brought US couple of fine, luseiou:

The Osbornes got left yesterday, and
consequently could not appear last night
as advertised. The wires were down,
too, and hence they were unable to send
word of their coming taday. However,
they appeared this morning, and their
appearance this evening may be counted
on. Their entertainment is fayarabIy
noticed by the press elsewhere.

A friend writes: "rhere is a coal pros
pect in Quileute. If Willard knew of the
extensive coal fields, gold, mineral, lum-
Der and agricultural resources of that
section the n. P r. R. would never ter
inmate till it reached Quileute" More
likely, the Oregon Short Line or some
| other corporation will eventually secure
control of the country lying west of the
Olympic range aud between Cape Flat
terry and the Columbia riYer-and eventu-
| ally an outlet will be found in that way
for the whole OF the Quileute section.
The ship Richard III arrived here
Sunday morning in tow of the tug Ia
coma, bound for San Francisco, and
anchored in the fog off Marrowstone
Point. Captain Adams lme ashore and
rushed up TO the Collectors residence in
company with Mr.. Rothschild and asked
to be cleared us speedily as possible,
saying he had gotten aground and he
wanted to 90 to sea at high tide, as the
tug was engaged to do other towing and
a delay might detain him several days.
Collector Bash kindly had the necessary
papers made out, and the vessel put to
sea. Yesterday it transpired that the
captain had more urgent reason for
wanting to get away. He had violated
the laws at Seattle and had driven a
deputy .. S. Marshal from the deck of
his ship at the point of u pistol. The
telegraph wires were down and word
could not be sent through, and the
officers failed in their efforts TO charter
another steamer to pursue the fleeing
captain. However, Captain Adams will
be arrested on his arrival in San Fran
cisco, brought back in irons and tried at
Seattle. 1t is thought he was aided in
his escape by parties here. Our q. S.
Marshal says in connection with this
matter that it is time our laws were en-
forced in earnest. If we are to permit
their brazen violation we might as well
return to rope justice, cross beams and
vigilance committees.
IRoNDALE,-This point is just now at
tracing local attention. Operations at
the smelling works have been temporari-
ly suspended again and the furnace
blown out. Mr.. White, the superinten-
dent, is about to go to San Francisco,
and may resign his position. 1t seems
that Mr.. White started in with the bene
ut of the experience of the former super
intendent. Mr.. Moor, and upon that gave
certain assurances in his contract as to
the amount of iron the new furnace
would turn out per day. Everything
has worked well except as to the guam
tity of iron manufactured, and the fact
that the furnace has not run as long as it
should. It has made of first-class iron
about fourteen tons per day, which has
used all the ore that the roasting fur
mace could turn out. 1t seems that the
Texada ore requires thorough roasting
to get the sulphur out, and that the
combination of ores furnishes something
entirely new as compared with the smelt-
ing of ores at other points on the coast.
As a consequence there is more or less
of experiment connected with The enter
prise. It was thought that Mr.. Moor
had made partial failure, YET every day
proves that suggestions and predictions
made by him were based upon a far
seeing knowledge of the business. Mr..
| White is undoubtedly ii frst-class me-
chanic, and has fully come up to the
expectations of the company in every
thing save the two points mentioned;
the result has disappointed him in these
particulars more, perhaps, than the
owners. During the suspension of smelt
ing, Mr.. Blanchard will go to Texada
| with force of men to tunnel into the
ore there and ascertain if it is not more
free from sulphur in the interior than
on the surface Work will probably be
resumed at the reduction works in a
month or SO. In the meantime, We have
! no doubt Mr.. White will be able to
demonstrate satisfactorily to the owners
of the concern that he has done the very
best he could under the circumstances.
