A crusade, which will, doubtless,
find many sympathizers in other
parts of the world, has been begun
in Berlin against piano players. Pc
titions signed by a large number of
persons have been sent to the NUM-
cipal and police authorities, setting
forth that the constant and monot-
onous prs cticlng of scales and exer-
cises by piano students has become
an intolerable nuisance, causing
much suffering to invalids, aggra-
waiting all forms Of nervous diseases
and depreciating the value of real
estate. They, therefore, claim that
it is a proper subject for the police
regulation. and pray that a NUM-

practicing to the hours between Ii

The Ceur d'AIene.

A letter written to a gentleman
in this city by p:ospector in the
new gold region gives the following
account of the outlook there;
[ have been visiting different
mines for the past week; the plscers
are very good and TOO numerous to
mention their diff aren't names; all
those that are worked are paying
well. About two weeks ago gravel
was discovered on the apex of the
mountain north Of Murrayville and
running east and west from eight to
twelve miles it is supposed to be an
old liver channel. Most of the
ground prospects well. They will
have s)me difficulty in getting
water on the ground, but
nothing stops the gold hunters.
Every inch of ground is taken
for miles, not a gulch, creek,
hillside, or tops of mountains
but what is taken ;strikes are every
where; but little work is being done
on Pritchard or Eagle Creeks on &C
COuut vi uiSu Wd5cl- 1u6 Mut1Sy
claim, on which the best part of
the town OF Murrayville is built, was
sold yesterday for $4,000. The
claim consists of ten acres. There
is but little quartz prospe citing done
and but few if any good discoveries
made Heavy timber and thick
underbrush is great hin6rance to
quartz prospecting, and to get out
of thick timber is to get out Of the
Ceur d'Alene country. These who
have left the country and reported
no god and a big fraud are mis-.
taken. The diggings are good, but
they have moro difficulties to con-
tend with than most campo. Every
hindrance imaginable to the pros
pector and miner. The town of
Murrayville is booming; lots are
selling all the wav from $500 t.
$1,000 on Main street. Bot this is
20 plscs for men who want work,
and Will not be this season.
