Trip to the Front.

Mr.. EDIroR: Not knowing the peculiari-
and trembling that l offer the following
truthful description of kissing scrape which
occurred on the 4th inst, III one of the tun
nels of the o. and c. railroad. In the last
issue of the INDEPENDENT you have Informed
your readers of slide that took place near
Table creek, causing the construction train
to be 'quarantined" for several days and as
some of the passenger train boys who are
and who being desirous Of visiting the dam
aged portion of the road, organized a small
party of ladies and gentlemen for that pur
pose. We left Riddle about A IL Each
weather and the prospect OF a good time.
As We passed from point to point adiniring
the splendid farms that are located between
Riddle and the mouth of the canyon. noticed
that two of the older members of our party
were getting rather 'spooney" on the young
ladies. who seemed to enjoy their company
hugely. Now comes the tug of war. The
older members mentioned, Mr.. S., weight
300, and Mr.. G., 100, thought they would
take advantange of the situation while pass
ing through tunnel one. as they proceeded to
do, as the sequel will show. Tunnel ore is
very short, and if the boys and girls are GO
ing to kiss they had better be quick about it.
Well. our two old boys and swo young girls
were quick-too quick. fes N zen the train

Mr.. q. had his arms around tie neck of Mr..
S. with portion Of the long, white NOUS
tache of the latter tangled in his teeth.
while the young ladies' declared that Mr.. G.
spoiled all the fun by his egregious blrnder.

MAJOR VIcFoR TREVIrT, the Oregon
p.oneer and Mexican veteran, was
buried on the 4th of March, on Mem
aloose island, at his request. The is
land lies in the Columbia river short
distance below the Dallss, and Las been
used by the Indians from time immemo-
rial as burial ground, hence its meme
which means "the island of the dead. ;"
The funeral ceren. onics were conducted
by the Masonic fraternity and were
very impressive. Nearly all the old
residents who had lived in this section
In pioneer days and known Major
Trevitt in his younger days, were pres
en- to pay their last respects. Tne re-
porter says: At half-past II the Has
ssIo landed at sandy spit on the lower
end of this desolate spot. Above lay
rocky bluffs covered with a few trees
and stunted underground of sage
brush. The rude structures--the dead
housss-appear at irregular intervals.
which add wierd and ghastly aspect
to this city of the silent majority. The
cortege was headed by the Masonic fra
ternity, and after climbing rocky
point came to the brow of the bill,
where brick vault had been prepared
for the reception of the remains. From
this spot a beautiful view of the river
and surrounding scenery could be had,
and here the wintry blasts will frown
and the breezes of summer will smile
around this man of infinite jest. In
time marble slab fourteen feet high
will mark the spot, thus being signal
to the passer-by of the last resting
place of Major Trevitt.

Worth Thinking OF.

The New York Times, jealous Re-
publican paper, expresses great indig-
nation at proposition made by the
Coinage Committee of the House to
have the surplus silver coin paid out
among the people in redemption of in
terest- bearing obligations. Tt de-
nonnees this scheme as wicked, and in
dulges in considerable abuse of thcs .
wh3 favor it. It would seem that the
Government could SO manage its pay
ments as to throw the silver dollars
into use among the people, where they
are needed There is no mistake about
this, and there is no mistake about the
bitter determination of a class to drive
and keep the silver out of use, to make
room for the unclean small notes that
were so long forced on the people as an
ordinary currency. We do nor like to
find men fighting to defeat the legit:-
mate working of good law. All
classes Of silverscoin are needed among
the interior population, aud the Gov
ernment, having taken upon itself the
sole privilege of coming money, ought
certainly to do what it can to place it
where the people can use it. Once let
the channels Of interior circulation get
well filed with silver, aud small notes
will not be able to compete, and TINS
certain parties will miss their expected
profits

he wa. about putting away his rifle, after
attempting to kill chicken hawk, when il

Mining News.

The following mining news we clip
from The Jacksonville Times:
Gin Lin seems to be the only miner
III Uniontown precinct who has an
abundance of water.
Many of the miners are busy, but
some have no water at ALL The min
ing season does not promise well.
Goldworthy 4 Justns are opening
the main bed of Foots creek, which
enterprise will no doubt prove remuner-
ative in time.
Curtis Bros, who are engaged in
piping off the old tailinss in jackson
creek, have been doing well, consider
ing their opportunity. They took out
about $50 in ore day last week
TIE Gold Hill Mining Co. has en-
ploged Mr.. Thomas, an experienced
qrartz miner, to prospect for the miss
ing vein, which paid SO enormously in
days gone by. He has been engaged
in repairing the old tunnel, which was
in a dangerous condition.
Bybse, Hawkett i Co. are running
their claim near Waldo night and day.
with good prospects. Snow fell to the
depth Of three feet at the head of the
ditch and they will probably be able to
run two pipes until the lst of June, as
they have excellent water privileges.
A clean-up made after few days run
yielded over $500. Some Of their ditch
slid in, but the damage il about re-
paired.

OUR WATER WORKS.

Tho new ten million gallon pump in the
last evening and although it worked q
little stiff in its ponderous joints it was
fully demonstrated to those who witnessed
the trial that it will accomplish all that
its inventor has claimed. This new pump
is the invention of James Waters, the chief
engineer of the water board, and the in
ventor Of all the pumps used in the direct
pressure system of our city. Most of Mr..
Waters pumps have stood test Of ten
or twelve years and they
are nearly as good to-day
as when they were first put in service.
The new ten million gallon pump has an
eccentric on the upper extremity of the
perpendicular shaft from the 500-horse
power wheel which works five horizontal
pumps. These pumps discharge into q
cylindrical pipe around which they are ar
ranged, and from this they go into the
general distribution system. The beauty
of the new pump is in its simplicity and
the entire absence of cog wheels. 1t runs
as noiseIessly IS improved sewing ma
chimes. Mr.. Waters, by this, his latest eff
fort, places himself where he
has long deserved to stand, in the
front rank of skilled mechanics
AS soon as the new pump is put into
service-which will be in few days-thI
public will be invited to inspect it ani
the recently completed pump house IL
which it is located.
