The Galkna Mink. 0 all the mines in the Santlatn district, the Galena is being worked the most assiduously. Three shifts ot men are now enyaged in digging a tun nel into the mountain, under the direction of Superintendent Early. They are pro gressing at the rate of one foot per day.and have already penetrated the mountain about thirty feet. The tunnel is being dug at right angles with the three leads which run through the mountain, and will inter sect each ot them. The distance to the first lead is about sixty feet. It is Intended to dig the tunnel to a depth of fr'oo feet. When it is learned that the cost per foot is about $20, some idea of the magnitude of the undertaking may be had. Operations will continue without interruption during the coming winter. Statesman . A Finis Thing. The Dizmocuat is a little better pleased with the Charter Oak range, with its cold air gauze door, now on exhibition at W. C. Tweedale's than with anything that has come under its notice for many days. Some of its qualities as shown on the exhibition under the charge of Mi. Leet speak in very strong language for the range. It works quicker, surer and bet ter Roast meat only loses a very small percentage, while in the ordinary range the loss is 35 per cent. Steak is broiled in the oven without watching or turning, and eggs arc roasted much .o their improve ment. No other stove can roast eggs, In baking biscuits, bread or cake it is a re markable institution, as it is in everything, liy all means see it. His Ex per in Nc es. The licvtcw tells the following live experience on the part of Uncle Dave Prine : "Last Saturday Uncle Dave Prine returned from Missouri, where he had been with several car-loads of horses for sale. He report a very dull sale fcr horses in that State, though he succeeded in selling what horses he took with him. He had considerable experience in the cities of the East. One day he eatne in collision with a cable street car and nearly knocked it out of balance, and on another occasion he tried to knock a lightning express train off the track. The train escaped without damage, but Uncle Dave was considerably used up." A Curious Fact la China school be gins at daylight and continues until it is tno dark to read. This is a bit of information for those who wish to seek portions as teachers in the Celestial Empire, and may ; also account for the diagonal slope of the j Chinese optio, which is probably thus bent i out of shape by study in the pliant years of : immaturity. In Albany, too, Conn tiros, the popular grocers, have about the same way. They are always at their post from a little after daylight to dark. Call oo them for pure groceries, vegetables and the best crockery ware. Theatrical. MHis Natural Life, ' to be presented by the Nellie Boyd troup Satur day eveniug; is one full of thrilling interest, j and as given to an audience by this troup : is one ot the best entertainments on the road. The cait is a remarkably strong one. C 0 Maubury as Richard Devineis one of the heBt actors of. the day, and Nellie Boyd aa Sarah Purfoy has few equals. "His Natural Life" will be a treat which our citizons should not miss. A Bbautifcl Gift. The senior editor of this paper was made the recipient yesterday evening of a moat beautiful gift by Master Lee Payne in the shape of a large handsome magnolia blossom from a tree growing in the yard of Mr Martin Payn in this city. It measures about seven inches in, diameter. Thanks, young friend. A Moral. Last evening a lady adver tlsed a canary bird that stopped at her houoc. This morning bright and early the delighted owner of the bird, who Is not even a subscriber to the Democrat rushed into the office for directions, and the canary bird, a valuable one, was soon In her hands. It pays to advertise in a paper the public will read anyway. Less. The total taxable property In the county this year, to wit : $5,445,964, is $59,106, less than last year, a fact not due to the depreciation of property, which, on the contrary has been generally raised, but to the withdrawl of foreign mortgage money and considerable of the school Mafrieu.

HOME ANI ABltOAD, C C Mauhury is a great actor. "Mis Natural Life" Saturday night Business is uncommonly good in this city now. Hon O P Coshaw, of Brownsville, isin the city. Ttie llichardson is now towing rocks for the government. Several noble red men and their wives are in the city to-day. The V U and W F will move to-morrow into the F& aI block.

Mou who come from Crook county and buy their wititur supplies iu Albany say they save about S 100 in $100 worth purchased, so much cneapor are things here. Parties who have beea at Salem claim there are several cases of small pox in that city; but we doubt if there is anything more tnan a case or two ot varioloid. Mr Thos Jones will soon move his barber shop into the new fetrahan block the place vacated by him will be occupied by Mr Ihos Hopkius, who will run a plumbing shop. A reward of $100 will be paid for informa tion leading to the arrest and conviction of the fiend who recently placed a bottle of strychnine lo the spring at the camp ground at Philomath, says a corresponded of the (Jorvalli Timet . The amount of insurance carried in Linn county is properly quite large. In former years this was carried mostly by . foreign oompaiuos; but gradually our borne com panies are getting their share, and in this r spect the Albany company is coming to the Iront. it should have more than its share, for it is safe and reliable. The following from the Corvallis Times has such a fanny jingle to it that we publish it, though we wouldn't be guilty of writing anything iike it ourselves : ' The last num ber of the Yaquina Post was the most attrae tive one wn have ever seen issued by Van Cleve 'by jersey' it was printed on brown paper aud well tilled with stereotypes." Ashland, tor, seems to be well filled with newcomers. The Tidings says: "As an il lustration of the great demand there is in Ashland for dwelling houses, a lady who has two to rent iu prospective says that she has from onoto three applications daily for them. Every tenantablo dwelling in town is occu pied, and some of them are shared hy two families." The Democrat has heretofore re marked that it thought that city had the best prospects of any Southern Oregon c'ty. Crook County. On Tuesday evening a warrant was sworn out of Justice Luck ey's court charging Henry Stroud with having set fire to Benswanger's brewery, which was burned Tuesday evening. The preliminary examination took place Thurs day. All the evidence produced by the prosecution was circumstantial, though when linked together made quite a chain of testimony that was difficult t explain away, and though not positively fixing the guilt upon the accused party, was deemed suf ficient to warrant the holding of the de fendant to appear before the next grand jury . . . .f rlnevine always nas oeen ana al ways will V one of the best business points In Eastern Oregon.

Every one in this vicinity is wishing for rain. The grain is all in the warehouses and the straw in the sheds. The steam threshers have done most of the threshing this season ; but is this econ einy for the fanner who has a small farm? When a man feeds hisown team and boards himself can he not do it cheaper than he can hirea steam thresher and pay 5 and 7 cents per bushel.

A minister traveling in Eastern Oregon stopped at a wayside inn for dinner, when the chicken was passed he (like other men of the profession) picked out a leg but find ing It full feathered he concluded to. take an Inside piece, so he took the liver when, to his surprise, it was feathered also.
