Wo, Ashmead Suddenly Disappears at La Grande. Wm. Ashmead, a young farmer living near Island City, went to Im Grande on Tuesday of last week to do some trading. He put his hor.-e up in the McClure stable, saying he would return for it in the evening. He made some purchases at .ome of the stores and paid bills to the amount of $200 or $300. after which he returned to the stable and tied some bundles on the luck of his saddle, pre paratory to starting home, but before departing invited the hostler at the stable to repair to a saloon anil take a drink. The hostler accepted, and the two men went to a saloon. After taking it drink the hostler returned to the stable. Ashmead left the saloon but never called for his horse, and up to the present time nothing has been seen or hoard of him. It is the opinion of a majority of the citizens of La Grande that ho skipped out, but others think that he was foully dealt with, as it was thought that he had nlwut $!00 on his person. An attachment was served on omo of his property a short time ago ind it may lie that he has left the coun try. At any rate the allair is slirouded in nivsterv and nas tne appearance- in mother Skiff case. Mining Notes Geo. Lindgrccn came down from Cor nucopia yesterday. He informs us that io and his partners, Fred Stem and Chas. Delta, have just placed a Hunt- ngton mill on their property, the Nor way mine, but owing to tho early fall of snow they will be unable to put it in running order this winter. They will resume work in the early spring. They uive a good ledge with a live foot vein of free milling ore. The Davis quartz mill at Cornucopin tas been shut down for the winter on account of the deep snow, but will lxi started up again in the spring. The O. G. M. Co;, of Cornucoiia, are still running their chlorinator, success fully treating ore. While the mining camp of Cornucopia s quite dull at present, everyone con nected with tho mines has great hopes of the future prosperity of the camp. Several small deals are under way which promise to be of great benefit to all concerned' There is about twenty inches of snow at Cornucopia at present. Another rich strike is reported in the vicinity of Sanger, near the Lily White mine. The ore is said to be tho richest ever exhibited from anv mine in Union countv. A. Howard was down from Telocaset Tuesday. He is interested m some of the mines in that section and reports great hopes of the future prosperity and permanency of the camp. Mr. H. 0. Deirks, of Milwaukee, Wis cousin, who is interested m tne leio caset mines, is in the city and gives a very favorable report concerning their development and feels confident that his property is very valuable. A few davs ago Mr. Luther Wagner, a gentle man of prominence in tho mining world as an expert, visited these mines and he, nlso, reported favorably on them Mr. Dierks and associates will continue development of the mines all winter and it is very probable a mill will bo in operation on them in the near future.

From parties over from Ia Grande we learn that tho Island City stage was hold up by three men, while just enter ing the town of Island City, Tuesday evening. Tho robbers secured $1.75. Mr. Sam. Haynes, of this city, while trying to back a wagon last Saturday met with an accicent in which one of his hands was badly mashed, one lxino being broken. He also received some injuries in his side. The tramp swindler has taken a long breath, spit, on his hands and grasped u linn hold upon a new swindle. Two rogues watched the newspapers for estray notices and ono of them goes and looks at tho animal. Of course the unsuspecting farmer, on application, shows tho beast and tho fellow decides it is not his, and then returns to his partner and describes the animal mi nutely to him. No. 2 then goes to the farmer and and after proving by a thor ough description that he is the rightful owner of the animal, says he cannot well take it away and oilers to sell it at a rgain. The farmer buys and in a few days the rightful owner comes along and claims tho animal and the farmer is out just that much. Exchange. Union Is In It. We were somewhat surprised last week while in Union, to beo the sub stantial improvements that aro going on at that jilace, among which aro tho large flouring mills and tho new school hotnfe, which stand second to none in this sec tion of the state. Tho enterprising people of that little city havo just right to bo proud of their school building, since thoy havo put their right foot forward to securo its construction, and now that this is dono thoy need not fear that a stranger will go away, after hav ing visited their place, saying that Union is in need of educational advan tages. Tho board has used good judg ment in Uh selection of teachers for tho present torm, and no doubt a jirosperous term will bo tho result. Elgin Recorder. A Nightmare.
