CoNJUGAL PERPLExTTIEs was lean
ing upon the showcase in Graham, Hamil-
ton & Cos drug store; his left hand was
carelessly toying with his 1S-karat watch
chain, while the fingers of his right were
tenderly p,owing among the roots of his
chestnut hair. He was in a deep study, and
seemed entirely obiivious to everything
around HIM except the case, which contained
combs. 1t was our Senior and as we look
ed at him a moment we were forcibiy i'm
pressed with the idea that he was profoundly
contemplating the lights and shades of
matrlmony. We could almost see him i'm
aglne that there is a moment in the life of
every married man, however humble or how
ever exalted, when he feels the humiliation
OF his position, and bushes at what is ex-
pected of him moment when he feels as
though he would prefer to transact the busi-
ness before him through an agent /; time
when his soul would sain throw off it's fet-
ters, and he feels it to be a moral impossi-
blllty for him to go through the task assign
ed to him when he feels that he had almost
rather die, if he were satisfied that he were
good enough. That time is when he has to
go into store and inquire of the gentle
nanly clerk if he has got any fine tooth
combs. He looks around carefully to see
that no one is listening, and asks for the
narrowing instrument OF torture, but is care
full to tell the clerk that it is dandruff that
is the matter

FROM THE BAY.-Our fellow -townsman,
VIM. Grant, returned from Yaquina Bay
this week. He reports the government
works are progressing finely since they have
abandoned the crib system and adopted the
original plan of Engineer Poihemus, which
is to build brush mattresses and sink them
to the bottom of the bay, and then weigh
them down heavily with rock followed by
another layer of brush and then rock. Here
after the rock to be used is 20 be landed at
Davis point, from whence it will be convey
ed on short railroad track, which is being
laid for the purpose down the beach to
where the improvements are being made
This is another improvement which was the
original plan of Mr.. Polhemus. There seems
to have been considerable money and time
expended IN testing the practicability of
using these cribs, which is virtually wasted.
1t IS unfortunate that in making this long
needed improvement that MIR. Polhemus
should have to spend any portion of the ap-
in testing the practicability of
some other officers plans, who did not un-
derstand the necessities Of the work as well
as did Mr.. Polhemus, when if he had been
permitted to have followed his original de-
signs the work would have been much fur
ther along and no money wasted. Mr.
Phil, the engineer in charge of the survey
ing party on the west end of the Oregon
Pacific railroad, is progressing finely, al
though at that end of the route there is |
some rough country which will cause the
work to progress slowly for short distance
Engineer Brown, in charge of the surveying
party ON this end of the route, expects to
reach the summit this week, which is about |
% miles from Corvallis.

WILD HOGS.-The woods across the river
from this city are filed with wild hogs, a
greater portion of them having found ref
uge there during the high water last winter.
Among those that came into this section
during the food was large boar about six
or seven years old and as large as yeariing
calf, and has been on the island above the
city for seyerol year, where he has been sew
eral times shot but could never be killed or
captured. Last winter during the highest
water he was seen by two young men float
ing quietly down stream on log, they i'm
mediately went to his rescue in boat, but
ON perceiying them he left his log and start
ing for the boat commenced to show fight.
and did catch the boat between his Jaws and
but for several well directed blows from the
occupants of the boat he would have swamp
ed the same. His would be deliverers when
they found themselves free from him left
him to his fate, when he took refuge in the
adjoining woods where he has roaned until
last Tuesday he started to swim lake that
formed a portion of the field fence of Prof.
Emery and Willbank's s when he was discov-
cred by Mr.. Wilbank who secreted himself
on the bank and waited until the animal
was within ten feetsof him discharged both
barrels of a heavily charged shot gun into
his head, causing instant death. Prof. EN-
cry, from whom we learn the above, says he
would as soon have met grissly bear as
this monster of the woods whose career has
at last been brought TO an end.

DROWNED AT SALEM-On last Saturday
evening, about half past o'clock. Adolphe
Arnbruster, accompanied by Messrs. J. M.
Rosenberg, VIM. Brown, Chas Talbot, Ar
thur Holgate and Henry Meyers, went in
bathing at the bow of the wharfboat in
Salem With the exception of Mr.. Rosen-
berg, none of the party could SWIM Mr..
Armbruster was playing in the water with
Mr.. Holeate, when he accidentally stepped
into the channel of the mill race, getting be-
yond his depth. Holgate attempted to res
cue him but without avail, and it was with
difficulty that Holgate himself was saved,
as they had been laughing and making a
noise but moment before Mr. Rosenberg,
supposing all right, did not heed their cries
for help until it was too late. Other per-
soas We're near, but supposed that they were
simply playing. The body was recovered
abont 8 P. NJ. Sabbath. Mr.. Holgate, who
SO narrowly escaped with his life, and whose
conduct at the time of the accident was
commendable and courageous, is son of
Mr.. 3. Holgate, of this city, and well known
to many of our readers.

