INTERESTED IN THE MiHEs.-A New
York man wants to know about the Al
bany Co.'S Santlam mines. Here II IL IN
nutshell, The Albany Mining & Milling
Go have twelve good claims and capital
stock Of 100000. About 100000 have
been spent In developing the mines, In
cludlng the new ten stamp mill and saw
mill. The saw mill Is running with a
capacity OF about 10000 feet day and
the stamp mill, one Of the hest on the
coast, Is being rapidly placed In position,
and will be running In November, on the
Bonanza claim. Two tunnels are now In
2So aud ago feet with shafts and cross
cuts. The assays have been universally
good. Forty tons OF ote broken up by a
small mill was the best test, showing
nearly $aso to the ton. The lead In the
Bonanza Is ak TO eight feet and seema In
exhaustable. The company has enough
ore In sight to IaAt nearly year. The
mining district is big one, sixty miles
from Albany and about twenty from the
Oregon Pacific railroad. aud there Ia yet
big field there for prvspcetors. This Is
undoubtedl, one OF the finest camps In
the u $ and the work cf the new inili,
the DEMocRAr predicts will verify the
fact and open the ewes OF the mining
world. Some OF the ore from the mines
has been on exhibition at the exposition
and will be taken east on the Oregon car.
To experienced miners II speaks for itself
at sight.

We understand that nr IIill, the prime
mover In the Lebanon and Sodaville
motor line. Is somewhat disappointed In
not securing the right OF way through
our city. An enterprise which promises
so much 10 the terminal stations should
not be baked by trihes.

BIT ALL MEAss.-The Oregon Trader, Of !
this city says: Arrangements are being |
made for the extension ol the Albany |
street car line TO the eastern part OF IL Q |
city, which will be done providing the |
property owners along the line will |
donate a sufficient amount, In either |
money or land, 20 pay for the expense OF |
building the road, which will certainly |
be done, as the running Of street cars
into that already fine residence portion |
of the city would increase the value OF
property there more than one hundred |
per cent. A petition will soon be in cir
culation and II the necessary encourage
ment is given the cars will be running /
there early in the spring.
Nor ELorExESr.-The elopemcnt case
ct Junction this morning was dismissed |
on motion OF Deputy Prosecuting At
torney Potter. The law makes IL crime
to entice girl under sixteen years Of
age from home, and the father o. Edna /
Smith supposed she was under that age
until this morning, when consulting the
family records he found she was sixteen
last April. Her father awore out the
warrant too hastily, evidently, and
should have the costs TO pay In the case.
Med Thompson was therefore discharged
from custody.-Guard.
r X coSsscrIoN.-we now have rail-
road connection with the outside world
On Wednesday MIR Coins received the
engine from the s company, his en-
gineer taking charge OF II In the evening
and running II from the junction down 20
the milt While this engine Is hardly
equal either In appearance or working
power to a modern Mogul, still II IL far
ahead Of mule power and beats nothing all
hollow. The present arrangement Is 10
run our trains only 10 West Scio, but we
hear that the moving Of the depot from
West Scio TO Shelburn Is being contem-
plated by The s p company, and when
that Is done Of course our train will run
TO that point, making connection with the
Oregon Pacific as well.-Scio Press.
PROBABLY LovEsIcK.-A couple Of our
young people drove down to Albary Sun
day afternoon and took a spin through the
streets Of that burg. They report having
seen more empty houses during their
short 'tay there than during a year In
Corvallis. Gazette. In view of the fact
that several of Corvallis best citizens
have left the place recently on account OF
its deafness, the above comes with very |
poor grace. Nearly every tenantabie
house In Albany Is occupied. and we have
had good building year also. Albany
Is going ahead in a healthy style that Is
very gratifying.
AsorHER PlcKLE.-Eugene has a sewer
system but cannot use IL. The main
sewer empties into the Willamette river
above the wa.erworks station, and the
secretary OF that company will enjoin
each and every person that attempts to /
connect with the sewer system. In AL
bany the waterworks company never |
thought OF enjoining people from con-
Meeting with the Calapooia sewer, nor
even from throwing things into the |
ditch, but the Eugene company is evil

A WOODEN LEG. Jack Young, news
agent on the 0 P railway, had the misfort-
une to break his leg on the 18th inst -
Bro wnsvile Times. AS the item origI- |
