REGARDING THE

The following letters regarding the rais

Dr. E. E. Goucher, McMinnville:
D bab S ib :—Would you be kind enough
to let me know by mail this p. m. if the
danger is about past in smallpox, if -it

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. \\
