WTILLAMETTE FARMER Bffl. The Emma Mine Again. We have received (torn London a copy of the directors report on toe famous tnma mine, in TJtab, which presents a very gloomy pros pect for the shareholders ever getting their money back, although suit bas been com menced against the vendors. In their report the directors say: 'Shareholders are aware that the mine was seized under attachment by Park at the time the action against him and others was taken, and that it bas ever since remained vested in tbe United States marshal (sheriff); conse quently the directors are nnable to report as to any explorations, and have no reason to sup pose that any discovery of ore would have been made bad such explorations been nndertaken; on the contraiy, very voluminous reports from independent sources induce them to believe that tbe mine itself is, and has long been, ut terly exhausted. Tbe only available source of income that could have accrued to the com pany, and that only to a very limited extent, would have arisen Irora tbe concentration of the "fillings" or low grade ore left from former workings. Advices recently to band state that Mr. Park under his attachment had sold the personal property of the company i. ., tbo whole of the machinery, plant, timber on sur face, the ore sacks, office furniture, oto. We have sent out instructions to pay off the Salt Lake establishment, and measures are in pro gress for a further reduction of expenses at the London office by tho retirement of the secre tary, etc. Mr. Attwood, the general manager, bas returned from America; he will be present at the meeting; bis report accompanies this. The case againBt the vendors is being vigor ously proceeded with, and evidence has been collected in this country from the officers of the company, the promoters,solicitors, trustees, stock brokers, ore brokers, accountants, bank ers, all the English original directors, and the American ambassador; testimony hus also been taken at Salt Lake City by commission. The result of the evidence has, in the opinion of the company's legal advisers, tended to strengthen tbe claim of the company againBt the vendors, and the causes are already set down for trial in the United States circuit court. Facts have also come through the late com mission in England to the knowledge of the board wbioh have induced ns, under the advice of our solicitor, to apply for the restitution of moneys received by certain of the original di rectors. Tho solicitor has prepared a report upon the commission, which report, and the opinion of counsel thereon, will be in our hands to bo dealt with as the forthcoming meet ing may determine. The diroctors have no de uire to romain in office, and will resign their seats at the meeting on November lutn." The report of tho manager, Mr. George Attwood, is also discouraging, as were his previous reports. He tolls in detail how he ox tended his drifts, etc., without finding any ore. He says: "The fillings and scrapings still re maining in the mine are not yet all worked out, but it is almost impossible to form an accurate opinion upon either the quantity or quality of the same. Taking a rough estimate, I should think you havo about 4,000 tons in the mine of poor waste, etc., that should yield by concen tration 350 tons of ore, assaying thirty-five r er cont lead, and seventeen ounces of Bilver lo the ton of 2,000 pounds. Estimated gross value, $30,000. Second class dump: There is still remaining on tbe " dump " about 100 tons of the " original dump," and about 1C0 tons that has been mined umior my management. Esti mated gross value, $3,200. Condition of mine : Tbo present conoition of the mine is a most deplorable one. The water havingrisen within fifty foet of level No. 1, and remaining there a greater part ot tho summer, it has now receded to about twenty feet abovo level No. 4. The result is that the timbers have given way in all directions, and even tho engine Hhaft cannot be considered safe to work in. It will now be a most difficult as well as a dangerous and expen sive piece of work to mine what fillings, waste and scrapings still remain. Tbe greater por tion of the old workings above level No, 1 bas "caved in," and made an immense holo on the surface, extending for 300 feet in length, Eomo thirty feet in width and forty feet in depth, oxposing tno "Uicio" shown in tne "geological diagram " which accompanied my last report, in a most remarkable manner; as the slide comos up within a foot of tbo surfuco the whole distance of 3,000 feet, and stands perfectly solid, and all tbe ground on tue lower or southwest sido has fallen away from it, and li rapidly filling up the old workings above level No. 1. Tbe Salt Lake office has been abolished, ami the services of all the em ployees connootod with the same havo boon dispensed with. I have now only two mon employed at tho nilno to