I he machinery to be used is that now In a plant at Astotii, which .Mr. Cannon has recently come into possession of tluoui;h some business transaction.

I I'he mines hi theciipperdisttlctol Union county are making a splendid showing , and gaining a reputation as the coming copper lields of the west. A. I. Vaughn, one ol the locators ol the now Unions Vaughn mine in Union countv, said a tew davs age: "Neer in the history ol min ing in eastern Oregon has there been such development in our copper belt, and so manv good properties opened as are now show u alorg Snake river. We are inter ested in many properties lor miles up and down the liver, lu tunnel No. i ol the Iron Dyke, we uncovered the other day copper pvrites which go 2't per cent lu copper and show good values in gold. The (Way liagle, another property on a parallel ledge with the Iron Dyke was ex tensively developed during the past winter, and now shows tremendously licit co jper pyrites and gold. We have had many good offers lor this property, but believe that it is good enough to keep. I'he (Ileal H viand Hoy mine, located at Bingham, Utah, owned hv the Standard Oil company, runs but sis and one-half to tight per cent lu copj-er, with the same character of ore a ours."

Officials connected with the sheriff's ollice have discovered and are now pre pared to thwart i plan for a general deliv ery from the county jail In this city. I'hursday afternoon surpicious action on the part of certain inmates of the jail aroused the attention of the deputies and a strict watch was immediately placed on all the prisoners, with the result that late Iliursday evening one of the guards sta tioned on the south side of the court house discovered the prisoners actively engaged in sawing the steel bars which protect the corrodor windows. The deputy from his post of observation, had only a narrow crevice in tile wall to peep through and could not make out distinctly the party using the saw, and in anticipation of fur ther work on the bars Ivlng attempted, nothing lias been Intimated to the prison ers tliat their little plan had been discov ered. However, since the attempt was brought to light, the Inmates have all been kept In their cells, excepting during meal time, at which time a strict watch is kept on them. Singularly enough, im mediately upnji the discovery by the dep uty ol the attempt at delivery, the sawing ceased. One ol the bars had been sawed half lu twain, and the crevice Idled with beeswax. It Is thought that the fact of their being kept in the cells has aroused their suspicions, as heretofore they have i been granted much freedom. There are six prisoners conltned in the comity jail.