Heroic EFFoRT.-We clip the following
to young Arthur Holgate, formerly of this
city, from the Daily Statesman of Wednes.
day: "our account of the drowning of Mr..
Adolph Armbruster was received at the
river shortly after the calamity occurred,
and was just about as correct as could be
expected when every one was excited. We
have since learned that the Efforts of Mr..
Holgate to save his friend were brave and
desperate in the extreme. such as make of
him a hero. Five different times he at
tempted to rescue him, and was as often
drawn under the water. Strangled. ex-
hausted and half drowned, he persisted in
his exertions. until it was thought that he
too would perish. Finally when. Mr.. Brown
got him ashore he was insensible.

BARN BuRNr.-The barn of Peter Hoover,
In Alseya valley, was burned last week
There was threshing machine and a num-
ber Of other agricultural Implements in the
barn, valued at several hundred dollars,
which was total loss. Mr.. II. and wife
were from home at the time of the accident,
and no one was on the premises except some
small children, who were not about the barn
during the day. The cause Of the fire is
therefore mystery. This accident falls
very heavy on Mr.. H., amounting as it does
to = large sum Of money.

KILLED BY A HORSE Our Monroe cor
respondent has kindly furnished us with a
private letter to Alex. Lamb o. that place,
from Heppner. giving the sad news that
James Ferguson, who was born and raised
in Lane county four miles south Of Monroe,
and the son of the early pioneer John B.
Ferguson, and for the last few years a resi-
dent near Heppner, while trying to hitch a
span of horses to hack on the 18th inst.
one of the horses, large 1900 FOUNDER, be-
coming fractions, kicked Mr.. Fergus on with
both feet, one foot striking him in the right
groin, about even with the navel, and the
other stroke was about three or four inches
to the right The letter above alluded to
was from the attending physician, L. F.
Shipley, M. D who states that the kick
which struck near the navel was the fatal
stroke. He died on the morning of the 18th,
after suffering very severely, and was morti-
flying internally when he died. The de-
ceased was well known to the writer ever
since boyhood. He was an honorable, in.
dustrious an well respected citizen, and a

THE HAMILTON PROCESS.
Ores Reduced at "a Cost of One Dol
lar per ton.

The new process Of reducing ores
at trifiing cost, which is now being
practically tested in New York city,
is described by the Mining Record, as
follows
Our attention as mentioned in our
last issue, having been called TO the
method OF extracting gold and silver
from ore, patented by Walter Halnil-
ton, the well-known assayer and min
eralogist Of this city, we took occasion
to visit the extensive works, now
about completed, at the foot of Fif-
teenth street, North River, our pur-
pose being TO determine for ourselves
If this was really what was claimed
for it, viz:
THE GREATEST INVENTION OF THE
CENTURY.
We found large substantial build
ing, 80 feet by l75, containing the
most perfect and complete plant Of
the kind we ever saw, having every
thing necessary for the thorough treat
ment of any class Of ore containing
gold or silver, al the rate OF at least
100 tons per day. upon entering the
building we were met by Mr.. Hamil-
ton, who kindly accompanied us
through the works and explained the
working of the different parts of the
machines, and demonstrated to our
entire satisfaction the perfection TO
which he has brought his curious
process. The first thing that attracted
our attention was the arrangements
for crushing and pulverising the ores
as they arrive. These crushers re-
duce the ores To a fine powder, which
Is taken by means OF an elevator and
emptied into the hopper OF the roast
ing and desulphurizing furnace.
This furnace is

THE ACME OF PERFECTION,


Being under the most perfect con-
troll in all its parts as regards the con-
troll of heat and regularity OF feed,
which is automatic, and in case OF ar
senical or sulphureted ores, a volume
Of gas is introduced that completely
changes the gasses as they are elimi-
mated from the ore, which is delivered
at the end OF the cylinder perfectly
desulphurized. From the roasting
furnace the ore is taken by another
elevator intO which is called the
vacuum furnace, where il is passed
through bath OF melted lead. This
part of the machine H. so CONSTRUCTED
that the ore is held submerged in the
molten lead and automatically dis
tnbuted about il in such a manner as
10 insure every particle OF the ore
coming IN contact with the lead, then
escaping, the tailings are carried by "A
eonveyor TO the dumps. This pro-
cess of reducing ore is
BASED UPON THF ESTABLISHED FACT,
Recognized hy all smelters and as
sayers, that gold and silver, when
heated 10 the proper temperature,
have n much stronger affinity for mol
ten lead lhan for quicksilver, and be-
comes instantly taken up by the lead
upon contact. one great advantage
that stuck US in Mr.. Hamilon's pro-
cess is, that from The time the ore is
put into the crusher until il is
dumped on the pile for tailings, il is
not once seen or handled, thereby
saving a great amount OF labor. An
other point is the economy in fuel, Il
requiring very little more than would
be used in running steam engine,
and on the point Of economy these
works are fully capable Of working 100
tons per day, and we cannot see how
ii is possible for il 10 cost 500 per day
To run them consequently, Mr. HAM

any one who is personally Interested
