Deleware Diasries.

This district, which is an old one,
is located about fifteen miles from
Dayton, aud there are several very
good prospects there which, by the
investment of c,pital, could be made
paying propositions. The leading
mines in the district are the Edison
and the Etns, and shipments are
being made from the Edison to the
Msrrilnac arastra on the Carson riv.
or. There are a number OF other
fine prospects outside Of the Edison
and Etna, one of which is 9 copper
mine owned by Hardwick and otis.
They have about 10 tons Of ore on
the dump and are making prepare
tions to ship This ore was taken
from ~ depth of only So feet, aud will
assay on an average 2s per cent.
Delaware district, like Como, has
had many set backs and has been
slow Ia comiag forward. There Is no
doubt, however, that II men with
means would take hold of one or
two mines there that il would in q
short time turn out TO be n bullion
producing camp.

not act as though they required my

tiations with q New York company,
and right here 10 where my trouble
began. The facts in the case are
substantially AZ follows; As | haye
just stated I catered into negotiations
with New York company with the
view of getting them to take hold of
one of my claims and the letters l
wrote to New York were so exsger.
ated and full of good promises that
they at last concluded to send out a
mining expert for the purpose of ex
aiming my property. This expert,
who intended to become y mem Der of
the company, was 50 elsted over the
rose coiured accounts that | sent East
that he spent large amount OF mon
ey on his way from New York in an.
,icipation of making large fortune
as soon as he commenced operations
in Como. But when he landed in
the camp and sscertsioed that there
was not pound of rock ON the sur

angry, and in a moment of passion
and excitement the pit OF my stom

Peter, who WAS u silent listener to

WE see it intimated that a delega,

WE see it intimated that q delega-
tion left Spokane Falls with grip
sacks full Of coin with the feh pur-
pose in view Of buying up the legis-
lature in the interest OF the county
dividers. This would he very laugh
able were it not serious reflection
upon the honesty of those men elect
ed,by the people to frame laws for
the territory. We are not Of those
who believe that every man has his
price, nor that the color Of coin can
make a poor measure holy in the
eyes of Legislators. The charge of
"buying" men has become so COM
mon that the grave assertion is har-
messed upon public bodies indiscrim-
inately. Our legislature may not be
made up OF men one whit better
than those chosen for the same office
in other commOnwealths, yet we do
not for moment believe that they
possess an itchingpalm, which would
respond to the scratch of gold and
link the support of the owners to
measures that might otherwise fail
Of recognition through unwOrthi-
ness. Out upon such base insinua-
tions, that tend to bring discredlt
upon a Legislative body that should
be respected until it is proven un-
worthy Of respect.

Fred. Post is engaged putting in a
dam from the north bank of the
river to the small but solid pyramid
Of rock that stands in the midst Of
the main upper falls, and divides
the tumbling sheet of water in two.
In fact the dam Is about completed,
and it has been constructed to stand
the wear and tear Of time and fluid.
From this dam an immense water
power can be supplied In shutes to
the land to the west. This land has
been sold to eastern parties with
water power privileges that had to
be furnished by the lst Of January.
What the buyers intend to do with
their lots we are not in position to
say, but it is safe to presume from
the fact of their wanting power at a
certain date, and paying well for it,
too, that new manufacturing estab-
lishmeGts will be erected and put in
operation early in the spring. The
parties have the means to go into
any industry, and we will not be
surprised to see the northern river
bank lined with valuable and attract
i've mills neN+-year.

J. w. Adams, a gentleman who
started out into the Big Bend cOun-
try some weeks ago for the purpose
of locating, returned to this city Sat-
urday, and is more than satisfied
with the appearance Of the country
where he has determined to pitch
his tent and stay with his newly ac-
quired property. Mr.. Adams has
had a wide and varied experience in
new countries. He was in the front
ranks Of civilization when the hardy
pioneer pushed his way into western
Kansas, he has mingled with the cat
tie men on the broad prairies of
Texas, he has seen Colorado fill up
and become state, and has taken
his chances among the early settlers
of Dakota, and yet he says that in
all his travels he has never seen ag-
ricultural land that will equal that Of
the section in which he is now lOca-
ted. He firmly believes that the
Big Bend will be the most densely
populated part of Spokane county
within five years. The land is No.
1, water can be found in abundance
and inexhaustable supplies of wood
and building material are near at
hand. A saw mill is already in oper-
alton, supplying the new comers.
Mr.. Adams returned to his claim
this week, in company with a num-
Der Of Others, and proposes to remain
all winter, making it his permanent
home.

