now points to the conclusion that In the
mines Of the Santiam during the present
season there will bc moro activity than
has been known in that region for years
and years, II ever. That the Santiam
hills are full Of the coveted metal none
can doubt, aud that something looking
10 its development will be done this

companies operating in that region are
marshallihg their forces, making ready
for big work at an early day.--Statesman.
The above Is encouraging and is about
the facts in reference to the minee, But,

there Il, no doubt, hidden IN our foot
hills wealth worth more than snutf.
