Frank r. Moore, was in the city Christ
mas.
Chas. McMillen, Of Redwood Falls
Mimi, late with Maj. l.. S. Kaufman, II
now night clerk at the Spngue House.
Wendell Hall, Of the firm Of Miller a
Hall, civil engineers, started Monday OF
a business trip out in Lincoln county.
DR.. L. f. whitehouso returned home
Friday from protracted trip out on T. {
road. His appearance indicates that the
trip was not an unhappy one.
Hon. VIM. II. Claggett, Of Portland, who
won the name Of the silver tOngued orator
OF Montana, while representing that terri
tory in Congress, is now in the city.
Friend Kellogg, the quill jabber OF the
Cheney Tribune, paid the city visit Sat
urday, and found his way to the REVIEW
office. The old boy is looking as though
he was scratching along on the rosy path
to prosperity.
o. d. Garrison, Of Billings, NJ. T., an
old timer on the coast and a genial gentle
man, is stopping at the Sprague House,
and is keeping his experienced eyes lev
eled for the first chance to invest in our
growing city.
NJ. T. Benham is just regaining the use
Of his pins aftera very close call from a ser
ious siege OF sickness. He was confined
to the house for several days, but is feed
ing now as though his old accustomed
vigor was returning.
w. X. Donnelly, Of Chicago, came to
our city on the strength Of its floating rep
utation, and is in love with the place. He
has rented one OF the store rooms in
Brownies block for furniture store, and
we would not be surprised to learn OF his
reaching out for the purpose Of bigger
ventures.
We regret to learn that DR.. Gibson was
prostrated suddenly this week by an at
tack Of vertigo. The gentleman was sicI;
but short time, but what ii lacked in du.
ration it made up in severity. The Doc
tor is about himself again and we hope the
disease may discontinue further operations
for at least century.
S. Shafer, late OF fHyndsyille, New York
is enjoying a brief sojourn in our city
preparatory to a trip into the Ceur d
Alene mines. Mr.. Shafer is rattlinp
clever gentleman, and we are in hopes Of
learning Of his success in the new camp,
and as he goes with an OLD and expert
enced prospector, and has capital to back
him, we are not at all doubtful Of the re.
suits OF his mission.
Prof. J. NJ. Tiernan departed Wednes.
day evening for New York City, where he
goes for the purpose Of inspecting certain
mineral lands owned by the Northern Pa
cific. We wish the Professor a pleasant
| trip across the Continent, and feel satisfied
that he has good time awaiting him IN
the east among host Of warm fri6 nds ant
congenial old cronies. He expects to be
absent six weeks or two months.
Geo. Wonnacott, the big, big merchant
Of Rathdrum, was mixed up among the
visitors who took in Spokane Falls last
Saturday. Mr.. W. is an old resident Of
this section and is full Of "reminiscences o.
the days of yore. Being a pleasant con
versationalist the gentleman is deservedly
! popular, and numbers friends in this com.
munity by the regiment. Pleased to learr
that our neighboring town is pIospering
and that the railroad is about to lay out {
new addition to the place.
We had the pleasure last Saturday, anG
several times since, OF meeting W. L
Bunham, Of Baker City, who is laying OF
here few days before going into the
mines. Mr.. Bunham is one Of the soliC
relics Of 40. lie weighs about OBS in fiesl
and something over a ton in good nature
His experience in mining stretches ovel
all the mineral producing territory on the
coast, and his life has been one OF contin
uous adventure as a pioneer, a miner anC
an Indian fighter. From old acquaintan
ces we have heard Of some Of his exploits
which for pluck, utter contempt Of per
sonal danger, and for sell acrifcing ger
erosity, vies with the performances Of tn,
bravest knights in the days Of chivalry
A sketch Of his life would read like fiction,
but our space prevents even extracts from
his personal history. Mr.. Burnham ha,
for years applied himself to mining, anc
his labors have not been confined to ont
particular locality. He was the first mar
who ever shipped a quartz mill up the
Columbia river. 1t was transported tC
Umatilla, then a lively and exceedingly
lawless camp, and from thence it was
packed to Baker City. lie is just the
right kind OF man for the new golG
fields, and II there is a ledge in the noun
tains he can tell by examination just wha
| 1t is worth. We expect to hear good re
| port from him after he has had an oppor
tunity to inspect the region.
