Visions of shnfiiing off this mortal
coil. Ito which he was opposed from
principle,) y fitted through his mind: 81
he determined to give Dallas wide

| THE LEE MONUMENT Portrait
Eli Carter. Esq, Of this city, has the
Oregon agency for the portrait of the
great Confederate captain, Gen. r. L.
Lee, which fs being sold to raise funds
to erect a monument over his grave, at
! the Washington and Lee University,
at Lexington, Virginia. The portrait
is life size steel engraving, in which
it has been the aim Of the artist to
master the most minute detail of tea
ture and expression and embody freely
the character of the sfbject. The sue
cess, i'm this particular is probably
without parallel in the history of steel
portrait engraving. SO true TO nature
is it that one might almost expect to
see the shadow of thought pass over
his grave majestic face. The portrait
is sold at very reasonable cost and
), the worthy object of the enterprise
ought to commend it to the patronage
of every admirer of the great and good.
A copy Of the portrait can be seen at
Mr.. Carter's Office, in this city.
FROM OcHOco MINES j. r. Her
rem, Esq, has returned to this city
from Ochoco, and says he is by no
means sanguine Of the richness Of the
newly discovered mines in that region.
There are about so men at work on
4 Ochoco and its tributary gulches, some
of whom have developed very good
prospects. A company from Canyon
: City are opening creek dam (aboui
four miles long) and everybody else
over there seems to be waiting to see
what the result of their work will be.
8 They have already gone down about
Is feet and have not yet found bedrock.
Prospectors have no trouble In finding
"color" in any of the canyons or gulch.
es about there, but they find nothing
sufficiently fiattering upos2.which ta
base hopes of adequate reward for the
labor of mining. From Mr.. Herren's
report it is scarcely probable that the
Ochoco mines will create any very
great stampede from other sections.
