down about twenty feet the walls
of the shaft caved in and bu ried
the man. His companion who was
standing on a curbing, was thrown
into the hole, but managed to keep
on top of the dirt. The man at
the bottom was covered up to his
arm pits and did some lusty yell
ing for assistance. The companion,
as soon as he could recover from
his surprise, scrambled to the top
and went for assistance. Some
other prospectors came up and
Gallaher was soon released from
his uncomfortable position, He
was in no way injured and immedi-
ately went to work repairing the
shaft.

SOMETHING NEW IN THIS.
The Petroleum Wagon within Reach of
Many People.

xne Eetfoieum WNEoA WlthuA Nctatn VI
Many People.
The practicability of these carriages
seems to be placed beyond doubt.
Since 1892 they have been growing in
favor in France and the only wonder is
that we have not seen them over here
before now. The future, says the Lon
don Saturday Review, would appear to
belong TO them, if all be true, and we
hardly doubt the bona fides. They are
as easily worked as tricycle-prob-
ably easier. A novice, as many wit
ness, is able on the first trial to drive his
carriage over 200 miles in two days-of ten
hours each. Tourists have wandered
over half a dozen departments in them,
and the taste is spreading every day.
Soon the enthusiasm will reach Eng
land, and then-well, it is difficult to
say what will happen then.
For, among the great advantages of
the petroleum carriage, is its remark
able cheapness. The cost of a carriage
is not much in the first instance. They
are built, as we have said, with touch
ing fidelity to old forms. There is the
dog cart, the wagonette, the phaeton,
the "brealS" and the 'mylord," as our
French friends have it. From a purely
lay contemplation of these vehicles,
we are not disposed to think that
finality has been reached in regard to
their shape.
When the first railway carriages
were constructed, either out of loving
conservatism or from desre not to
offend, they were built upon the lines
of the stage coach and colored to
match. In time they achieved their
own independence and Individuality
NM Panhard and Levassor will
probably find time and experience
ripen their invention in this respect.
At present a voiture deux places
costs e16s; a voiture a quatre places,
forme dogcart, costs e2O0; the phaeton,
e212 and, naturally the ''mylordn
heads the price list at e240. These
cannot be reckoned extravagant prices.
And when you have once purchased a
voiture to your taste the saving seems
| amazing.
| . 70 begin with, two horses can be dis
| carded; and horses, we believe, are
| roughly estimated to cost e25 or $50 a
year apiece to keep. A purchaser of a
| petroleum carriage reckons that it
costs him from 1.50f TO Of a
| day. The manufacturers reckoning
is As per kilometer for o two-seated
carriage, and cents for four-seated
carriage; let us say ON an average some
/ thing between halfpenny and three
farthings mile.
Compare this with the expense OF
horses. let us say cab horse costs
some 936, and is available for three
years; that constitutes yearly charge
! of R12 Adduto this Eos for food aud
! keeping and we get total Of e37. The
initial outlay on the vehicle may be
ignored, as we are also ignoring the
initial cost of voiture. A horse, year
in and year out, would hardly do more
than Is miles day. Out of these fig
ures, which are, of course, rough, one
may deduct something like twopence q
mile as the cost of horse carriage
j The advantage is in favor of the petro
leum carriage by three to one.

Horses il Belgium.

Mr.. Paulo Moens, who left Pend
Teton on September 13 with q car
load of fine horses destined for
Belgium, arrived in New York
without trouble or loss on
Sunday last, says the Tribune. He
expects to sail for Antwerp the
early part of the week. The ship
ment Of horses, 21 in number, from
New York to Belgium will cost
$400, and feed will cost $50 more.
The shipment from Pendleton to
New York cost $400. The total
cost is therefore, $500, and yet in
the face of this. seemingly enor-
nous expense, Mr.. Moens expects
to realize d handsome profit from
the sale of the animals. In Bel
GUM, good horses bring from $125
to 5000 each, and Mr.. Moens thinks
he will be able to sell his fine stock
for about $3.50 each. Even if he
should not be able to obtain a high
er price than $125 per horse, his
total receipts will be $1625, which
means q clear profit of 1886 owe.

is 1T ALMA MILLER.
Possibly the Bones of Child Buried
There in the Sixties.