A rumor gained circulation during
the latter part Of the'week that Sem
atOr Washburn's son, Of Minneapo-
lis, who was in the city for a day,
had made arrangements to rent the
Echo Mills, and would at once take
possession Of the premises. We at
once called upon Messrs. Havermale
& Davis and questioned them regard
the report. The gentlemen were
surprised, 1t being the first they had
heard Of 1t. They denied the rumor
and stated further that they had no
desire to dispose Of the mill when
they are just on the eve Of realizing
the hopes that have buoyed them up
through almost two years Of labor.
The machinery, all Of the latest i'm
proved, has arrived and Is In place
and the firm expect to commence
operations next Monday. II will be

machinery In the mammoth new
building, and also will be Of great .ad-
vantage to the farmer, rs then a

has labored faithfully to perform the
duties falling on his shoulders, and
has succeeded well. lie stood the
work as long as possible, and asked
for a lay off. This has been granted
by the company, but for how long
We are unable to say. II. q. Slim
nell, late agent at Heron, has been

thorough railroad man, but looks

Dor he is expected to perform. G..
n. Calhoun, the gentleman who has
handled the wires for months, has
grown 50 thin from constant apRlica-
tiOn at the key, day and night, that
he has thrown up the situation in
disgust and will take up his home on
a farm where the work is far lighter
and where man can have at least
one hour in the day to himself.
Frank Parker, late of Cabinet, a sta
tion east of here, will take Mr.. Cal
houn's place. 1t is only just that
the company should make some diff
ferent arrangements with the Office
at the Falls There is enough busi-
ness to keep a dou lie force constant
ly employed, and it would be to the
advantage of the road by expediting
business, and would give better sat

I0ne day this week one Of our lead
(ng citizens was struck with a desire
10 haul off from the cares Of business
Tor day or two and take IA run up
tO the lake, where he could bathe
his rotund figure in the invigorating
zephyrs that play over the bosom of
that sheet Of water, and stretch his
legs among the pines and feel happy
in distRnce that separated him from
inhabited 4Rbitations. In order to
make the excursion seem more like
a sportive picNic our friend armed
himself before Starting, not forget
ting, however, to take plenty Of grub
so that the yearnings Of the inner
man would not depend entirely on
the prospects Of his hitting game
even If he should see some. The
second day out his attention was at
tracted by a dark object some dis
tance away. All of the sportsman
spirit of his nature was at once
ablaze. He grasped his gun, moved
forward with great care, his eyes
fixed on the animal. "My jiminey,
it was a wolf" and as he remarked
the size and ferocious appearance of
the beast, the more determined was
he to carry the hide back home and
astOnish the boys Getting a good
rest our NimrOd took long, careful
aim, and with the report Of the rifle
the animal rolled over in the throes
Of death. Dropping his gun, and
cOngratulating himself upon the ac-
curacy Of his aim he ran forward to
secure his game. His jaws fell out
Of place, his eyes stuck out like door
knobs and an ashy hue spread around
under his ears when he reached the
spot and discovered that his wolf
was large Newfoundland dog. He
Immediately remembered that he
was wanted at home and his getting
there far surpassed in speed his GO
ing out A Gay or two afterward q
big, muscular farmer, with I-want-&
Acknowledgements scowl lowering
around his countenance, came into
town on the search for the dOd blast
ed pirate that had shot his dog.
Fortunately he did not find the party
and returned to his ranch vowing
eternal vengeance. The mighty
NimrOd now keeps his eyes peeled
for the man with a vacancy in his
kennel, and as he whispers in conf
dence to the boys of the unlucky
shot he says, 81 would sooner have
lose my business than have shot that
mans dog" And, being good
hearted, generous fellow, he means
just what he says.

Wednesday and Thursday OF this
week Mesdames Davies & Bertrand
held a reception at their cozy little
millinery rooms, on Howard street
between Riverside avenue and
Sprague street, which many of the
ladies of our city attended. The Oc-
casion was the opening Of a large
and magnificent stock Of millinery
and fancy goods, just received from
San Francisco, consisting in part Of
bOnnets, hats, feathers, flowers, rib
bons, ladies' and children's under
clothing, hose, and numerous beau
tiful things appertaining to lady's
toilet. The ladies propose to keep
on hand full line Of goods found in
a first-class millinery establishment,
and will sell at the lowest possible
figures.
