recently paid $1,000 for . half interest Ia

The Brownsville Times says; "Wm
Robe, superintendent Of the Calipooia and
Blue River Mill and Mining Co, Is IN the

Vorable for big rush To the mines In the
spring. The tunnel on the Poorman claim

A FARNFR's MIsrAKr.-The first OF the
week as a well-known farmer residing
about fifteen miles west of Corvallis was
returning home from Independence in
an intoxicated condition he stopped at a
farm house and undertook TO enter with
out the usual formality of obtainind per-
mission. The man discovered that the
lady OF the house was alone and redolb-
led his efforts to gain admission, all the
while using insulting and obscene Ian
guage. He was endeavOring to make an
entrance through 4 window when the
lady seized a shotgun and attempted to
discharge it toward the intruder. The
cap failed to explode, but q second at
tempt was more successful. The charge
of shot grazed the side OF the mans face
and he fled. The offender has a respec-
table family and when sober is well
behaved himself and the incident is un-
fortunate for all concerned.-Benton
Leader.

Thompson, son of DR. Thompson, of Cor
wallis, by an accident run piece Of glass
In one OF his legs, near the knee. lie
called on a Corvallis doctor who succeed.
cd In getting some Of the glass, ali he
thought, out. Mr. Thompson's knee in
stead of improving got worse, and became
stiff causing him 10 walk stiff legged. As
II was insisted that the glass was all out
and the trouble was probably of a rlIeu-
matte nature, Mr. Thompson let the matter
run, until yesterday, when he came TO
Albany and had DIR Maston examine his
leg. The doctor took out piece of glass
about three-foufths ~ one-half inch,
with a sharp point, and Mr. Thompson can
see big imp ovement, last night sleeping
without being kept awake fyr the first
time since the accident.
ScIo PArNT.-Scio Is fortunate In hsv-
ing a natural paint factory located here,
says a correspondent OF the Journal. The
mine Is located seven miles south of Scio.
A good deal of very satisfactory work Is
being done with It.. A visit TO the factory
brought forth the fact that they are turning
out seven different colors. The ore, OF
which one hundred and FIVE tons is in the
factory,is of deep brown and very greasy
10 the touch. Wherever a seam occurs on
the rock a slight coating of iron is observed.
The ore by chemical analysis recently
made shows sixty per cent of iron. The
different colors consisting Of brown, natur-
al, vermilion, slate, lead, yellow and a
lightest shade, are produced largely BY
difference In the degree Of heat 10 which
factured very cheaply and will prove an
addition to The many resources OF Oregon
