Country Notes.

Riding into the country last Friday
we visited the farms of Messrs Pad
don, Caferty, Cleary and others in
that section of the county. Fruits,
vegetables and crops promise an album
dant yield of creature comforts. There
is considerable good land in this
neighborhood, and as it is handy to
Vancouver, with a comparatively good
road, is desirable place to live. The
district school, taught by Miss Isabel
Cleary, which has been in progress
this summer, will close shortly. The
pupils have made advancement, and
the teacher has the credit, and also
the thanks of the parents of the dis
trict. Mr.. P. L. Cleary is building a
frame dwelling house, which, when
completed, will be the best in the
neighborhood. Passing on through
Fourth Plain we enter the timber on
the road to Salmon Creek. Winding
along through the continuous woods"
their shades agreeable these summer
days of heat and dust; over the ruts,
and roots, and hummocks of the for.
est road, dry now and not wallowing
with mud as in January, we come to
Deitrich's sawmill, where the large
piles of clean looking lumber indicate
that good use has been made of the
surplus water of the creek. After the
horses have refreshed themselves with
the clear water of the stream, we can
ter on towards the
FLATwoODs COUNTRY,
so called because of the low fat coun-
try which extends on north FIVE or six
miles to Lewis River, and is generally
covered with a growth of heavy green
timber. The land when cleared ano
drained is of the finest quality and is
desirable for farms. This neighbor.

The kidnapping Case.

The kidnapping of the Chinawoma1,

probably result In a manner least ex.

affair. The woman was brought back
on Thursday night from Palisade and

capture:

by her-a pace OF prostitution and

o'clock in b morning y knock vas

The woman started to get up and
light a lamp, but the man commanded
her to keep quiet, and he getting out

This done, he went tn the back door,
and, returning Immediately, caught
the woman in bis arms aud forced her
to the door, where one Chinaman
named George Dick and two white
men were in waiting. All three of
these were armed, and, putting their
pistols to her head, compelled her to
dress in American female apparel,
with which they were provided. A
handkerchief WAS then placed over
her mouth, and she became senseless

DieG of His Wounds.

The stage robber Carlow died of his
wounds Thursday night. Eugene
Blair, the messenger who shot him,
was with him to the time of his death,
e~ndeavoriDg to get information from
him concerning the robbery. Carlow
was game to the last and refused to
speak a word duplicating any one.
He said that had the stage been on
time they would have fixed him blair
aud also told the driver that his time
would soon come. The suppoSition is
that there were more than two men
engaged in the robbery, and the stage
being behind time a part of the gang
had gone down to the other road, leav-
ing Carlow and Crawford on the look
out on the usually travelled road.

Prospect Mountain TuaHei.

This tunnel is situated about five
miles southwest from Eureka, on the
west side of Prospect mountain. In
an enterprise of SO much importance
to Eureka, as well as to the wner OF
the franchise, we can not but deprecate
the slow progress attending the pres
ent mode of exploitation. II a work of
this kind is worth prosecuting at all,
it Is worth the employment of all the
modern appliances, of Burleigh or
Ingersol drills, which in a few weeks
would open the line Of the tunnel in
volving years in the old mode. The
prosperity of Eureka is solely and Ell
tirely dependent upon its mines, and
the fact il. there are very few men who
have the courage and enterprise tn de-
vtlop them. An important consider
alton in the construction OF this tunnel
is The exploration of the country
through which it will pass. 1t will
cut a number of lodeS nearly at right
angles which contain immense masses
of low grade ores, and the calculus OF
probabililie les favor the idea, as depth
is attained. that those oxidiOd surface
ores will be replaced by sulphureted
ores. In many of those surface
ores are seen spots and sfreaks
Of s%ulphurets which sufficiently
sustains J the above hypothesis.
Not only is there a variety of oxy
died lead ores containing gold and sill
YER, but the existence of chloride and
sulphurels of silver in qnartzo-e mat
rix will enable the skillful metallur-
gist to make one ,arg-ntiferous ore
serve a. a fiux for the other. These
ores being reduced Mt the tunnel with
much more advantage, will largely in
crease the bullion production OF Eu-
reka.
The water which is now flowing
from Prospect Mountain is only the
beginning of trouble i'm The mines IF
Ruby HUI, which will be turned by
this tunnel. 1t will ventilate all the
mines along its course. The question
of temperature is one of the great
questions connected with the venuila-
non Of mines. As a question OF sci
ence in cutting at a depth of from 100
to $40 feat or more through a section
of country composed of rocks Of four
different geological ages, it is Of the
highest Importance. An exact KAN
inaticn of the geological structure OF
Prospect Mountain can lie made Ivy
this tunnel going through it at nearly
right angles, which will be of value
geoloxically and contribute largely 10
our knowledge on he subject.
