II. l.. Cutter has in his possession
two magnificent specimens of the
FgOld products o. the C9ur d'Alene
mines that would turn the heads of
old prospectors, to say nothing of
novices in search Of the metal. One
is solid chunk, Of irregular fOrma-
tiop, that looks as though it had been
turned into water in the melted
state, and thus suddenly hardened
into the peculiar shape. lis valued
at between $40 and $50. The other
is huge mass Of stone and gold, the
latter predOminatng. On one side
Of the rock the gold is spread over
in a thick mass, while the metal
crops out in many places on the op-
pOsite side, showing that the metal
runs entirely through the specimen.
1t is worth 500. These are by no
means the finest specimens that
have come out of the mines, yet
they are fair samples of what the
diggings are producing. Mr.. Cutter
showed these pieces to many Of the
business men of San Francisco, and
the result produced insures a stam-
pede up this way among the vision
ary Californians, who have lived in
an atmosphere of mining excite
ment for years.

The new county Of Lincoln was
organized according to law this week,
and now runs on u regular system Of
county government, with full list
Of officials. The Commissioners,
John Bartol, +. d. Willis and John
McGourin, met at Davenport Tues
day, and perfected all the necessary
arrangements. The result Of the
deliberations Of the body meets the
approval Of a majority Of the resi-
dents, and there was perfect har-
mony in the entire proceedings. The
following are the names Of the new
officers Of Lincoln county, list, as
will-be seen, that has been made up
with great care, and embraces the
names Of some of the best men Of
the county: Jas. II. Robertson, Of
Sprague, Auditor; c. c. May, Of
Larene, Treasurer; John Cody, Of
Crab Creek, Sheriff; r. A. Hutchin-
son, of Mondovi, Assessor; J. +.
Rudy, of Harrington, Surveyor I;
w. II. Smallwood, of Sprague, Pro-
bate Judge! c. w. Walters, of
Fairview, School Superintendent; (;
J. r. Whitaker, of Sassin, Sheep
Commissioner. The Commissioners
made arrangements to rent tempo
rary quarters at the county seat for
the officials, which will be ready for
occupancy about the lst Of Febru-
ary. With this start Lincoln county
commences under very favorable
auspices. AS a former part and par
eel Of Spokane county we take
deep interest in the newly organized
wing, and feel satisfied that II will
rapidly develop and become one
among the leading counties of east
ern Washington. Its resources are
mostly agricultural, hut as that is
the stability and lasting wealth OF
any country, there is no danger of
the section being affected in the pow
erty line. The name the county
bears Is good omen Of future pros
perity.

At last it is pretty definitely set
tied that Spokane Falls is to have
that emigrant house so long talked
of, s. slow assuming shape, and
so greatly needed. Paul Schulze
has informed our rpeople by wire that
the railroad has set aside two lots as
a donation toward the scheme, and
Col G. II. Morgan, who handles the
finances, states that the money will
at once be forthcoming and the build
ing run up Immediately. Subscrip-
tiOns were taken for this purpose up
ward of year ago, but. for various
reasons the work was put off to this
late date. However it is better late
than never, and the establish
ment will yet prove an important
factor in the progress Of the city.
We are not prepared to state the
size and shape of the new edifice,
but can say that in every particular
it will be constructed with view to
the comfort and convenience Of those
who may occupy it. Next year peo-
pie coming west will find accommo-
dations here that they will not meet
with elsewhere on the line of the
railroad.

Our city was thrown into state Of
feverish excitement on last Tuesday
by the scattering Of handbills con-
tanning the announcement that a
sacrifice of prices such as had never
occurred before in this city would be
commenced Wednesday by Chas.
Sweeny & Co., on the corner OF Front
and Howard streets, opposite the
California House, TO last thirty days.
On the day mentioned, crowds Of
people could be seen pushing their
way to the mammoth store room.
On Thursday the rush was so great
that the force of clerks was found to
be inadequate to supply the impa-
tient demands of customers. The
rush is becoming greater as the
prices Of clothing and boots and
shoes are nOiscd around, and
Sweeny's competitors stand by
amazed. The universal verdict now
is that Sweeny will not and cannot
be beat.

