A prominent firm III San Franeisen who
deal extensively IN dried fruit, offer the iol-
lowing suggestions 70 Oregon fruit dryers.
With the approach q the season for dry.
| ing fruit in Oregon, we wish 10 offer a few
suggestions to farmers and others engaged in
this line Of business, regarding the method
and style Of packing, which will, in oui
opinion, If adhered to, result bcneficially tc
all concerned.
In the first place, in packing fruit nevel
mix poor and choice lots together Ii yol
have two qualities Of fruit, pack and marx
each separately and sell on their merits. II
the next place ''never top Off your fruit
that is, nice appearing fruit, when the pack
age is opened and the bottom filed with low
worthless trash, or low grade fruit. Man,
instances of this kind have come under oul
notice, and it is to the discredit Of any packei
engaging in such course Always let tn,
face Of the fruit be fair index Of the aver
age quality throughout the box or barrel
N the second place, actual tare should in.
variably be allowed on all packages. We
have frequently seen boxes that weighed nine
pounds only tared five pounds. Purchasers
Of dried fruit, as rule, are not willing TO
pay for wood at the rate Of seven to fourteen
cents pound
Mark plainly on each package the actual
gross, tare and net, and il is always well to
mark shippers initials also. Consignees
name or address is not necessary
In the third place, never, under any con-
sideration resort to the practice Of wetting
your fruit, If it is intended for sale in this
market Dealers have made very grievous
complaint of Oregon dried apples which had
been submitted to soaking" process just
before packing, and several cases are known
to us where apples in this condition have fer
mented, soured and proved total loss No,
gentlemen, put water in your whisky, if you
will, but give us our dried apples clear
Our long experience in handling dried
fruit, and our knowledge Of the wants and |
of dealers, has given rise TO
these suggestions, which we hope will be
kindly received
remain yours truly,

On account fef i'll health have had t

Every few days some one finds . new lead

Albany companies have SO far been doing
most Of the work. Afew days before start
ing for the valley l was over at the Nam
moth lend, and found that English was puah-
ing things along fast at that place He was
down 50 feet at that time, and had one Of the
prettiest shafts | have ever seen. The rock
is spotted to some EXTENT but seems to be
running into silver ore very fast, and we were
told that the assays showed that II was con-
stantly getting richer as the sinking Of the
shaft progressed.
''Young America" was about 40 feet deep
and was going down at the rate Of about one
foot per day. AS the rock is very hard it re-
quired great deal Of blasting to work this
ledge. Hardly any spots are found in the
quartz taken from this ledge, silver running
through all Of it. Assays made the day be-
fore left show that the ore now being taken
out will average about $50 per ton, and these
assays were made from all the different colors
Of quartz which could be found. The ledge
is now about two feet wide, and widening all

Story & Hitchcock have put up good
building just below Hackleman's rancho and

Iast Saturday morning about 3 aelqelk
sheriff Herrcn was awaksned " some aa-
usual noise, which seemed y come from h
cells On tho ground Aoor Of the Jail, and
hastily lighting candle he went down ~ aes
what had happened. lie found the prisoners
all IN the cell, and upon being interrogated
as to what had caused the noise, they said
they had heard nothing Of it. But as they
all had their clothing on it looked rather sus
picions and the Sheriff concluded he haf
better look around little. After going bach
into the front room he soon found out wha
had happeued The prisoners had cut
through the walls of their cell and the bricl
partition, the lower part of the cut being
just even with the floor When they had
cut entirely through the partition they came
to the Dashboard Of the front room, and as
day was already dawning and they had No
time to cut the board of, they undertook to
kick it loose This caused the noise which
awakened the Sheriff and put stop to
everything. The cell which the prisoners
occupied il built Of boards laid flat upon
each other and spiked, and through this the
prisoners cut with common jack-knife.
They hal been at work for several days,
putting the. splinters and brick in trunk
and keeping the tiunk up against the hole
when any of the officers were around. The
notorious Frank Wyman, George Anderson
and George Daniels were the ones that We're
confined in this cell, and they certainly
their work very we'll 1t seems
that they were very confident Of making
their escape through this hole, as the Sheriff
the next day found the following note writ
ten on fly leaf Of one of the books loaned
to them
