y PEERLESS IEAP.-Additiopal par
ticulars Of the recent great leap of II. p
Peer from the new suspension bridge at
Niagara Falls into the river below, a dis
tance of 1872 feet, says he had on life pre-
server; his thighs were confined with an
elastic strap, and likewise his feet. Over
his shoulders was leather brace, with
ring in the centre, to which was at
tached a cable composed of 220 feet of
No. "a brass wire in six strands. This
was called a balance, and was for the
purpose of assisting to retain his position
particularly if the wind should be strong.
1t was reeled over a cylinder attached TO
the guard-rail of the bridge, and which
was operated with bTake-handle, like
that used upon old-time wells, 50 that
the mans speed as he descended could
be controlled to acertain extent. 1t was
not fastened, and the final end followed
the man into the water. When the
word was given Peer went like flash,
reaching the water in four seconds. He
passed under the water feet foremost, but
soon reappeared and swan ashore. not at
all worsted by the leap.

SknGit Mines.

For years past, nearly every season
there has been more or less excitement
in regard to newly discovered placer
mines in this Territory. With the eX.
ceptiOn OF what WAS taken out of the
Sultan river in 1870, none of these places
west Of the Cascades have paid sniff
ciently to induce regular mining for any
great length of time.
Like every other river flowing into
the east side of the Sound, the Skaget
has been prosprcted tor years past for
placer mines.
Gold has been found each time, but
not until the past rall was coarse gold
found IN sufficient quantities to justify
any very great expectations.
Last spring we met James e. Woods
and his companion. for that trip as they
were going up the tsack, to prospect
that river; not finding any thing there
To justify further time spent in that
direction, in the fall he came to the
Skagit and spent some six weeks up the
Skagit, with party from that river.
The prospects were sufficient to induce
them to prepare for a winter trip. This
last party lett in November, it consisted
of Thomas Armstrong, John Rowley,
and JAS e. Woods, who were joined by
Pierce and Casey from La Conner.
They were up there four months, only
returning few weeks since. We met
Mr.. Woods few days ago on the Skagit,
and it is from him the following account |
is mainly furnished.
They encountered numerous obstacles

It nc would erect suitable buildings

them, at price specified in the Statute.
At the end of the period of six years
there specified, the Territory was to have
the privilege of bidding in the buildings
ifit desired so to do, or any other suit
able arrangement could lie made, as
might he most expedient ut that time
After some spirited opposition, Sheriff
Billings proposal was accepted with but
few notifications; by which he was to
be paid at the rate of 20 cents per dav
for each prisoner kept by him, and to be
entitled to all the convict labor.
After its passage and before proceed

Billings associated with him Mr.. J. X.
