Glendon Sunday. John Richmond, assist
ant engineer of the old engine at the Glen

and about fifteen minutes afterwards, being
attracted by his cries, the engineer and fl
Ter at stack No. 3, found him lying on the
floor. his head against the eccentSc, which
was pounding it up and down on the iron
floor, while his ieGt hung in the Hy-wheel
pit, in such a position as to be caught by the
spokes Of the huge wheel as they came
around. He was all covered with grease
and dirt, go as to be scarcely recognizable,
his head was bleeding from several wounds
and serious cuts, bis shoes had been torn OF
by the revolving dy wheel, one ankle was
sprained and his body was badly bruised.
The wounded man was taken to his home
and a physician summoned, who dressed the
wounds and made him as comfortable as
possible. He died at half paat two o'clock
Monday afternoon. No one saw the acci
dent, but it is supposed that he went up on
the first platform at the engine, which is
about twelve feet from the Aojr. and fell, al-

are each over sixty years of age, and who
live alone, were thrown upon the bed and
securely fastened to the footboard. The

NARROW ESCAPE FROM DEATH.-The
following is from the Salem (Or.) Statesman
OF July 14th Last Saturday Miss Belle
Teller, of Salem Mr.. Dodge, Mr.. Shearer
and Fl. w. Prettyman, the well-known
nurseryman living near East Portland, and
brother of D. d. Prettyman, of this city,
came near losing their lives by eating
poisonous rice Mr. Prettyman purchased
the rice in East Portland, and, returning
home, some of it was cooked for dinner,
and the above named persons partook
freely of it. Scarcely FIVE minutes had
elapsed after the meal before they were
taken violently and suddenly ILL., Miss
Teller and the two hired men were seized
with commissions, but threw everything off
their stomachs and soon found relief Mr.
Prettyman was given all kinds OF medicine
to cause vomiting, but without success.
Medical aid was Immediately sent for, but
it was feared the patient would die before
Dr. Rafferty, could arrive Several times
his limbs became rigid, and his eyes fixed
in their sockets, and only by continued ex-
ertions was death warded off. The Doc
tor, however, applied the most powerful
remedies, and after several hours work
fortunately succeeded In bringing Mr..
Prettyman to consciousness and affording
him relief. All day Sunday he scarcely
spoke word his face. neck and body
being swollen almost beyond recognition.
The rice was examined, when it was found,
especially the broken grains, to be per-
fectly green from contact, it is supposed,
with copper while being prepared for mar
ket in China.

opinion which there is reason to belive wiki
be favorable to speedy opening of the riy-
els and the accomplishment of the results
so ardently hoped for. We find this fit
ting opportunity to suggest to the Board of
Trade of Sacramento, as representative
body most deeply interested in the COM
1merce of the valley, that as the work
these engineers have in hand con-
Germs the very existence of water trans
portation in the interior of California,
a manifestation of the interest felt might
be made by extending to Captain Eads an
invitation to address the citizens generally
upon the subject, and thus secure the dis
semination of still more practical informa-
ton upon this important topic. His mind
must be store house of facts concerning
these matters, from which he can draw
many an interesting detail that would be
of suggestive usefulness to the State, and
which he might be induced to give us with
outin any manner prejudicing his opinion
as to the immediate work he has been
called to. California is notably behind her
sister States in such matters, for these
eminent men, specially informed upon
topics of vital Importance to the commu-
nifty, are there more frequently called upon
to give people information upon them, and
Captain Eads himself, We believe, has not
infrequently responded to such calls.

MINING NOTES.

A new quartz ledge is being opened just
above Cape Horn, which promises well,
says the Auburn Argus. A mill is about
to be erected, and crushing will begin this
fall.
When the Yankee Fork Gravel Mining
Company's canal is completed, says the
Bonanza City (Idaho) Herald, vast field
of placer ground can be worked proftably
enterprise is of vast Importance to this sec.
ton of the Salmon river country, as it will
give employment to Labor and put much
money in circulation that otherwise would
have lain dormant.
Our prominent mines are all washing
with a full force of men and an abundant
supply of water, says Dutch Flat CORE
spondent. The superintendent of the
various claims report the result OF their
clean-ups as exceeding their expectations.
The Franklin Mining Company have been
prospecting during the entire season, con-
sequently dividends could not be expected.
From single pan of dirt taken from their
drift this week, fifteen dollars worth of
gold was washed out.
Messrs. Nutting and Cooper, the gentle
men who, last fall, purchased the old Sam
Cogswell place, near Clipper Gap, says the
Auburn Herald, have spent more or less of
their odd time between ranch duties pros
pec.ing, and according to reports their
efforts in this direction have been we'll re-
warded. Among other places, they started
TO sink on a ledge in the ridge near the
tween where it crosses the railroad by
IL. ~
How long they worked there before they
struck it we don't know, nor do we know
how the pay is holding out, but it is re-
ported that they took out about 81 500 in
one day. Our informant says the find is
scarcely second to the famous Pike Bell
strike of few years ago.
A correspondent Of the Salt Lake Irib-
aae writes from Green river, July 10th
A new discovery, promising another carbo-
nate field outrivaling Leadville, and fur
ther substantiating the correctness of Pro-
fessor Hayden's geological surveys, has
been unearthed 10 miles east of Salt Lake
and SO miles from this place. The dis
covery consists of 5000 feet of carbonate
ore, thickness unknown, capped by an
iron reef. A sample cannot be found that
runs less than 300 ounces in silver,
and most of it runs above 700, with forty
per cent. of lead. There are seventy-fve
men there, mostly from Leadville, who
have town site located, district organized
and the country all located for eight miles
around. From the amount of enterprise
shown in making locations, l think Salt
Lake and Green River will be included in
the district in another week. / saw one
man riding mule who had made sixteen
locations that morning with two men hired
at Sc day to drive stakes Green river
is at present the most available place to
reach the mines from, there being pas.
sable wagon road from here. Horses can't
be purchased at any price. The camp has
an assayer and store, and whisky mills
will soon follow The mines are on the
upper or headwaters of Bush creek, at an
altitude of s, 500 or 5000 feet, with good
water and plenty of timber. Leadville
parties are trying to enforce Colorado laws,
which will ultimately lead 10 trouble.

In A BAD Elk.

The Democracy has placed very good
citizen in very bad predicament, and his
name is Hancock. We have not attacked
his loyalty, but it is capable of demonstra-
ton that his friends have. In 1864 the
Democratic party declared the war fail
ure, and that it ought to be stopped.
Therefore its further continuance was
crime and killing rebel soldiers was murder.
From this conclusion there is no escape, on
the assumption that the Democratic decla-
ration was true, and no true Democrat can
hold the official utterance of his party to
be error. Such heresy is simply impossible.
Now then, the Democracy is vigorously
engaged in declaring that General Hancock
has always been Democrat-has never
wavered. Then he was a Democrat in 1864.
If so, according to Democratic ethics, he
was engaged in crime aud in unholy war
when killing rebels. II he was not, then
he was not Democrat. Either he didn't
believe in the declaration OF his party, or
else he was engaged in an undertaking that
should have made him throw up his COM
mission as offensive to his honest belief.