YES. A PunLIc LIBRARY

MR.. EDIroR: In Thursdays Chronicle
there was an article in favor Of public
library, with which we agree In the main.
think some man wrote the article. because
he seems 10 think he must have some good
real estate first and books afterwards.
Possibly he wants a good lot, a fine library
building, well furnished with upholstered
furniture, elegant paintings, and then some
books. II does seem 10 me Of all the towns
ever saw spokane Falls needs, yes, absolute
~ needs, public library the worst. A beau
ttful town Of three thousand population, all
actively intelligent young people, and most
all strangers TO each other; with but little
amusement Of any kind, n public library
would be an absolute blessing to the people.
For pltiy's sake let us not commence get
ting boOks by purchasing real estate. Lei us
get the books first and the good lot after
awhile. oh how I wish could go tn the pub
lie library, that's going to be, this afternoon
and get n good book or a magazine to read
this evening.
Mr.. Good Books, know you[arc man by
the way you propose beginning, and I pre-
sumo you will know am not a man by my
impntlence. Yet thank you kindly for your
article, IN calling attention to the subject. /
hope 10 meet you in the public library.

AS will be seen by card elsewhere,
Messrs. Miller q Hall have opened
an Office in Union Block and are
prepared to fill orders for any or all
kinds Of civil engineering. w. c.
Miller is from Kentucky and Wen
dell Hall from Wisconsin. Both
young gentlemen are experienced
surveyors, both in general work and
railroad engineering. They were
attracted TO this country by stray
copies of the REVIEW that fell into
their hands, and from their slight
acquaintance with the place are very
well pleased with the city and its
surroundings The gentlemen come
highly recommended and we hope
that they may fall into an endless
amount Of work in their line, feel
ing confident that in every instance
they can and will give satisfaction.

Some time ago the Chronicle OF
this city stated in a few lines that
c. b. Carlisle, formerly Of Spokane
and now associate editor on the
Portland Standard, had been .di-
vorced from his wife at Walla Walla.
We have a letter from Mr.. Carlisle
correcting this s'erroneous statement,
but as our contemporary has made
an explanation it is not necessary to
reproduce the letter, which is writ
ten in the kindliest strain. We are
satisfied that the original publication
was made through an eXcusable mis-
understanding, and was not intend
ed to reflect upon or do Mr.. Carlisle
an injustice or injury. We are
further pleased to know that our
friend of the quill is not mixed up
in any domestic unpleasantness, as
will be the large circle of friends in
this city of both the lady and gen.
tleman.

be seen by card, and will soon build
up a business that will prove satisfac-
torily remunerative. Mr.. Cove, as
we stated last week, is new arrival

Excursion parties are coming in. and
occasionally q little old-fashioned human
nature is exhibited. A mild old couple
sat at our table. Evidently the bill OF
fare was a sealed book to them; at
least, they paid no attention to it. but
mcekly asked for small plate of cold
corned beef. When four potatoes were
brought, she selected two of the best,
and requested that the rest be carried
back, as some one else might want them.
When the old man asked if they had
any clippers" and further explained
by stating that he supposed they called
them ''fapjacks up here" the old lady
touched his arm. and said: Nathaniel,
it's good deal of work to fry them
things, and seems to me wouldn' t
make the folks so much trouble eff was
you" The old lady had evidently got
Nathaniel broke into harness, for we
noticed that Nathaniel was very ''savin, 7"

begged the other people at the table to

meant all right, although it was evident

table before, and were taking a bit Of

The BABTS BLUE EYE.

know of a dainty blue sky,
And It is the baby's blue eye;
And we watch 1t to see
What the weather will be;
But We never can tell if we try.
We catch wee glimpse of the sun,
And think such a fine day is begun;
And everything neat
And happy and sweet,
All ready for frOlic and fun.
The rainbows are here without doubt;
And the robins and roses come out;
And gay bObOlinks
And peoples and pinks.
And butterflies skimming about.
The blue-bells are ringing a chime,
And the fairies come marching in time,
Mother Goose and the rest,
In their fine Sunday best,
And dance in q rOllicking rhyme.
But 10. there's storm in the skyi
Then how the wee fairy folks fly!
And Mother Goose rings
For umbrellas and things,
And tries hard TO keep herself dry.
The birds and the blossoms look sad:
For they wore the best coats that they had
To think such a shower
Should come up in an hour!
It's really, yes really too bad!
But look! while they worry and fret
The clouds are all gone and the wet;
And the sky is as blue
And as innocent, too,
AS if it had never rained yet.
So we can not tell if we try
The signs of this dainty blue sky;
But its smile or its frOwn
Turns the house upside down
For it is the baby's blue eye.
