THE TREACHEROUS RIVER.

LaAest Reports Indicate that tho Worst 10
The ice in the Missouri river above and
near Sioux City began going out the 1st,
and during the day much apprehension
was felt as to the overflow in the bottom
lands near Elk Point and Yankton. Ow.
ing to several miles of the Milwaukee
track being washed out, railroad com
munication between Sioux City aud Yank-
ton was cut of and the wires worked i'm
perfectly, thus precluding full particulars
OF the freshet Reports have been very
conflicting. 1t is barely possible that the
water reached as high stage as in 1881,
but it is believed the damage has been
meagrc. No lives have been lost,
and so far as learned no stock. Sensa-
tlonal telegrams have reached Sioux City
that Elk Point was inundated, and parties
were being rescued in boats. This is. be-
lieved to be false, and that Elk Point has
not suffered and that the worst is over.
The low land about three miles east of
Elk Point is covered by water, and here is
where the Milwaukee track is washed.
The Milwaukee is sending trains around
by Perry and Emmetsburg to Canton,
thence to up river points. At Sioux City
the water rose and fell in turn, but has
done nc damage

The committee decided not to make q
specific appropriation for the Illinois ship
canal, but to insert in the river and harbor
bill clause permitting the Secretary of
War, at his discretion, to make . surveySof
the Illinois and Desplaines rivers. The
clause is not mandatory, but simply author
ICES the Secretary to do thus and 80 and pay
the expense out Of the general appropria-
tion. In other words, the friends Of the

to Washington and persuade Mr.. Endicott
who can not see over the Allegheny noun

INDIANA SILVER MINKs.-The fol-
lowing is II communication from the
"Buck Shoals Mining & Smelling
Co.." to the Scientific Press:
EoIroRs PREss:-The last silver
bullion shipment from the Dubois Co.,
Indiana silver mines, has created a
favorable impression, and great
number of people gathered to witness
the cotton capacity smelter pouring
out its 800 pounds of concentrated
silver bullion daily.
Since the last three weeks of blow
ing in, this smelter, the water Jacket,
has run to our perfect satisfaction.
Some three hundred tons Of ore, now
at our smelling works, averages, &C.
cording to u. S. mint assay reports,
So ounces in silver and 4,l0 ounces in
gold per ton.
A good vein of coking coal was
found within fifty yards of our smelt-
ing works; also plenty of liner
and iron ore. There is also galena
for fluxing, 50 that the mining and
smelling expenses here do not exceed
81 per gross ton. More smelters will
be erected early this spring. This is
our fifth year of operation, and moth
ing has been said to the outside
world to cause the foolish booming so
detrimental to a new mining camp.