watch over your interests thero." In conclusion, Mr. Attwood says: "I may say in oonclusiou that my first report ou our mine was mado in March, 1873, aud wag un unfavorable one. that my second report was made in May, 1873, and was evon more so, and that my third report, made in April, 187 i, was equally unfavorable. Binco the last was written, I have bod sixteen mouths' further time to ex examine into tho geology and stratigraphies! features of Emma hill, in rogard to tbo tuture prospects of your miuo, aud from my numer ous careful observations ou tho subject, I can only Teitoiatq what I have stated in my previous reports, that Is, that your mine is virtually exhausted, and that your only hope for the future rests outirely on solving a geological problem, whioh problotn will take time, a large sum of mouey and skillful engineering to solve." Vulcanized Fiber A New Joint. Water-Tight New Urk fob Sawdust. Sawdust oan be oonverted into a liquid wood, aud afterwards into a solid, flexible und almost indestructible mass, which, when incorporated with animal matter, rolled and dried, can be used for the most delicate itnprrsaiouB, as well as for tbe formation of solid and durable articles, in tbe following manner: Immerso tbe dust of any kind of wood in diluted sulphurio acid, suffic iently stroug to affect the fibers, tor some days; the finer parts are theu passed through a Move, well stirred aud allowed to settle. Drain the liquid from the sediment, and mix tho Utter with a proportionate quantity of animal offal, similar to tbat used for glue. Holt the mass, pack it in molds, aud allow it to dry. Hot Glass a Gondcctob, or Elevtmcitt. Mr. Whltehorn, of Loudon, bas discovered tbat glass, although a nou-coudnctor at ordinary temperatures, becomes a good conductor at red heat; even at 2133 Fahr. It oouducts some elec tricity; at 3303 it conducts six time belter, while at C703 it conducts forty times better than at 3303, It thus appears that solid aud melted glass ia very much like solid and melted ico in its relation to electricity; for cold, dry ice it al most orquito as perfect a non-conductor as ooW, dry gUn. Tm Emousu Eiqutt-onk-ton Gun to bi IScuwxD, According to tho Kolnlscht ZtUung, Krupp la making preparations for the construc tion of a lilt-ton cannon. This enormous gun will throw steel bolts weighing more than s 8,800 pounds each, and will require a load if powder weighing 400 pounds. It ia esti mated that the projectile will pierce at dis tance ol 3.8O0 feel the heaviest plates, of 83.8 laokM tuokaeMi now used on the English lroaaladf , and that iU extreme range will ex gaed mtm Ui ! balf. We have already made mention of a new and remarkable material which has been called "vulcanized fiber. " The uses for this material have already become quite numerous, and a largo company has been organized in New York for its manufacture, which is said to be already doing a large line of business. New uses for the material are constantly being de veloped. The latest novelty in this direction is a water-tight joint, which seems one of those simple improvements the valne of which is apparent at a glance. This joint is described in the American Artisan as follows: The nature of this vulcanized fiber is such that, while it is absolutely insoluble in hot or cold water, oil, alcohol, naphtha or ether, yet it expands by exposure to moisture. This prop erty has been availed of in making this joint, whioh certainly accomplishes its object most effectually. Tho boards or planks are jointed with square edges, and at the same time grooved by a circular saw of proper thickness to any depth desired. In these grooves is inserted a tongue of hard rolled vulcanized fiber, and the boards are driven cioseiy togetner. suonm any water leak through the joints to the tongue of vulcanized fiber, it will cause it to expand, and pack the groove tightly, and thus arrest its further progress. This use was discovered by Mr. E. Waters, of Troy, tho celebrated paper boat builder, who has built a number of wooden skiffs in this manner, thereby dispensing with all calking, adding greatly to the strength and stiffness of the boats, and considerably reducing their weight. He asserts (after severe tests) that boats constructed in this way never leak a drop under any circumstances. Should tbe boards shrink a considerable dis tance apart, yet so long as the tongue remains in both grooves, tbe joints will always be water tight. Of course, these tongues can be made of any desired thickness and width, so as to adapt them to all kinds of structures. It seems to ns not easy to over-estimate the importance of this device, and tbe multiplicity of uses to which it can be applied. In addi tion to small boats, it will be valuable in ship building for ceilings, bulkheads, decks, etc., aud particularly for deckhouses and the light uppor works of