Rachel mine, yesterday permitted a
Democrat reporter to feast his optics

recent product of the Rachel. The

The Green River Fuel & Oil company
received from st. Louis five iron tanks,
/ that are five feet wide by ten feet long
and two feet high, and will contain $50
gallons Of water. These tanks; were
ordered some time ago and were to be

the Seven Devils with a mining expert
representing Montana syndicate who
contemplate putting in a smelter in
that camp. They have a contract with
the American Mining company alone
for 5000 tons of copper ore. The
smelter which it is proposed to put
up in the Devils is one which the COM

is not in use. 1t is too SOON to specu-
: n a q n he h11r

/ The mining industry of eastern Ore
! gon is fast coming to the front. Cap
ital is coming to the aid of the pros
pectors. There has been over a million
dollars paid for mining properties, in
/ Union and Baker counties, in the last
! ten months, and there are many more
! good mining properties on the market
that are partially developed. This, of
] course, would not be a good showing
for mining districts that are being
doomed. The time is near at hand.
| however, when eastern Oregon will
have a merited boom, not on the gold
mines alone, but on a combination of
industries, viz: Gold mines, fruit, grain
and stock farms, lumber mills, grist
mills, etc. There are grain farms of
! 1000 acres, commercial orchards of
