Present Condition of the n. a.. r.
Track and the PrOSuect.


PALIsADE, March CO. p. M.-The
bridges and track are impossible, as they
are completely under water, and ii would
not be safe to venture over either. 1t has
been raining at intervals during the day.
When it first commenced to rain there was
IL TO 2 feet Of snow on the hard frozen
ground. The water seems to be falling,
but it will undoubtedly be two or three
days before trains can be run regularly.
In the meantime, trains will be passed as
soon as the track can be found.
LATER-Unexpectedly, but to the de-
light of everybody, the train came in last
night, reaching the depot at $3.50. Its
arrival not being looked for, there was no
wagon or bus in waiting, and 1t was not
till an hour later that the mail and ex-
press were brought up to town. In 20
minutes afterwards the mail was dis
tributed and all who came got their mis-
sives. The news telegraphed above from
Palisade does not seem to have been sent
on accurate information Of the situation.
1t appears that Supt. Gilman and his force

track from this end to the Hay Ranch so as to
make it temporarily passable, and hitching
on to the full train, due here Tuesday
night, brought it in with the engine from
Eureka, as stated. Conductor Crowley, it
now turns out, on his way back to Palisade
from the Hay Ranch Tuesday night, was
hindered by q break from reaching Pal
isade. Trying, then, to return to the
Ranch, he encountered another break; so
that he was cut off between the two places
with his engine and could reach neither.
A hsndcar was sent for him from the
Ranch, and he was bridged over, leaving
his engine in statu quo, and he
came in On the train last night.
The road from here to the Ranch
is not substantially repaired, and there
are two bad breaks between the Hay
Ranch and Pslisade. We understand that
no passenger or mail car will be run out
to-day, but only a construction train.
This will leave as early to-day as prepare
tions can be made. 1t does not look now
as though q train can be got through to
Palisads for two or three days, and proba-
bly, longer. The whole country along the
route is one vast quagmire. A man left
Pine Station yesterday in a light wagon
drawn by a pair of horses for Eureka, but
he had not fairly started before the horses
got into q bog. They had to be unhitched,
and the wagon was left standing in the
road.

MORE CEUR D'ALENE.
Further Information for Those who
Have the Fever.

A Leadville mar writes as follows to the
Denver Republican, under a recent date,
from Trout Greek, as follows:
Here / am at last. at the wonderful town
OF Trout Greek. This country, as far as l
have seen, seems to raise a considerable
crop Of snow. At this point it is about 40
feet on a level. / suppose the C9ur
d'Alene fever is still raging in Leadville.
To any OF your friends who intend coming
here, tell them to leave the cars at Trout
Creek, as this is the only practicable route
to the mines at present. Eagle City is
about 80 miles from here. Twenty or
80 men leave here daily for the mines.
Men coming from Leadville or any other
point are foolish to buy their outfit before
leaving. as they can buy everything they
want here at reasonable figures. Flour is
81 per 100 weight. Fresh beef, 10k cents
by the side; retails for Is cents. Bacon, 16
cents; ham, 20 cents; butter, 40 cents;
canned goods of all kinds at IS cents, and
everything else in proportion. l guess
l nave told you enough about Trout
Greek, SO l will start on the
mines. Everything l can hear at
this place from men who have been there
is very encouraging, the best evidence
being their anxiety to return as soon as
they buy their supplies. They make the
trip without a load in ten hours. There
are several places on the trail where a man
can stay over night, but they all agree
that there is no mining being done at
present. The fabulous reports you hear
are false. Everybody agrees that there is
gold, but I have not seen one man who
took the gold out himself; it is always
some one else. Every foot of ground is
located, and there is likely to be lively
times in Spring, as first locators staked 20
acres. Since the big riot q Miners
Union has been formed, and the size of
claims has been changed. Everything at
Eagle City is very high. There are 1000
people there. Intend to start tomorrow
and see for myself.

Speculative Mania.

Peck's Sum Advises with q Youth of
Speculative Mania.
A young man writes to the Sun as fol-
lows:
II am a book-keeper in q wholesale
house, on a salary Of 81, 200 a year, and 1
have $500 laid up. l want to make some
money, and / have thought some of specu-
lating a little in wheat or Cork. / know
several young men in my position who
have made quite a little money in specu-
lating, and / have been tempted to invest
several times, but have not yet been able
to get up courage TO take my $500 out of
the bank and put it in the hands of a COM
mission house. What would you advise
me to do? l have guessed on the market
several times, and have guessed right, and
il l had my money on my guesses, / would
nave made considerable. Now, tell me
honestly, because ! know your have specu-
lated, and know all about it."
Young man, go and look at POUR $500
and see if it is there yet. All, it is all safe,
is it, Looked sort of good, didn't it ?
Made you feel proud when you saw it.;
proud that you had earned it by hard
work? Well, if You had twice the amount,
won st gambling, or in wheat speculations,
you would not think half as much of it as
you do of this first $500. You don't ever
think now of spending this money
foolishly. 1t represents to you hard
work coined into dollars. If you
had accumulated it without work in
speculation. and it came easy, you would
be looking for a horse that could beat the
crowd on the avenue in less than a week.
You would be spoiled if you accumulated
money easy, and ruined if you lost your
five hundred. You keep right OIL keeping
books, and keeping them well, and forget
that five hundred, except to draw the in
terest regular, or unless you see q piece of
first-class. solid property, that is offered
cheap. But don't you ever put u dollar
on wheat and pork, expecting to win, for
you will lay down your bundle sooner or
later, and wake up with a headache. This
is not the advice of one who ever specula-
ted a dollar, or who ever will, but one who
has been watching those who do speculate
for Is years. Not one in q hundred of
them but has lost. Those who have won
are no better off, because they have worn
themselves out watching the market and
cursing their luck. 1t is a business that
only should be done by rich men for
amusement. The rich can lose and not
feel it, though some of them kick pretty
hard when they lose. But the poor, those
who are depending on their labor, either
of hands or brain, should never indulge in
an amusement that makes even the rich
wish they were dead. What you van to
do, young man, is to forget that there is
any chance for you to indulge in specula-
ton, for if you go into it, you will curse
the day that you did. Now, don't ask any
more questions, but go on posting those
books.

