VERY UNJUST.

The ravenous Democratic crew
who wrestle with a mighty hunger
for the position vacated by the un-
timely death of Mr.. w. b. Carter
has impudently, and in a manner to-
tally uncalled for, brought the name
and circumstances of his widow be-
fore the public, insultingly declaring
that il she is In needy circumstances
she should be "cared for by the socl-
eties to which her husband belonged
or by public charity."-Bee.
Tho Bee Is very unjust In its
charge, as not single newspaper has
made any such remarks as are quoted
from it above. Some obscure CORES.
pondent of the Standard was tho au-
thor of the words quotee, but we be-
lieve every Democratic newspaper
has favored the plan of appointing
some one to the position OF State
Printer until September who will
give the profits to the family of w.
B. Carter. The Bee may gain a lit
tie political capital by its action, but
no other paper in the State would
stoop so low for the reward.

AZ IMMENSE FIzD.

The now gold mines discovered
about six miles from Baker City
about month ago, has been pros
pected Off and on since 1864. Us
richness is now declared to bc i'm
mense, while its extent is rs yet un-
known. 1t is owned by Geo. Hayes
and son and John Cavens, who are
working 1t under tlie name OF Hayes
& Co, and are said to be taking out
OF the pocket with q hand mortar sIg)
per day. The ledge incresses III
width and richness as they proceed.
They have already taken out s2o, coo.
1t Is OF course impossible TO estimate
the value OF the mine, and lis discov-
cry IS regarded as astonishing, be-
cause 50 long delayed. Indications
are that Baker City will divide the
mining boom with Seattle, with
chances largely in favor of the for
mer, because OF the close proximity
Of the mines aud their easier access.
From present appearances eIhere's
millions in it"

A special dispatch to the New York
EVeai,sg Pest says that Senator Conk-
ling only few days ago said that he
had information from Illinois which
made him confident that the State, at
its coming convention, viii declare
for Grant, and he considered Grants
nomination at Chicago absolutely
certain. A special to the Herald

He says that Grant will be nomi-
mated and elected by a great majeri-

should have suddenly swooped aud torn
from our sight one SO full of the vlgor OF
youth, 50 free from baleful vices, SO en-
vironed by youthful hopes, and fair promises
for the future. Our young friend was the
son of Robert NJ. Jones, deceased, a well
known merchant of this city. Closing a
partial course at Wake Forest College IN
1870, he began the study of medicine under
DR.. f. Burke Haywood, and in 1873 gradu-
ated from Bellevue Hospital. He settled in
Raleigh, and though subject to disadvan-
tages incident to youth and strong competi
ton, steadily arose in practice, in popular
opinion, and in the good will of his fellow
professionals. He held the position of See
rotary of the Academy of Medicine, and
Examiner of the Knights of Honor which
societies attended his funeral in a body.
The fact that nearly forty carriages of lead
ing citizens followed the remains from the
Isl Baptist church to lakewood, is a testi-
mouial to the high es'imation wherein his
memory is held. Although our acquain-
lance was but short and casual, few, save
his kindred, and she who was to have been
as one of them, will miss him longer. -
