COQUILLE CITY, OREGON, TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 1, 1885,
VOL. 4.
A fire causing a loss ot over
8100,000 broke out on board the
steamer Colorado, lying off Plum
beach, near Fort Washington, L.
[., last evening, says a dispatch
of Aug. 22.
The flames spread
from the Colorado to the following
ships all of which were burned to
the water’s edge and sank:
The
Minnesota, Susquehanna,Congress,
South Carolina, Iowa, Lotta Grant
and Fair play, all with the excep­
tion of the last two formerly be­
longing to the United States navy.
They liad been condemned and were
bought from the government bj’
Stannard & Co., who were to break
them up Tor the old iron and planks
they could get out of them. The
tire broke out on the forward deck,
of the Colorado, w here men were
at work burning up the planks to
get the iron spikes. On the right
of the Colorado was the Susquehan­
na, to which the flames spread rap­
idly, and before either it o r the
Colorado could be towed out, the
dames spread to the other boats
and all burned like tinder.
The
sky was red-tor miles around. The
heat was so intense that it was im­
possible to get anywhere near the
b li ning ships, while the crackling
of the flames sounded like a sharp
ciack of musketry.
The flames
swept along the decks and bulwarks
of the ships and eat their way up
the shrouds into the rigging.
The picture presented of eight
burning vessels outlined against a
hank cf inky clouds was one long
to be remembered. The tire burn­
ed so fiercely that within three
hours nothing was left of the once
defenders of the United States but
a few charred planks and floating
timbers. The hulls sank at once to
the bottom, going down with a hiss
and a gurgle, amid a cloud of
steam from the water as it swept
over the burning wrecks.
The
Colorado was the first to sink, and
as the water closed over her a mast
from the Minnesota toppled over
on the C ingress, and together they
sought the sandy bottom cf the
sound. The Susquehanna broke
loose from her moorings, and at
one time the various fishing craft
anchored ah mg the shore appeared
to be in danger. She floated about
fifty yards from the shore and after
trembling for a moment keeled
over and sank. The South Caro­
lina and Iowa followed her to the
bottom in short order, but before
going down the flames spread from
the Iowa to the Loita Grant and
Fairplay, two schooners lying near
the shore, and they too sank. Who
the owners of the two schooners
are could not be ascertained, as
the crews became so mixed up in
the crowd of spectators that they
could uot be found.

IiH lian* uot C iliz o n t,
Washington Aug. 2d.—Secretary
Lamar has instructed Indian in­
spectors, under authority of a late
decision of the supreme court, that
it is illegal for Indians to home­
stead public lands as citizens.
Half-breeds come under the same
ruling, and both Indians aud half-
breeds have attempted to locate
laud in Dakota, an action that call­
ed for some action on the pirt of
the interior department. The sec­
retary’s decision says that Indians
and half-breeds cannot be recog­
nized as citizens under the existing
law but may take up land if they
make entries us Indians.

An officer of the Peruvian gov­

escape fromCunta says the number

15th was 1500, with four guns.
They lost alxiut 200 men.

The extraction of gold from black
sand has so been often attempted
without success that any new in­
vention purporting to solve the
difficulty is regarded in the same
light as the question of perpetual
motion. It remained for Mr. M. J.
Auric*, of this city, to unfold this
knotty difficulty, and that he has
accomplished his self-imposed task
successfully no one will doubt who
examines the new invention now
on exhibition at his room, No. 45
Cambridge building. The machine
c insists of two upright, concentric
cylinders in the mindle of a large
metallic pan.
Quicksilver
is
placed into the space between the
inside ar.d outside cylinders.
A
sluice box feeds the inside cylinder
with water and sand which is forced
into the inside cylinder by a piston
rod, and then up through the
quicksilver in the space between
the two cylinders. A 11 air escape
in the piston proven s the displace­
ment of the quicksilver. The most
remarkable thing about the ma­
chine
is
its
remarkable
simplicity. Mr. Aurick lias tested
the invention on a small scale al­
ready, with the most flattering re­
sults. He expects to be soon able
lo give it a thorough practical test,
and ivite his friends around to see
the success of the machine.
A
machine of 1000 tons daily capacity
can be erected for 8500.
Mr.
Aurick has another invention for
the preparation of sand before
sluicing it. These two inventions
will yet be a great addition to the
equipment of the small miner.—

For many years the California
sugar refinery, owned by Charles
Spreckels, has controlled the sugar
market of this coast. This it seems
will soon bo c h a n g e d . It lias been
learned from authentic sources that
a cast-iron compact for a term of
years lias been entered into be­
tween the American refinery of
San Francisco and a number of
Hawaiian planters, the terms of
which if carried out means little
else than comparative cessation of
business for the California refin­
ery.
It should be stated here that for
years the California refinery has
controlled the American refinery;
has set the figures of its produc­
tion and daily ruled its quotations.
About six months ago the Ameri­
can refinery associated with itself
some of the leading merchants of
the city ami set systematically to
work to obtain control of the bulk
of the islands’ products. In this
it has been entirely successful. It
is calculated that the total product
of the plantations for this year will
be from 70,000 to 75,000 tons, and
of this amount, by virtue of the
aforementioned contracts, it will
control about 55,000 tons.
One of the directors, in speaking
cf the causes which led to the for­
mation of the new corporation,
said: “ There was an agreement
between Mr. Spreckles aud our­
selves bv which we were mutually
bound to produce only so much
sugar as would not drug the mar­
ket. This agreement was renewed
from January to Jauuary.
AN hen
the last time for renewal came
around no one made an appear­
ance from the California refinery,
aud after two or three days had
elapsed we concluded that they did
not want the agreement renewed,
and so allowed it to go by default.”
It appears there was no nctual
rupture between the two refineries,
but ever since tli3 above incident
the American refinery has been en­
gaged in an effort to become mas­
ter of the situation, and accord­
ing to all reports it lias now be­
come so.
Careful mathematical calcula­
tions have been made recently to
ascertain the residuum left ( n the
earth by the deposit of meteoric
matter.
