PADDING OUT,


When nature has been miserly in
giving contour and beautiful SYM
metry to the "human form divine"
art steps In and by few manipula-
tiOns remedies the deficit, and with
such nicely that it surprises even old
nature herself. We might make the
same application to our natty little
city. While the creator of territory,
corner lots, and town sites got up a
job that could not be eXcelled when
he gave shape to the land upon which
Spokane Falls is situated, yet the
laws of mathematics as eXpOunded
through the surveyors transit and
chain, demanded that certain grades
he established and the streets to be
filled out or cut down, as the case
might be, to conform with the en-
gineer's figures. The gravelly ma
ture of the soil makes street build
ing Il comparatively easy undertake
ing, and saves the heavy expense
that other places are compelled to
undergo to macadamize or pave. Up
to the present season very little
street work had been done in this
city, excepting through individual
eXertions, but now the city fathers
have taken the matter in hand and
the town witnesses a perfect carnival
of dirt singing. The plow, and
scraper, and shovel are being piled
with vicious activity and the change
wrought upon the town plat is re-
markably striking. While the streets
previous to the encroachment of the
Cxcavating tools were good for trav-
cl and attractive to the eye, yet two
weeks work has accomplished a
great improvement. Large gangs
of men have been constantly en-
ployed rasping off the surface where
the swell required a reduction and
padding the depressions until the
streets have taken on a systematic
appearance, thus adding very ma
terially to the looks of the burg, TAX
ing it in the concrete. Riverside
ave, through the transformating me-
dium of muscle, is now as fine
highway as can be found in the ter
ritory. If the proposed road way
along the brink of the river and on
in a circuitOus route about the city
is ever completed as proposed this
avenue will loom up as a drive that
cannot be surpassed anywhere. Front
street has also been greatly improved
and where formerly impossible is
now a graded thoroughfare. Some
heavy work was necessary TO bring
Front street down to any degree of
respectability. The tenacious rock,
that forms one Of the leading ingre-
'lients in its composition, would only
let go at the invitation of liberal
charges of powder, and the bang Of
blasts have filed The air for some
time. Everything had to go, how
ever, aud uniformity of grade has
been reached. Howard, Main and
other streets have had an application
of the shovel brigade, much to their
advantage. With fine, clean, uni
form streets, new houses both frame
and brick, and streets crowded with
vehicles and pedestrians Spokane
Falls reaches out and takes the
doughnut.

Charley Merriman has always en-
loved large patronage ever since
he opened his chop house, partially
owing TO his popularity and largely
to the excellent meals that have
been served up in his establishment.
OF late the call for grub has grown
so clamorcus and the demand for
standing room was so largely in
creased that the prosperous Charles

Esmeralda County Items.

The following items Of interest are
taken from the Walker Lake Bulletin
Of last Wednesday:
Lew Stoner has two men at work on
his mine in Coon Hollow.
Lang has put fine boat on the lake
for the accommodation Of his patrons.
Such crops as are now seen in Mason
Valley were never known in this locali-
ty before.
The new smelter at Paradise, which
is to start up next Monday, has 900 tons
of ore on hand to commence with.
Charles Martin, of Mason Valley,
was kicked by horse on the 18th inst.
and badly used up. He is now out of
danger.
George Courtemarch, who had his
leg broken by the kick of a mule a week
ago last Monday, is able to be about on
clutches.
The people of Smith and Mason Val
lies are paying attention this year to
stock, as they have no good market for
their hay and grain.
1t is estimated that the fruit crop on
Angus McLeod's Mason Valley ranch
will amount to twenty tons, and Henry
Purcell and others will have all they
can use.
Hawthorne has large crop of mea-
sizes. Some families have them SO large
and red that they can almost be picked
off like raspberries and eaten with sugar
and cream.

Change of Teachers.

John E. Bray has been elected Prin-
cipal Of the Gold Hill schools, at a sal
AIRY Of $3.50 per month. 1t is understood
that Mr.. Bray has accepted the position
and with a change of teachers in the
Dayton school, many Of the school
quarrels that have been going on in the
county will be dropped. Mr.. Bray has
no doubt been an excellent teacher, and
has brought the school up to high
standard. He has had the school for
the past five years which is proof that
he is competent. 1t makes but little
difference, however, whether a man is
competent or not, he is bound to have
more or less trouble where there is such
a variety of opinion as there is in this
community. The shorter time teach
er is retained after dissensions arise in
school the better. Many have express
ed the opinion that with change of
teachers in both departments serenity
will again reign in our community, at
least as far as school matters ase cor
cerned.

The Fourth In Dayton.

Little has been done towards making
preparations for observing the Fourth in
our town in a betting manner. The
boys at the Rock Point mill, however,
have managed to arrange the following
programme, which if we'll carried out

Ceremonies:
The procession will organize within

it will march to the Ophr dam, or any
other dam; thence along the filth prin-

place:

A GnnaI lsrManecI.

A letter received from Judge Seawell
by a gentleman OF this place. gives
quite an encouraging report of one Of
his prospects at Aurora, Esmeralda
county. The name OF the mine is the
Esmeralda, and it is situated about a
mile and half from the town Of Aur o.
ra, at an altitude Of $3.50 feet. A few
men are at work on the claim now, and
some of the ore taken from the face as
seys very we'll. The assays made run
from SII7.73 to $4Iz.92 in silver and
gold, the silver predominaling. Prepa-
rations are being made to put 100 tons
Of the rock through Gov. Blasdell's 20
stamp mill which is now running. The
cost of hauling and crushing will be
about SI2 per ton. 1t is thought that
there are about 500 tons of ore in sight
now. In 1864 rock was worked from
this mine that milled only 500, and the
charges for hauling and crushing were
about $50 per ton. The ledge in this
mine is between 80 and 40 feet wide,
with a pay streak of from "a to "a
feet Of good free milling ore.

California would be just where she is
