, GALVANIZED AGAIH.-The advocates of the
Chico route in the southern mines of Idaho,
have all at once been thrown into spasm
of renewed activity. The continued reports
of sales of California produce, which came
over that route, looks as if the loss of the
stock belonging to Gen. Bidwell's stage. line
had only strengthened the purpose of the
Californans to renew the contest for the bus
mess of supplying the mines of Owyhee and
Boise. Ordinary wisdom would appear to
indicate the necessity of some concert of ac-
ton to retain this trade, but it is not likely
to be had until our competitors have either
secured great advantages or spent much
moneyrto our detriment in any case. If
things keep going on for the next two years
as they have for some months back, the travel
and transportation is likely to be SO directed
that no particular route will derive much
benefit from it. One thing may be depended
upon; The Calfornians will take the advan
tage of the fact that draft stock is cheaper
there than here, to load vast number OF
wagons for the Idaho mines, hoping to find
here that continuous employment which they
are seeking. If the Chico ronte should
then appear 10 be even as good as flom the
Columbia, they will have made great stride
towards securing the trade to Californ q.

SILVER AT OUR DooRs-The Vancouver
Register says that fine specimens Of silver
bearing quartz have been exhibited in YAM
couver, purporting to have been found some
where between the Dalles and Mount Hood.
Silver can be seen in the rock with the aid of
o microscope. 1t is said that silver-quartz
has also been found on the head Of Hood
River by other parties. 1t would seem reason
able that the continuation of the broken aad
conminuted quartz.veins of the Santiam and
Molalla may bs found cropping out in better
shape in the gorge of the Columbia, where it
has broken through the Cascade range. The
matter ought to be investigated at a proper
time with the pick and shovel.

The band accordingly played Dixie, with
extraordinary vigor, when three cheers
and tiger were given, followed by the
tune of Yankee Doodle. The President
then proposed three rousing cheers for
Grant and all under his command, and
next, three cheers for the Navy and all its
forces. They were most enthusiastically
given. The President retired amid huz
zas, the tune of Hail Columbia and the
firing of cannon. 20

"a TERRIFIC ACCOMPLISHMENTS OF
BOILER IN THE MISSOURI Iron WoRKs.-
Yesterday at noon one of the six large
boilers in the Missouri Iron Works burst
with terrific explosion, tearing the en-
CINE house to pieces, scattering brick and
timber all over the mill, smashing the en-.
CINE and burning and scalding a number
of the employees. The explosion forth.
nately occurred atuoon when large num-
Der of the men were at dinner. All six of
the boilers were thrown some ten, feet for
ward and the bprsted boiler broken from
its connection and thrown distance of
ninety yards south from the engine house,
tearing up the earth in its passage and
turning end over end several times.
The names of the injured men we're Geo.
Otto, John Wilson, John Hapig, Conn Nc.
Donald, Franz Oolfrock, Thos. DAILY and
Noah Happy. Otto and Wilson were terribly
burned by fire and steam, and it is barely
possible that they may recover. oolfrock
had his skull fractured, and has since been
insensible. No hopes are entertained of
his recovery. No others were injured se-
vereIy. The escape of any of the men ma.

Of an absolute miracle,
Mr.. Happy was working at furnace

ed but little injury.
Conn Mcdonald was working at the sheet
rolls, near the forward end of the boilers,
and within few feet of the engine. He
was considerably burned with steam, but
not dangerously. The others receivd pretty
severe bruises from the falling rubbish, but
will suffer no permanent injury.
The mill itself sustained but little dam
age, aside from the destruction of the en-.
gine house. The boilers we're very old
and have not been considered very safe for
come time, tits presumed that from three
to Eve thousand dollars will cover all loss
