There is only one connection be tween the shafts, and the men in the mine are below this point Strenuous and he- roic efforts hae been made to reach the men, some risking their lives in the at tempt It has been impossible to com municate with the men. There is no hope dow, and it is believed all have perished. The fire started at 6.-3- this morning, no doubt through the carelessness of some miner leaving a candle too close to the timber. There were only 10 men in the mine, and John Kramer, the pump man, alone escaped, being badly burned.

At the suhtreasury 2,000,000 in treas- ury of notes were deposited 9gainst tbe with-draw- al of an equal amount of gold. Of these notes $500,000 were, treasury notes tbe remainder gold cenifica ea and United States Lotes.

Winter still lingers in the Grand Ronde valley, and tbis is from tbe La Grande Ga of yesterday: "Snow fed in this city the deptb ot tonr incnea weanesaay night, . and at Kamela about two feet of 'the beautiful' ornamented the landscape. was reporter who started out to ascertain the see opinion of the 'oldest inhabitant' on this at unexpected freak of the weather, failed to this e individual; and the sup- position is that be has housed himself in of another winter." Astorian: The body of A. Farland, who met with such a sudden death on Wednes Bight at Fort Canby, was brought over this city yesterday on the steamer La and Camas, and taken to the undertaking par-lq-rs of Mr. Kuykendall. Much sympathy telt and ei pressed for the wife and chil- dren the left destitute by the terrible affair. Speaking of the deceased. Captain Scott Johnson said yesterday tbat he was one of or most industrious men he ever bad in bit employ, and always obliging and willing. Condon Globe: The Roslyn bank robbers S. were betrayed by a girl, the sister in-l.- of a man at whose home in Coulee City the conspiracy was batched. Ray Christiansen bia name, the woman's being Miss Sarah Jane Morgan, a beautiful young lady 20 years of age, wbo Uvea in Salt Lake. She betrayed the robbers through revenge. She now in jail at Elleoeburgb, being held as witness against the robbers. Tom and Bill McCarty, the leaden of the gang, have on oot been captured yet. Among those ar- rested on is Philo Summers, formerly of this I Highest of all in Leavening ID, ABSOUUTECT PURE piace. rioweyer, tne young lady says Summers has nothing to do with it, and is innocent of the charge. Seattle is in the throes of a mining excite' ment, workmen on a sewer tunnel having struck what is said to be pay silver ore Tbe oie is said to be identical with that of the Ophir mine, in the Com9tock district. The property above and around the tunnel includes some of the mast valuable residence property in the citv. Quite a number ot mining claims have been tiled upon. An experienced miner who has examined the find does not think it ia a true fissure vein. out only a noat, and tbat tne true vein is h gher up the hill. Lewiston Teller: A shocking accident oc curred at Asotin Tuesdav morning. The little 2 year-ol- d son of J. S. Boyer while playing, fell backwards into a washboiler of scalding hot water and was so injured that be died before night. The child was play-wi- th its grandfather and was backing away from him and fell into the water. He was taken out, but the beat bad been fatal and the iittle sufferer could not recover. The accident is a sad one, and its sidnesj is in- creased when we learn that about a year ago the same family lost another child in a similar manner. A circular has been received from the ex ecutive committee of the San Francisco un employed workingmen warning all persons not to be deceived by false repot ts and ad vertisementa to the effect'that there is a de mand for workingmen in that citv. The circular say: "Do not be decived by false reports. The citv of Sin Fraocipco crowded with idle men. There are thous ands of us tramping the streets hungry, hopeless and destitute. r or Gods sake keep away from this city. Advertisements for laborers, sailors or mechanics are false Place no faith in them. There are ten men here for eyery job now." McMinnville Reguter: Thuralay morning Sheriff Warren went to North Yamhill to serye an attachment on the Farmers' and Traders' bank and found that C A. Mar- tine, the chashier,- owner, etc., bad left for parts unknown during the night, lc was ascertained that be had been driven to Forest Grove, where he took the early morning train for Portland. From there he went north on the Northern Pacific and his hereabouts are unknown. He is probab'y tslkirg about the gullible people of Yamhill with iSaldrieh and