THE RUBY GREEK MINES
The New Trail From the skaRit Nearly
Completed

The New Trail From the SkaRit Nearly
Completed
Reporting the return Of Judge Max
well few days ago from the isolated
Ruby Creek mining district, in the
wilds of the Cascades in the south
eastern corner of this county, the
HERALD referred TO the building of a
new trail from the Skagit which will
make the camp much easier Of access
than il now is by the long, circutous
route via Fort Hope, b. &. OF the new
trail and the district in general, Com
missioner Won Presentin, of Skagit
county, says in the Post-Intelligencer
"The Ruby creek trail will be fin
ished in about ten days, as there is only
about five miles at this end to build
and 1t is easy work. The wire bridges
across the Skagit are all built. one
above Sauk, 254 feet long, another at
the mouth of the Cascade, 1S9 feet, and
the third at the mouth OF Ruby creek,
$50 feet. Each wire was carried up by
twelve men In string, each of whom
had 100 pounds coiled around him, and
1t took them seven days to travel twen-
ty miles. III any men want TO go placer
mining they had better stay away
from Ruby, for the whole creek is loca-
ted from one end to the other II they
want to look for free milling quartz
they can do well. Until recently only
two lodges had been located and they
are very rich, but they have now found
some new lodges. All the coarse placer
gold is found attached TO quartz, show
ing that IL comes from lodges. There
is one hydraulic I'm operation there and
two more are on the way up. We are
getting trade from that district now
and it is on the increase every day.
The distance is forty-two miles from
Sauk and thirty'two from Marble
Mount, at the mouth Of the Cascade,
The water in the Skagit Is falling and
navigation on the upper river will
close In about ten days.p

The young lady is accomplished, amia-
bic and in every respect "a charming

A Shortage In Woman

A somewhat alarming discove ry has
been made in the census returns.
There is a shortage in the supply OF
women. These statistics show that
there are SS1, 900 more males than
females in the United States. If value
be regulated by the law of supply and
demand, the value of women must be
enhanced in proportion as the female
population diminishes. Think of L.!
Nearly million less females than
males in this country! What of the
future, If this proportion decreases
from decade to decadeI The thought
is not only disturbing, but rather a
gloomy one for posterity.

CANADIAN PACIFIC WRECK
Passengers From Delayed
Overland Trains Pass the
Night Here
No New Cases of Smallpox--All
the Former Sufferers
Convalescent
Quarantine Precautions Still In
Force---No Trains From
Vancouver

The delayed overland train of the
Conadian Pacific railroad came in
eight hours late last night, bringing
the passengers of the train wrecked
Saturday evening at 8 o'clock, five
miles west of SicamOus. There were
ninety-eight passengers from the two
trains, and as the Great Northern
officials were not inclined to hold their
train for Seattle, the passengers were
obliged to find accommodations in the
Bay cities for the night and will go to
Seattle on the Premier this morning
or wait for the Great Northern train
this afternoon. The sleeper which
should have gone into Vancouver was
brought into New Whatcom and will
return on today's train, with the tour
list car, which came i'm on the same
train.
From passenger on the delayed
train, who was in the wreck, the facts
of the accident were ascertained. The
rails spread on a curve, after the engine
and tender had passed over, and the
-four cars Immediately following were
rolled down the embankment. The
two sleepers, on the rear, did not leave
the track and although the wrecked cars
were well filled with passengers none
were seriously injured. The train was
late and running very rapidly to make
up lost time, and that there were not
large number of persons killed or in
iured is "A miracle, Wrecking crews
were at once sent to the scene of the ac-
cident and worked from the time of
their arrival until 3 o'clock Monday
morning before the track was made
passable for the next train.
The train containing the Raymond
and Whitcomb party was at Banff
when last nights train passed there,
so was not in any way concerned i'm
the wreck. The excuTsionists are COM
fortably lodged at the hotel and will
remain there until the steamer Queen
is prepared to take them directly on
board and proceed to Alaska.

Mileage Of Great Northern Freight

A statement was recently published
showing that the average length Of
haul per ton on the Great Northern
road had risen from 2l4 mile in 1889
and 232 miles in 1890 to 270 miles in
1891. 1t is stated to sbe even greater
thus far this year. The average for 1891
is only sixteen miles less than that of
the Northern Pacific for the same year,
while the mileage operated by both is
practically the same, and the Northern
Pacific had all its transcontinental busi-
ness included. The conclusion reached
YVES that the Great Northern had in
creased its average haul by largely in
creasing the amout of the traffic carried
to the end Of its operated mileage in
Montana

trade, the II. /. Morse, leaves today on
her maiden trip. She takes lines,
dories and all tackle from here, and
will stop at Waldron's island for bait
and then proceed to Port Townsend,
where she will register and clear for the

caught will be sold to the steam
schooners which pick up the catch
of the fishing boats, or taken
into Seattle and Tacoma where they
will be sold directly to the large com
panies engaged in sailing and "urng
them. This new boat is the firs, OF its
class ever built in this city and her sue
cess will be watched with considerable

portions.

Northern Pacific EarninRs Grow

The New York Journal Of Finance
says: Friends Of the Northern Pacific
are much encouraged by the showing
now being made by the road. The
Northern Pacific earnings for June
showed a gain Of S6S,657, or about 81
per cent. as compared with last year,
and the Wisconsin Central earnings in
creased SSS ,456, or about 20 per cent.
These increases are an indication that
the long-awaited revival Of business
along the lines Of the road has again
come.

4 Fountain of Usefulness.

We have used one of the Franklin fountain pens now being introduced by S. c. Northrop John street. long enough to discover that it IS the best thing of the sort we have ever met It Is very simple and so not likely to get out and sure, requires no urging and is always ready. Northrop has them, with various styles of pens to suit the fancy of the user and they can be bought now for $l less than the first price, to introduce them. They run from $2 50 to 8 90 according to the style of price for starter. This pen is new inven. tion, patent bearing date Feb. .25, 1892. and thus It Is the latest thing out and, we think, the best-l Bridgeport Standard.
