F bom tub C apital M ink .—President John G. Wright and Director Edward Hirecb, of the Capital Mining company, returned late last night from a short trip to their mine on the north fork of the Santiam. The gentlemen started early Wednesday morning for the-purpose«! seeing for themselves the progress that had been made in developing the mine, and of investigating the report of the rich strike that had been made. They found work going ahead satisfactorily. The shaft has been sunk 28 feet, and will probably be dug to a depth of 30 feet more, when a crosscut to the vein will be made. This will be about 40 days hence, and then it is litely that the work will be abandoned for the winter. Messrs. Wright and Hirech return stronger than ever in the conviction that the mine will prove a big bonanza. They brought specimens of ore from the vein which was penetrated a short distance a few days since. It is a fine specimen of ga lena ore, and is rich in silver, with some gold. Just watch out fjr the Capital mine.— Salem Slatttman. \\ ->v ’ CARLTON. 'October 9, 1888. • Mr. C. E. Ladd and wife are visiting with W. A. Howe to-day. J. E.
