for selling liquor to the Indians also that we
have examined the County Jail we find FIVE
prisoners confined therein w. Adams, confined
for life; Thomas Davis for one year Chas. Hau.
bert, confined for safe keeping upon a charge Of
grand larceny; G. Newland, in custody to await
trial for selling liquor to Indians - also one
Barnes, committed at the last term of District
Court, We think the Jail is tolerable safe but
we recommend that fence be built from the
corner of the Jail at the foot of the stairs east to
the fencei also a fence from the southwest cOr>
Der of the jail, west TO the fence said fence to
be twelve feet high and substantially built, so
thatthe Jail yard can be kept free from tools,
wood aud clothes lines
We would recommend that public gambling

act (siringent) ia relation thereto.
We would further recommend that all classes
Of citizeos uphold the laws Of the country, aud
keep strict observance of the same.
Our session has been one of harmony to the

HOP CULrURE.-We were pleased to notice on
exhibition at the County Fair. specimens of hops
gfoEn in this valley. smIll and apparently
unimportant article, the specimen came very
nigh being overlooked, and it Is only by accident
that it is mentioned in the list of premiums. 1t
is uufIrtunate that so few persons are posted in
regard to the cultivation of hops, and from want
of knowledge fail to engage in a remunerating
branch of industry. We have gool authority
for saying that no branch of agriculture pays
better than hops. For brewers use the hops
grown on this coast have double the strength of
the imported. A cores OnieIt on Cle s. F.

that short poles and cross trailing IN Conflicting
cords produce better crops than high poles. Bat
look u your twlue. At least 5000 pounds OF
hops were lost by bad twine bre king and let

growers deceive themselves by using Iwtne

country. Wire would perhaps he preferable.

roots Of one years growth, and the crops will
double. 1t will be seven years, prOblbly, before

ton is deemed sufficient TO give an idea to
farmers of the inducement to 60 into hop culture.

A public meeting will be held at the Court
House on Monday evening next, at u o'clock
for the purpose of taking action in relation
to opening Of the Mullan Road, and looking
more particularly to securing from Congress
an appropriation for this purpose. The I'M
portance Of this highway to our material IN
terests has been so often discussed in these
columns that really there is nothing new. to
be urged. All know that our prosperity de-
pends upon secureing outlets for our surplus
products, and certainly Montana mustbe one
of our principal markets. The Boise coun-
try, even if it should regain its former pros>
perity, will draw its supplies of breadstutfS
from Grand Ronde and Powder River val
lies, thus measurably shutting off the de-
mand from that quarter. The crop In Grand
Ronde Valley this year alone is estimated at
from six to eight hundred thousand bushels
ofVheat, and if market offers this produc>
ton can be doubled or trebled. 1t is proper
that our true position should be understood,
TO the end that measures may be taken look
ing to the future. We know that as a conn
munity.we enjoy an unparalleled condition
of prosperity, but whilst enjoying the present
we should not be Indifferent to the future.
Other communities are springiug into exist
ence that must divide with US the trade on
which VIC have heretofore prospered, and
looking to this development it becomes US to
seek new outlets, and thus be prepared for
the changes that are soon to be upon US. A
community to be permanently prosperous
cannot afford to stand STILL and it is in obedi
euce to this law of progress that we should
constantly endeavor to extend the area of
country dependent upon US for supplies. The
man or community that attempts to stand
still is soon left high and dry, and it is on
this principle that we urge that immediate
and effective steps be taken to place US in
communication with a district of country
that for years to come will afford market
for our surplus products. A question of
this kind interests alike the farmer, the mer-
chant, and the mechanic, and hence we hope
that the meeting Of Monday night will be
fully attended, and that measures will be
taken that will show that our people whilst
enjoying the present, are not altogether in>
different to the future

Ed. STATESMAN The people Of Wslla
Walla aro more or less interested in there.
sources, prospective and actual, Of Eagle
Creek, and word from that corner will inS
terest many of your readers. Eagle Greek
district is properly quartz district; the
placer mines are not of much force. Outside
of Carter's Mill in Hogem, there are but
three living working quartz companies, viz. |!
''La Grand Gold and Silver Mining Compa>
n.y." "Granite Mountain Gold and Silver
Mining Company" and the "HumbOldt
Gold and Silver Mining Company" These
companies have all been fUtmed within a
year. To give you correct idea of these
companies and the quartz of the country,
| will give a statement of the actual con-
dition of each company:
The ala Grand Gold and Silver Mining
Company" have their Office in La GRIND.
They own nine mining claims, or 270O feet
on each of nine different ledges; FIVE of
which promises well, and three are rich, one,
the "Gem Ledge" is very rich FIVE ton,
worked in an arastra, yielded sllS per ton,
and was only an average lot Of quartz. The
company have out from 200 to 300 tons Of
good buartz. They have five stamp mil
which will be running in ten days when you
will be duly informed of the result. Stock
in this company sells readily at $40 per share
The Directors have judiciously kept the
company out of debt. Many Of the ledges
have been made feSi estate.
The ''Humboldt Gold and Silver Mining
Company" have their Office in Gem City, and
have 2700 feet on each of nine different ledg-
es. They own in all, "a 300 feet of quartz.
The company have done all their own work.
All their ledges have been improved, aud
FIVE of them made real estate. They are also
owners on the Gem ledge. Both companies
have tunnels run down on this ledge to the
depth of ninety feet. The ledge has widen
from to 35 inches and grows richer Their
finances are low, but not embarrassed have
not been able to put up mill. .
The "Granute Mountain Company" have
their Office in Portland, and have 5000 feet
OF quartz in all they own in the Portland,
Oregon Nelson and IS. Y. Cook lodges.
The company have water wheel erected and
in motion, "a turbine) that gives them 80
horse power; they have a furnace built but
have not got in all their amalgamating pans
yet (Ayers' process). Wood and water in
abundance; they can have 100 feet fall if it
is required. Their ledSes are situated in
Granite Mountain range, Is miles north of
the above company, aud vary in width from
g inches to IL feet vide, and men who pros
iess to be good judges say that they have
three lodges that will work $50 per ton A
tunnel run in on two Of these lodges 500 feet
would be at that distance, at least 5000 feet
below the surface, and the ledge is traceabIe
over this high mountain. The company, as
hear, is entirely free from debt. They have
but 1000 shares in the company and their
stock sells for s25 per share.
have not examined the copper interest
much &; hear the 'Shriver Copper, and the
Eighty per cent. miut 90 per cent, the
'Check-mate' and the Grand Daddy (three
ledges) are spoken very highly of.
