STATE NEWS.

Commonwealth Journal: Rich
ard s. Wilkie, an employe of this
Office, who is taking a vacation at
his home in Washington county, is
having fine sport in the mountains.
On the 14th OF September, while
quenching his thirst at a spring
located in a dense thicket on the
mountain side, he heard rustling
above him and saw the brush
and high weeds swaying and part
ing as by some large animal max
ing its way through them. directly
toward him. He had hardly time
to bring his gun to his shoulder,
when the ugly looking head of a
black bear showed through the
brush not six feet from the muzzle
of his gun. Its head, fortunately,
was turned q little one side, and
before bruin could turn its eye, a
bullet from truly aimed shot for
the base Of the ear went crashing
through his brain and he fell dead
without struggle or moan almost
at the boys feet. This was quite d
feat for boy. alone in q dense
thicket, on a lonely mountain side.

THE Wood River Times, a gold
bug paper published at Haley,

record as double-barreled, nickel

tional of Chicago and the National
Park bank of New York with a
paid up capital of S., 900, 900, with
out one dollar of circulation, and
In a manner both childlike and
bland announces that that fact
knocks out the peoples party rant
about National banks. The dis
tinguished chuckle-head who edits
the sheet forgets to say that the
citation he makes demonstrates the
truthfulness Of the claim made by
the populists that the banks are in
the scheme to contract the volume

THERE is nothing unexpected or
surprising in Grover Cleveland's
letter of acceptance. He is just as
much of a tool of Wall street as
ever, and plainly shows his hand
on the silver question. The despair
ing hope of some of his local dis
ciples that Grover would say sweet
things about the white metal is
most emphatically squelched by
that corpulent gentleman's simple
declaration that silver is not in it
with his crowd. How any man who
expects to live in these mountains
more than a month can swallow the
Cleveland pill is unknown.

After The Golden Sand.

formed by MI. G. w. Paul of Riv-
erside, the chief enginee of the
Oregon Pacific railroad, Mr.. A. 0.
Eckelson, stopped at his ranch over
night. For some years past, Mr..
Paul has occupied his spare time
in mining with a rocker on the
Snake river bars adjacent to his
place. At the time Of Mr.. Eckel-
sons visit he was so engaged and
together they prospected and talked
of the possibilities of machine
that would save Snake river gold.
The upshot of the matter was that
Mr.. Eckelson informed his host
that he had friend who had been
working on such a machine for
years and that he had unbounded
confidence in his ability to master
the proposition. When he left for
Portland he took with him two hun
dred pounds of gold-carrying sand,
and about two months later Mr..
Paul received an order for several
hundred pounds more. Things re-
manned in this shape until several
months ago, when Mr.. Paul was
again visited by Mr.. Eckelson, who
was accompanied by Mr.. N. L.
Raber, of Corvallis, Oregon. In
a quiet and secret manner they
went to work experimenting with
their machine-not even allowing
Mr.. Paul to witness their work
and after some time they departed.
Last August they again appeared
at the ranch and resumed opera
tons and later were joined by Mr..
L. L. Scott, president of the Port
land Loan s Trust Co., who was
summoned by telegraph. Mr.. Paul
was then taken into the confidence
of the operators and witnessed
test run of the machine. Eight
cubic yards of sand yielded over
$20-and he made a thorough
search of the tailings by panning.
but not a color was found. The
quicksilver process also failed to
to show any gold in the tailings.
The principle of the machine con-
sists in forcing the gold-carrying
sand over silver plate and through
three separate mercury baths, which
amalgamates all the gold. The
main feature of the process lies in
the mercury bath, which being
charged with some secret compound
enables it to amalgamate anything,
even greasy iron, as shown by sew
eral trials by Mr.. Paul. Patents for
the process have been obtained and
a stock company to handle the same
will be organized in Portland soon.
Our informant says that all the
parties that have visited his place
are men of wealth and influence
and have developed this process on
strictly scientific lines. Mr.. Paul
is an old miner and not man given
to enthusing over anything but
what shows results, and he is con-
fident that the gravel beds of old
Snake river will have to give up
their treasures. He shipped ten
tons of sand to Portland to-day,
and the company will make public
exhibition of the process at the
Mechanics Fair in Portland. Out
side of labor the machine can be
operated for ten cents a day, and as
any of the gravel bars will pay from
81 to $40 per day to the man, when
the gold is saved, the magnitude of
the invention is at once apparent
to those who are fully acquainted
with the extent of the Snake river
gold beds.-Caldwell Tribune.

Floods IN Sardinia.

CAGLIARI. Oct. pa most APPALLING
calamity has betallen the village of San
Sperate, situated a short distance from
this city. It is estimated that no less
than 200 of the villagers have been
drowned. The food swept through
the village with sudden fury, and
in moment the streets became rivers
that carried everything before them.
Houses we're lifted from their founda-
tons and whirled through the streets
like corks. Their occupants did not
have any opportunity to attempt to
save themselves. Many Of them were
asleep wnen the torrent came, and they
were awakened only to find themselves
struggling in the water. Men, women
and children were drowned before eff
fort could be made to save them. Half
the houses in the village were swept
away. The place is isolated by the
flood and access to it is difficult.
