San Francisco, Nov. 25 Particulars have been received here of the tire in tbe Blossburg coal mines, near Raton, N. M briefly mentioned in last ni&bt's dis patches. They were as follows: ''At 6 o'clock last night a fire broke out in the mule aiables in the main entry of tbe Blossburg coal mines, which are situated four miles south of Rao ton. It spread with lightning rapidity, and soon tbe en trance to the main shaft was a mass of flames. Sixteen mules were in tbe stable hen tbe fire broke out, and none were saved. V ben tbe fire was discoveied, it was known that 100 men were at work in the sub-ways, in enlire ignorance ot their great peril, and shut off from escape except through au air shatt wbcb was likely at any moment to be cut off by the names. A messenger was at once dis patched to tbe mouth of this shaft a dis lance of three miles over tbe mountain. to notify the miners of their great danger. ana it is thought at this Dour tbat all have escaped. Tbe town wild with ex citenient. Women and children whose husbands and fathers are known to be in the inine are panic stricken, and the greatest consternation ptrvalls. The Raton hose comnany arrived on the ground, but owing to tbe limited water supply their efforts to extinguish the flames were ot no avail. The Blossburg coal mines are tbe largest in the territorv and are operated by the Atchison, Topeka B santa be railroad, employing about 500 men who take ont 50 carloads of coal per day. . It is thought the mine will be consumed. The origin of tbe lire is un known. Tbe lots to the railway company cannot be estimated, as they depend a! most wholly on these mines for fuel on tbe Hew Mexico divisions, but it is prob able tbat should these mines be entirely destroyed tbe output of tbe Starkville, Colo., mines, which are controlled by the same company, will be greatly increased, in wbtch case nearly all of the Blossburg miners wiii nod employment. At a late hour last nigh: the fire was still raging fiercely, with no prospect of abatement." he disappeared. The body was recov ered tbe following day. Deceased was unmarried and bad been a resident of tbe county about tnree years, ilia mother s faroUy Jive In Ubio and nave been noti fied. Fatal Train Wreck.

The solitary occupant of the city jail walks the corridor and dreams of elysian fields, where the perfume of fbwers scents the air, and where grassy conches, soft as the down from eider ducks, welcomes rest and repose; bnt thse visions are vague and uncertain illusions to the micd of him who views the hornson through iron bars. During the trial of Mr. BirRfeld the greatest interest centers in the court room uu every seat is occupied. Very many ladies are spectators, and these seem to py tbe same attention to the evidence as their brothers. The attorneys are District At torney Wilson and Hon. E. B. Dufur for the state, and for the defense Hon. A. S. Bennett. C M. Smith, at the recent term of the circuit court in Orant county, was sentenced to six years in the penitentiary for the peculiar manner he had of showing his af fection ftir his daughter, which was evinced by bim kcockiDg her down with a skew kettle, beating her while in this prostrate condition, and then hitting her with rocks when she ran away.

We had the pleasure of meeting a gentle man last week, says an exchange who was so well informed that he knows everything that transpires in the county before any of the papers are issued so, he said, conse quently proposed stopping all of them. What a blessing it is for newspapers that all the people of this universe are not built on the same wide plan of intelligence. A writer in the Pittsburg Dispatch says mat mere is not road-making stone enough in the United States to macadamize all our highways. He says that we must come to iron roads, that is, iron wheel tracks, six or eight inches wide and. slightly concaved. He saj s these would cost only about one third what macadamized roads would, and be very much better, aa they would enable horses to draw vastly greater loads. A catting affray occurred at Jacksonville Saturday night, says the Grant's Pass Courier, two young boys being tbe princi pals. It appears that the lads had got hold of some wine, and a quarrel ensued, in which one named Law cut the other, whose name ia Booth, a number of times, and some cf the wounds are severe. Law belongs on the Applegate and waa arrested and lodged in jail. The boys were about twelve or thirteen years old.

Joseph Crabb, known all over the coast died at bis home in Walla Walla Thursday morning. Hs was taken sick last Sunday. He has been in declining health for several years. Joe Crabb came to this coast in the early fifties and to Walla Walla thirty-five years ago. He waa a veteran horseman and for a number of years was prominently identified with tbe racing and sporting ele ments and was universally known through out tbe Pacitio coast. He waa well liked by all those wbo knew bim and was a good hearted and generous man. He was a brother of J. C. Crab, the first sheriff of Wasco county, and formerly resided in this oity. The following is said by those who claim to know to be a first-claaa recipe for the manufacture of a pure article of scandal: "Take a grain of falsehood, handful of roundabout, tbe same quantity of nimble tongue, a sprig of the berb backbite, a spoonful of don't you tell it, atx drops of malice, a few drops of envy; add a little discontent and jealousy and strain it through a bag of misconstruction; cork it up in a bottle of malevolence and hang it up in a skein of street yarn; keep it in a hot atmosphere and shake it occasional! v for a few days and it will be fit for use. Let a few drops be taken before walking out and the desired result will follow." The Salem Statesman of the 24th says: "Xesterday Deputy Sheriff Carlisle, from Arlington, Gilliam county, waa in tbe city and arrested and started on his way home wiin miss veraie Bnaw.wbo stands charged with the crime ot manslaughter.

The men acted as if they were anxious to avoid being met, aod upon seeing wagons approaching them aloog tbe road, darted off into the brush and ran off out of sight as quickly as poaiible. As tha Ashland buuters hadu't lost any Burdetta Wolfs or Son tags or other desporadpes, they didn't take tbe trail iu pursuit; but detect ives and trailers may consider the item of soma importance, since ortain fugitives ara supposed to be aomowhere in Southern Ore Kn. , '. At the stockyards of Mr. R. E. Salt marshe & Co. cattle have been crowding in. .to the inclosure daily, and the boat and freight trains were not sufficient to carry tbem away as rapidly as they came. This ' has been particularly true aioca the block, ade. Since the first train came through Saturday, toe pressure has been relievi d - somewhat, and Mr. Saltmarshe will have yard room for new arrivals. This industry has developed wonderfully siaoe Mr. Salt- ' marshe has had the management, and now the stockyards of The Dalles are well known ' over the northwest. Tbey are tha means of attracting to this oity catt dealers from all . portions of the country, and by tbia means considerable money is tent into circulation and all departments of trade are benefitted thereby.

The snow was six feet deep on the Great Northern paaa of the Cascade mountains last week. Jndging from the continued rainfall here and the snow in the mountains it must be much greater now. It sometimes snows as muoh as three feet iu one night. It is predicted that that the track cannot be laid in the time specified; it may, possibly, be delayed all winter, judging from what has happened other winters. Mora Observer: Alex Molntosh and Mr. Wood, one of Tbe Dalles butchers, was out looking at some cattle at John King's place Monday night.
