nothing to offer as an incentive to per-

SIMPLE RULE.-Thc Chicago Journal
gives a rew rule for computing interest,
and says it is so simple and SO true that
every banker, broker, merchant or clerk
should rost it up for reference. BY no
other mathematical process can the de-
sired information be obtained by SO few
figures
Six per cent.-Multiply any given
number of dollars by the number of days
of interest desired, separate the right
hand fgureand divide by six, the result
is the true interest on such number OF
days at six per cent.
Eight per cent.-Multiply any given
amount by the number of days upon
which it is desired to ascertain the inter.
est, and divide by forty-fve, and the re-
suit will he the interest of such for the
time required, at eight per cent
Ten per cent.-Multiply the same as
above and divide by thirty six, and the
result will show the rate of interest al
ten per cent.

A gentleman just down from Orc

along Loon Creek, now open, are paying
well. IL is now ii settled fact that these
mines on Loon Greek are rich, and camp
will be lively next spring. he reported
new discovery between Orc Graside and

some very rich quartz has been DIS

DIR. Thibodo informs US that team
ster in the employ of Mr.. Gail, had his
leg badly broken on Monday last. He
was coming doNn the mountain and went
to throw the brake on, when the sand
under his feet gave way throwing him
under the wheels, and the wheels passing
over his leg broke it very badly between
the knee aud ankle. He was doing well
at last accounts.
On Monday night the saloon of George
Chapman and the saddle shop of Mr..
Christ was broken into and the money
drawer taken From the former about
sixty dollars in greenbacks, and from
the latter only few dollars were taken.
We have noticed for some weeks past
that there are quite a number OF men In
town who have no visible means OF sup
port, and it is not at all surprising to US
to hear of houses being broken open.
Some one will be caught very soon.

The Orc Grande Mining Company has
struck large quartz lead on Applegate,

well in free gold. The vein is twelve
feet wide, and dips to the northward.
From the Neacs we learn that r. FL.
Dunlap, of Ashland, while out on Evans
creek, found an immense bed of stone
coal. The coal is of superior quality,
and in such quantities as to supply this
section of country for an unlimited num-
Der of years.

that they have no such luxury as loafers

AFTER HIM.-The Gregonian is after
a fussy little fellow named Philip Ritz,
who, by some unexplained manner, OBJ
tanned the appointment of U. S. Marshal
of Washington Territory, and is using
the Office in the interests of the Democ-
racy. The Oregonian says that Ritz is
not now and never was member of the
Republican party. He never voted a
Republican ticket in the Territory. All
his appointees since he received his pres
ent Office are Democrats 1t, therefore,
demands the immediate removal of the
whole batch of treacherous small FRY, com
mencing with Flanders and ending with

Mr.. NJ. Stoker, late of Dallas, Polk

first is " high and low water indicator"
for steam boilers. A copper float, inside
the boiler, swims on the water surface
and by means of the lever to which it is
attached, indicates the stage of water
The idea is very simple and must work
