Z TKE INSIDE WoRLD.-We give in this
issue the initial chapter of our serial
story, romance which we believe will
possesa an unusual interest, from its
local origin. 1t will be seen that the
author is an adept in at least one re-
quisits OF good story-tsiler; She
closes her chapter precisely when the
interest of the reader has reached a
climax, leaving the heroine in the arms
of her lover, an incident quite as ro-
mantle as the most exacting admirers
Of the French school OF. literature
would desire. We have no doubt the
author will be able to extricate the maid
en- from the dilemma as she proposes
even Q greater feat than this, for her
heroes to visit the world said to exist
on the inner crust of the earth. She
has promised, however, to bring them
out again, safe and sound, as soon as
they haze served the purposes of the
plot. The progress of the narrative will
be awaited with much interest.

From the sine soaIc5 we learn of tbo
loss of the bark Jessie Scott The fol.
lowing particulars are given:
This vessel left Liverpool, April 6.b
bound for Central America: when ofr
Patagonia, was dismasted on Sept. CHI
and lost main-mast and mizzen tom
mast. On Sept. 7th, the American shin
Empire hove in sight, and boat from
the Jessie Scott, four hands and chief
officer boarded her. She was 100 DAYS
out, bound from New York to San Fran
cisco. The chief mate reported the con.
dition OF the Jessie Scott, and desired TO
be taken on board. but the master re-.
fused, because he had already made n
long passage and was short of prov;-
sions. To this the mate said there was
plenty on the Jessie Scot, but no water,
except for about ten days; still the mas.
ter OF the American ship refused, and
suggested they might pull for bark
which had been seen to leeward. They
returned on board the vessel, and after
drifting to the southwark for eight DAYS
fell in with the Francisco Rdya. an
Italian bark, which took all off, and on
the following day the American shin
Gatherer hove in sight, and kindly took
live seamen and second mate, our in
formant, who were brought to honolulu.
Passage was also offered to the remain
der, if they wished to come, but thew
declined. They report most favorably
respecting the kind treatment received
on board the Gatte,er from both officers
and crew. The Jessie Scott must have
sunk on the day following that on which
she was abandoned, as she had four
feet of water in her hold.
A New York dispatch of the 9th inst.
says that the owners have received
dispatch from their agents at South
amptcn, announcing the loss of the
Deutschland, which was ran ashore on
long sands. Fifty of the passengers
and crew are reported drowned. Part
of the passengers and crew landed at
Harwich.

Mica MINE.--The Wall-walla Union
says that mine of mica has been dis
covered in the Occur d'Alene noun
tains, not far from the lake of that
name, which abounds in inexaustable
quantities Of that article. The speci-
men described by the Union is about six
by six inches, and can be peeled off in
layers thinner than tissue paper
and as transparent as the clearest glass.
Added to its transparency it is perfect
ly. understandable by FIRE, and this makes
it valuable for lanterns, covering for
locomotive headlights, and to he used
in the finer quality Of stoves. II also
makes SPLENDID insulatorsfor telegraphs
and in fact it is most useful article.
It is said to vary in value all the way
from fifty cents to four dollars per
pound, owing mainly to the size Of the
pieces. z

THE sLUMBER BREAKING.

We had intended to republish this
week the estimates made by the Manu-
facturer and Builder, in reference to the
cost Of wooden railroads, but as we are
-creditably- informed that the Directors
: Of the 0lympia-Te Railroad intend
to make another effort to obtain funds,
and this course, if successful, will ne
cessitate the use of iron rails to meet
the terms of the contract, we postpone
the publication for the present, and
give the "Seven Sleepers' another
chance to arouse themselves. .....
The prosperity of Seattle is attribute
bic solely to her coal interest, bringing
as it does scores Of ships and steamers
each month, with their golden treasures
to exchange for home products. Pas
sengers and freight land at her wharves,
pay tribute to the thriving little city,
which enterprise has built; while we,
with our position at the head of naviga-
ton, the nearest point on the Sound
for railroad communication with the
Columbia river; our inexhaustible beds
Of coal aud iron; magnificent water
power, of sufficient volume to drive all
the machinery on the Coast; rich con-
tiguous country, whose productive ca
pacity is capable of being increased q
thousand-fold, have languished and
grown poorer day by day, as our popu-
lation has decreased and business
found other channels of communication.
How long mus. this state of affairs con-
tinue? How long will people whose
aggregate wealth amounts to upwards
of two millions dollars hesitate on build
ing fifteen miles of railroad which will
tap the best coal-felds on the Sound,
and be enabled by its passenger and
freight traffic to pay all expenses, and
place the coal in the holds of vessels
without cost? How can the Railroad
Union sleep while the time draws nigh
for the county subsidy to revert, and all
the labor before Congress as we'll as
here be irretrieyably lost2 81
If there are any drones among the
Directors, we want to know it. If
there are any obstructionists, who
fear individual liability" when their
is prospect of constructing the road
and decline to lend their mighty names
to the enterprise, but are anxious enough
to figure as the largest shareholders
when the chances are waning, let them
"step down and out" at once. The
people would have been better off to-
day if such men had never set foot in
the Territory. ls
