The New Westminster Truth says:
Great fears are entertained for the
safety of the ship Astoria, laden with
rails to be used for the Southern rail-
way at this port. Thus far she has
been out 206 days and nothing has
been heard of her since the 29th of
April last, when she put into the Falk-
land islands disabled. There is no
Geographic communication with the
islands as yet, while monthly mail
service is all the inhabitants of that
distant land can boast of in the shape
of communication with the world.
A report, probably unfounded, said
that she had put into CHILEAN port
on the 18th of May again disabled, but
if such was the case she would have
been heard from. 1t is, however, not
an unusual occurrtnce for ships to be
out 200 days and then turn up, and it
is hoped that the Astoria is recording
one of these unusual occurrences.

A Council Of Sages.

One night within q grocery store,

To smoking first the sages fell.
Till soon the air was blue as-well,
when with sort Of husky yell
A councilman spoke,
But who he was could not tell
Amid such smoke.
lie said we're gathered here tonight,
To have ths matter settled right:
'Gainst annexation We should fight
For sacred honor;
Tumwater ne'er shall have slight
Thus cast upon her.
Important questions stu remain
Which will be greatest-loss or gain -

Olympia we'll enter.
Ifnot we'll still this burg maintain
Az auti-progress center.
Shall We Olympia taxes pay
With no pOstoffice where we may
Lay round and smoke day after day
In rain or shine?
So now my fellow-c0uncellors say,
Are VIC to Join!
Then Oileman boldly answered "Yes,"
v lille others cried +" Not much guess"
And omRes argued more or less
Some wrong, -some right,
And chewed tobacco to excess
That stormy night.
But right could not that night avail,
For mossback greed and maxims stale
Did over common sense prevail

Pilot Knob.

The celebrated Pilot Knob mines
have been worked since 1885, and dur
ing the years intervening to the present
time have produced an almost fabulous
amount OF ore. says the st. Louis
Republic. Tho mines reached their
zenith in 1881, when they produced
100000 tons. This output was con-
tinued for about three years, when it
began rapidly falling off, and two
years ago the Vulcan works, whose
capacity IS $4,000 tons per month.
were closed for want of sufficient ore.
The company continued to prospect,
however, feeling confident that it
would soon strike another paying vein,
and asa last resort the company sunk
another shaft 40 feet deep the ex-
pense of which was enormous. This
failed also, and the conclusion was
forced upon the company that the
mountain of iron' was exhausted.
Prospecting was continued, however,
but very quietly, until a vein was
struck nearer the surface. This vein
was nothing like the original vein,
however, the output being only seven
cars daily. The mines were quietly
stripped of all the machinery, and
scarcely any Of it is to be found there
at this time.
The furnaces and FORCES were built
in l847 by the Pilot Knob Iron COM
pany, and in 1858 were acquired bv
Choteau, Harrison & Vale. Before
the Iron Mountain railroad was COM
pleted to this point the output had to
be carried over the Ozark mountains
to Ste. Genevieve Mo. It. finally
came into possession of the st. Louis
Ore and Steel company.
The location Of the mine is historic
ally interesting, as it was one of the
worst nests of bushwhackers developed
BY the war. It was at Pilot Knob that
Ulysses S. Grant received his com
mission as general. It was at Pilot
Knob that the United States head
quarters for the southwest were es-
tablished. It was at Pilot Knob that
Gen. Hardee surrendered in 1861, and
1t was this same spot that the celebrat-
ed battle Of Pilot KnoD was fought in
September of 1861. And now, like the
tales of the war. the erstwhile famous
Pilot Knob mine. = the supposed Col
conda, is 4 thing Of the past, q

45 is si
paper published ut Saigon, il
French Cochin China, gives an account
of u singular experiment recently
made in that colony with q new means
of motive power, A French resident
at the town Of Ha-tien, a small port on
the Gulf OF Siam, conceived the idea
that it would be perfectly practicable
to make the immense turtles which are
not uncommon in those ports, and
which swim with no little rapidity, do
service in drawing boats.
He purchased two large turtles at 8
cost Of $40, and fitted them out with q
neat harness, with reins. Then he OBJ.
tanned a light, open boat, about fifteen
feet long, and attached his turtles to ii
by means of traces.
Then, holding his reins fast he set
out on a little voyage with the turtle
team. The creatures padded along
very prettily, alta rate somewhat ex-
cceding the ordinary walking Of a man.
AS they directed their course toward
the open sea, and as the weather was
calm and beautiful and the voyage ex.
ceedingly pleasant, it did not occur to
the Frenchman to make any very
thorough test of his ability to guide the
animals.
Much delighted, indeed, with the sue.
cess Of his experiment., he kept on aud
on until he presently noted that he was
already a considerable distance out at
sea and that the sun was setting.
The interested navigator then at
tempted to turn his team about, but the
turtles resisted any such movement.
They had evidently made up their
minds to go to sea. and they would not
be dissuaded from their purpose.
The driver pulled his reins until he
upset his turtles in the water, but as
often as they regained the use of their
tiippers they set out again for the mid
die of the sea.
Night settled down rapidly. Luck
lily, the inventor of the new means of
marine traction had brought with him
q pair Of oars and, us a last resort. he
took knife, cut his tugs andlet his sea
steeds, harnesses, reins and all, 90 their
way.
Then he rowed back laboriously to
his village, lamenting his expenditure
on the turtles and resolving not to try
any further experiments in navigation