Keeves in Kansas (Jity. The sheriff entered the bank and not a cent of money could be found. The books show that about $6000 was on deposit when the bai.k closed. Some of thia has been paid, but it is impossible to fiod the amount of payments. The Commercial bank, of Port land, was garnisheed and answered that the hank held $12,266 70 in notes given to tbe North Yamhill bank, as collateral to secure loan of $13,281.1. We understand that some of tbe givers of these notes hold Mar tine s receipts of their payment, he not re- mitting to the Portland bauk when the notes were paid. These notes will have to be paid oyer again. ' The total loss will be $6000 or over.and it looks as if Martine was just the amount of loss ahead. From Monday's Daily. Mr. D L. Cites, of Cttcade Licks, is in tbe city. Hon. C. M. Cartright, of Crook county. drove iu town to day. Mr. HolIU Johnson passed through the citv yesterday to Portland from Wallace, Idaho. Yesterday was a most delightful day in this city. Xhe sun was seen iu Portland, the first time for many months. Mr. Man Maloney, city marshal, is con joined to his residence by illness. During hia sickness Mr. Paoe watnhpa over thn peace aod order of the citv. The funeral of Mr. Emory Campbell was largely attended yesterday afternoon, and very many triende of the deceased mani- fested their respects to the remains. There were two carloads of cattle shipped from R. E. Saltmarshe & Go's stockyards yesterday for Port Towcsend, Wash., for meat market of Mr. Chas. Butler. County court convenes in thia city for it law business next Monday; the next day will be devoted to probate business, and Wednesday to the commissioners court. The following residents of The Dalles to spent yesterday in Portland: Messrs. Max Vogt and John Hampshire, and Mis.es Cas- sia Wiley, Daisy Hampshire and Rose or Michell. The stages between here and The Dalles, Prineville, Mitchell and Fossil, says the Antelope Herald, are now running to suit patrons of the various lines better than they ever did before. Antelope is better supplied with stage lines than any other in land town in the state. Saturday afternoon a washout occurred the railroad near tbe uescuutea river. Ninety feet of track was washed out and bents of a bridge. This delayed tbe west-boun- d train several hours, aod the one in this city yesterday at 3 a. m. did not arrive until 9 o'clock. Antelope Herald: Sheep shearers from nearly all parts of the union are here await- ing the advent of spring. Everyone of them seems to have an old grudge at the sheep and aay they will rob tbe poor brutes the last fleece of wool on their barks. There seems to be no law to prohibit tbis. Crickets are appearing ou tbe Warm Springs reservations, and it ia feared tbat they will destroy tbe growing gram aa tn y tor three years past. The Indiana are becoming discouraged in their efforts at farming, and if their crops are destroyed year trrey will have little ambition to plow and plant another season. The loss of the small fruit crop in the Palouse country is estimated to be not less than $125,000. What effect this may bave upon the market iu tbat state is not quite clear, but it will no doubt greatly increase demand on ' other fruit growers, aod create correspondingly higher prices. This encouraging to horticulturists there, but gloomy- - outlook to despondent buyers. There are several panthers in tbe Haynes slough country, and parents are afraid to send their children to school, especially when the little ones have to go through the timber. Some of tbe residents believe that Andrew Hansen's boy, who disappeared some weeks since from bia home. on Wil-lanc- h slough was earned off by a panther. No traces of the child have yet been found. Hon. J. C. Luckey was a passenger on train to Hood River yesterday. His object to examine the islands in the river, and for what desecrations bad been made of the Indians buried on them. He was informed tbe Warm Springs that frequently the bones had been carried away by curio hun- ters, and tbe Indians make great complaints this sacrilege on the part ot the whites. Arlington Record: Lieut.