek section have hfcn in Baker City
the past few days one and all .inform
the reporter that the Shows of ' winter
TOll not deter them in the least from
prosecuting work on their properties.
They arc now building comfortable
cabins and laying in supplies and ma
king many other preparations for win
ter. With steady work on these prop
erties from this time on until spring a
number of valuable mines will have
reached that state of a flairs which will
warrant the consideration of capital
ists. Democrat.
O Hand Hurt. Mr. Thomp. Carroll,
of this city, had the misfortune to re
ceive a sovere fracture of his left hand
this week while at his ranchc below
tottn. It seems that while driving a
team, Que of tho horses got the bridle
rein caught under the tongue
and Mi. Carroll in trying to release tho
rein got his lingers caught between it
and tho tongue, when tho horse pulled
back, tearing tho ilesh oil" the third fin
ger to tho bone up to tho second joint
and otherwise injuring his little and
second linger. Dr. Day dresssed the
wound.
O
Ax Ancient Volcano. In the Po
cohcQitas range of mountains west of
this cityPthero is apcak which from
appearances was some day cither a
volcano or that its pecular shape is duo
to volcanic (Qrruptions. Its top is the
same shape of that of Alt. Hood. Scver
.al times parties claim that smoke was
HceUfjssuing from il. A party is be
ing organized to thoroughly examine
and explore the mountain within tho
next week. Tho Beveillo will give an
-account of tho trip. Keveillio.
DliSKNCV. J n
before a court or
summing up a caso
jury, lawyers somc-
timo niuuigo m vulgar abuse of wit
nesses, but such men arc on a very low
plane themselves, but would hardly ex
pect a divine like Rev. G. M. Irwin to
call respectable ladies ''liars," as ho
did in summing up a case before tho
M. E. Conference, merely because he
did not lik'o the testimony. It is an
argument which any dirty mouthed
man can use, and that is all there is
of it. Boise Statesman.
Mujidkii in Fmsr DrcciitKi:. Tho
grand jury for Baker county yesterday
afternoon leturned to the circuit court
a true bill of indictment for murdor. in
tho first degree against Arthur Helm
for tho killing of Bud Duglas at Crack
er Crook last Sunday morning. The

bout 28 years of ago, and as the indiql
nicnt was read to him his face ooloied

sition he was in.
Lost Shki:i Woaro informed that a
few days ago Mr. Wesley Parker an ex
tensive sheep owner residing at North
Powder, lost 2200 head of sheep by
making their cscapo from the herder.

but strange as it may seem no traco of
(heir whereabouts has been obtained.
It is scarcely proablo that thoy have
been stolen and most likely they aro
hid away in tho mountain. Baker
