The Portland Standard very aptly
says that reading of the severe droughts
in New York, Virginia, Pennsylvania
and New Jersey, where wells and
streams are drying up, where crops
are burning to crisp and not ves-
tige of green can be seen while all
kinds of animal life are suffering with
intense heat and men being sunstruck,
the cool air of Oregon, its verdant
hillsides, and blooming gardens, its
bountiful crops and loaded fruit trees,
strike person with the contrast, and
he inwardly congratulates himself on
his far-western abiding place, where
crops neverf fail and the cryst streams
flow on forever.

The Broderick mine has been leased to
some parties residing at Columbia Hill,
and they are working 1t as drift mine,
with every prospect of making it pay.
They have been working it for three weeks,
but have not cleaned up yet to ascertain
positively whether it will pay to continue
drifting or not. The indications are, how
ever, that it will. The gravel is spotted,
being very rich in some places
and exceedingly barren in others.
During the past week pans of gravel
have been washed out that yielded
from 60 cents to 50 to the pan. If
the gravel continues to look as well as it
does now the lessees have a chance to
make big fortune. Nevada Transcript.

curing the services Of Prof. Torrens of Boston,
to teach vocal music. He has been teaching
vocal culture in the principal cities in the
State during the past year and is known as
very fine teacher. His wife will have charge
Of the instrumental department with such
assistance as she may need. They enter
upon their duties this week.