1t now comes to light that, near
the spot where the skull, jawbone
and teeth of child have been
found, presumably belonging to
Alma Gladys Miller, a child was
buried by emigrants away back in
the sixties, according to the La
Grande Chronicle. 1t is also known
that about two years ago an
Indian baby was eaten by a bear
just on top of the hill, close to the
foot of which these bones have been
found. 1t may be possible that
animals have dug up the bones of
the child buried near where the
skull was found. Yet again it
Ilnay be possible that the skull Of
the Indian babe has been forced
down the hill by melting snow or
driving rains. The doctors claim,
however, that they can easily dis
tinguish an Indian skull from that
of q white person, and they main
tain that the skull now in their
possession is that Of white child;
alsolt that the teeth are those of a
white child just turning to matur-
ity.
tits hardly probable that the
skull found could be that of the
child buried there by the emigrants.
The time has been so long that it
would have been decayed ere this
under ordinary circumstances, but
possibly, like many other strange
things, the skull has been preserv-
ed and may now prove to be that
of the emigrant child. There is an
old gentleman in the valley who
was present when the child was
buried. and claims that he can
point out the exact spot. When
he can arrange matters he will go
with Mr.. Miller to the place and the
grave will be opened to make an
investigation. If the remains Of
the child are found, the skull now
in the possession Of the doctors is
undoubtedly that Of the lost Alma
Miller, and a mighty load will he
lifted from the heavily burdened
hearts of the father and mother
who have suffered deeply and sill
emily over the sad and mysterious
disappearance of their lost darling.
1t is earnestly hoped that the search
next Sunday willreveal the identity
Of the bones already found beyond
/ doubt. In the name ofa broken
hearted father and mother the good
people of Union county are earnest
ly requested to turn out and assist
| in the search.

A Peculiar Case.

Mr.. Morgan, who was bitten on
the hand by an Indian who was
caught in the act of stealing q hog
from his premises one night about
two weeks ago, is suffering from
blood poisoning, says the Ellens-
burg, WASH Register. On Tues
day one finger was amputated, and
it is feared that he may yet lose
his hand. The Indian has not yet
beer apprehended, and as positive
identification is impossible it is
quite probable that he will 60 un.
punished for the double crime ol
robbery and mayhem.

Shot The Horse

Amil Schubert and Ed. Broadley
returned Saturday from a recrea-
ton trip to Wallowa Lake. SCom-
ing through the mountains, they
observed bear tracks, and leaving
the team they proceeded to hunt
him in his native fastness. Nc
bear was discovered, however and
they returned to the road where
the team stood. Young Broadley
had a winchester in his hands
which in some manner went off
the bullet striking one ofthe horses
and inficting a wound that nee.
issitated the killing of the animal
which was a favorite with the
Schubert family.

THE MINE TROUBLES.
The Frisco Mine Will Be Started
E lin


Up at Mullen, Idaho, mine own
ers have been having trouble with
the miners union, and for a time
matters took on such a serious as
pect that Gov, Mcconnell tele-
graphed for the militia to be held
in readiness. The excitement has
died out somewhat and the Frisco
mine will start up.
1t is understood that arrange
ments are being made to start the
mine at $3 and $3.50 a day.
John Eklund, the machinist from
Montana, who was assaulted at Gem
Sunday night and ordered to leave
Canyon creek, says the members
of the union have come to him and
said if he would return to Gem
the; would fix it up, as the best
element Of the union deplored the
act. which was committed by
toughs. He declined to go. AT
Mullen and Gem everything is rum
ming smoothly.

Misery Their Portion,

The negro colony in the state of Du-
range, Mexico, has proved O cruel
failure. The black men were brought
from Alabama and Georgia ostensiblv
for farm labor. They found them
selves herded in cabins under rife
guard, overworled and maltreated.
Fever has carried off half their mum.
ber 1t is no wonder that they are said
to be hard to control. The report that
the remnant is to be sent home may be
true, but the matter would seem to af-
ford proper field of investigation for
the government.
