not make mines, but it is also truo that nil mines were once prospects. Here is what the exHrts my of the Diadem: F. F. Grime,
a prominent mining man of Republic, Wash., says: "I consider the Diadem tho lct pmrcrty I have ever examined. It is surely n re
markable showing and, 111 my judgement, tho making ot n great mine. Hon. tjnas. Homier, connected with Uranite Mountain mine,, in Mon
tana, says: "In nil my experience as 11 mining superintendent, extending over a ncriod ot 20 years, 1 consider tho Diadem is by odd the
mine I have ever been connected with." Hon. J. K. Pardee, a mining expert well known all over Utah, Idaho and Montana, says: "In
nil
the years I have mined I never saw a prospect that made tho showing of the Diadem mine. A. L. McEwen, M. E., one of tho lust known Erifrtlsh
experts throughout the entire northwest, savs: "For an undeveloped prospect, I consider it among the very best I have ever examined. I believe
it will prove to be a great dividend paver when developed." Mr. Jnmcs O. Loundigan, M. E., of Republic camp, Wash., and Boundary district
British Columbia, says: "After making a large numlcr of assays from this propcty, I am convinced that it is tho best thing in Eastern Oregon
for the amount of development work done."

FAMOUS EATING HOUSES.
One of Them it at Austin Station on the
Road to Prairie City.
In early days when the Southern Pa
cific trains stopped at Aurora, then known
as Dutchtown, for meals, that place gain
ed an enviable reputation through the
hospitality of the proprietor of the Pioneer
hotel, Mr. Jacob Glesv, and the house
still enjoys a liberal patronage from
wheelman and local teamsters. Tourists
over the O. R. & N. never tire of singing
the praises of Grandma Munra, and the
Log-Cabin eating house, at Meacham, on
the summit of Blue mountains, where the
kindly face and gentle munner of the old
lady, together with a bounteous spread,
cheer the weary traveler on his journey.
There is another little lady in the Blue
mountains, presiding over a station that
is as deserving of mention as either of the
above. A stage trip over the eastern
Oregon roads has never been referred to
as a pleasure trip, and nothing short of
compulsion ever causes a passenger to
make the journey twice. The roads are
rough, the drivers and equipments none of
the best. After a ride of twenty-four
miles, crossing two mountain ranges, the
descent of the hills having been made at
break neck speed, the traveler Is weary
and ready to quit. The stage draws up
to the station, a large, well-furnished
house, and the passengers are escorted to
a reception room that bears the stamp of
welcome and good cheer on all sides. A
flowing fire in the large, old-fashioned
fireplace, occupptng one end of tne room,
soon dispels the chill felt after a long ride
lathe moataln air, and fits one to thor
oughly enjoy a good meal. The dining
room is even more cheering than the re
ception room and the table "fairly groans"
under the load of edibles prepared by
Mrs. Minot Austin, at Austin station, to
teaspt the appetite of the guests.
Not only are all the luxuries of the city
market found there, but as well the luxu
ries produced on a well appointed farm.
The manner of preparation Is that of a mas
ter hand, nothing being left to be desired,
and the table service Is of the best. The
half hour spent at this hospitable board is
long remembered as one of the genuine
enjoyments.
Mrs. Austin Is of southern parentage,
possessing that whole sonled spirit for
which the southerners are noted, and
takes pleasure In catering to the public.
Preferring her own home at the station to
the dining hall of a city establishment,
she lias repeatedly declined offers to take
charge of hotels.
The ride from Austin to the next station
Is usually made after dark and, while the
scenery is grand, it is only on moonlit
nights that the traveler can see the grand
old hills and forests, with occasional sil
very streams winding their way ocean
ward. Spanish Gulch Nugget Worth $2500.
The Eagle Is informed that a mammoth
nugget has just been taken Irom the
placer mine owned and operated by Robt.
Cannon, of Spanish Gulch, and W. H.
Johnson & Son, of John Day, down at
Mule gulch, in the Spanish gulch mineral
belt. The nugget weighed abou' twenty
five pounds and while It contained consid
erable quartz, it was valued at 12500.
This Is decldely the largest nugget taken
from the placer mines of Grant county
since the early mining days, when Bob
Marshal had a lio.ooo nugget stolen from
his mines on Vinsoncreek by a Chinaman.
This placer mine operated on Mule gulch
by Messrs. Cannon and Johnson pro
duced handsomely last season, and bids
fair to do equally as well this season.
They have a large supply of water and
will be able to continue the operation of
their mine until late in the fall. This
property is decidedly one of the most pro
ductive placer mines being operated In In
terior Oregon at the present time. Blue
