This will be a severe loss to Mr. Davis, as he has labored hard for the past two j ears lu order to get it in running order, and to have it thus swept away end all of his latter lost is indoed a heavy lo-;.-., not only to ii . . Davis, but to the entire camp. The mill was of the Hunting ton pattern, aud everything in connection was substantial and of the very best. We are unable to estimate the loss. sor:i!-:n (JURAT LOSS. The Baker City Binds, of the 21th inst. contains the following, in regard to the destruction f tho O. O. M. Co's. tramway : From John Clark, proprietor of the Baker City and Cornucopia stage line, a Blade re porter gleaned the following startling news as Mr. Clark learned It from the driver on the other end of the Hue: Altont 13 o'clock Sunday evening news was brought into Cornucopia that there hail been a snow-lidc at the mines, an immense bouyot snow coming down the mountains and crushing out the tramway. A party was at onte organized to repair to the so-nv i id acertain the damages done, and if any lives were lost. The party found the worl.s badly damaged and in searching for the different miners of the place it was found :hat three were missing, No intellitreucc wf the parties could b gained, and when the driver left Cornucopia at sis o'clock Monday morning nothing had been heard of them. The missing parties are Henry Kern, Joseph Nicholson and Mr. ITolstnu. There may be ap mobility of their escape, but if they were in the way of the avalanche, there is but little hope for them. This is the second time that the tramway has been swept away by snowslides, and it will give the mining camp a set back which it will not recover from for some time. AT THE 1IA1SI.KY MINK. Superintendent Oliver, of the Baislcy mine?, says the Blade, camo to town this morning and brought the intelligence that a snowslide in that vicinity had completely covered the mouth of a tunnel in which sumo minors wero working. Workmen on the outside prooecded to dig away the de bris from the opening and liberated the prisoners. The men were badly scared, as the noise made by the sliding snow was terrific, and they thought tho whole moun tain was sliding. A STERLING ACTOR. John Jack Who Is to Appear in This City Tomorrow Evening. It is doubtful If their is any one on the stage whose name is more familiar to the old residents of the Pacific coast than John Jack. For years he has beer, a familiar fig ure on the stage and has won an enviable reputation as an actor. Annie Firman, who appears witli him, is an actress of decidedly tnoro than ordinary ability. The Jack-Firman combination will appear at Wright.' hall in this city tomorrow evening. The programme will consist of selections from dramas and music. The Hoquiam Tribune speaks of the company as follows: "Last Saturday night John Jack and An nie Firman entertained tho pcoplo'of Ho quiam with Mmo selections from classic comedy and legitimate drama, showing as high a grade of actimr as any yet given in oiir theater. Lady Toaxle and Sir Peter wcro presented to the Itoqulam people as vividly as could ho wished. Tho potion sceno in Romeo and Juliet displayed the su perior dramatic talent of both Annie Fir man, ns Juliet, and John Jack, as the Friar. The local hits in Fun on the Ranch were good, aud tho character sketches In the scene by Annie Firman wore very superior, It is to be hoped that tho Jack-Firman com bination can bo Induced to return to Ho quiam in tho near future and piny again. Tho reputation of both John Jack and An nie Finnan brought to hear them a crowded house, and it couldn't have drawn a more apprciativeonc." Not So Hard on Their Clothes. They have a sad-'wed, petrified specimen of prehistoric antediluvian times over at Union eugaged to teach school this winter. He insists on calling the children Into his room every morning to listen to him otter ing the D'-ity some u-lvice as ho.v to run things terrestial during tho day. A now teacher was recently engaged In one of tho depariinents and ho ohjeoted to tho loss of time required to bear these suggestions ev ery morning on human government. It re sulted in a eall meeting of the board to de termine whether the children under the new toucher should go on aud put in their timo studying the simple branches of rudlincntal English, or should put in half an hour lis tening to suggestions dlreotcd to an imag inary power in the clouds. Tho children do not wear out their clothes so much on their knees now. Chronicle. The K. of P. Entertainment.

Two Chilr Cits F..U Throu h a Trcstlo Tnis Side cf Bonneville. A terrible di.Mister occurred Monday at 11 a. in. on tho Union Pacific at a point this side of Bonneville, thirty-live miles west of The Dalles. The west bound passenger train ran nut- a trestle which is on a curve, in rounding which thecoloni t chair oar loft the trnok. When the train rachod the bridge the otr toppled over, thtowing the ba.-gage car In front from the track, and al so the first-class ehair car following, which telescoped the colonist car, smashing scats in both cars to splinters and e; using fearful destruction The wonder is that any of the ln5ongers on tho two ears escaped unhurt. As it was thirteen wero injured, nine very seriously and two or three perhaps fatally. No ona scouis to know the names of the In jured passengers and all were do.ihtles new arrivals from the east.

B. Montgomery and otliois, dissipates the uncertainty which has exist ed in regard to tho nature of lands on which filings could be made under the timber laud act. The secretary says "that If the lands aro found to be suitable for cultivation when cleared, tho effort of the claimant un der the timber land act, to show that they are chiefly valuable for the timber thereon, makes no difference, inasmuch as they are, if cleared, lit for cultivation,'' and that the timber land act was intended to embrace within its provisions timbered tracts only in broken, rugged and moiintninou4s dis tricts, with soil unfit for agricultural pur poses when cleared of timber, Two Papers a Week For a Dollar a Yoar.
