dara that was waahed away at the first higl

In Golden late and Golden Feather mines thi

ln a narrow ^1 nnel between prcclpitious hills

dam is being ??.. at the head of Golden Feathe
Mine which will U.t for many years. A ^igantu
canal instead of a lume will be used, and worl
upon the mine will ontinue for a series of years.
The history of tiese mines is full of interest
Feather River was the richest gold-bearin0' chan
nel known in mininj hi.?-t<>ry. Oroville, on iu
bank, became the thiid town in California durinj
tbe early gold-minint period. It? annual outpui
for yt-ars ailded maty millions to the circulatinj
mediuiu of the Wl rli.' Where the river oould in

the expenses were $160,000, and though oid.v a
fevw days of inining were ulitaiinsl preTloiU to the
raiil . yet 8250,000 was t*ken from the t>ed ol the
srream. The l>ed of the river lial l>een hlle.l to
some ext^nt. with Sliekeus gravel. To remove
thw is a huge undertaking, but in no other niuiner
ran the rich nu streak near the bed of the ri>er

the berl-roek itself tlioroughJy scrapefl, for on this
gr>'imd has beeti found the lnrgest quantity of
gold eN~er found in river mines.

Only flftcen months ago the eoBBM wert mar

Hc fleeracd likely to rnake a goad haabaad. Im

Vhenever she left the house hc dogged her
lootsteps, bat in apite of this, Mrs. Lawkens did
aot seek the protection which thc courts woald
have given her, belng anxioud probably to avoid
lublicity.
All through yceterday afternoon Lawkens
paced up and dowu on the MBewalk

t'hief OthYer Kawlston was on the 8 to lt
waeeh on Saturday nipht, and just nt 10 p.' m.
the lookout man on the forccastlc-head whoufed)
that lliere was a sehootier on the port bow, and
nlmoM. at. the same moment the 6chooner showed a
"tlare" li^lit. It waa dark at tl>e time. The
chief ofticer immediately sturboarded his helta
?Bd stopped the cngines, fj as to give the twil
ing eraft her rijfht of way. As soon aa the " flare'*
was extiinrrlis!ni| the green llght of the sehooner
was visible. Slie had evidently ported her helia
instead of kecping straight on her course.
The (ireassia's engines were at oncc rcversedi
but the sehooner bore down almost head on to the
ateamet and ran her bowsprit into hrr just below
tlie starboard hawsepipe, tearing away the plata
and making a hole twelve fcet by eight jnat oa
a level vith the maindeck, aud belpw the fore
caatle deek.
There waa little exeifement on board thc
steamer, thc oflicers assuring the passenirerB that
there was no danger. A' lx?tt waa at once lowered
from the CtanejaJa and put off for tlie then un
known sehooner, in ca*>e she shotild want assiet*
anee. On boarrl the sehooner there w*a? a panlo,
and the sleepy sailors who had not been keeping a
good lookout were so seared that five of them
lowered a boat and pul!e<l for tbe steamer, leaving
only the captxin and mate on the sehooner.
An examin'afion was made of the sehooner, and]
aa it was found that she had only lost her bow?
sprit the deserters rcturned and the sehooner ooa?
tinued her voyage.
So large was the hole in the Circassia, though'
above the watorline, and so certain was it#that
head winds would be met before reaching Glasgow.
in which case the snfety of the vessel would bc
greatly imperilled, as the scas would flood tlie moini
deck, pouring in through the hole made by the
sehooner, that Captnin Hedderwick determined.
to turn hflek and have thc damage repaired, whiob*
he pxjioets will be done in twenty-four hours.
Nobody was injured by the aecldent. Thc" paa>
scngers will remain on board untll the vessel pute
to sea again. The Clrcassia is a powerful steamef
of 3,517 tons, 400 feet in length, 42 feet breadth
nnd .'(3 feet depth, and was buLlt at Barrow-in.
Furness in 1878. The Daylight is a three-masted
sehooner of *128 tons, and was built in Belfast,
.Me., in 1?8*2, and is owned by Armstrong & Co.J
of that city.
The sehooner must have been running straight
before a stilf nortlieasterly wind to have cauaed the
damatre she did to the Cireascia, and had rdie atruolc
the steamer atnidships, the eonsequences wouli
probaMy have been the loss of tnany hves.

he was attempting to eseapc. It was t.hought thatj
nothing would come of the case after a report of
death from natural causes had been made, but
late last night the familv of Betzel was discovered
and they tell a totally different story from that of
Policeman Dnrholz, of the Thirteenth Precinct,
who arrested him for drunkenness late on Friday
