something better to say: "I wonder
if tn It girl wears a breakfast shawl
to the opera because she likes it, or
if it is because she can't afford a

"That girl could afford to wear twen-
ty opera cloaks, if she wanted too;
don't you know who she is?" ''No,"
said l, "is she anyhody?" "Well,
that big Gcrman-looking man sit
ting by her side is her father and his
name is Henry Willard, and his
business the Northern Pacific Rail-

the spring and there is good wagon
transportation from Spokane Falls
and Rathdrum to Coeur d'Alene,
also stage lines. Spokane Falls is
the largest supply and outfit depot.
Supplies can also be had at Occur
d'Alene. Emigrants will have no
trouble in getting supplies at those
places or any information or trans
portation desired. l would advise
none to come before spring opens as
the snow falls very deep. Last win

Of last March, and much deeper on

hard to get in and with the emigra-
tioh that is going in there will be
suffering before spring opens, unless
many come out again. Those that
go should go well prepared.

Before the Hale & NOrcross fight
came on-this is tradition almost
there arrived in town a Gilapidated
miner who had worked in the mine:
He was pretty badly down apparent
ly but he went into a brokers' office,
and, fter Icing told to get out as a
tramp, he said he thought a good
deal Of Hale d NOTcrOss, and wanted
to invest, a trifling sum in it. Two
feet, ut Sl7j, were brought for him;
and he gave the certificate to the
broker, saying that he was going
down to Mexico prospecting and he
would like to leave it behind to be
dealt with as the broker saw fit. He
was not heard of for months. Hale
4 NOrcross was up to $4,000 a foot.
-Une morning IRE broker round the
dilapidated miner on his doorstep
when he came down to business.
The miner rose and said:
"Well, Pm here. / thought I'd

out, but, but l am down an l amt

gave him So to go and get bath and

"Sit down and wait minute. Plt
make up your count presently ?"
He left the dilapidatel man on the
edge Of chair He came back with
check and sent his clerk down to
the bank. A clerk returned with a
big bag of gold. The poor devil
watched the proceedings with mis-
cradle Indifference. The gold was
all stacked upon the counter.
"Look here. I've sold your two
feet Of Hale & NOrcross for S25, eco
and here's your money"

eight men on a claim, nd four other
men were also engaged IN changing
water'cOurse. Following u0 Prich-

miles out of. Eagle City, we came
upon the Mother lead, d QUARTZ

quartz ledge runs in a northwest and
southwest direction, crossing Prich-

exposed from which several nuggets
were taken, pounded right out of

w III ldNlOT, lne son Ol lne present

II good deal like other boys while at
school in his old home at Hudson,
Wis. One day he called his father
into the library and said:
"Pa, | don't like to tell you, but
the teacher and | have had trouble"
whats the matter now ?"
"Wcll, cut one Of the desks lit
tie with my knife, and the teacher
says Pve got topay dollar for it or
take lickin'."
Well, why don't YOU take the
licking and say nothing about it d?
can stand considerable physical
pain 50 long us it visits our family in
that form. of course it Is not pleas
ant to he flogged, but you have
broken a rule Of the school and
guess you'll have to stand it. pre-
sumo that the teacher will in wrath
remember mercy and avoid disab-
ling you so that you can't get your
coat on any more"
"But, pl, feel mighty bad about
it already, and If you'd ply my fine
I'd never do it again. l know o
good deal more about it now and
will never do it again. A dollar amt
much to you, pa, but it's a heap to a
hoy that hasn't got cent. IfIcould
make a dollar as easy as you can, pa,
I'd never let my boy get flogged that
way just to save a dollar. If l had a
little feller that got licked bekuz
didn't put uD for him I'd hate the
sight Of money always. I'd feel as
If avnrV dollar I IA ID in lsas-s packet
was taken out of my little kids
hack"
"Well, now, I'll tell you VIII It PI
do. I'll give you a dollar to save
yon from punishment this time, but
If anything Of this kind occurs again
I'll hold you while the teacher lirks
you, and then I'll get the teacher to
hold you while lick you. That is
the way feel about that. II you
want to go around whiting up our
educational institutions you can do
50; but you will have to Purch So
them afterwards yourself. l don't
propose to buy any more damaged
school furniture. You probably
grasp my meaning, do you not? |
send you to school to acquire an ed
ucatiOn, not to acquire liabilities so
that you can come around and make
an assessment on me. feel a great
interest you, Willie, hut l do not
feel rs though it should be an ASSESS
able interest. l want to go on, Of
course, and improve the property,
but when pay my dues on it want
to know that it goes toward develop

sesSment to go toward the purchase
Of Il school desk with American
hieroglyphics carved on it. l hope
you will bear this in mind, my son,
and beware. If Iwere in your place
! would put in large portion of my
time in the beware business"
The boy took the dollar and went
thoughtfully away to school, and no
more was ever said about the mat
ter until Mr.. Taylor learned causual-
ly several months liter that the
Spartan youth hadl received the vol.
Looping and filed away the dollar for
future reference. The boy was af.

he said, but he favored a fine of five

little information, proposing to let
them hunt a little for themselves,
and in the winter wrote to some Of
my friends, one Of them a man that
had correspOnded with ever since
coming to the country, he knowing
what had found long before any
one else and was only waiting the
time that should say come, conse-
quently the stampede Of 's3.
From Post C9ur dAlene to the
mouth OF CGur dAlcne river, the
distance is about 30 miles, lies Lake
CGur d'Alene. The country from
Lake COeur d'Alcne to the old Mis-
sion is quite fiat, there being very
little fall in the stream, the distance
about 80 miles, the bottoms from one
to three miles in width andfrequently
intersperced with small lakes. The
land is Of a black loan and very rich
and is good hay land, but at present
is held Us an Indian reservation.
Above the Mission the stream has
more fall, about an mile current,
and the bottom narrower from one
fourth to mile In width, and the
greater portion covered with heavy
timber, much of which has been
killed by fire and fallen down, which
makes it very difficulty in exploring
the country, as the underground and
brush among the fallen timber makes
it very unpleasant. The mountains
are generally very rough, mostly
cOveIe with timberand brush. ~ G
mineral belt is from 80 to 100 miles
in length by 40 or 50 in width. Lodes
Of quartz cropping out and showing
very numerous throughout the en-
tire belt, and the indi 'ations OF
placer diggings showing very ex-
tensive, rs there are many creeks
and gulChes that show good pros
poets. The country is very extern
sive and but little prospected, yet
the country Is hIrd to prospect on
account Of brush and fallen timber.
1t will take some time and a great
amount Of labor to develop the coun.
try and those who feel disposed ia
work and prospect for chance ia
better their fortunes, need not be
afraid for there has never been d
country opened in the Rocky Ran.
ges that has showed better prospects
for rewarding the industrious pros.
pector or searcher after the preciou.
metals. AS the field is large and
hut little explored none need be
afraid that all is taken, yet discov.
cred. Prichard and Eagle creeks
are but n drop in the bucket The
formation in general is hlrd slate
with an occasional streak Of granite
until you get near the head Of the
streams bordering the summit or high
mountains, where it shows parphrey
and lime in places. There is plenty
Of timber and water and the cUnve-
nien are good for mining plrpo 'es.
The conveniences at present for
transportation are poor as there are
only pack trails a portion ofthe way
although there can be made a good
road up the North fork Of the Occur
PAlene and several places over the
Mountains which undoubtedly will
be built the coming seasOn. They
are building steam boats at Occur
PAlene intending 10 run up the
