: The Gem mine. near Sparta. Eastern
Oregon. now owned by Portland capi-
talists who purchased the property sew
eral months ago, has shown exceeding
ly rich ore, according to Manager N. J.
Jenkins. A depth of 460 feet has been
attained and levels are being run 450,
$50 and 800 feet in depth. An uprise
from the 45O to the 35O-foot level is
being driven for air. A contract has
been let to sink prospect shaft 800 feet
south of all previous workings. As
work progresses, large ore bodies arc
being exposed. and there is ore enougl
in sight for 10-stamp mill for years
to come. The old Gem was worked sc
years ago by Captain Ainsworth and
Captain E. M. White, but was aban'
doned by them. The wealth of the
mine was little known, as recent de.
velopments show. The property now
bids fail to be great producer.

LOSES A HORSE.
Horse Trade That is Keeping Lawyers and
Officers Busy.

AS the result of horse trade mad.
by Melvin Merrill and Daniel McCur-
dy OF this city the former is OUT a
horse that has been taken in charge by
Deputy Sheriff j. f. Beane. who is also
the agent for the Humane Society. The
horse will be killed. as he is considered
in a dangerous condition, not only to
himself but To other animals.
The trade was made. Tuesday night
when Merrill and McCurdy swapDed
horses even. Merrill. it is said, repre-
sented that the horse which he gave in
exchange was perfectly sound. After
the exchange had been made McCurdy
discovered that the horse he had re-
ceived was far from being sound. as il
was wind broken and had the CLAN
ders.
On making this discovery he carried
the animal back to Merrills home.
There he told his discovery of its con-
dition, and. he says, placed the halter
in the hands of Mrs Merrill and made
demand for the horse he formerly
owned. This was not granted and he
placed his case in the hands of Law
yer Sheldon. who proceeded to get out
a writ of replevin for the horse Mer-
rll then held.
Merrill refused to take the horse that
McCurdy had carried back and the ami
nal was left to wander about at will
This the horse did and found 50 much
liberty that a complaint was made that
the animal was getting into some of
the gardens in the neighborhood and
doing a great deal of damage. City
Marshal Breen. on learning of the CON
dition of things. at once took the horse
in his possession. and. later. turned
the animal over to Deputy Sheriff
Beane who will see that the animal is
disposed of.
4 writ OF trover has been issued for
the possession of the horse Merrill for
merly owned. Where that horse is
cannot be learned. as Merrill claims
that he has traded him off with other
parties

The returns al the agricultural depart
ment, this month, show that the potato
crop in Aroostook county will fall off at
least % per cent. From Washburn me
report comes that the crop has fallen OH
to 50 per cent. In all sections there Is a
report that the potatoes are rottinS badly .
this being the principal reason for their
falling off. This rot, it is understood, is
due to the fan rains. Up to that time
the outlook was fairly good.
