THE GREATEST COUNTRY IN
THE WORLD.

A well known mining expert recently
read paper at meeting of mining men
in Portland in which he claimed that we
have in Oregon all the minerals known
to science except Il few of the most rare,
Of which, SO far no evidence has been
found. There is gold, silver, nickel,
cinnabar, iron, lead, copper, and etc, on
to the end OF the list. To the metals
may be added marble, freestone, lime,
asbestos, roofing slate, fine clay, paint
clay. cement and 80 on also to the end.
We have four distinct Coeur d, Alenes in
tine Cascade Range between Portland
aud Cottage Grove all tributary to Port
land and which would make her nearly
a. large as San Francisco in five years if
tile mines OF Clackamas, Santiam Blue
River and Bohemia were fully developed
and thoroughly worked. We have nine
different varieties of marble in Oregon
from pure white to jet black which in
beauty and purity equal anything that
Italy or Belgium ever produced. The
same writer claims that we have the
richest and most extensive nickel mines
yet found in the world. A government
expert has valued the ore at 20 cents
mound, yet the Rothschilds of London
who control the nickel market of the
world send their ships to New Caledonia,
an island u thousand miles beyond Aus
tralia and ship ore to England that pays
only three to five cents pound. AS
regards coal, the writer says: at is the
most marvellous of our mineral wealth
in extent and excellence, unequelled in
the history OF the world. Coos Bay
alone has 400 square miles OF continuous,
uubroken coal beds all of which can be
shipped to market by water. Finally
the writer winds up remarkable
article with the following:
hold that Oregon is as far ahead of
other countries in mineral wealth as she
is in agricultural, timber and other
sources OF natural wealth, that insure
prosperity to community and happi-
ness to the individual. In the face of
the facts l have presented, would it not
therefore be wiser in all of us living by
that wealth to whoop up Oregon, and let
other countries alone to whoop up
themselves?

demand that all nominees for legisla-

troops from Fort Ringold, under Captain
Burke, Third Cavalry, had two skirmishes
last night with Garza's bandits, and were
had but nineteen men, cavalry and infantry.
They were informed that Garza's gang would
attempt to invade Mexico at La Gruella
crossing and started out to prevent it. They
mounted the infantry behind the cavalry
men and followed the bandits trail. Ap-
preaching the camp about midnight they
were challenged by the bandits pickets
and fired on twice. when the United
States troops responded with vol
ley which scattered the bandits.
The troops could not pursue them through
the dense chaparral, so they made their
way to La Gruella crossing, expecting to
meet the bandits again there Not seeing
anything of them. the troops returned to
the scene Of the encounter and ran on
tie bandits again and gave them fight,
dispensing and putting them to flight. The
troops had Corporal Estrom of Troop c,
Third Cavalry, killed, and Lieutenant
Hayes of the Eighteenth Infantry slightly
wounded. The bandits were sixty strong

Fiscal, who will lay down the law, after
which the Judge will give his decision.
The testimony makes 800 pages. 1t
asserts that there is not the slightest evi-
dence of Handwriting or bad treatment by
the police. Seaman Garrett thought. but is
not sure, that policeman stabbed him.
All the Baltimore sailors except Brown,
who appeared to have been perfectly
sober, acknowledged that they had been
drinking The court was kept waiting for EVIL
dence, because Captain Schley said Minister
Egan would procure other witnesses. The
Judge adds: The inquiry Is now complete with
out these witnesses having appeared.
Four of the accused rioters have been held.
Gomez acknowledges stabbing the coal-heaver,
Turnbull, three times In the back. Gomez, how
ever, asserts that he was defending some

LONDON, Dec. 22.-The Telegraph's corre-
spondent at st. Petersburg says there has
been an enormous falling off in tn g Gov
ernmenrsrevenuesf from the famine stricken
provinces. Reports of the merciless re-
preston of outlawry are continually re-
ceived. The civil authorities do no depend
upon themselves alone to put down law
less acts, but upon the merest pretext
summon the military, evidently with the in
tentiUn of Overawing the people. Three
men convicted Of robbery at Simbeersk
were condemned TO undergo punishment
with the knout. The poor wretches who
had probably stolen only to keep alive,
died under the lash. A man detected iu
stealing few tnrnips was sentenced to
penal seTvitude for life.
While the army officers and many So
cieties have given up many of their usual
banquets, etc, devoting the money usually
so snent to the relief OF the famine suffer-
ers, the latters' distress has not touched the
hearts of many of the richest merchants of
St Petersburg. They refuse to subscribe
anything for the relief of their suffer
Ing countrymen. An illustration of the
apathy with which the appeals have been re-
ceived is shown in the fact that the collection
boxes placed about the Corn Exchange
were found when removed to be filled
with bits OF tin and pieces OF paper In numer.

Unique Procession and Burial of a Man
With n Broken Back.
Poor Jim Johnston, whose back was
broken in fall from a Beech Creek Rail-
road hand-car last summer, and who had
lived on in agony until recently, has Just
been buried under peculiar difficulties from
his home near Kylers Mill, Pa.
Undertaken Richard Haworth, who was
engaged by the township overseers to bury
Jim, found that his little home was on the
opposite side of the swollen MoshannOn
Creek, with only the narrowest possible
foot-bridge to reach 1t. Two men could
not walk abreast over this bridge and carry
an end of the coffin between them. S, they
rlgged up harness across the shoulders Of
the single-file bearer at either end, and got
across the bending bridge.
But coming back the additional weight
OF the corpse was too much for the bridge.
SO Undertaken HawOrth fixed a different
harness on himself, and, unaided, dragged
the coffin across the rickety bridge, which
bent down to the waters edge, with the
swift current splashing over it.
Then Jim was buried in the Potter's
field, without clergyman. without
mourner.-Philligsbur special to Phila-
