A WONDERFUL SroRY.-Says the Journal
de Constantinople:: zone evening last week
two young men of the Isle of Prnkipo were
returning in calque from sporting excursion
on the coast of Asia, when they suddenly heard
a noise for which they could not account, but
soon after they perceived over their heads an
enormous bird, the sight Of which filled them
with alarm: Selling their guns they both fired
at it, and were still more amazed when they
heard broken words and cries which could only
proceed from human organs They at once
steered for the spot where the supposed bird
had fallen, and were struck with stupcfaction
on finding that what they had taken for vol
ate was man with an immense pair of me-
chanical wings. They took him into their
boat, and were not little relieved on finding
that he had only received a few small shot in
the legs. This new Icaris was flying from Au-
tgone to Plat to visit young person whom
he wished to marry, but whose parents were op-
posed to the match. To visit his lady love he
had invented and made the wings he wore, and
had already twice crossed the strait between
the islands. On his third journey his flight was
cut short by this untoward accident. He is
now at Plati."

The Dales Mountaineer estimates the
gold crop from the mines east of the Cas-
cades the present year at $12OOO,O O,OOO-
We are of the opinion that it will come
fully up to this figure by the close of the
mining season. This would be a gain over
last years yield of about S., 600, 900. The
gold crop next year will no doubt nearly, or
quite double that of this year The lack
of water to work with in most of our
diggings has been a serious drawback du
ring the summer, but water bitches have
been constructed in most of the mining
camps recently, and will materially add to
future mining operations. The numerous
quartz lodes in the upper country have
scarcely been touched yet and they will add
hereafter immensely to the amount of gold
extracted from The placer mines. Placer
diggngs are being discovered constantly all
over the country, and we confidently be-
leve that the gold yield Of the Columbia
basin, in the course of five years will ex-
ceed that of the mines Of California The
estimate for the gold and silver yield of
the California mines the present season is
put at S55, 100000 This amount will
be annually diminished hereafter rather
than increased, and we may safely calculate
that the Columbia mines in five years will
turn ont that amount of precious metals.


There is room for at least thirty thousand
laborers in our mines now, and when the
Quartz mills get into active operation, and
the placer diggiDgs come to be thoroughly
opened, with facilities for working them
there will be room for thirty thousand
moro laborers at remunerative wages 1t
is no idle speculation then to predict that
the mines Of the upper Columbia, in the
course of five years; will eclipse those Of
California.

IL seems the idea of changing the old receiv-
ing-ship Ohio into floating battery, to be sta
toned in the harbor to aid in its defense, was
not abandoned; it is stated that she will soon
be ready for that purpose and moored in an
eligible position to be determined upon by the
proper authorities. Fort. Winthrop is heavily
armed but destitute of garrison. This is not
contraband intelligence, for it's matter of
surprise and discussion that troops are not de-
tailed to occupy that important position. 1t is
said, also, that the guns of the other fortflca-
tions are of insufficient strength for complete
protection, and that the Ohio with very
heavy armament is for the purpose of supply
ing the deficiency. Ii this be true, it reveals
culpable and dangerous mismanagements some
