~ \ correspondent of the Albany

says of Puget Sound: "Have your eyes
ever gazcd on its CLASSY surface, or looked
into its clear depths? No. Then you
have a duty to perform. Puget Sound is
one of the wonders of the world, and no
journalist within its reach should fail to
see it. No harbor in the world cxcels it
in any particular. Its mines of coal, iron,
gold and silver will, in due time, rival
many of our richest camps. Her fisheries
will be world.rcnowncd. The meandcr.
inys of the Sound, including each little
bay and inlet, amount to many hundreds
of miles in extent, and arc capable of sup
porting dense population"

A GREAT BILK.-Thc Walla Walla
Statesman alludes to practical joke
played upon some people Of the Eastern
States by one G. A. Robinson, who repre-.
sentcd that he had discovered an exceed
ingly rich quartz ledge somewhere in Mon
tana. The bait took. and he organized a
company of thirty young men, charging
them 81 900 each for admission into the
company. After plotting the company to
Montana, he suddenly disappeared, since
which event no clue has been obtained of
his whereabouts, and the party have just
bc-in to discover that they have been
sold" Some of the party arc in Walla
Walla, from whom the Statesman gathers
these particulars. 1t appears that this
same individual several years ago pcrpe-
trated just such swind'cs upon citizens in
Portland and San Francisco, but his last
" enterprise" entirely eclipses all former
efforts. A hcmpcn collar would be a prop

more at home with clearers and sausage
