From Occur d,Alene.

Jas. Morrison, writing to the Eureka
Sentinel from Eagle City, under date
OF Dec. 18th says: TO begin with, it il
the richest thing | ave saw. j have
taken in all the mining CAM s on the
Coast. The are only three or four
claims open as yet. In what is called
the Willow claim, they clean up from
500 TO $l75 per day with eight men
at WORK. There are two miners in the
gang; the rest are hay pitchers. The
other claims make about s. or $40 per
day. Now the bedrock is frozen SO
hard that they don't get one half of
tie gold. IL beats anything I ever sa W.
All the hills around will run from
20 cents up to the pan. Five hundred
feet above the creek the past claims,
so far, are on Pritchard creek. II is
located for twenty miles. They are
hunting quartz on now shoes no,v.
Every day turns up something new.
A lot OF Leadville mining men came in
lately. After looking the mines owe
they laid out a town for over one mile
in length. They say there will be
over 10000 people here by June.
Town lots have jumped from S25 to
$500 in two weeks. l don't think
there are over 500 men, all told, in
the district. WI had a heavy snow
which drove out all the men that did
not have supplies TO go on; for there
are only two stores here and nine
saloons. Over 100 houses and cabins
went up in the last W weeks, and
the axes and whip-saws r ringing
in every direction. Freight is $40 per
100 pounds. For forty miles the
river is full of boats frozen in with
goOds-mostly whisky.

AusCatOIb Allueb-tofloW.l
This week closes tor our country one
OF the Must prosperous business years
known since the founding OF our Re.
public. In almost every branch of
trade, commerce and man ufacture
unusual activity has prevailed. The
wOrkingman rs a rule has been well
paid for his labor, and capital has re-
ceived fair returns Oh its Investments.
No extraordinary calamities or death
dealing pestllences have been inflicted
upon ns. In no part Of tho Union has
there been any uncommon suffering,
The mortality list being nowhere
swelled to appalling numbers.
Strikes and labor troubles have been
less frequent than hitherto; and only
one, that OF the Western Union IN
ployees, has been of note. Thousands
of happy homes have been made, and
wealth has correspondingly in
creased. Nineteen million acres of
public domain have been disposed of
tn actual settlers, which vast addition
to the already cultivated erea will be
most marked In succeeding years.

Tho volume OF business transacted
during tho last quarter has not
equalled I'm greatness any one Of the
three preceding, but the immediate
prospects are in no sense diseouraging.
fhe iron industry is somew hat de-
pressed and its influence Is now felt
In other circles, though the prevailing
opinion il that II will be but temper
airy. There are many that will soon
revive this branch of trade, the great
est being the additional activity in
railroad building consequent upon the
cheapening Of material employed in
construction. Gigantic projects now
In contemplation will be rapidly
pushed toward completion. The
money market is unusually nrm but
not stringent, the carrying trade shows
no ~diminution, hut rather an increase
in u word, the prospects for the
ensuing year are exceedingly flatter-
ing.
While the foregoing is true in the
main, In no sense does it ex press the
state OF affairs in our own State, which
never looked more gloomy than now.

The Difference In Men.

advantages and yet in short time builds up a
large and extensive establishment One of
merchant, j. NJ. Emerson When asked by us
to what he attributed his success in business no
replied, that il was by fair and impartial deal
ing in all his business transactions by adyertis-.
ing and giving the public just what he adver-.
tsed, and by not asking too much for any arti-.
Gle In his stock, ALSO by giving the customer any
advantage he might, by careful buying for.
spot cash. In other words should a little child
step in to buy he would deal as fairly as.
though the highest and Hottest person were
purchasing.
