Fire Bog Again At Vosk Ia Baker.

Early Friday morning the fire bugs did
another job In Baker City. A negro
named johnson was seen near the barn
about the time II was set on fire, and he
was arrested. Since then he has made a
partial confession, trying to implicate a
white man, named Donovan, and Mex.
lean. The former was arrested but has
been released, his innoeense being estab.
lshei to the satisfaction Of the police. In
his confession" Johnson evidently tries
TO tell as many different tales as possible,
and no one seems to take any stock In
anything he says.

ANOTHER "MorlER LODE"
Claims to Have Been Dheovesed Five
Miles From Canyon City.


Since our last publication the News Of.
flee has been favored with a call from L.
L. Hill, a veteran and successful pros.
pector, who impaired the welcome intelli.
genee that he had undoubtedly discovered
the mother lode that has furnished Can.
yon Creek, Marysville, Prairie Diggings,
and adjacent placer territory with all the
gold the many fabulously rich mines have
yielded during the past thirty.five or forty
years, or since the first miner came to this
part Of eastern Oregon, with pan, pick
and shovel, In search Of the precious
metals.
The location Of the new discovery Is
about five miles east Of Canyon City, and
near Prairie Diggings. It Is above the
placers being worked there, and no doubt
Is the fountain head that has fed the
mines In that place; In fact, that Is the
opinion Of all the mining experts who
have visited the claim.
After the groupings had been discovered
and traced to considerable distance, Mr.
Hill had several assays made, with re.
suits SO satisfactory that he Immediately
proceeded to run tunnel to tap the ledge
at a considerable depth. We did not
learn the exact number Of feet, but as the
side hill Is steep and the tunnel $50 feet
long, the ledge must have been tapped far
enough under the ground to insure the
permanency Of the mine. The ore body
has well defined foot wall, but the hang.
Ing wall has not yet been reached, not.
withstanding the fact that the ledge has
been cut to distance Of forty feet
through white and gray quartz. The
principal vein, however, and what In all
probability Is the lead proper, Is fully
eight feet In thickness and assays from s.
to $40 per ton.-Canyon City News.

A PRECEDENT

WASHINGTON, July 14.-Mrs. Rich is
to be SURRENDERED to the Mexican authori-

against the extradition OF the woman 1t
has been represented that she is insane;
that there are impending physical OBJ
sJaeles: and that she is innocent of the
crime charged against her, and finally
that it would be an act Of barbarism TO
place an American woman al the mercy Of
Mexican law and officialism.
All of these considerations have been
weighed and it has ben decided that unless
Mrs. Rich is surrendered there can be no
hope of securing the surrender to our
officers of the many Mexican border
thieves and criminals who plunder on our
side of the line and retreat into Mexico,
