Still thick volumes of amoks were issuing from the building aud it was evident that a tire was gettiug good beadwav within. There was a good deal of shout ing apparently to no purpose, but some ot tbe young men who were down to meet the train, knew that Lew Zigler was asleep io that building and unless aroused would be burned.

They had travelled the lerg ti of the Willamette, stopping to took at the country along the way, but when the "prairie schooner" reached point that revealed Coles Valley to their view Mrs. hmmett said, We will look no further."

Whitney L. Boise came in Irom tbe Olalla miues on Saturday oo bia way to his home in Portland. He has been out there several days and can talk as en tertainingly of Humes and dams, and ditches, penstocks, and placers and con glomerates, and colors aud rich, as a veteran miner, lie reports that there are loO men at work on the preliminary work in getting ready tor the waters of the wet season. By tbe Urst of October tbe four aud a balf miles ot ditch will be completed, four feet wide at tbe bottom and eight feet at the top, with a capacity of 4000 inches. It is expected that tbe water supply for tbe most ot tbe season will Gil tho ditch. A twenty-four inch pipe will carry the water from the pen stock to the "Y" where two 10 inch dis tributing pipes will connect, A niue inch giant will play a stream upon the placer aud when there is full bend of water, 4000 yards per day will be the capacity of ibe works. It is estimated tnat a yard of dirt can be handled for each inch of water in tho race. There is a mountain of tbo conglom erate gravel ou the property, supposed lo be the bed ol some mighty prehistoric river. This shows gold all through und the theory is that the erosiou therefrom has caused tho placers. If this conglom erate is sutliciently rich, a big mill will be put in and the gravel will beiiuarriod, i mined is too small a word). It can be worked aud milled for 70 ceuts per tou.
