AccIDENTLY SHoT.-From Mr.. J. D.
Graham, who arrived in Corvallis last Mon
day, we learn that a son of Mr.. T. M.
Wadsworth, agent at the Siletz agency, was
accidently shot by his brother one day slast
week. From all that could be learned of
the unfortunate affair, it appears that two
brothers were in the house playing with a
loaded pistol, when it was discharged, the
ball entering the shoulder of one of the boys.
The wound, although dangerous one, is
not considered necessary fatal.

Moore, of that place, Is Superintendent and
part owner: 1t Is situated about twenty five
miles southeast Of Nogales, in Sonora. II
formerly belonged to the Governor of the
State of Sonora, who, about fifteen years
ago, put men to work on 1t and erected aras-
tras. The work had hardly commenced
when the Indians made a descent on the
place. and killed every man there. The
mine was then abandoned for about eight
years. when another party tried
to work it, but were also driven
terward taken and held by ranchers
but capitalists did not get hold of 1t, be-
cause II was very difficult TO get road to
the mine. Finally, the old rancher and
miner near Camp Thomas, known as the
potato and alfalfa raiser OF the Gila valley
bought half Of the mine, made road to 1t
passing for eight miles along rocky cafion.

The mill is now running aud working up
fine free milling ore. The mill is small and
has only a capacity of eight or ten tons Of
ore per day. 1t is intended to run it until
the parties are able to buy ten stamp mill
when they will realize about $500 per day
The ledge is about three and half feet wide

FRENCH DEFEAT.
six Dollars Apiece offered For
Dead Frenchmen.

PARIS, Oct 23.-Fuller adyices from China
gives the following particulars of the French
defeat at Tamai: On october 18th Lin
Ming Schuan, the Chinese General, sent
some of his soldiers disguised as Coolies to
offer to assist the French at their work OF
building forts. Meanwhile the rest OF the
Chinese soldiers formed an ambush near at
hand Presently signal previously agreed
upon was given, whereupon the supposed
Coolies and soldiers In ambush made sud,
den attack upon the French and hemmed
them In on all sides. The French were over
whelmed and rushed into the sea In the
widest confusion. Admiral Lespes admits
that 1O6 OF his men were Killed. He
offered reward of six dollars for
each corpse restored. The loss of the
French flag is greatly deplored. Admiral
Lespes endeavored to recover 1t from the
the Chinese by offering them two new flags
in exchange but the Chinese refused to en-
tertain the bargain. II Is stated In Paris that
one of the powers Is likely to take steps
looking to mediation between China and
France, with view to the amicable settle
ment of present difficulties. This power is
believed to be Germany. General Campenon,
the Minister OF War, asks authority Of the
Committee OF the Chamber OF Deputies on
Tonguin affairs, to form a number OF new
battalions, under the conditions of the bill
for the reorganization of the Colonial Army.
