Somewhat Romantic

One of the passengers on the Dakofa, says
| the Intettigeacer, was a young lady from the
east, whose object in conaing to this coun-
try was to marry man she had never seen.
They had become acquainted through friends
and by letters, and after protracted pen,
ink and paper courtship had concluded to
chance matrimony. The man was on the
wharf to receive her, accompanied by the
ladies' friends. She duly came ashore, and.
after asgeneral and very hearty hand-shak-
ing, and proper amount of fsblssing," sha
was introduced to her intended husbands
They stood off moment each taking q
good look at the other, and then with d
little glad cry she sprang into his OUT
stretched arms, and for minute Or two
there was some of the most rapturous huge
ging and kissing yet done on this townsites
The couple were apparently obivious of the
crowd of strangers surrounding them, and,
seeming immensely pleased with each oths
er went OFF up town.

Development Of @ Rev Industry, Hither.
Neglected In Oregon.
By the southern freight train which ar
rived here last night, Hodge, Davis l. Co
received shipment of thirteen TASKS O
quicksilver. just retor.ed from the Oregon
Cinnabar and Silver company's mine il
Douglas county, of which that firm are
| part owners, says the Oregonian. This is
the second shipment of pure quicksilver
from that mine, the first having been made
| about ak weeks ago. The company will
not attempt the reduction of any more rock
this winter, but will erect new works in the
spring. by which they hope to double their
daily product. In the mean time they will
go on developing their mine, getting out a
large supply of crude cinuabaf for smelling
purposes and increasing also the facilities
for ventilating the mine and shipping its
mine will give it's owners a complete con-
troll of the marked in the adjoining counties
of Jackson and Josephine, and probably in
the once famous mining county of Siskiyou,

are complete, they-will reduce the ore SO
much cheaper as to enable the company to
compete successfully, in the markets of
Idaho and eastern Oregon, with the pro-
ducts of the Bedington AMI New Almaden
mines in California. The extention of the
o. Il. II N. lines on the Baker City branch,
will soon open up that valuable trade to
them.
The amount of money hitherto paid by
Oregon to California, since the discovery of
gold in the southern part of this state, can
hardly be calculated; and even what has
been consumed in Jackson county alone,
must run well up into the millions. Add
to that the enormous quantity used in
Grant and Baker counties, in the past
twenty years, and the shrewd calculator
can see how much better off Oregon would
have been had this quicksilver mine been
discovered even inlS55. Henceforth Ore
son need import no more quicksilver, for
she has the crude cinnabar in her own hills
and plenty of fuel for its reduction. Thus
we see how, step by step, our young and
thrifty state grows more ablerto help her
self and becomes less dependent upon her
sister states for staple articles needed in the
prosecution of her local Industries.
