We clip the following from tn,
Oregonsan Of the 14th from a ceres.
pondent who had just returned from bis
old home in Indiana:
zone thing / noticed, which, although
it is nothing new, ia growing TO such an
alarming extent that think the public
should be warned, and that is the
practice Of shipping diseased pork to the
Pacific slope. Hog cholera is very bad
in the country from which I have Just
returned, and many deaths arc occurring
from the scourse. One intelligent farmer
who raises great many hogs, informed
me that the disease is prevalent every
where, aud that all hogs are affected
more or less by it. He said that the
country fairly swarmed with men who
are buying up aud shipping all the hogs
obtainable to Chicago. There the hogs
are slaughtered aud converted into fine
hams, bacon and lard from corn fed hogs,
which is shipped to tho Pacific coast, aud
our merchants buy aud sell the lard
hams aud bacon from this diseased pork.
l should think some action would be
taken in this matter, but suppose peo-
pie do not know what they are eating,
|, for one, have been convinced that
domestic pork is good enough for me-"

GRRATFL FLOODS IN CHINA.

WASHINGTON, Oct. ia dispatch
from Minister Deuby, under date Of
August 81, referring to the ravases Of
the Yellow river in China, says the
damage caused by the latest outbreak in
Us banks is irreparable, owing to the
deposits Of silt. II is estimated that fifty
years must elapse before the lands in
undated will be used again for agricul-
tural purposes. A peculiar feature Of
the trouble is the deposits in the bed Of
the river arc 80 constant in accretion that
any system Of prevention Of these breaks
in the banks caused by Use in the bed
Of the river to be effective would cost a
most enormous sum of money, it seems
likely radical system for the prevention
of these breaks will never be adopted and
the foods may be expected each year.
Ho Nan, one Of the most prosperous
provinces, is ruined. Anhui has suf-
fered terribly and now Shan Tung is sub
merged. The autferings Of ten millions
Of people has produced great distress,
which the means Of the government are
inadequate to provide for. Foreigners
have poured out money literally in con-
trihutions to alleviate the distress.

= NHW MINING DISTRICT.

Since my last / have seen and con
ysrsed with several gentlemen who have
this summer inspected the prospects in
~ nov mining district on the head
waten Of Rapid river, 10 close to the
boundary line that without doubt a
part Of tho new district i located in
Idaho county. They al talk Of the new
camp - one that will soon rank among
the best 10 this territory, a. every mine
Jet discovered i rich and shows unmis-
taxable and we'll defined fssure veins
from two to seven feet in width. The
group Of mines consisting Of the Twin
Lakes, Bostonia and Magnolia are the
property Of Ruth 4 Go. The Eureka
and Beatrice are owned BY Messrs.
Richards 4 Leonard. The veins are in
greensboro and porphyry. The ore is
gold and silver; gold predominating.
Al the ore carries black sulphurets and
tellurrium. A test Of the ore taken
from the Twin Lakes mine (ten tons Of
selected oro) was made At Ruth's mill
near Ruthburg and it yielded $500 per.
ton; though assays have been made Of
the ore from this mine that went as high
= g, $50 per ton. There ia now on the
dump Of Twin Lakes mine fifty to
seventy -fse tons Of ore that will average
300 per ton. But little work has been
done in this camp this season aud the
forest fires have prevented much pros
pectiDg. Nh. Ruth is one OF the best
psospestors in this territory and man
whose judgement on mino is rarely out
ot tho way. He believes this is one of
tho richest camps in the territory and
ono that will produce as much gold and /!
oiiver q the best of them.
Quarts basin camp, in the Seven
Dsvils district has long been noted for
lhs large houldsrs Of float quarts that are |
broadcast IN it and from which
q name u taken. These boulders all
ecetain free gold, but not until late las.
year mas any ledge discovered, and
recent prospecting has developed
yefitable bonanza Of free milling ore, and
J ersat camp will undoubtedly be estai6.

RAILROAD TO LEwIsToN.

Don't all jump with expectations at
uuch AN announcement. II the river
vas out Of the way, as navisable
stream, aud the productivness Of the
country is to remain the same as now,
there car 10 no disputing the fact that
railroad communication would have been
here long ago, aud the people Of this
section would have advanced to . much
higher degree Of prosperity than that in
which they now find themselves.
Instead Of now enquiring tor
other places to do business and
help build up ether places 10 the interior,
they would be content here and all
concentrate their means, time and
euercie, to swell the natural advantages
Of this place for business, on account Of
location and climate. It is true that the
country around il not level in every
direction for easy railroad building, with
out much expense, but it i not i'm
practicable, nor is it worse than other
places to which railroads have been
built On the coast, where business is not
half yo promising at the present, and
never as much so for the future. Willard
MAS here several years ago and told our
people that we did not need railroad 50
long as we had the Snake river; that 1t
was ample to do our business, when he
knew that it was not ample to carry our
grain to market in season by thousands
81 tons, which had to be held over till
the next season It great expense and
then be sold 1t reduced rates. Mr..
Willard statement was disputed publicly
u the time be made it BY one OF two Of
our citizens, and hence be a. an individ.
ual has never since been regarded as
favorable to granting 10 the people Of
this section what they were justly en-
titled to. Since be has been restored to
full power 10 that company no act Of his
Or expressed opinion in regard to this
section has indicated that he has changed
Iii views and 90 far a. be may have auy
direct influence o. control 10 regard 70
Supplying this section with railroad
facilities We cannot hope for anything
from that quarter. Il is not 80 with
many who are in that company and in
'tsreated il the welfare Of that company
They would BE- glad to see = railroad
speedily built through this section and
believe il would be for the financial
bsne6t Of both the company and the
people Who reside il this section. As
masters are We here must have patience
and abide onr 1ine. Our strong desire
