EromJ. H. Cummings, who re

Tuesday to make some different

a big strike by Hawkins and Kar-

county side of the Calapooia ridge,
lie says: “ 1 was coming past
their mine to come out, and they
invited me to look at their find,
and there is no question but they
have a large body of free milling
ore. 1 panned a pan or two of it
myself and found all kinds of
strings of free gold in the bottom
of the pan. They are getting $50
l»er ton out of it by the crude
methods they have of hauling it
1800 feet down the mountain side
on a hand-sledge to a rude arastra
made during the summer, and even
in tliis rude manner they are mak
ing good money. What we need
is a railroad to the Blue river dis
trict and we can show to the
world that we can produce as
much gold as any camp on the
Pacific coast.” — Register.
Year's Mineral Output.
According to estimates made by
mineral producing coriiorations of
the country, the total value of the
mineral yield in the United States
this year will be but a little less
than $2,000,(too,(too. If all the
gold mines in the world were eu
gaged to produce gold to pay for
this year’s mineral outturn in our
country, and if the rate of gold
production were the amount set
forth in the gold production statis
tics of last year, then all the gold
mines would have to work five
years to pay Uuele Sam’s bill for
what he will put down to his ore-
digging account for 1908.
The Kugene Register says: Mrs.
Mary Sharp of Cottage Grove, a
widow with four children, was in
Eugene Tuesday and got into all
kinds of trouble. She was sus

articles were found ou her person
She at first persistently denied
having taken the goods, but the
evidence was so strong against her
she finally had to admit taking
them in each case. She took a
silk scarf worth $2.50 from Dunn's
store; a remnant of Silk from
Friendly’s; a handsome purse at
H ill’s; a lielt from one of three
stores that carry the same kind;
and a remnant of ribbon. Only a
few of these were found about her
at first, but a lady deputy was se
cured to search her and found the
others secreted about her clothing.
She also had $32.50 in bills and
EIGHTIETH BIRTHDAY
HENEY APPEARS AGAIN
OF MRS. S. J. SCOTT
IN THE WITNESS BOX
San Francisco, Dec. 9.— Prancis
J. Heney appeared as a witness to
day at the trial of Attorney Frank
J. Murphy, accused of attempting
to bribe a veniremau in the Ruef
bribery case. The assistant prose
cuting attorney, who has not been
in public since he was shot down
in Judge l.awlor’s court room by
Morris Haas, appeared to be al
most entirely well. A slight dis
coloration of the right cheek
marked the spot where the bullet
of the would-be assassin had en
tered. His voice was full and
strong, proving the fear of its im
pairment to have been unwarrant
ed.
On December 5, at her home
near Creswell, Mrs. S. J. Scott
celebrated her eightieth birthday.
She was Ixirn Decembers, 1828, in
Sbelbv county, < >hio, and crossed
the plains with her father, Rev.
William Robinson, in 1847, riding
the entire distance on horse-back.
O f a family of 10 children she
and a sister alone remain. She
was married to W . J. Scott on
March 3, 1859, in Polk county,
Oregon, by Rev. Wilbur. O f all
the guests present at the wedding
she is the sole survivor. Her hus
band died on August 11, 1896.

ham Ruef was found guilty at 4
o ’clock this afternoon. When the
verdict was read nearly everybody
arose to their feet, but there was no
scene nor demonstration. Reuf
nearly fell from his chair when he
heard the verdict.
Heney entered the court room
shortly before the verdict was an
nounced. He sat at the end of
the table near where he was shot.
It was his first appearance since
he was shot.
WII.I, PRONOUNCE JUDGMENT SAT
URDAY.
Judge Lawlor, as soon as the
verdict was read, discharged the
jury and thanked them for the un
usual services exacted of them.
Judge Lawlor set uext Saturday as
the day for pronouncing judgment.
Reuf’s conviction renders him
liable to the maximum punishment
of 14 years in the penitentiary.
Reuf’s customary calm returned
in a few minutes aud he listened
to expressions of regret from
friends without a shade of emotion.
He declined to make any comment
on the verdict, saying he “ did not
wish to have his utterances distort
ed later.” As Reuf descended the
steps to enter the prison van that
conveyed him to jail, there were a
few faint jeers from the crowd,
but the presence of a score of de
tectives who surrounded him would
have discouraged any concerted
attempt at demonstration had any
existed.

heralded, and as he alighted from
the automobile and posed for the
newspaper photographers, a man
on the sidewalk proposed three
cheers, which were given by the
crowd across the street.
Notwithstanding all efforts of
the officers, when Heney entered
the court room, men and women
arose to their feet and cheered,
waving their hats and handker
chiefs. Heney proceeded directly
to the seat he occupied when Haas
shot him, after which he went to
the chambers of Judge Lawlor,
where he remained for half an
hour.
HOW THE JURY STOOD.
Foreman McNamara of the jury
stated tonight that the jury stood
eight to four for conviction on the
first ballot. At 3:20 in the after
noon two more were won over to
the conviction side on the fourth
ballot and on the fifth ballot a few
minutes later the jurors voted
unanimously “ guilty.”