steamboats. On railroads it will bo used for car roofs, water tanks and sta tions; and for refrigerating cars, which require to be air tight, it will te invaiuauie. a prom inent physician bas suggested that if tbe ceil ings, walls and floors of hospitals were con structed in this manner, it would admit of their beins thoroueb.lv washed down with hoBO every day or two, and thus keep them perfectlyfree from virus, and greatly improve ineir sanitary condition. Even in private dwellings and business warehouses, if the floors were laid in this manner it would obviate all damage to ceilings from bursting water pipes, or faucets left running; and, incase of fiio, would re strict tho damage by water to one Btory. We are informed tbat to render all the floors of a first-class four story dwelling absolutely water-proof, in this manner, would not add more than from $125 to $150 to the cost of tbe house. s irlj . I Tho "elastic fish bolt washers," and "car box washers," or "back straps" made of this material, are now regularly used on thirty or more of tho principal railroads. Tne works ol this company nre nt Wilmington, Delaware. For Wool, Mutton and Money. Spotting Sheep. "Spotting" sheep consists in placing tho sheep's head into Borne stationary yoke and dootoring such spots on the sheep as can be discovered to be affected by the scab. The yoke may be made of a forked limb of a tree; or, take a 4x4 scantling and spike on two 2x4 pieces, with holes bored through the same ; have a peg or bolt that can be inserted freely into these holes, so as to keep the sheep from disen gaging his neck or head from the yoke after he has been placed in position. The yoke is to be sot firmly into tho ground or into the floor of the place where the work is to bo done. Next inspect the sheep for scab thoroughly, and with a swab dipped into tbe "wash," rub all places that show trace of scab or even look suspicious for it is easy to overlook a patch tho size of one's hand if the operator be not up to his work. A sheep whose fleece is yet entire may be quite scabby and need only a few weeks to lose- large patches of wool, yet to the casual observer thero may bo nothing wrong. These Elliots in tbe wool are lightor colored than the alance of the fleece, and have a dried up, white appearance, that one may soon learn to detect as readily as be would were the wool off and an ugly sore formed. Either in spotting or dip ping sheep I would see tbat all-bad places, tbat are sore or "scabby," as tbo term would imply, should get an extra allowance of doctoring. Some advooite rubbing or scarifying tho parts with a curry comb until they bleed. This looks cruel, but I would do it if I had any doubt that the liquid was thoroughly penetrating every part ot the wool clear to the skin. I found it convenient to use an ordinary mechanical oil can filled with coal oil. With this the oil can be squirted into such places, and then a slight kneediog or rubbing in with the fingers will causa it to penetrate all parts. And in fact for "spotting" sheep coal oil, if not considered too expensive, is one of the very best applica tions tbat can be used in cases ot scab. S. F. Maikit fEroVP GENERAL MERCHANDISE.

I have seen open woolotl sheep do quite well when treated by this method ; still one is always in doubt as to its thoroughness. When rcab has once appeared it is better to "dip" tbe Bheep each spring, con tinuing it for a season or two after the all'eotion appears to have been eradicated from the Hook and from the range. Henoo it is best to pre pare at once for dipping, just as one prepares shcarit'K pons, etc. For the now hand wants to bear in mind that, no matter how "lucky" some of his older neighbors may appear to be keeping down scab in their flocks (whioh, per haps, are ot common and open wool sheep), still, as the new flock goes on improving each year, and particularly of oreeding up In either of the merino varieties, tho owuer is liable to be come disgusted at times with the imperfect suc cess of his efforts to keep down scab by "spot ting." Dipping. "Dipping" sheep, as the term would imply, consists in submerging the whole animal in the liquid or "wash" used for the scab. For this purpose a trough or box of appropriate size it required to contain the liquid. After being dipped, the sheep is to be taken out and placed on a shelf or platform near at hand, set at such an inclination that the liquid, a it drains off the animal, shall flow back into the dipping trough. Where a large flock it to bo dipped a platform or pen it usually arranged large enough to accommodate fifty to one hundred sheep at a time, the floor to inollnod tbat the liquid whioh drains off them shall flow back into the dripping trough. The trough it alto to arranged that the aheep may M driven through it, that obviating tho necessity of catch ing and holding taoh animal.
