came of trouble between settlers and In
dlans. Speaking of the dispatch from
Burns, Mckinley is said to believe there
is danger of serious trouble between the
residents and Indians, members of the
Umatilla tribes and others, accustomed
to go into the mountain hunting grounds
in the summer season to kill deer by the
wholesale, leaving all carcasses but the
hams to be eaten by birds Mckinley
thinks authentic reports of collisions may

Part of the smelling machinery for the
new copper mine has arrived at Grants
Pass. The machinery is for a smelter
capable of turning out 20 tons Of ore in
25 hours. The cost is between $4,000
and $4,000. 1t will require from 200 to

means a large sum of money to be paid
out in wages, and it also means a large
amount to be brought in, as copper is
worth 9 cents per pound in the markets.
Another rich vein about 10 feet thick has
been found. and it is said to be even
richer than some of the other copper
deposits already discovered.
