It will be an unfortunate circumstance if the matter must now fall through and yet it cannot.be isaid it was either the lack of good inter-- tion on tho part of the projectors or tho want of zeal in the committee.

Steamer schooner Signal, Captnin Beudegard, arrived in port yesterday with a 600-ton plaster cast or her in terior on board. In other word", ihe Signal has in 600 tons of bitnminons rock from Port Harford, Cal., con signed to the Tacoma Bituminous and Paving company. It is by no meaus a desirable load to handle, and tho aver age skipper would mnch prefer to dis charge a cargo of elephants. Captain Bendegard h.'is an clephaut on his bauds this trip, and it will be somo time beforo he can get rid of it Bituminous rock is a peculiarmineral, and is a mixture of tar, pitch, sand, oil and earth. It is a dull, heavy, sodden, sticky stuff, black in color, and gives off an odor of black oil. The moun tains back of Port Harford aro full of tho rock, which makes excellent pav ing material and bad cargoes. The Signal dumped GOO tons of the stuff into her hold. It was in lumps when the steamer started for this port When the hatches were re moved yesterday morning it was found that the entire cargo had merged into ono solid mass fore and aft, and as hard and tough a3gutta percha. A similar cargo of ordinary rock or ore could be taken out in ono day, but it will require at least two weeks to clear the little steamer of her reluct ant cargo. A pickax is the only im plement that will make any impres sion on the rock, and with these tools the 'longshoremen areslowly chipping the stuff out in chunks about the size of a fried egg. One old fellow, who was industriously swinging his pick in the hold, said that the job re minded him of the days of '49. They may yet bo compelled to resort to dy namite or put in steam pipes, melt the cargo and pump it out- -Tacoma Ledger, 13.

A business proposition; A City Idy "Who Required Proef Beforo Believing. Thoro recently appeared in the San Fran cisco Call, Chronicle, and Ezamtncr, a propo sition hitherto unheard of. It was on advertisement in which the Edwin W. Jy Company, in proof of tlto curative properties of Joy's Vegetable Sarsapanlla, offered to submit it to the terrific test of "no cure no pay." Many accepted, and their experiences aro so convincing as to be almost beyond belief.
