Clay A. Moore returned to the bay two or
thtco weeks ngo, nftcr nn absence of soine four
years, lie left the Cueur d'Alino mines six or
seven wcrljt ngo, where lie nnd hit brother Ed,
and their father went several months hgd, and
where he thinks thoy have valuable claims, tils
fathtr It stilt at tho mines, looking afief their
claims, tome of which cannot be successfully
worked Until nor water ha been brought In by
dltehe. '
'Ilie I-nlrd brother, who at one lime logged
on South slough, are owner In one of the best
of the Cteur d'Alino mines.
Moore entertains a very high opinion of the
mlnet and believes that they will develop Into ns
good placer diggings nt were ever worked on
this coast. He hat teen as much n so pounds
of gold er day taken from the claim In which
the I-nlrd brothers own, one lump of which
was worth nearly 40a So far no gold-bearing
quarts ledges have licen found,
In tome gulches the bed-rock of the paying
claims Is shelly state nnd In other It It grtnrte.
In tome Instances the gold penetratet the sl.ito
to a depth of one or two feet, and In such cases
It pays to dig up and wash the bed-rock.
While Moore expresses unbounded confidence
In the richness of the mines, he says the chances
for obtaining employment there nt fair wages
aro not good, nnd therefore he advises men not
to go there with tho expectation of hiring out,
most of the claims being worked by their own
ers. Men of capital who own cfahns appear to
tie waiting for something perhaps n time when
they can work them with Chinamen.

A Dwelling House Destroyed by Fire.
Charley Hickman's house at tils D.inlets creek
much was dcstrocd by fire About noon on the
13th Inst. Tho firo Is supposed to have origina
ted tiy spark from the tove-plpo lodging in
and Igniting -the mots lhat had accumulated
and dried on the roof. Mr. Dlckman wat pre
paring dinner at the time the discovered the fire
and sounded the alarm, and Nathan Smith and
Rev. J. G. Mosher were ttie first to hear the
alarm and respond la It. Dlckman wa at work
nearly a mile from the house when tie discovered
tho flames and rushed to the scene. Some few
things were saved from tho house, but some of
these caught fire and were consumed after they
had been carried out, and hardly anything worth
mentioning was saved. After running from his
work to the house, and in attempting to save
some of it contents, Dkkmnn wa overcome by
the heat and fell helpless to near the house that
lie was only saved from death by being dragged
by Smith to a place of safety. Mother also be
came asphyxiated and was rescued by Smith.
Tho milk house took fire nnd was burned, and a
vest, in one of the pockets of which wa a $xi
greenback, burned after it had been carried
from the house. Fortunately for Dlckman, the
house on hit lower ranch wat vacant nt the
time of the fire, and Into this ho moved for the
present. Hit lost by the fire amounts to several
hundred dollirt and the inconvenience that It
occasions him at this busy season of the year is
no trifling consideration.
More Insanity.
I st week Judge Dyer visited the CoquIUe,
nnd while there lie examined Win. Teulsch nnd
Mr. John Ucrry, who were adjudged insane.
Tcutich is a man about 50 years of age Ho
litetl at or near Coquille Gty, where he has a
wife, son and daughter. The family came to
this state from Texas only three or four months
ago. He lias some children in Texas. The
family Is possessed of some means and Mr.
Teulsch paid all the expenses connected with
her husband' commitment and "conveyance
to the asylum. Ills Insanity appear to have
resulted from despondency, and one of bis
liatludnatlons is reported to bo a fear of death
by starvation, he tiaving no faith in the fertility
of our toll and It adaptability to the support of
tho people here. He started for the asylum
Irlday, In chargo of A. O. Aiken, Ed. Gallier
and R. Mast
Mr, .Jerry ha been more or less insane for a
longtime. Only a few weeks ago Judge Dyer
went to Myrtle I"oInt to hold an examination in
her case, but her symptoms look a favorable turn
at that time and it was not deemed necessary to
tend her away. Last week, however. It became
nn imperative duty that the thould be sent to the
Asylum, where she can receive tuch treatment ns
her case demands. Friday she was brought to
the bay by Deputy Sheriff Hickey, and on Mon
day the deputy sheriff and Mr. C F. Luse
started with her for the nsyluin at Salem.
The Newport coal company have built a pile

In acordance with Instructions received from
Washington, United State District Attorney
Watson hat commenced suit against the I'ort
bind lumbering company to recover $5635.
Tho facts upon which the suit Is based are as
follows: Edward Rorllnc, of Frccport, W. T
filed a declaratory statement on the southeast
quarter of a certain section of government land
November 13, 1881, and relinquished his cLiim
to the said quarter section Octolicr aa, 168a.
From this piece of land 800,000 feet of logs were
cut and sold to the I'orttand lumbering compa
ny. As Rorllne is not responsible, financially, it
wat deemed best to hold the lumbering corn
tony responsible for the value of the timber. In
the compUlnt it is alleged that Dorllne filed the
declaratory statement simply for the purpose of
defrauding the government out of the timber on
the land. Suit Is therefore brought to recover
the value at the rate of $6 50 per thousand feet
We have received a note from S. Hudson,
at the south fork of the Sixes river, in which he
says: "After an absence of nearly two yean, on
revisiting this pkicc I find the miner busy at
work in their claims. I visited Iho gra.c of
Thomas Jenkins, who died here on the 4th of
February last and was buned amidst tlicse lofty
and rugged mountains. Thomas Wilson has
placed a nice paling around the grave, to mark
the final resting place of the mortal remains of
his friend and partner. At the head of the
grave two small tree liave been planted, one
on each tide of the head-board, and they are
green nnd growing nicely. There wa also
there a beautiful bouquet of flower, presented
by Mn, G, II. Gucrrinof Ecklcy, and a car
pet of green velvet grass covers the red soil of
the grave."
The Oregonlvn says order have been promul
gated from the war department nt Washington

when be leaves, nor n what duty he will en
gage upon his arrival in the east, but will proba
bly go within a month or six week. Major
Jones, who succeed him, is now stationed at
San Francisco. The change is one of about a
dozen made by the same order, and is in accord