-Co- l. Thompson, Captain Weils and Adjutant Collins com. prised the board for the . examination of Captain Henry, of La Grande, for major Private Staggs, of Weston, for second lieutenant. Both gentlemen failed to pass examination, aod Adjutant Collins says that officers will be from tbis on required to know something military in order to obtain hold a commission. The state asylum for insane at Salem Sat- urday received two recruits from Malheur county. They were James P. Grimes and W. Green, one of Westfall and the other native of Iowa Grimes is aged about 70 and Green about 36 and both are laborers. Green imagines he is under a spell of mes- merism by certain parties, while the old man imagines he baa an immense sack of water on bis abdomen. Mr. Wml Thompson, wbo was for many years in tbe U. S. navy and for a long time tbe old Constitution, wu quartermaster the battle-shi-p Ohio, during tbe Mexican war. wnen Aamirai unerarai was a mia- - Power. Latest U. S. Gov't Report 'hipman on the same vessel. The old gen tleman has still a viyid recollection of vscenes during this exciting period of our history, aod anxiously desires to witness the naval review at Fortress Monroe. iapc. onermao, oi tne regulator, made a trip to Hood River yesterday. He went down for the purpose of locating a wharf on tne Washington side opposite that town, and chose tbe site near Mr. Kankin s rest dence. A good road down the mountain has been graded by Mr. Ezan and Mr. Ran kin for tbe purpose of furnishing an avail able way to bring produce to the boat land ing, and the wharf will be constructed im mediately. A petition is being circulated in Lincoln and Benton asking for the pardon of Henry Miller, wbo was sentenced to tbe peniten tiary for life in 1888 from Benton county lor murder in tbe second degree. Miller was only 16 years old when sentenced, and bis unfortunate deed was the result of es- pousing bis brother's quarrel. He has been a model prisoner, but his health is broken, and unless clemency is extended soon it will be too late. P. J. White was examined Friday before Justice Davis for burglary and held to the grand jury in tbe sum of S500. On Satur day he was before Justice Schutz for lar ceny of blankets, overcoat, suit of clothes and looking glass in the New Columbia Ho tel, and was placed under bail of $250. It seems the fellow occupied a room iu the ho- tel one night, and the next day decamped with everything he could lay his hands on. Such lodgers are not desirable. The rate war between the Southern Pa- cific and the North American Naviga'ion Company, which is running line of ships between San Francisco and New York, via. Panama, will be of beueGt to wool producers on this coist, aod ought to raise the price of wool at least a quarter of a cent, since the freight charges between those points have been reduced tbat amount. The rates now on greased wool are 75 cen's pel hun- dred pounds, with pro-pact-s of further re- ductions. Jesse and ! Winkle, aged 12 an J 13 years, respectively, are in jtil at Eugene for "swiDiug" a row boat. The boat cap sized and Sink, but the biys swim to laud After a time, according to their own story, they fouud that they bad been wreckei oa au island. They starved out on the lsl md and had to swim across to the main land and return to town to get something to eat. They hadn't been back iu Eugene very long before an officer arrested them, aod Justice Kinsey sentenced them to 30 days each in the county jail. Albany Herald: Friday afternoon as two men were repairing part of the lower end of the log shute at Mr. John Leedy'a sawmill, two and a fourth miles south of Minto, on the Noith Santiam, a log got away from the men at the upper end of the shute and cams tearing down upon them. One of the men jumped for his life, leaping into the creek 25 feet below. The other insn, W, R. Swink, was unable to get out oi the way, and the log struck him taking off his left leg at the ankle, breaking his noae and giv- ing him other bruises. His wounds are not considered fatal, and hi was promptly, tend r y and carefully attendod. Biker City Democrat: Those who uiaun to be able to foretell the weather seem to bave lost the combination on April. Aa cording to their predictions we should be enjoying "a little ray ot suusiune, but ia lieu thereof the clerk is dispensing a variety of weather which is delaying plowing and seeding throughout the country. Io tact the fruit trees are back their leaves and blossoms aud witb frequent frosts there is a fear that the crop will be materially re- duced if not cut shoit in all quarters. But those who have made observations give the L information that up to the present time the frosts have done no material damage, for tbe reason tbat the buds are not vet far enough advanced to have been nipped. Localizer: Many large orchards are beiog set out io Kittitas county this spring. In some parts of thetate the Italian prune ia giveo tbe preference over all other kiuds of prunes. Its large-siz- e and prolificoess gives tbe lead in that line of fruit. In par- - chasing trees it would be well to keep a