The Rlae Racket Digglags.
|. ID. MClLWA1N,
Albany, Or.

So much has been said about these ira
ditienal diggings. or real ones, we knew
not which, that we give the prevail ing
legend or story. Years ago when OK teams
tSok the place of the steam horse in Ihe
''westward no" journeys of our ancestors,
band Of immigrants were vending their
way through the Blue Mountains, about
two hundred miles east of Prineville,
when child belonging to one of the
number sickensd and died. In the dig.
ging Of grave for it gold was found in
such quantities that one ofths men gather
ed some Of it together and hamme red il
around one Of his wagon spakes. After
placing board at the head of the grave
with the name of the child on il, the party
beiuE nearly out of food, If not lost, hast
ened on to get out Of the mountains, They
Afterwards ascsrtained that the gold was
genuine of the best quality, and there are
several living to day who saw the battered
piece. Another version Of the story is
that the gold was found in a stream by q
grave otherwise the story is the same.
Repeated efforts since then have been
made to find this golden Eden, but with
out avail, although no stones have been
left unturned to hunt ut the grave with
two juniper trees near it. Recently Mr..
Johu Davis, of this county, on having the
matter described to him, remembered TO
have ssen grave in the region Of the
supposed diggings, having the two juniper
trees, with beard containing the identi-
cal name Of the dead child, while driving
cattle there . few years ago. So well sat
isfied Is he that he can &c to the place
that an expedition OF several gentlemen,
we are informed, will soon start to find
this wonderful region of the precious
metal. Besides Mr. Davis we have hearl
mentioned as possible members Of the
party, Messrs Dsvi1 Froman and A. s.
Looney, Of this city. It is to be hoped
they may succeed in the enterprise.

Four teams Of Texas immigrants were in
the city yesterday on their way from Wash

the passengers was genuine Texas darkey,
whose foot apparel had worn out. An
effort was made to find something that would
fit him. He tried all the stores, and then
resorted to the river skiffs and finally to the
Albany steamer, but everything was too
small. As final resort Jackson, the barber,
was hunted up. Verygenerouslyhe brought
out pair of old shoes. which were too small
for him. and 10, and behold they slipped on
