Rev. J. r. EGBERT's LECTURE
before last the Rev. Mr.. Egbert delivered,
in the public school-house, an admirable
lecture on the "True Aim and Scope of
Education" The lecture was clear,
forcible and instructive, every word of it
being replete with good, sound sense
and useful suggestions. There were,
however, only thirteen auditors to hear
what, We do not hesitate to say, was an
Intellectual treat rarely accorded to an
audience here. Is it not crying shame
that the disinterested zeal of the elo-
quent young clergyman, who takes so
much trouble to stir up sense of re-
Sponsibillty in matter of vital impor-
lance to the well-being Of our little ones,
should meet such cold response from
the parents and relatives, who, one would
think, are the most concerned in the OBJ
ject of the lecture? At the earnest re-
quest of the few who were present, Mr..
ESbert has consented to repeat his ad-
dress, in the same place, on Saturday
next, at TX p. m. 1t is to be hoped that
on that occasion the parents and relatives
of the children attending school will be
more numerously represented-especially
as the expression of their opinion as to
the necessity of improved school accom-
notation will be invited.
JUDGE HALL AND BRISTOL. C.
P. Hall, whom we formerly knew as Pro-
bate Judge of Deer Lodge county, Mon
tana, but who is now extensively inter-
ested in mines in Bristol district, paid US a
friendly call yesterday. Notwithstanding
the Judge expressed objections to hay
ing the promising mines of Bristol given
newspaper notoriety, his own views and
observations accord so fully with all the
reports we have had from that section
curing the last month, that we cannot
lorDear putting on record the very strong
PROBABILITY that Bristol will rank, ere
many months, with the first bullion pro-
ducing camps in the State. Develop.
ments are now in progress which promise
mat steady employment will be given to
five or six hundred men in Bristol dis
trct the coming summer. Judge Hall
IS materially interested in number OF
me bristol mines, the most thoroughly
developed of which is the Hercules. The
hercules ore is of the smelling class,
and Is surprisingly rich. There is vast
amount u, of it out, ready for reduction.
Inc immense new furnaces at Bristol
are the largest and most complete on
.he coast, and will soon be put in oper-
alton.
NEWS FROM WALLAPAI. A party of
miners arrived here, day before yester-
oay' from Wallapai, Arizona. They say
inc ores of that district are good, and
The lodges well defined and of sufficient
extent, but that there is no capital in the
country, and that there are more men
man there is work for at cash wages
tthey think Wallapai has bright future,
Gut discourage stampeding in that direc-
ion at the present time. One furnace
aaa been running, and successfully, but
IL mad suspended operations at the time
our informant left-from what cause
they could not say.
MIR. VIM. Copy, just in from Wallapai
aistrict, on horseback, reports the roads
III Dad condition all along the Meadow
valley Wash. but fair on the Muddy.
w We was six days making the trip from
Mailapai to Bullionville. There are
sasee towns in Wallapai district, Chic
rue, Mineral Park and Cirbat, which are
aoout five miles apart, and each has q
equation of from four to five hundred.
Sr' Cody passed large number on the
road to Wallapai from Phoebe. He
.nlhks the majority Of them will be dis
appointed in seeking employment.
STAGE LINE TO BR1sroL.-A company
Ills been organized in the city, we are
efedlbly informed, to put in operation, in
new days, o stage line between Phoebe
auu Bristol. 1t will prove great con-
uenience to both places, and, we trust,
prohtabls to the proprietors. It will
pr start as tri-weekly. A post
vince Is needed at Bristol and daily mail
service between here and there. Peti-
IONS should be circulated asking these
"'ors OF the postal department.
