Miner Rivalry and Rich Ruthburg Find Roil Through Oregon Mines
A Baker City Democrat broadside attacks Weiser rivals over Seven Devils mines. It claims wagon roads, stage lines, and routes favor Baker, refuting misstatements with local figures and freight runs. Separately, Ruthburg, near Salubria, thrives on a newly rich ruby silver and gold find after a long tunneling effort.

Debate over copying sparks press clash in town
The article recounts a dispute about widespread copying of stories from the Siosan to the Daily Democrat and other papers including the Leader. It notes a large 20 by 6 foot canvas sign at the depot promoting the Seven Devils copper fields and reports river navigation plans and local remarks from J. M. Morehead about sheep growth, all within a salty frontier newspaper mood.
