During the year 1875 1852 Amer
ican vessels suffered disaster, besides
eighty-aye foreign vessels, OF our
shores, giving a total of 1887. OF
this number four hundred and sew
enty-seyen collided and two hun
dred and nine casualties arose direct
" from carelessness or ignorance;
three hundred and twelve, aggre-
eating a tonnage Of 102,5l2 tons,
with their cargoes, valued at up
wards of $4,000, 900, were wrecked,
by which 90,915 lives were imper-
lied and eight hundred and eighty
eight lost, besides soyenty-three
other persons drowned without
other casualties to the vessels to
whivh they belonged. In 1884
there were reported to the British
board of trade one hundred and
fifty vessels not heard FROM after
sailing or being spoken at sea, They
are all supposed 10 have been lost,
with all on board, aggregating 1881
persons. Besides these, there wer5
reported to the same authority G0S4
vessels as having suffered wreck Oh
casualty, resulting in tho total los
of l4li vessels and 6Sl7 lives. Du
ring the ten years ending June 80
1874, there we're 20,OOS wrecks
collisions, and other casualties o
vessels on or near the British ISL
alone. Over twenty-five per cent
were total wrecks, involving a los
+ of 5000 lives and the value Of 800
g 100000 in property. Nine hun
a dred and twenty-three of the YES
/. sells lost were known to be owe
s fifty years old, twelve over one hur

Prediction ThNt E7ea viii Yet Live

New York Sun,l
Plymouth church was half filled
yesterday morning, partly because
of the rain, but chiefly because the
Rev. Henry Ward Beecher was in
Nova Scotia. The absent pastors
brother, the Rev. DIR. Edward
Beocher, opened his sermon by
saying that it would, indeed, be a
rare state OF affairs when men in
public Offices become honest; when
there should be no more frauds, or
riggs. or corruption, but when the
truth should shine forth as though
seven suns were illuminating the
globe instead OF one. He argued
that everything in social life pro-
gressed, and looked hopefully for
ward to the time when men a hun
dred years old would be considered
mere children; nor did he deem il
improbable that patriarchs might
yet attain, by taking care of them,
selves, the age Of a thousand years
The basis Of his doctrine of pro
gression was found in Isaiah, 5Otf
Z chapter, 18th verse " For brass
, viii bring gold, and for IRON | vii
! bring silver" etc; but he mis-
quoted it thus " For gold we shal
: have silver, and for brass iron, ant
| so We 90 up" and Assistant Pastol
Halliday whispered, audibly: "He'
going down now"

ado partial cleanup, after . six

y. Eeane told us that he thought the
amount, when all cleaned up, would
zach the sum Of eighteen thousand
a,l,ars. or more. This gives the boys
,;,s handsome dividend after all
the expenses are deducted Their ex-
noDses were over twelve thousand dol

they will have the displeasure Of
knowing that their boxes have been

advice to them is to be on the look

hanging around our town. There are

Onr town, which Is small as yet, is
situated about ten miles from Silver
City. within . milesof what il called
|Wagontown. Quartz lodges were
first discovered in this locality about
2 year ago. at which time South
Mountain svas attracting great deal
Of attention, to the overshadowing Of
this place. Late in the season by
mismanagement that place began to
decline, and by the middle Of October
fell with the crash, which, together
with the great backset War Eagle
mines got about the same time put q
quietus upon the present prospects
and hopes Of this place. Everybody
left the country that could get away,
those remaining. in q majority Of in
stances, staying from sheer necessity,
not being able to get out.
|. Notwithstanding all these discour-
agemcnts the few that remained in
the country, have been doing little,
and for that little have great deal to
show in the way Of large lodges Of
good quartz The great necessity of
the camp is reduction works. Ar
engagements have been made to ship
enough ores to Silver City to run
Leonards mill this season, but it is an
uphill business hauling so far, and up
hill ut that. There is no doubt but
what the ores are rich enough to pay,
but great saving can be made by
having mills at home, whereby the
hauling can bc saved and the crush.
ing done cheaper than at Silver. be.
cause wood can Ike had about dollar
and a-half cheaper per cord here than
there. However it is hardly probable
that we will have any mills before
next fall. In the meantime the ar.
arrangement with Mr.. Leonard is an &C.
communication 10 the miners SO far as il
goes; but we need two or three mills
on Jordan creek. at least ono Of them
TO work by roasting process. There
is some immensely rich ore here that
requires roasting, while the quantity
OF forty and fifty dollar rock is with
out limit .that can be worked by the
ordinary wet process.