San Francisco Intelligence.
SAN Francisco, March 6.-The Chinese
cigar makers have, through a Chinese
paper, published an article in which they
defy the Lockout Association, and refuse
to return to work for 81 q day. They say
that since the Americans have made q law
not allowing any more Cinnamon to come
to the United States, and as every branch
OF industry is now being developed on a
wider basis than before, they, therefore,
must reap their part of the profits. "Hit
or miss either way, be of good cheer; our

nese are increasing u wages. Are you

Aleck Dietrichsen, a saloon-keeper on the
San Leandro road, about four miles from
Oakland, was shot and killed last night by
William Scullard. The crime was the re-
suit of a quarrel through Dietrichsen for
bidding Scullard's brother to enter his
saloon. Dietrichsen was noted for his
great strength, and is the man who wanted
to stand up before Sullivan for four
rounds.
Charles PercivaI Shot.
SAN FRANCISCO, March 6.-The name Of

Charles Percival, and not Victor Sevain, as
previously announced.

OLD OFFENDERS.
A Q%uintette Of Jail Birds Brought
Home to kOost.

Yesterday afternoon Officers McGovern
and Mckay arrested the following men on
the charge of house breaking or grand
larceny, we don't know which, but OF both
Of which f~elonies they seem to be clearly
guilty: Andrew Casanchi cold Casatch'),
Florentino Ruellas, Mike Norton, Antonio
Martinez ("Old Antone") and Dan Ware.
They are charged with entering the pow
~der-house OF Remington. johnson d Co.,
and selling about town some $50 worth OF
giant powder caps which they stole there
from. Among the innocent purchasers Of
the caps are Supt. Read, X. Sadler nj ID.
Kind. The thieves disposed OF their
plumber at q liberal discount, asking only
40 cents per box for the caps, the market
value OF which ia 10 cents per box. 1t was
by this they were suspected and finally
jailed, after other proof had been obtained
against them. 1t appears that they have q
key with which they opened the powder
house door. After making the haul,
which was enough to supply their imme-
date wants, they relocked the door and
went away, leaving everything IN order.
The first four of the men named are old
Jail birds. "Casatch" is the old fellow
who was shot through the thigh by Oficer
Tickell some time ago. 1t is only at In
t~ervals that he is out Of the cooler.
Ruellas is one OF the two brothers who
we're arraigned for stealing Andrew Ben
sons cattle. He was released and his brother
Flurentia Ruellas comes up Tor trial
on that charge June 1. "Antone" some
time ago served 90 days in the ~calaboose
for stealing an empty milk can, and later
he was In go days for purioining the hall
of q hog from a Chinese restaurant. While
the officers were taking in the quintette
yesterday they had their hands full, and
MIR. Sadier and Mr.. Kind came to their
relief. The former gentleman, with a six
foot club in hand, marched Antoine In
front OF him up Main street, while the
latter brought up the rear loaded with the
stolen caps, to be used In evidence against
the rogues. The officers we're after a
sixth man last night, who they think was
in with the gang on the steal.

The Final show.

The Raymond Holmes Company played
last night to a very small audience; but it
must be said to their credit that they went
through the performance honestly and
with as much spirit as though they had
had a crowded house in front of them.
In the second part Mr.. Holmes appeared
as "Moriarity." The howls Of laughter
that greeted his attitudes, gestures and
facial contortions made people on the out
aide of the hall think that there must have
been as big an audience as IN the first
night. The acting and song were i'm
mense. .The Torpedo and the Whale"
went off we'll. as did '.Kate Csstleton."
The people of Eureka have every reason
to be gratihed with the faithful and excel
lent performances OF the company. That
thew are embarrassed in their engagements
bv being detained here is q source OF gen.
eral regret.

Mr.. Foley Makes a speech.

The Enterprise reports Hon. M. D.
Foley as saying in the meeting OF the
Republican State Central Committee last
Monday:
Eureka is better than she has been for
wears. We shall next Fall poll a larger
vote than ever. I claim Eureka as the
banner Republican county. When Senator
Fair sent his $25, 900 over to our county
he never gained a vote from us. But 1t
was very different with Lander and other
counties. Eureka stood true and steadfast.
