FROM THE SANTIAM MINES. Henry
States has placed upon our table some
specimens of quartz, containing both
silver and lead, which were taken from
the Galena mines, on the middle fork
of the Santlam in this county. The
mines are being developed by the Port
land and Salem companies in partner
ship. They have tunneled into the
mountain about so feet, and also tun-
neled two wings from the main tun-
mel, each of which are about 20 feet In
length. specimens of the quartz have
been sent TO San Francisco for assay,
and the uliaers have the most conf.
dent hopes of a tiatterlne report from
it.EIf the mines turn out as antieipa'
ted lthowners have undoubtedly struck
a big fhing.n
