An experiment has been made in
coking coal at the mines located at
Sillen, station on the Oregon Short
Line, q few miles west of Twin Creeks.
Coal taken to San Francisco one year
ago made such excellent coke as to
induce capitalists to invest in erecting
ovens and machinery, and their outlay
since amounts to some $50, 900 ar $40.
600. A company was formed, with a
capital of 500, 600, of which Mr.. Lud0-
v0ic is vice-president and manager.
Twenty-eight ovens, made of fire.
brick were erected, and part OF these
were used in an experimental charge.
When the ovens were opened it was
found that the coal had been convert
ed into white ashes. An expert ex-
amined the coal and mine and gave
it at his opinion that when depth
was attained or the coal measure ii
would coke nicely, and that the
failure in the trial charge was in
using coal so near the surface as to
be imperfect and having slaked from
exposure to the air. The company
have side tracks, extensive buildings
and good machinery, but to make the
works complete, Mr.. Ludovoic has
gone to Europe to purchase Other
machinery, which is expected to
make the enterprise success.

A Captains Account Of = Wreck.


T New YORK, Dec. 29.-J. w. Cath
crime, master of the steamer Chat. =
nooch, makes the following szs-e-
ment: About the 26th Of December,
when about five miles north of Win
ter Quarters light ship, we sighted a
three -masted schooner under close
reefed main and mizzen sails, en-
sign down, and bore away for her,
and the, vessel reported springiag a
leak the crew wished to be taken
off !; they said their boats were stove.
l then placed the steamer in such a
position as to shelter the schooner as
much as possible, and lowered boat
in charge of my End officer. The boat
returned in about an hour, failing to
rescue any of the schooner's crew,
because of a high sea which prevent
ed it from getting alongside. The
second officer had received injuries
in the boat which made 1t impossible
for him to again attempt the res
cue. Another boat volunteered to
make tile attempt. They were sup
piled with life buoys and lines, and
after several attempts they succeeded
in getting a life buoy to the schooner.
The second mate of the schooner
secured himself to buoy, and jump
ing overheard was picked up by the
boat. The buoys were then breaking
and became useless and it was i'm
possible to get very near the vessel
on account of the gale. AS night
was setting in the mist, rain, ,sleet aud
wind increased, and Othe schooner
was driven into shallow water and
was compelled. for the safety of my
own vessel, passengers, and crew tc
abandon the schooner. I was forced
very reluctantly to put my ship tc
sea. The name of the ill-fated
schooner was AriO Pandee." She
was loaded with cement for Philadel
phia. Tie schooner and four men
the remainder of the crew, are prob
ably lost.
