Eiutoi: ()i;kox Scorr: 1 give you a description of the thirty thousand dollar tramway mow being erected by the Oregon Gold Mining Company ai Cornucopia. It is 11 mng nifieent construction and will veiy inn torially reduce the cost of working the Red Jacket ores. The tramway now under construc tion for the Oregon Gold Mining Co. is being manufactured by the Trenton Iron Co., erf Trenton, New Jersey, and is what is called a "Hleichcrt Aerial Wire Rope Tramway." It will carry 100 tons of ore per ten hours from the Red Jacket mine to the company's mill, a distance of 1,500 foot. This system of tramways has been exten sively used in Europe for a number of years. Move than three hundred lines have been erected in Germany, Austria, Russia and other countries for the transportation oi an Kincisor ores, coai, H 11 I 1 1 1 cotton and wool, in hales, casks and boxes of manufactured material, lum ber, iron and steel bars, rails etc. It has achieved a marked success and is noted for economy in wear and tear and cheapness of transportation. The lines already built ha vo capacities ran ging from a four ton up to twelve hun dred tons per ten hours, and aie from a few hundred feet up to seven miles in length, crossing rivers and canyons as wide as fifteen hundred feet with a single span. At one mine the Rleich ert tramway transports coal at the sur prisingly low rate of 54-000 cents per ton per mile. The Tronton Iron Co. I is now building these tramwavs in all i parts of the United States, Mexico and j South America. It has completed and is now erecting lines in iSow l ovK state, Pennsylvania, Colorado, Montana and Oregon, for tho transportation of gold, silver and iron oros, limestone, blast furnace and rolling mill clay, etc. Tho system of tramways consists of two stationaiy who ropes, which might bo likened to tho vails of a cable road, as they aro in fact llexiblo rails, sus pended in the air on frame supports. On these ropes the trucks of the tram way cars run, ono ropo constituting tho down (.rack as it were, and the other the upor return track. A small er moving cable supplies the motive power, passing around sheaves at tho terminals. A patented grip on the car seizes the cable and is pulled along by it until it reaches tho other cud of the line when tho grip is automatically released from tho rope. The ear or bucket consists of a truck of two wheels st "t.iudem," which runs on the stationary chics from which sus pends a hanger carrying the grip and bucket proper. When at either ter minal those cars arc entirely indepen dent of tho traction or moving rope, which is kept constantly in motion. Tho car is loaded by a gate from u bin oi suitable device at the upper cud of tho tramway, and pushed by hand along the tetminal rail to the front end of the station, whoro it is gripped onto the traction rope, ft proceeds by itself thonce to tho discharge tunnel, where tho grip is automatically re leased, and the track runs from the stationary cable on to tho rail, which forms a loop over tho discharge bin around to tho letuin stationary cable where the bucket, having been dumped, is again gripped to tlio traction ropo which pulls it back to tho loading ter minal. This system admits of an elaborate arrangement of rails and swiches at both eudn of the lino and intermediate stations if necessary. Hy this means buckets may bo run to any place, oven into tunnels, taking the place of ordinary mine cars, or through a mill to any desirable spot for dump ing, The cars can be made of almost any form to carry ore, lumber, iron rails, casks, etc., and range in capacity from fifty to two thousand pounds ac cording tu requirements. I ho ore or contents of cars can bo weighed at either end of the lino on track scales especially designed for tho purpose Where theto is stiff iciont grado the tramway will work automatically, and in fact will produce work which can bo utilized around mines for pumping, etc. Whore the grade is against the load the tramway is driven by steam, water power or electricity. Curves ure perfectly practicable nnd aro stio cesfully used on a number of lines. This system is far superior in mechan ical design and practical working to Jiy yet placed on the market, and is being reeoived in this country vith great popularity. HAUD1N. A Cttfu! Society. There is a secret society in Haiti more, Md., tho object of which is to protect its members from unfortunate marriages.

Long may they live, and may the snows of a century drop a few light rla,kcs on thoir heads. Tlio boys who were with the thresh ing machine in Antelope a few weeks ago made a raid on the melon Patch of John Keeves and scooped in about twenty-iivo. John camped on their trail and found out tho main ones. They made no kick when ho asked for a few shekels, and put up like men. Tlieophilus Yowell, ono of our en terprising young men, took a trip , below last month for the purpose of looking around and getting into busi ness, lie went to work in the ma- chino shop.j at Tlio Dalles and btayod I a few weeks.

