Another mining excitement Is raging
on upper Trout Greek, in Crook county,
About year ago, Knight, an expert
enced miner and prospector discovered
gold bearing quartz in that vicinity, and
lately be and a man by the name of
Wilson returned there and have located
an eight foot ledge of quartz from which
at depth of about eight feet, they have
had several assays from different assay
ers, the lowest of which was 1882 and
the highest 1852 in gold to the ton. The
claims are in a narrow belt running
easterly and westerly across Long Hol~
low, on the north side of Trout Greek,
about two miles from James Wood s
place. It is to be hoped that this is not
a "fake" excitement but that country is
in the tertiary formation, one which is
not liable to contain valuable gold
mines.

Richer In Gold Than Alaska.

T. ]. Mauffin, of Albina, has just re-
turned from trip through all the coun-
ties in Eastern Oregon, by horse and on
foot, says Yesterdays Oregonian. He
was accompanied by Frank Escofor, of
Gresham.
They started on their journey April
18th, Mr.. Mauffin making the trip in
search of health. Provided with sad
die horse each and a pack horse to carry
their outfit, they passed over the Barlow
road into the counties of the interior.
Mauffin describes his experience as
well worth having. He was enabled to
see something of the agricultural and
mineral resources of the Inland Empire
In some counties the pilgrims stopped
and worked in the harvest and hay fields
and had a touch of Eastern Oregon heat
While on the way they overlook and
passed about 800 teams with men en-
route 10 the harvest fields. The men
were going to Umatllla and the country
around Pendleton.
Mauffin's companion lett him in the
John Day country and proceeded on to
Idaho, and the former persued his trip
alone.
Mauffin visited many of the mining
districts but saw nothing so amazing as
the Great Northern, rear Canyon City,
owned and operated by Ike Guker, who,
four years ago, dropped into Canyon
City without dollar in his pocket, but
who can now draw his check for thous-
ands, besides owning mine of fabulous
richness.
Guker invited Mauf1n to visit his
mine, and he gladly avalled himself of
the opportunity. The visitor was as
tonished at what he saw. Guker took
him into the tunnel, and, picking up
painful of rotten quartz, said he would
see what there was in it. He panned it
out and found. after placing the gold on
the scale, that $l65 had been realized
| from the single pan.

Celebrate the sixtieth Anniversary @
Their Wedding

Friday evening Mr.. and Mrs. 1. N.
Sargent were happy in the fact that
they were permitted to celebrate the
sixtieth anniversary of their wedding
and to entertain a number of their
friends upon the auspicious occasion.
Fortunate indeed are a husband and
wife who have lived to a happy old age
side by side, and on their sixtieth ami
versary find themselves so happily situ-
ated and in such good health as this
aged couple. However, one would have
to be convinced before they could real
ize that either one of them had passed
the eightieth milestone, so little does
their age tell upon them.
On the evening named a number OF
their intimate friends gathered to ex-
tend their congratulations and spend a
pleasant evening. It was an event
which was thoroughly enjoyed by all
and will impress itself on their memo
riea. Several very useful and beautiful
presents were received by the happy
couple, expressing the good wishes and
friendship of the donors.
Mr.. and Mrs. Sargent are beloved by
all with whom they come in contact,
and not only those who were guests, but
their host of friends extend their con-
gratulations, and wish they may spend
many more years of happiness together.

LETTER FROM SANTIAGO.
Private John Mcneil Writes to his Rel
atives Describing The Battle.

The following letter, under date of
July 25th, was received few days ago
from Private John Mcneil, of troop G,
First United States Infantry, in Cuba.
He speaks at length on the battle and
tells numerous facts of interest concern
ing it:
SANTIAGO De CUBA, July 25, 1898.
thought 1 would write and let you
know that L am alive and well. Was
afraid you might be worrying about me
after hearing of the big battle we had.
1t was surely hard fight. The first
shot was fred at 6:20 on the morning
OF July 1st, and it was a continuous
fight until II on the 3rd, when flag of
truce went up and a conference IA coun-
Gil of war; was held. Gen. Shafter gave
them week to get out OF the country
that was to turn over their arms to US
and be ready to surrender and leave for
Spain; but when the time was up they
had not done so, and at p. m. on the
. 10th we turned loose on them again.
Talk about a celebrationI May be you
think we didn't have one. There were
dynamite gune, seige guns, and we had
thirty-six field guns. besides big shell.
When they are going through the air
you would think an overland express
was coming, and when they light you
would swear a machine shop had ex-
ploded. Everything you could thing of
flies through the air, from a monkey
wrench to a steam hammer. I'll tell
you we gave them merry time. One
of our dynamite shells hit big gun
they were shooting at us and blew Span
iards, gun and all up in the air. I don't
yet; but you can bet we paid for the
fun we had with them. They sent back
very nearly as warm a fire as we sent,
and many a coDlrade got killed OF
wounded. There were tour wounded
out of our troop (troop E). But when
we got a bead on one of them, down
went his meat house. think the whole
loss on our side was about 1900 killed
and wounded; the Spaniards had over
5000 killed. and mercy only knows how
many wounded. tell you the buzzard:
lived for awhile. 1 think we had re-
venge for them killing our sailors or
Maine. When the last charge was made
every soldiers battle cry was "Remem
Der the Maine!''
One evening about O'Clock abou
1900 Spanish cavalry made charge OF
US. The First and Tenth U. S. cavalr,
were dismounted and we waited unit
they were about 500 yards from us whel
we poured it into them. Not one got t.
our line, and I don't believe that owe
200 got back to Santiago.
Well, have told you all about thl
| fight, but that they surrendered on thl
14th and we are now IN Santiago.
