Notice" is hereby given that the an mini meeting of 'the stockholders of the Wallowa National bank of Enter prise Oregon, will be held at the office of their banking house in Enterprise Oregon on Tuesday, January 13, 1903, between the hours of. 10 a. m. and I p. m. for the election of directors for the ensuing year and for the traneac action of any other business that may legally come before said meeting. Dated Dec. 8. 1902. W. R. Holmes, Cashier. Died by Her Own Hands. There is an impression from mining men from other states that the Ore gon law requires them to tile an alii pavit of the annual assessment work done or a mining claim. Such is not the case, The law does not provide for it and it is n needless expense and trouble, When an application made for a patent to a claim, all sue I proof must be furnished to the LT. S government but not before, the stat of Oregon does not require it. Wm. Green and Scott King of Seattle Wash, arrived in Enterprit-e on Thursday and visited friends aud relatives on Trout creek Friday. Koth gentlemen went to Alaska dur ing tin; rush three oi four years ago and are reported to have made con sidetable money in the mines. Mr. King is now proprietor of a drug store in Seattle. Tney were passen gers on Saturday's outgoing stage. G. A. Rogers left Thursday morn ing for his Imnaha mines together with four or five more men. He has had built a new provision boat, for towing purposes, about twenty-five f;vt in length, and this was loaiicl full of supplies. Mr. Rogers has a force of eighteen men at work on his properties and expects to keep things rushing all winter. Every day's work brings forth better results and there arc surely uplrmlid pros pects ahead for Mr. Rogers; and bo ore long hn will have a line paying mine up tho Snake. Evory indica tion boars out this belief. -Asotin Sentinal. Considerable anxiety is being felt among the friends of Samuel Sissou and J. A. Pennel the well known prospectors who left here some six weeks ago in the interest of the Whir wind Gold Mining and Exploration Company. They had recently retur ned from tho head of the Imnaha much elated over a mammoth copper zone and a lodge of molybdenite of apparently great value and after s cuting an ample supply of provisions, tools and pack animals returned to continue . investigations. Tlie deep snow fall on tho Eaglo range will pre vent their return over tho summit and to follow down tho Imnaha may have beon oomplotely blockaded. Union Scout Our whole community was electri fied Monday evening by the news that Miss Alis Ready had been found dead t the home of Mr. and Mrs. M. Austin of Paradise. Miss Ready had been helping Mrs, Austin with her house work. It seems that on the fatal day she bad- very willingly on her part been left alone for a few hours. One of the young men of the house, Ray Austin was the first to reach and enter the house and behold tko young lady dead and cold on the floor. An alarm was given and the coron er s jury aft the inquest rendered verdict of suicide. A thirty two Winchester rille was found lying near had doubtless been cocked, the muz zle placed near hei heart anil the trig ger touched off with a small stick The bullet after passing through her heart aud body embedded itself in the ceiling above. A note which had been written with painstaking care, the letters being nicely shaded with an indellible pen cil, was found on .the tablo and read "Death comes to all but once." Miss Aln Ready was bern Dec. 22, 1874, in Losanamus Co. Colorado, and came to Oregon in 1889. She came with her parents to Paradise in June "laOO, and died Dec. 15, 1902, at the age of 27, years 11 months and 24 days. Funeral services were conducted in the Star school house by the Rv. Henry Martin on the 18th. The re mains were interred in the Paradise cemetery. Tho deceased was a -quiet highly esteemed young lady. It is rumored that a disappointment in a love affair caused the mooy broodings whicl led to her sad death.
