ITEMS OF MINING NEWS.

On Tuesday the Raymond & Ely mill
was closed down, in obedience to orders
from San Francisco.
1t is proposed by number of Eastern
capitalists to incorporate smelling works
and samplers in Eureka, New.
The Commissioner of the General Land
Office, in reply to letter from Park City,
Utah, says he knows of no law which ex-
empts unpatented mining property from
execution, and that the United States
mining law does not prohibit the same
party from holding more than one claim ON
the same lode.
Consider able damage was done to the
different bitches in Butte county by the
recent storms. The Feather River and
Ophir Company lost several fumes, and had
slides which filed the ditch and caused
several washouts. 1t will probably require
two weeks time to make the necessary re-
pairs and get the water running through
again.
There is a man who lives at Tacoma, w.
T., says Seattle paper, who has been in
the habit of going up to the head-waters of
the Skagit every summer, remaining there
for months, for the last three years. AL
though often questioned as to the object of
these annual trips, nothing definite could
be learned Three years ago he was poor
man to-day he owns property in several
cities around the Sound, and has lately,
through his agents, been purchasing prop
erty here. Last fall he was seen with a
large purse of gold dust, but refused to tell
from whence it came. 1t is surmised, how
ever, that his sudden prosperity is due to
his knowledge of rich diggings on the head
waters of the Skagit, and that somewhere
in the Cascades he has hidden bonanza.
If he goes up there this summer the boys
propose to do a little detective business.

Trade Observation-Disclosures

lraue teTs-AuCtuuIsiffsbs
PORTLAND April 30th.-The Oregon Iron
Works. which have been closed for over a
year, in the hands of an assignee, were sold
yesterday in satisfaction of mortgage held
by the First National Bank. Smith Bros. 4
Watson were the purchasers, and the price
paid was S15,025
The weather is extremely warm. The
thermometer marked So to-day.
A young man named Charles Hayden com.
mitted suicide last night by hanging himself
at the Mckenzie bridge, in Lane county.
The cause is not known
Generally trade matters are not more buoy
ant than has been expected. The monetary
supply is ample to meet the requirements of
trade, and rates show but little appreciative
tendency. The wheat market is very dull
The wool trade shows decidedly weaker
phase, and buyers, though quite numerous,
display but little disposition to speculate.
Receipts are increasing, but not to such an
extent as was expected. Sales made so far
have shown wide range in prices, some lots,
inferior as to quality. cleanness and manner
of packing, having sold at 1S@20c, while ex-
ira choice is held at SOC and upwards.
An unsuccessful attempt was made last
night to burn the large planning mill belong
ing to Nicolai Bros, at the corner of Second
and streets. The flames were extinguished
before any damage was done, but the incen-
diary made his escape in the darkness.

ScHooL-BoY DRowNED.-The following
is from the Stockton Herald of April Doth:
Two boys, half-brothers, named Joseph
Ward and James Judge, ran away from
school yesterday afternoon and went in
swimming in the Calaveras river, north of
Good Water grove. Joseph Ward waded
out into the stream few feet, and being
unaware of the condition of the channel,
stepped off into deep place several feet
over his head. A strong current was run
ming and eddying around, and he was un-
able to strike out and save himself. He
sank aud rose twice, and then went down
out Of sight. His brother came to town
and reported the sad affair, and a party
went out to recover the body, but last
evening were unable to find it. This
morning J. NJ. Hogan procured graphing
hooks and boat and took another party
out to recover the body. This effort was
also unsuccessful. The parents of the boy
are in destitute circumstances, and as this
is the third child that they have lost within
less than year, their condition is very
distressing.

A Jealous Husband, Falling to Kill His
Wife, Commits suicide.

PoRT TOWNSEND April 3Oth.-Last night,
soon after midnight, james B. Murphy, jan
old resident of this city, proceeded to the
house of his brother-in-law, N. d. Tobey,
where his wife. who had previously separated
from him, was stopping, and being armed
with an ak, gun and knife, soon gained an en-
trance. Mrs. Murphy succeeded in escaping
from the house through back door, but her
sister was met by the infuriated man at the
front door and stabbed severely in the side
and arm, after which he made search for
his wife, but failing to find her he swallowed
dose of strychnine, and before medical aid
could be summoned he was dead. Jealousy
is supposed to have been the cause of the act,
as some years ago ne made an attempt to cut
