RAILROAD INQUEST.
The Railroad Commissioners Have Not
Given Their Verdict.

Yesterday afternoon at the conductors
room at the Unionsfation Messrs. Mort
land, Wildes and Chadbourne, the rail
road commissioners, held an inquest into
hesyccident, that took place at, or near,
Kennebunk February 23d on the Boston
& Maine road. 1t will be remembered
that the $50 p. m. train out of Portland
consisted of two locomotives and their
tenders, baggage, mail and express cars
smoker and three passenger cars. Two
and half mile this side of Kennebunk
all but the first locomotive left the irons.
The rear car tipped completely over and
the others partially over. The two
locomotives broke apart The mail
agent had a leg broken, another person
had hand injured and several others
received injuries.
This inquest was public and was held
to ascertain if possible the cause of the
accident. General Superintendent D.
W. Sanborn, Superintendent Merritt of
the division on which the accident oc-
CuIICu AAl dOOuU UWO1ipJ oOSolOh cbAu
train hands were present as witnesses.
At the time of the accident it was re-
ported that the cause was probably due
to the spreading of the rails. The testi-
mony at the inquest satisfied the COM
missioners that the rails did not spread.
They are satisfied from the evidence the
track was in excellent condition. AS
there was snow on the ground and the
accident took place at an hour SO near
night when darkness had set in, and
snow storm followed, the accident may
have been the result of something falling
from the forward engine, or tender, which
could not be seen and caused the tender,
second locomotive and following cars to
leave the miles, The commissioners are
satisfied THAT none of the hanges of the
wheels broke. They will find a verdict
later.

Rumford Falls Notes.

At Rumford Falls there is now being
completed what will be the most perfect
and extensive boom privilege for sorting
and holding logs in the Pine Tree State.
Commencing about half a mile above
the upper dam, % piers have been built
in the Androscoggin river extending up
stream as far as Rumford Center, where
the sorting gap has been located. The
main boom, connecting these piers, .
nearly five miles long and will hold be-
tween 40oO0OOo and 100000 feet of
lumber. To the general public, an idea
of the extent of this work may be given
by the statement that in its construction
about 100000 feet of lumber, 5000
cubic yards of stone and some Is ton of
round iron are required. On an average,
each Of these piers is 30x40 feet and 30
feet high, though more than half the
height is under water. The main boom
and piers will require for their connec-
tions and fastening fully mile and a
half of heavy boom chains.
All told, about Is men and 30 horses
and teams are employed on the work.
The well known river-driving firm of
Bearce 6 Wilson of Lewiston are super
intending the job and Mr.. Wilson is now
at Rumford Falls giving it his personal
attention.
This great work is being done by the
Rumford Falls Power Company but it is
understood that new and distinct cor
poration is now being organized to as
sumo and carry on the undertaking.
in M
piers will be added to strengthen the
main boom and insure it against breaks
during high water.
About 100000 feet of logs will be
held and sorted at this boom ID single
year, and of these nearly one-third will
be held at Rumford Falls and made into
pulp and paper or sawed. A large lum-
Der mill at this point in the near future
is assured.

Chanra of Ownerahip.

The stock of the Escondido Gold Min
ing company has recently passed into
the hands of Los Angeles parties, and
through the efforts of w. W. Thomas,
who also has an interest, the new own
ers have been induced to commence
work on the property. Q
Last Monday evening party OF five
miners arrived in Escondido, proceeded
to the old Mexican mines southeast of
town, and commenced the work of clean
ing out one of the shafts. The party is
in charge of G.. W. Frederick, who is
superintending the work.
1t is stated that the new company has
purchased rs per cent of the stock in
the company which controlled the
mines, and that it has plenty OF money
to prosecute the work. The new own
ers state that after an investigation as
to the work formerly done in the mines
they were satisfied that it would
repay all the expen ses of operation and
leave good profit for the stockholders,
and it was after arriving at these con-
clueions that they decided to commence
work. At present there is no machinery
on the ground, but as soon as the work
progresses far enough to require pumps
and hosting machinery they will be
forthcoming.
The men with Mr.. Frederick are all
practical miners, and all are of the
opinion from indications of the old
works that it had paid good money when
operated, and have no doubt as to the
result of the work they have in hand
paying after they get the mines opened

AN Ore nf,Il Needed,


Riverside Enterprise: In conversa-
tion with one of the owners of the Orc
Fino mine yesterday it was learned that
work on that property is being pushed
right along and that recent prospects
have been such as to encourage the own
ers to redoubled efforts. The question
now confronting them is not the uncov-
ering OF ledge, for this has been satis-
factorily done, but rather the erection of
q mill wherein the ore taken out can be
worked. Up to the present time the
company has been shipping all ore
worked to distant points for reduction,
but as the cost of transportation and
milling is 30 large, the question of the
erection OF mill at or near the mine is
under serious consideration.
The company has not as yet decided
to build mill, but it is thought by
those in position to know that one will
soon be built, either by the mining
company or some outside company
which i'll make business of milling
ore for All the mines located in the dis
trict in which lies the Orc Fino.
A fully equipped mill in the vicinity
of the Oro Fino mine would no dou BIT
prove a paying investment, and with
the erection of one the mines there
would be prospected and worked more
thoroughly and to far better advantage
than lie the case now.
