Peggy O'Neal. better known as Mrs.
Eaton, is recalled by Mr.. Parton in a
very readable chapter. She was the
pretty and vivaclous, but not over pru-
dent, tavern keepers daughter in
Washington. you know who became
the wife of General Jackson's Secre.
tary Of War, and In whose social be.
half the whole power of the Jackson
administration was brought to bear
with so much determination and with
such unusual consequence. The ladies
of Washington made mp their minds
with one accord that Mrs Eaton was
an improper and unworthy woman,
and that they would not cal. upon her
nor recognize her in any way as the
wife of a Cabinet minister
General Jackson took her part and
became her personal champion, using

Sampling Works.

We are reliably informed that Messrs.
r. J. Taylor and D. I'll. Foote of this
place will soon go into an extensive ore
sampling business and construct large
and commodious works at this place.
The plans for the structure, now in the
hands of contractor Joseph Hawkins,
show capacity and complete
ness as well as general con-
venienee in the contemplated build
ing such as are seldom combined in
in any similar works, and the dimen-
sions will make more spacious mill than
now exists in the country. The plant
will probably be made near Fourth
street, ON the bench between Main street
and the river, and will be constructed on
three elevations. The main building
will be 30x50, and the wing 25x30; these
in addition to sheds and bins. The
sampler will be run by steam power.
This is merited enterprise since the
establishment of such works has been
an inevitable need for the satisfaction of
those who want their ores sampled in
dependentIy of smelling works, as well
as those who may desire TO ship their
ores East from this point In most in
stances such latter miners have been
compelled to patronize the industry of a
neighboring town while there might
have existed the same character of works
in our own place and works that could
have done well and viii do we'll. Messrs.
Taylor & Foote are active, enterprising
men. both favorably known in this COM
munity as gentlemen of business quail
fications and strict integrity. We wish
them success.

The Alturas Literary.

The Alturas Literary society gave an
unusually entertaining programme last
evening and was greeted with much APP

haps 900. The chief feature of excel

Mrs M. c. McLennan. That lady is an
elocutionist such rs the society has sell

Brick Manufacturing.

La Point Bros, brick manufacturers
of this place have ordered first class
brick machine from Chicago, and expect
to have it mp ready for operation by the
first of the month. They will be enabled
to mould and press 5000 brick per day
with five laborers, and they will burn
kilns of 500.000 brick. This scale Of
manufacturing will enable them to re-
duce very considerably the cost of man
ufacturing, and the retail price of brick
will probably be put down to 50 or $40.
At this rate the material will possess a
great predominance in its utility for
large structures, and no doubt those of
our business men who contemplate
building enterprise will find it to their
interests. universally, to use brick, in
stead of wood. Several large structures
now planned will be built of brick, and
We expect to see everybody recognize
this material as far superior in appear
ance, durability, strength and security.
It will add greatly to the metropolitan
appearance of the place.
LaPoint Bros. are also contracting for
the manufacture of lime and they
have already begun to repair their
kiins.
We possess every natural advantage
for building material and there is nc
reason why there should ever be dis
satisfaction in the finish of any struct-
ure

CGUR D'ALENE STAMPEDE.
What An Old Coaster Says Of the New
Diggings.

E. B. Shaw, the well known traveller
for the Cutting Packing Co.. Of San
Francisco, arrived last evening from his
eastern trip, taking in the edge of the
C9ur d'Alene country on his way back
via the Northern Pacific Knowing Mr.
Shaw to be an experienced pioneer in
all OF the mining egcitements of the
coast, as well as keen of PERCEPTION and
sound in judgment, we interviewed him
concerning the great rush to, and the
prospects Of, the new diggings. Mr..
Shaw says that people are rushing in
| from all sides at the rate OF from 800 to
/ 500 per day and the indications are that
! it will prove one of the most universal
creating stampede through
out the East and West. A person can
not enter a hotel, saloon, baker shop or
other public resort without hearing of
the new Ell Dorado, and notable fea-
ture of the excitement is the ever present
exhibitor of specimens" which were
evidently resurrected from an old cabi-
net and are now being used to enhance
the boom. The excitement is unmis-
takably fostered by the railroad compa-
MES, and when it is learned that they
are fully confident OF moving 100, 900
persons to the mines within six months,
the inducements are clearly apparent.
Mr.. Shaw would not be surprised to see
greater number. OF the mines he has
had no personal observation, not hav-
ing been nearer to them than % miles
at Belknap--but from the best informa-
ton he could gather he has decided to
advise his friends to sswait while" and
not to be afraid of waiting too long.
OF course, those who would go there for
the purpose of specializing in cot bed
lodging houses and opodeldoc dispen-
saries cannot get there too soon. Al
Belknap lots were selling lively at from
$50 to $500. This town is on the n p.
and is owned by a syndicate and is es-
pecially favored by the railroad. All
tickets are sold to Belknap. This town
secured an iron clad" toll road right te
the mines and has about completed 6
good road which will be made perfectly
free. About 200 men were employed in
constructing it. Although few days
ago there were 5000 miners in the
country no mining worth mentioning
WAS being done, nor can there be before
June. To reach the pay-dirt it is nee
, essary to strip to the depth of from q
: to 80 feet and in places more. This
| coupled with the fact that the ground i
very fiat and covered with a dens
growth of heavy timber, will make tn
9 working of the diggings very expensive
r even if it should be proven that the gol,
is generally diffused and not IN spots
: All things considered, it need not b
surprising to learn that it is one of tn
/ most gigantic frauds ever attemted OF

THE GRAND BALL.
Fitxsimmons' Metropolitan Hall Throng-
ed with Merriment. A Very, Very
Pleasant Occaskion-Ab0ut rs
Couples In Attendance.

