THE November pay will be one of
the best our miners have enjoyed dur
ing long time past. Work is going
on with rush; few or none are out
of employment and all are making
full time. Hence the miners, and the
community generally viii feel the
boom, thus put IN notion
But heavy demands. are pressing up
on our people. The wintersmust be
provided for, and the holidays are at
hand when everyone wants some
spending money. All these consider
ations will enter largsly into disburse-
-ment calculations. Little debts ought
to be paid, too, large mum Der Of
which ere due the JOURNAL. In oar
Hands, the amount Of money thus rep
resented would make US feel quite
comfo1 table and put Us once moro in
good standing with our creditors.
Our need, however, is the more ur-
gent through a mistake made three
months ago in reducing the subscrip-
ton price, just at the time when the
manufacturers had largely increased
the cost.of white papel. Since then
prices have advanced still further, so
that the cost of paper now is fully
twenty FIVE per cent. more than it was
three months ago. And there is no
knowing how much higher prices will
jump, for the mills are pushed to their
utmost capacity, filing orders that
have been made far in advance. In
this connection the Now York No,ath-
u Union, o paper devoted to the
printing trade, Gays:
Without doubt this'unexpected rise ii
the price Of paper will be felt severely by
many publishers, and particularly by those
who have just put down their subscription
price to very low figures, in the expecta-
ton that tie cost Of paper would remain
about stationary.
= notwithstanding these unproritious
turns.. We will strive to keep the
JOURNAL at its present very low price,
both hoping and expecting that orr
good patrons will appreciate the stu
alton and stand by us by promptly
and regularly paying their little bills.
Between the 18th and goth of next
month our people will be fuE-handed.
Wo refer to the fact thus early be-
cause we desire to be included among
the bene6ciaries.
MARKET PRIcEs.-The recent gen.
eral advance has reached many arti-
cles of home production and consump-
t;on-so decidedly, indeed, that the
people begin to feel the effects of pay
ing biGher prices. This is the case
notably with purchasers of butter,
eggs, and few other articles, which
have been affected by decreased pro-
duction and unusually heavy demands
from other markets In nm interview
yesterday with Walter Edwards, ESQ,
one,of our leading merchants, we OBJ

HOTEL CHANGE.-By arrange
ments recently v effected the Cosmo-
politan Hotel, Of this city, has again
passed into the hands and control oi
its former proprietor, Mr.. J.J. Hunt,
the entire change of occupants will
take place tomorrow. During the
three years time that Mr.. G. +. Clapp
has had the property leased, he has
carried on the most extensive ho.e
business in town. by his genial and
obIiging disposition, he has become
general favorite with the travelling
public. Mr.. Hunt, in resuming con-
troi, will begin where he left of a
successful management of the bust
ness. His nephew, the retiring pro.
prietor, has purchased the Bartlett
property at Dungeness aud will inn
mediately enter upon active business
there, keeping a welI-filled store, a
hotel and doing general trading
business with the farmers of Clalam.
We have no doubt as to his contn.
ued prosperity, as his stirring bust
ness qualities will insure this. We
understand the consideration paid
for the hotel, business and house fur
nirure, was $4,000; and that Mr..
Clapp purchased the property in
Dungeness, house and two lots, for
the amazingly low sum Of 1000.
