MININa.-Last week Mr.. Frank Her
mann, an old California miner Of much sx.
psriencs. paid this city q visit. and exam.
ined the samples in this city of mineral
bearing rock from various localities in the
foot hills Of the Cascades, which have been
brought in by Clarke county prospectors.
He thinks there is something in them,
enough to justify him in coming here again
to make thorough tests Of them. Mr.. Her
man has been engaged prospecting on the
Santiam in Oregon for two seasons past, and
has done great deal of work there. At a
point five miles from Mehama he erected a
testing furnace, and three weeks ago found
new lead, from which he obtained the
finest results ever had in the district. From
four pounds of rock he obtained l6 ounces
base bullion, which contains favorable
percentage of both gold and silver. A guam.
titative analysis has not yet been made.
His successes there have created much ex.
element among the Mehama people.

PORTLAND AND VANCOUVER. The Oregon.
ian of Monday says that at the present ses-
sion of the county court the Multnomah
railway company will ask the right to con-
struet narrow gauge railroad from the land
ing of the Albins ferry, through the town
of Albina and thence to the Columbia river
at point opposite Vancouver They have
secured controlling interest in the Albina
ferry. and have bought the Veto, which in
seasonahle months runs from Vancouver to
the opposite shore. Should the city and
county grant the privilege asksd-and there
appears no valid reason why such franchises
should be rsfused--there will be within a
year direct and rapid communication be-
tween Vancouver and Portland over the
shortest possible route. The read across the
peninsula between the Willamette and Co.
lunbia rivers will be operated byi dummy"
engines and will be devoted alike to freight
and passengers. The company will construct
trestle more than mile in length across
the lowlands which are submerged during
the summer freshets. They will also make
proposition to the county court to extend
the long bridge parallel with the trsstls to
the ferry landing. With this improvement
the wagon road would be passabls at all sea.

The Transit Of Venus.

Prof. Davidson telegraphs from Station

co: The day opened clear, the sun was not
one diameter above the Organ Mountains,
when the first internal contact was observed
The time was much later than predicted.
The atmosphere at this altitude was un.
steady. The atmosphere Of Venus was
seen outside the suns limb. The second
internal contact was satisfactorily observed
the atmosphere growing more steady
The altitude OF the sun was AZ degrees
Micrometer measurements were then made
between the limbs OF the sun and Venus
these were satisfactory. During these
measures the first groupof six photograph
plates were exposed and gave sharp outlines
exhibiting the planet very we'll defined. A.
ter the planet had advanced one diameter

were exposed In groups Of six every eigh,
minutes. The photographs are remarkably
fine and no single hitch occurred through
out the whole series. Whilst this work was
being done, micrometer measures Of tht
Polar and Equatorial diameter Of Venu,
were made with double image microme
ter. In the Equatorial and transit instru
ments, the meridian transit Of the first lint
OF Venus and the last limb Of the sun wer,
observed. The photograph groups were
finished about twenty minutes before the
third contact, and give arg splendid pictures
When the micromcter measures were mad,
between the sun, the third contact interva
was observed with great precision, th,
limbs Of Venus and the sun being remark
ably sharp and we'll defined. After this con

The Duty ON Quinine.

In 1879 heavy reduction was made in
the duty on quinine. Its immediate effect,
strange as it may sound, was to largely d.
minish the direct importation Of the bark
into the United States. In 1879 the impor'
tations into the United States were ]6.7oo
packages. In 1850 they dropped to g. 500,
and in 1881 to 3l,4oo packages. In Europe
the importations in 1879 footed up 6+,4,o
packages. As soon as the duty Was re-
ages in 1880 and 14l,Sle packages in 1881.
The explanation is simple. The removal
Of the duty has made it impossible tor the
American laboratories n compete with
those of Germany and France, and immense
quantities of manufactured quinine are now
being imported. 1t is stated .at while the
wholesale price Of quinine has been reduced
the consumer Of small quantities has not
been benefited by it.
