The outlook for mining was never bet
ter than at this easOn of the year. There

daughter of D. A. Cawl6eld of Enterprise
consented to become Mrs. Editor, and share
the gladness and sadness, the glory and de.
feat, the happiness and sorrow, the vicissi-
tudes and complimentary tickets of a sane

The Stayton Sun relates that VIM. Gleb-
Ter came near meeting with death in the
burning of the Klrn malt house that was
burned to the ground Tuesday morning.
Mr. Giebler was sleeping upstairs and
when he discovered the fire, about 8 A. NJ,
had barely time to escape with his life
He was struck by burning bet as he
descended the stairway, burning his face
rather severely. He lost his clothes and
about 500 in money. This is said to
have been one of the best equipped malt
houses on the coast There were about
1000 bushels of malt on hand Total loss

Harney Times: Gold dust is becoming
a circulating currency in Harney City al
ready. Some was taken IN at the dance
the other night, and other bills are being
paid III the shining nuggets and grams
Bill Crawford took hts rocker and got out
q supply of dust to meet his holiday ex-
penses with few hours work in his claim
at Gold Gulch. The price of claims is
going up every day, and ground that
could have been bought in the fall for
dollar afoot cannot be purchased now,
except-at fabulous prices. Some are even
so sanguine as to expect Gold Gulch and
Trout creek to equal the great Alder
Gulch placer diggings in Montana.
We learn from an exchange that Prairie
City, in Grant county, is to have IAN
merry. They have ascertained out there
hat it Is cheaper to ship leather than raw
hides. Prairie City is about as far from
the railroad as Linkville, and the conf
dence of the people there in the success
Of their. tannery Is well based. By the
ezra japonica process, which is consider
IDLY cheaper and infinitely more rapid
han the operation by bark, they turn out
Gather which is fifty per cent lighter
han raw hides, and can therefore be
shipped at much less cost. The great ad- (
to the people are these: The
.anner can afford to pay more for hides
han the shipper of the raw material pays;
here is new industry IN the town and
much more money left at home.
A telegram from Helena, Montana, tells
If big organization that is hunting a
gang of horse thieves operating between :
" ashington and Pierre, South Dakota.
Edward DeakIn of that city, says that 500
Gnimals haye been run off from the
anges In that vicinity within the last few
yeeks,and it is known that many animals,
tolen in Washington, have been driven
EAST through Montana during the past
rear, notably fifteen head of fine horses
belonging TO Lafayette Wright, of Sprague,
Washington, as they were afterwards
Identified at Valley City, Dakota. A fund
If $4,000 Is being raised, and with this
he growers believe that they will be able