sharp lookout for the Sin Joe scale. It will be remembered tbey adhere very closely the tree, and can be noticed only by close scrutiny. A great many of the nurseries in Oregon and this state bave them in greater . less numbers. If one becomes accus tomed to seeing them they oan be seen readily. It woold be well for every one setting out an orchard to learn at once what they look like so that they may recognize at hem at a glance. An ounce of preven tion &c. During tbe p'st week'civiLengineen have been running lines from the rapids of the Umatilla river, one mile above' Umatilla Junction, to the old gold fields along the shore of the Columbia three mile west. Tbey were quite reticent regarding the na- ture of their business, and it was generally conceded that tbey were workiogon an ir- rigation scheme. It is now rumored, bow-ev- er, that they were working in the inter- ests of the company lately formed at Pen- dleton for the purpose ot making a thorough investigation into the condition of tbe old placer diggings, and, if possible, for devis- ing some means of procuring tine gold. The 79 rapids of the Umatilla will afford ao excel- lent water power for hydraulic mining. Fifteen Chinamen are now working the old 6ed with the common "cradle" process. Quite a number of claims have been staked out by whitemen. of From Tuesday's Daily. The street sprinkler may be of some aer-yic- a Mr. Frank Menefee, city recorder, left on tbe train this morning for Portland. Dr. and Mrs. Eshelman returned from Centerville, Wash., yesterday afternoon. George, the son of Hon. and Mrs. E. N. Chandler, who baa been quite siok for sev- eral days past, is very much improved. The Columbia was somewhat agitated to- day, and the angry wayes abowed their teeth all over the broad surface of the stream. The Atlantic Express last night had on board 100 boxes of salmon. This is good business for tbe Pacific Express Co. of A. this city. There were a few passengers on the east-bonn- d train y for Chicago; but all until rales are reduced very few will leave tbe world's fair. Mr. Jack Stanials is improving the cis- tern in the East End The covering has been newly planked, and the roadway has been given a solid foundation of rock. The annual pionio oi tbe Oesang Verein Harmonic will take place May 14th at Mosier's grove. On that occasion the Regu- lator will make several trips to and from the grounds. A man by the name of Bnrt was arrested yesterday by U. S. Deputy Marshal Jame- son for selling liquor to Indians. He was examined before tbe U. S. commissioner and will be taken to Portland the last of tbe week. Last Sunday the Umatilla river at Pen- dleton threatened to overflow the levee and do great damage to toe oity. Parts of the lower city were under water, bat aside from one or two submerged sidewalks no loss was suffered. The street commissioner wants all alleys be and by-wa-y cleaned of rubbish. Tbis it necessary for sanitary purposes, and cities should take every precaution to prevent the spread of disease this summer, aa a visit from the cholera ia apprehended. The members of tbe Winquatt Chatau-qua- n cirole met at the residence of Mrs. C J. Crandall last evening. Those present were Mesdames Shackleford, Brooks, Cran- dall, Miss Mary Frazier and H. H. Riddell. The time was spent in criticism of Grecian sculpture and quotations from the Iliad. The Badger school house near Fossil caught fire in the roof last Thursday after- noon, and threatened the destruction of tb building; but the scholar mounted the roof and by mean ot bucket of water put qpt the flame. A hole was burned in th roof; but tbe damage is very inconsiderable. Saturday afternoon a cloud burst oc curred in Sherman county, and the Ful- ton and Biggs canyons ran full of water for a short time. All bridges were washed away, and the roads in these places are impassible. It was the most disastrous water spout ever experienced in that region. While Mrs. Frank Beason was hauling a mall load oi wood home from the timber last Friday, says tb Fossil Journal, her team balked, and for two hour the pluoky woman reasoned with tbe refractory ani mals, until they concluded to accept rhe logic if the would compromise bv throwing off most of the wood, w hich she did and re- turned home. It is hard woik for a woman. Heppner Gazette: Georgu MrCrt v. who is charged with being one of the band who robbed tbe Roslyn bank, i well known by many people in Heppner. Years ago he married a respectable young ladv in South ern Oregon, relatives of whom reside in thia vicinity. Afterwards tba couple were di- vorced. It is thought by soma her