A Hew Mineral Disoovory.
Mr. John Walling, who lives a few miles
above town, presented us, this week, with a
tine specimen of gold bearing ipmrtz taken
from a ledge recently discovered by him
about fiftcin miles east of this city. An
expert estimates that such rock will assay
several thousand dollars to the ton. Mr.
Walling has been respecting in this neigh
borhood for two or thr4 years past and we
are in hopes that he has at last "struck it"
and will be amply rewarded for his time
and trouble. There is no doubt but tho
large mineral belt lying only a few miles
from this city is very rich. The only
trouble is, it has not been prospected. Wo
were also shown some tine specimens by
Mr. Fenn who made the recent discovery
on Big creek. Mr. Fenn Is a thorough
mineralogist aud has great hopos in his
discovery. He will soon umku a trip on
Catherine creek, in company with Mr.
Walling, to make a survey of that country.

I.a i - ii 1 n e mi.; three prisoners
made good the r escape from the county
Jail at Baker. The Democrat gives the
following account of their ecape and their
description :
"As i the custom at tho county hostelry
prisoners Incurc -rated for minor offenses
are allowed the liberty of exercising in the
hallway outside the Iron cage, especially lu
hot weather, every afurnoon, the jailer
looking them Up in their cells at about 7:20
o'clock each evening.
"When, the time arrived last Sunday
evening for the bo s to nestle in their re.
speetive couches. Jailer Travlllian unlocked
the door at the entrance to the jail ami as
he stepped in three of the Inmate were
standing apparently taking especial In
terest in something ai the north side
of the jail. That something was a
hole in the wall about IsV.'O inches in
sice and through which three others of the
gang had paed and secured their freedom.
Jailer Travlllian took in the Munition in
stantly and quickly unlocking the cage
ordered the prisoners to their cell. They
complied, but In a very sheepish sort of
way. As soon a poihle the Jailer gave
the alarm and deputies were dispatched to
overhaul the escaped prisoners, but up to
the present time no success has attended
their ellbrt. The names and descriptions
of the escaped are as follows:
"C S. Belmont, alias Con. Sullivan, a
well-known western crook, aged !W years,
florid complexion, red moustache, brown
hair, weight about H!6 pounds, live fret ten
inches tall. Charged with misdemeanor
nnd under $100 bonds.
"Thos. Howard, small iu Mature, dark
complexion, black hair, and dark eyes.
Charged with burglarv and under bonds of
$100
"Chas. Cooper, 22 yoar., light complex
ion, small light moustache, weight about
1C0 pounds, five feet nine inches tall.
Charged with burglary and under $."00
bonds."
Bad Employment for Boys.
Tuesday evening as Miss Durbln and lit
tle Grade Carter ta favorite of all who
know her) were coining up town, and while
iu front of the residence ol Chas. Myers,
they were attacked by Joe and Lou Myers,
two lads aged respectively S and (i joars,
who commenced throwing stones at the
ladies. Miss Durbiu was hit by a stone,
but, fortunately, was not hurt. In a kind
manner she asked the boys not to throw
any more, but they appeared brut on nils
chief and did not stop until a stone hit
littlo Graeie on the temple, cutting quite a
gah from which the blnoil tlowcd froeh ,
and it was thought for a tune that it might
terminate quite seiioitMy, but the bleeding
was tii, ally .stooped. Marshal Johnson
took the boys in charge mid locked them
up for the night in the county jail. Yes
terday they were brought before his honor,
Esqtliro Blakeslee, and arraigned on the
enarge of "assault and battery,'' but owing
to their j onthfuliiess they could not re
ceive feiiteiife to correspond with their
crime. Their father gave bond for them to
keep the peace hereafter, and they were
released.
Throwing rocks seems to have been tho
principal occupation of these boys, and it is
a great wonder that they have kepi out of
trouble from this source ashing as they
have. It has only been a short time since
one of them hit another liny on the arm
with a stone and it was thought for a time
that the hoy's arm was broken. When
parents havo no control over their children
it is time for someone else to take hold of
the matter and see that they are taken care
of. It is to be hoped that the experience
through which they have just passed will
be a lesson to the parents, and ono which tho
boys will never forget, aud that they will
in the future try to find some better em
ployment than throwing rock at persons
on the street.

It looks like a cry bad move to use the
same old frame for a door for the main
entrance to the new school building as was
used In the old one. In the first place it is
entirely too low and snia 1, and docs not
line with the front windows. If anything
it should be higher than the windows in
stead of lotver, as It is. With such a build
ing the main entrance should bo largo and
ornamental. Ii would have cost hut a few
dollars more and wc are sure it would have
looked much better and given better satis
faction. Ono John W. Home nnd lady were in
Union last week. Ho is in tho ulano aud
organ tuning business and we think is

here, but we are inclined to tho belief that
his most paying "Job" was in beating W.
E. Bunker out of a week's use of a team
and buggy and having Mr. Bowker paj tho

where he left them when ho skipped on the
westbound train. His bill at Mr. (iood

AN IMPORTANT BILL.
Tho Koyal Baking Powdor Condemned in
tho New YorU Legislature
New York Pres-.j
Last Monday Mr. Kolly introduced
the following bill in tho assembly. A
ciircf nl rending of it will show that it
in u vory important, ono.
An Act to prevent tho tiso of poison
ous and injurious ingredients in
baking powders,
Wiikukab, Unking Powders manu
factured in this fctiito, known ns tho
"R0YA1" nlum and other Bilking
A Perfect Baking Powder.
Tho constantly growing demand for Dr. Price's
Cream Baking Powder, the standard cream tartar powder
for forty years, is duo to two causes.
FIRST: The extreme care exercised by the manu
facturers to make it perfectly pure, uniform in quality, and
of highest raising power.
SECOND: The recent investigations exposing tho
fact that certain other brands of baking powder contain
ammonia and still others that wero found to contain alum.
These unscrupulous manufacturers are being found out,
and the consumers arc giving them a wide birth.
Nothing is left to chance in tho manufacture of Dr.
Price's Cream Baking Powder. Chemifits arc employed to
test every ingredient as to purity and strength. Hence;
its marvelous purity and uniformity. Each can is like
every other. It never dissapoints. BEST is ALWAYS
the CHEAPEST.
