Another New Road,

1t having been reported that a party OF
engineers was recently Quilted at Yaki-
ma for the purpose of ascertaininR the
best route for railway from Portland in
this direction, the feasibility of such line
has been considerably discussed here dur
ing the past week. 1t is presumed that If
the Southern Pacific is connected with the
proposition the road would likely be made
to tap the Big Bend country bv crossing
and thence up Grab creek in this direction.
With view to ascertaining some infor.
nation regarding the country that would
be thus traversed a representative of the
REVIEW yesterday sought an interview
with ID. Nj. Drumheller, who has had
large cattle and sheep interests in the
country lying southwest of here, and
whose business interests have often called
him in that direction. In answer to the
reporters inquiry Mr.. Drumheller said.
"Yes. am we'll acquainted with the
route OF the proposed road, and have often
been over the country between Spokane
Falls and Priest Rapids. The only point
at which the road can leave the Columbia
advantageously is ut or near Priest Rapids,
coming In this direction up Crab creek to
Moses lake. During the entire distance
there is Il natural roadbed, and the route
proposed is as level as Riverside avenue.
From Priest Rapids to Moses lake. about
so miles, the country is at present devoted
exclusively to grazing. 1t ia q fine stock
country. being covered with bunch grass
and is we'll supplied with water. The
general character of the land ia similar to
that in the vicinity Of Ritzville. 1t has
never been tried for agricultural purposes.
but would probably prove productive with
irrigation. Water can be taken from the
Columbia river tor this purpose, and this
will probably eventually be done. From
Moses lake in this direction farming is
now being carried on. The soil il simi.
lar to the soil of the Yakima valley, being
covered with sage brush, and Is especially
adapted to the growing of fruits and vege-
tables :"

A Gold Region with Fine Prospeots.
Ten stamp Mill Now Being
Busls.

Mr.. j. b. McGee, who cane to this city
last week for the purpose OF looking over
the mining regions 10 this section. re.
turned yesterday from Tho Vermillion creek
district, which Is just now attracting q
large number of pro-pectors. As already
stated In the REVIEW, Mr.. MCGEE is q
practical miner OF thirty years experience,
and consequently his opinion on mining
matters is eagerly sought wherever he 10
known, which is pretty much all over the
Pacific coast. A REVIEW reporter met
him yesterday and asked his opinion OF
the vermilion creek country.
1T is q gold country" be replied,
''and the indications are very encouraging.
Some promising lodges are being opened
up; and | think some good placer mines
will be found there. Placer mining was
evidently engaged in on VermilIion creek

Both these claims are owned by Greeley q

the Hardfoot, which also shows high.
grade ore, is located.
There are large number OF prospectors
in the country, and about 100 locations
have been made. A ten-stamp mill is
being built on Canyon creek. A road is
being built from the ferry over Ciarke's
fork at the mouth of Vermillion creek to
the mouth of Canyon creek, thence up
Canyon creek four miles TO the location
where the quartz mill is to be built. Near
the head of Lyons creek, over the divide
between Vermillion creek and Fisher
creek, there is a new discovery which is
being worked by Herman, Ladd and La
man. They are down ten feet. and
have lS inches of good ore. To the south
east are locat ed other claims belonging to
Tim Driscoll and j. w. Allen, which
show nice groupings, The mouth Of Yer

who was directed by the secretary of war
to observe the movements Of the militia

the centennial celebration, and with par
ticular reference to the ability of the vari-
Gus scommands to concentrate at strategic
points in short time, IL now preparing
his report. He WAS much pleased with
the result and says that fully AZ, 600 militia
men poured into the city without any dis
turbsnce on time and on an
average within sixteen hours from
the time they started from their
homes, as the troops were delayed by the
regular passenger trains and were in some
cases sidetracked to permit other traffic to
60 on. Captain Taylor regards the time
made AS highly favorable, and as demon
strating that In case of need 10000 militia.
men could be assembled In New York
within fifteen hours. The fourth New
York brigade coming from outside the city
landed 2lS4 men OF their total strength OF
225O. At Weehawken they were ferried
over the river and marched to Madison
Square, grounded and stacked arms all in
one hour and fifty-five minutes despite the
ferry-house stations and streets were
jammed with people. Captain Taylor also
remarked upon the enthusiastic reception
accorded by the public to the militia clad
in plain blue and nothing but regular
army aCCouterments.

A BREAK FOR LIBERTY.
An Attempt to Escape from the County

Some Of the prisoners con6nsd in the
county jail conceived q plan whereby
they might gain their liberty, and had set
about yesterday to put it into operation,
and but for the information given by Mrs.
Skeels TO Deputy Warren they would have
succeeded. They had made a saw from q
steel shank used to stiffen shoe soles, and
with this they were enabled to remove q
bar OF iron about thirty inches long. two
inches wide and a quarter OF an inch
thick They used this bar of iron in pry.

made 1t an easy matter to open all of the
cells. This weuld allow them all to get
out into the corridor. Blankets had been
cut up to be used as gags 10
close the mouths of the prisoners
that were liable to make an out
cry and frustrate their plans. It was their
intention, when the jsiler came inside In
the morning. TO overpower and gag him,
then take the keys and quit the plsc.. As
soon as their plans were discovered Sheriff
Hinchclif with his deputy, Tom Warren,
made a careful and thorough examination
OF the Jail and searched all the prisoners.
IL was learned that eight out of the thir-
teen prisoners confined In the cage were
implicated 10 the STAIR, and the concep.
tion OF the plan is laid to the ingenious
brains OF Ed. Costello, u horse thief, Al
Perryman, harness thief. and McLough.

jail-birds undoubtedly intended to gain

have been handled very roughly had he

An Incsndiary Fire.

A Rubyite writes to the Okanogan Gut :
look: About $50 p. M. Sunday night
Phil. Perki ms stable was burned. He had
a large supply of provisions, clothing, ETC.,
stored in the building, which were total
loss. The fire was supposed TO be the work
of an'incendiary. Some disreputable char.
acters created disturbance by refusing to
allow the citizens to carry water for the
purpose of extineuishing the flames. This
was the cause of calling a meeting of the
citizens next morning when a committee
Of safety against fires was organized; 3-3-

The HAWAIIAN TREATY.

The S. F. Alta of April 9Th, has
the following editorial:
The Chronicle admits its desire
to secure the abrogation of the Ha-
waii treaty. This means that it
wishes to abandon the American
foothold secured by that treaty, and
that it wants our business men to
surrender $12, 100000 of trade per
year. Where will the Chronicle find
an equal volume of commerce, as
valuable to California, to replace
what it proposes to give up? All
men who know anything well know
that the Sandwich Islands would
fall under the domination of Eng
land or Germany within six months
after the abrogation of this treaty.
Our few merchants who have few
interests in Samoa have complained
of the GOODNESS of the German
shoulder as they encountered it in
Apia. How would the much larger
number like to undergo the same
experience in Honolulu? Enterprise
and diplomacy have won for US our
position in Honolulu, and the follies
of personal rancor should not be
permitted to lose it for us. 1t has
been conceded on all sides that only
this treaty deferred Germany from
selecting the Sandwich Islands as
the scene of her experimental ag-
gressions.
