THE BIG STEEL BRIDGE.
A Busy Crowd Of WOrkmen, but the
Mills Cannot Supply Timbers
Fast Enough.

Work on the Willamette bridge is
moving along as rapidly as possible,
but the sawmlls have been unable
to get out material enough to keep
such a force of men going as the
contractors contemplated using,
consequently several had to be let GO,
and the work las been somewhat
retarded. There are still about
thirty men employed in the several
departments.
The first tier of false work is built
from this side out to the first pier,
the sub.structure piling for which is
driYen and is to be made ready for
the reception of the crib to-day.
This piling will be cut Off level
three feet from the bottom of the
river, or some 49, feet below
the present surface of the water.
This operation is performed by
means of circular saw attached to a
shaft and sunk the required depth,
he saw and its franz weighing some
800 pounds. This immense in. pie
nent came near killing four men
Yesterday. They were holding it in
he water, when the donkey engine
made some mislck letting the cable
lip on the pulley and HE saw went
lown, almost taking the men under
t, but they luckily escaped.
On top of the piling when cut of
will be placed the cribs to receive
The abutments. These cribs are al
eady framed and anchored in the |
liver above the bridg waiting to be |
1t in place. They are formed Of
velve layers Of square timbers cross.
d and recrossed, each piece twelve
nches square, the whole forming
old structure A feet long and about
8 feet wide.
The bank above the bridge il
trewn with timbers in process of
haping and framing and with NJ
urther delay the false work will he
'ompleted in a short time and the
irst span put in. The piling is also
lriven for the substructure at the
vest end. Every stick of timber
lsed is carefully inspected by Mr.
.IcCoy and by the contractors also,
who desire to make a job of tins that
will be a credit to them and a last
ng monument to their skill as
.uilders, and not faulty piece or
lint will be allowed to exist there
with the knowledge of those in
barge.
1t is thought that the first of
November will see the bridge com
leted, so that Salem this year can
ave its Thanksgiving day a little
irlier than common.

THE OLD HOMESTEAD. Den.
man Thompson's famous play ui
New England lite will be seen al
Reeds opera house Saturday even.
ing August End. This wonderful
character piece of realistic life,
seems to have had larger and
more effective influence on the
drama in this country, than any
play that has so far been writ
ten. 1t has given birth to drama
of American life. All the delightful
characteristics of the bluff, yet whole
souled New England farmer, are re-
tanned. Devoid of the usual sensa-
tionalisms 50 common among dra-
matte works, its strength apparently
lies in the simple honest manner in
which it deals with the everyday
phases OF everyday life; in the llvi ~,
breathing, natural delueation of
character, that runs through from
first to last; the unaffected humor of
the situations, and those touches of
nature that level the actors with the
audiences. These, and many other
qualities, have endeared it to theatre
patrons, irrespective of their affilia-
ton with New England people and
scenes. Tickets on sale at Patton's.

FELL FROM A SCAFFoLD.-David
Steiner, Of the firm of Steiner g.
Bl0sser, was the victim of a terrible
fall last evening about five o'clock.
He was soldering the cave cutters
on Geo. Collins new residence on
Church street, when the scaffold-
ing gave way with him and he fell
to the ground, distance of about
20 feet. He struck "all overn as the
saying is, and sustained several
severe bruises, besides such a shak-
ing up as leaves him very sore in
legs, arms, body and head. The
right side of his face is bruised, a
small cut was received on the corner
of the forehead and a severe cOntus-
ion near the temple. 1t is said by
some who examined the place where
he fell that were it not for pear
tree growing there, which partly
broke the fall, it might have resulted
fatally. Mr.. Steiner is able to be up
around the house, but suffers a good
deal Of pain. The scaffold had been
put up in n carelessly weak fashion
and he did not examine it before
thereon.

Washington Camp, No. l, P. O. s. of A., makes the announcement to- day that the anniversary of Washing tons birthday will be celebrated in a fitting manner. The Camp will pay all expenses of the entertainment and the entire proceeds of the sale of tick cts will be donated to the public school library. The programme, as arranged, will be the best for money ever given in this city, and this, and the object for which it is given, will make it the most popular and successful event of the season. Appropriate programmes of the literary exercises will be dis tributed in Schieffelin Hall, and the supper will be something unusual in variety and excellence. The best music to be had will be at the dance, and those who find any fault with anything will have their money re- funded and be given a suitable chromo.

 Quartz Mountain mill is crusbing good ore. The gold is shipped to Kansas City.
 The Hillside mine is not shipping ore just now. Roads are too muddy. Owners and lessees expect to ship $5OO, 900 worth of ore next Spring and Summer.
 Placer miners of Weaver, Hassay- ampa, Walker, Big Bug and Black Canyon district, have, during the past month, shipped $20,OOO worth to Prescott and other places Courier.

A Singular Epidemic.

An epidemic is raging in the towns on the Gila below Solomonvills, which threatens to become very severe unless prompt action is taken to prevent its spread. pr. Hoeffer had a call from Pima Monday night, and while in the valley he examined a number of cases and pronounces the disease spotted fever of most malignant type, and says that it is liable to spread to an alarming extent unless something is done at once to check it. Schools and all public gatherings should be sus- pended for the time being and people should not visit the sick unless it is necessary. The disease partakes of some of the characteristics of the measles and the la grippe, and in the European countries where it is com. mon it is regarded as very danger. ous disease Star.

Gro BlalcO District.

The main shaft of the Yellow Jacket is down 40, all in ore. A cross-cut of Z9 feet, all in 0re has not yet reached either wall, which shows that the body Of ore Is mammoth in size.
 There are twenty men working on and about the mine. There is one team hauling ore all the time to the mill at Arivaca, which is about nine miles distant.
 The ore which is being milled is very rich. It is taken from 8 new opening near the surface. The vein is six feet wide and all good ore.
 Tbere are several mines being worked with good results and parties in from the district say that several mining sales are on the tapis.-Star.
Tombstone epitaph., 1890-02-01
The Ant as a Fighter.

Ants are terrible fighters. They have powerful jaws, considering the size of their bodies, and therefore their method of fighting is biting. They will bite one another and hold on with a wonderful grip of the jaws, even after all their legs have been bitten off by other ants. Sometimes six or eight ants will be clinging with death grip to one another, making a peculiar spectacle, some with leg gone, and some with half the body gone. One singular fact is that the grip of an ants jaw is retained even after the body has been bitten of, and nothing but the head remains. This knowledge is possessed by certain tribe of h. dians in Brazil, South America, who put the ants to very peculiar use.
 When an Indian gets a gash cut in his head, instead of having the flesh sewed together as the physicians do in this country, he secures five or six large black ants, and, holding their heads near the gash, they bring their jaws together in biting the flesh, and thus pull the two sides of the gash to- gether. Then the Indian pinches off the bodies of the ants and leaves their heads cllnging to the flesh, which IS held together till the gash is perfectly healed.-Professo Morse.
Tombstone epitaph., 1890-02-01

The Herschel Mining Company will soon make another shipment of first class ore to Fl Paso. A large quantity of second class ore is now on the dumps and will probably be worked at the Sterling Silver Mill when it starts up, which will be about the 10th of next month. A small amount of the old-time rich ore was recently struck in the Herschel and will probably lead to larger body.

Late news from the City of Mexico is to the effect, that suit has been commenced for the return to the gov ernment of the McWoods and Green concession for the Sinaloa & Durango railroad, the same having been for feited. Also that the concession to the Topolobampo & Pacific railway has been officially declared forfeited, and the company will consequently lose the forfeit money, some $90,000. -Nogales Record.