Tons it is that a for eign power boasts while standing on the threshold of our land and sharing tlio liberty of conscience wo give to all. Thus it is, tho mitred cardinal throws out in tho oapitol city of Amer ica utterances which should bo looked upon by true and loyal Americans as treason. Tho time is coming, though, if wo do not step in aud my "No," in big letters, when the initio and cross will stand as tho emblem where the stars and stripes now wave, and when the insignia of the blood-hungry pope will bo plarod instead of "U. 8." and "E pluribtis ununi."

KtMTOK OitKuox Scot t; In the exclusive supreme court cir- .Ph?sit is predicted that the vacancv chumM by Justice Matthew's de.Uh will be filled befoio the assembling of the court on the second Monday in Octo ber. From Deer l'aik comes the state ment that the president is now only hesitating as between Judge Wood and Attorney General Miller. Tho princi pal objection to Judge Wood is based upon his partisanship which is of the most rabid order. Another objection is as to his lack of prominence in the legal profession. That this objection holds good, also, against Attornoy General Miller, goos without saying. Mr. Mdlor is essentially u man of small calibre, a so-so lawyer, a good, indus trious man, with a mental and limp ( mentality. Tho inherrent reverence , of good men for dulv constituted au thority is eviuced in the loyalty of tho people to the supreme court. Xo oth- 1 er body could have passed in peace upon the Hayes election, for instance, j This court is recognized as the strong est btmvavk ot our liberties, lo Keep it free for merely partizan favor and to make its personnel a pride to Ameri cans is tho duty of every president. In so far as Mr. Harrison succeeds in casting personal prejudice behind and selecting a man whom the whole poo pie respect in so far will he be strength ening himself. Judge Wood h a very good, respec table man, us the world goes, and At torney General Miller is ufuir second j. iato lawyer, as is President ITnnison i himself but these qualifications fur- nish no lo.won for appointing either a justice of the. supreme court. Tho ro- Eublican party contains a vast nuin er of brainy men men from whom the vitjor and lire of intelligence, a breathing and living personality, springs at nil times. Why not give these men a chance? Can' it bo that President Harrison hath grown Cassi us and can brook "none greater than himself?'' Mr. Cleveland mndo such a mistake when ho appointed Mr. Jullor chief justice. Mr. Fuller was a deci dedly third-rate Chicago lawyer nnd oven there a man who by chanco heard his naino had (o searoh the crannies of his memory to recall his occupation and condition. Tho people have nover yet aoscplod the appointment with re al approval. The appointment of La mar, an much iierco objection as it. raised in :i republican senator, has been better received by tho people, bo cuiu.0 they knew that Lamar has brains and experience and because, political aulccedcnts aside, it was the honoring of a remarkably long and successful public life. President Harrison might do well to seek further than among his personal friends for his next justice of the supremo court. Ex-Congressman Warnor has sensi bly, after changing his mind four or fivo times, concluded that ho does not i want to be commissioner of pensions ' und this is behoved to bo his final an swer to tlio requests of LTCsidout Har rison and Hectetary Noble. Two reasons are given. General Warner is a man in tho full Hush of lifo and piling up money in his law practice at the rate ot .T.j.UUJ per annum. To I accept the Commissionership would bo to loio this income for a paltry $2,000 per annum for perhaps onfv four yoavs. It would, also, loso for him his political prestigo in Missouri. As it is, his strength in that Stato is far greater than .Secretary Noble's, but should ho once accept office under Secretary Noble ho would bo called upon to give way to his chief, which would not bo agioeablo. At present General Geo. H. Merrill, of Boston; seems most likely to bo se lected. Ho represents the consorva tiou wing of tho .Grand Army and is opposed to pensioning oxcept for disa bilities contracted in service and lino of duty. As chairman of tho pensions committee of tho Grand Army, it has been largely duo lo his efforts that tlio organization has boon so considorato in its official requests for favors. It is not known that he would accopt. Nothing definite bus yet been douo to tcciiio CoriKirnl Tanner a now berth, although his friends aro press ing his appointment as Recorder of j)cdi) for the District of Columbia, a ioition wortli twelvo or fifteen thous and dullurs per annum. The presi dent is said, with some, reason, to bo opposed lo furtitur honoring tho Cor poral with offices at home, and ever possible pressure is boing brought to bear to induce the Corporal to go abroad into the diplomatic service where ho will die out of the public mind. Holms been invited by Gov ernor I''oruker lo slump Ohio anil may awo.,tl though it would bo against the wishes of the administration and would antagonize tho president. The president lias a wholesome dread of Corporal Tanner's mouth, aud wants no more of his indiscretion. J. H. 0. KlHtCnut Mow DliiuiK Corn .! run daily, commencing Aug.