that George McCarty was not oonueoted with the robbery.though his brother may be. In fact. George claims that he can establish an alibi. The last issue of the Vancouver Register contains tbe following: "The many friends of Mr. George P. Sear are very much con- cerned about his continued absence from the citv. He left here Maroh 24th. was at the St. Charles hotel in Portland for three days, and took passage bv iteamor for San Francisco, since which time nothing ha beeivheard of him. Mr. Sear left claim against his cigar store amouotwg to $580. He is about 62 years of age, and for a num- ber of years was city trea orer." Eugene Guard: Chas. A. Tanner, the school clerk, who wa bouud oyer in the sum of $500 at Florence a few day since to await the action of the grand jury for ap propriating the sum of $Jo 4S school money to his own use, was brought here hy Deputy Constable G. W. Craven, of Florence, Sat urday night, and turned over to Sheriff No-lan- d for safe keeping. Not being able to furnish the required b)nds he W4 placed in the county jail. Mr. Tanner has a wife and four children who arc in destitute Fossil Journal: Mr. L G. Edelman brought 200 ynunj uuttouwood trees to towu Thuisdiy afternoon and within a couple of h ur had exchanged tbem foa $20. The same evening the tree were all planted around the busmen portioi of towu. The new ditch will slake their thirst during the summer months, and io a very few years our streets will be lined with even finer shade trees than the tall poplars now scattered here and there around the town. At present the ' marshal stands guard over the trees, and will have his hands full until they are boxed up or a cow ordinance is passed. N Interested person are now anxiously waiting to learn what project wai recom- mended by the board of engineers, who met in New York some mouths ago, says the Orrgonian, for the surmounting ot tho obstructions to navigation at tbe dalles of the Columbia. Their report was sent in to the chief of engineers some time ago, and it should in the natural order of things be made public soon. The pro- ject recommended is not known, but it is understood that whetber it was a boat rsilwsy or a canal, the site selected was on the Oregon side of the river. Most of the delegates to the correress which convened in Ogdco, Utah, to day, left Portland Sunday, but a few got away on thn day previous, aud con. tist of the following o business and puhlio men of the state: G O Holman, U F Gullixson, R W Mitohell, H C Em- mons, of Portland; Brigadier-Genera- l HB Compsbn, of Lake county; George E Cham- berlain, attorney-genera- l, of Linn county; W Easterbrooke, of Columbia county; Frank A Bower, of Huntington; J H Par- ker, G B Moulton, of Baker City; Whitney Boise, L M Cox aod W L Dudley, th last three gentlemen representing the Port- land chamber of commerce. Captain Geo. H. Moffett, who is at Paso Robles, reouper-tin- g in health, will not be able to attend. Banks Defrauded, A bank each at Arlington, Heppner, La Grande, Island City, Union, Baker City and Boise ha been worked by an alleged commercial traveler. Eaoh of th bank had reoeiyed a letter from C A. Dal ton ft Co., a supposed produce and commission firm ot San Francisco and Portland, to tht effect that they bad enclosed to their travel- ing man a check for $85 and alto euoloainp the traveling man's signature. Tb check being for such small amounts, the cashier each bank felt no suspicion, and th traveling man' signature of endorsement being all right, hi check were cashed without inquiring into the standing of th firm. Investigation, however, showed tba firm of C. A. Dalton Co. to be an imaginary establishment and the check worthies, but the traveling man had de- parted before the discovery was made. Death of a Pioneer Lady. Mr. Catherine Wigle, died about noon at the residence of her daughter, Mr. W, H. Taylor, in this city, aged about year. She crossed the plain with ber husband in 1852 and settled in Linn county, where tbe remain will be taken morning for burial. For many year she lived in the Willamette valley, but recently removed to Eastern Oregon to have th care a daughter naming during her last day. Her death was caused by old age, although he bad been in poor health from heart trouble fur some time. Her husband ha ' been dead foi about thirty year, and was buried at Halsey, Linn county. She leave three sons and one daughter Wm. Wigle, Jacob Wigle, D. C. Wigle and Mr. W. H. Taylor. Mrs. Wigle was a Christian, and lived an exemplary character, loved by ber children and respected by all, W. E. 0. Entertainment Saturday evening tb W. R.