Early in the day yesterday private |
rigs and hacks began coming from the /
down-river towns and they continued |
to come at intervals until s o'clock P. NJ.
The grand saloon of the Metropolitan
Hall was thrown open TO the public at 3
o'clock, and the dance hall at o'clock.
The grand march was started up by
Prof. DelIus' orchestra at $40, and the
dancing then continued without cessa-
ton till the intermission at IL. Supper
was served at both the Enterprise and
Bon Ton Restaurants. The attendance
was about rs couples; not SO large as
that OF the A. o. U. w. ball on the 4th
Of December, but the occasion last
night equaled in pleasure and brilliancy
anything of the kind ever exper-
furnished by Prof. Geo. Delius' orches-
ira consisting of LIST violin, flute, cornet,,
piano and bass yiol, five pieces, was ex-
cellent. 1t occupied the new stage con-
structed at the west end of the hall. The
hall was brilliantly lighted and the new
floor first class.
A large number of visitors were in at
tendance, including Mrs. Mcconnell,
Mrs. Wheeler, Mrs. McCollum, Misses.
Poplin, Garrett, Rounds, Bradley, Mar
tin, Evans, Messrs. Campbell, Harrison,
Hodgeman, Bender, Edmunds, Rab-
john, Eastwood and Lennon, Of HALEY,
ann HRS. Huntington, Miss Landphere
and Mr.. Wedekind, of Bellevue.
Everything contributed to effect in
this event a result Of unusual enjoya-
biity. The prime features of excel
lence being fine floor and superb mu-
sic, the hall was beautifully lighted and
every convenience of dressing rooms
placed at the disposal of the attendants.
The occasion was resplendant with a
mirthful brilliancy. Everyone seemed
to realize all the soul could de-
sire of the most social nature
and the programme of dances followed
one after another without q single in
| terruption of dissatisfaction or broken
concord. No committees were appoint
| ed, but the entire management controll-
| ed by Mr.. Fitzsimmons and his assis-
tants was concise and well calculated;
casting a ray of praiseworthy success on
the ability of that gentleman. We wish
him many returns of the occasion and
| feel assured that everybody once sub
/ ject to the kind treatment of Mr.. Fitz-
simmons can never forget where to find
/ q pleasant moment.
Considering the condition of the reads
from the late thaws it is not surprising
that greater numbers did not come
/ from sister towns. However, the attend
ance was Just right for and excellent
time, all those present expressed them
selves highly pleased by the occasion

Mining at Silver City.
Idaho A ualanche.

We do not know of any time during
the past two or three years, when the
mining outlook for this country has
been brighter than now. The mines
that are being worked nearly all look
well, and will no doubt produce many
thousands of dollars during the ensuing
year.
The Empire State mine has force of
men at work, and is showing good quartz,
or decomposed quartz carrying consid-
cradle gold. Like the Black Jack. it will
be worked all winter, and will be in con-
dition to take out a large quantity of
ore, in the spring. This and the above
named mine are being worked in miner
like manner.
The recent strike in the Ruth mine
holds good, and promises to yield Messrs.
st. Clair & Peters, a good stake. A
raise has been commenced on the chute
of ore, while the drift is pushed south.
Good ore is being extracted which shows
much free gold
The Belle Peck, Immediately east of
the last named ledge, is producing good
quality OF ore. The bullion from this
! quartz is nearly all gold. The ore mills
about SO per ton. Mr.. Peck, the owner,
and an old miner, is quite sanguine that
the Belle Peck will produce great deal
/ of bullion during the ensuing year.
The Kentuck is an extension of the
4 =,
Richard Halves, who has about fifty tons
of ore on the dump. Therock or quartz
is free milling, and will yield between
/ $40 and S5a per ton.
Bruce & Co are taking very rich ore
from the Dungannon, the most contains
| gold visible to the naked eve They
! will work this lode until driven out by
surface water.
Messrs. Hansen & Jones are extracting
ore similar in character to the last they
had milled from the South Chariot
which yielded st4I per ton. By spring
they will have out enough for good
| crushing.
i Hicks & Co. continue to extrac. fine
milling ore from the War Eagle ledge.
and now have 100 tons on the dump. and
ore yard at Sands mill. The quartz is
expected to mill not less than $50 per
ton, and perhaps it will go more.
Messrs. MORRISON & Shaw now have
ON the dump of the Red Jacket about
100 tons of choice ore, which is being
increased daily. AS work is being pros
ecuted upon the ledge the better it
shows, aud there is every reason to be-
lieve that the owners have a bonanza
