Late news from the Occur d. Alene
mines is received to the effect that
very deep SHOWS have lallen at Eagle
City and in the mountains, so that
it is only with the greatest difficulty
that men can get in. The trails are
almost impossible. There is much
privation and suffering. Men are
freezing in their vain attempts to get
in. Two letters direct from Eagle
City, both announce that men were
going there in such numbers as to
cause suffering. The weather was
stormy, rough and bitterly cold on
the mountains, and men on the trails
were freezing. Relief parties were
being sent out from the mines to meet
these frost bitten men and take them
back. The snow in the mines is very
deep. No work can be done till June,
and but little gold can be taken out
till July. If the gravel in the mining
region was one half gold, not one in
a hundred would realize fortune
There are 1900 now in the mines, and
perhaps 5000 on the way, and they can
do nothing when they get there but
sit around and eat provisions which
cost 81 per pound.

The late Legislature made fearful
blunder in an attempt to amend the
law exempting certain property from
execution. Sec. 347 of the code form
erly made II exemptions, of wearing
apparel, libraries, beds and bedding
household utensils, stock, farming
tools, mechanics tools, boats, teams,
hay, grain, etc, necessary for persons
to live, or carry on business, in no
case exceeding $500 in value. Now
all these exemptions are swept away,
and the sheriff can take on execution
the coat off a mans back, the tools of
any mechanic, in fact anything and
everything he can lay his hands on
In the effort to make an amendment
the whole section was repealed by
the substitution of the following:
Az ACT TO AMEND SECTION 347 OF THE
CODE or WASHINGTON.
Section !. Be il enacted, etc, That
section 347 Of the Code Of Washington,
1881. be amended to read as follows:
To teamster or drayman engaged in
that business for the support Of him
self or his family, his team, consisting
of one span OF horses, mules or oxen or
a horse and mule, with harness, one
wagon. truck, cart or dray
Sec. .. This act to take effect and be
in force from and after tsapproval.
1t is claimed that the above section
will not even effect the exemption
intended by IT, as it is so incomplete
in its terms, and that now there is no
exemption law whatever The result
OF this blunder is not very creditable
to the dscernment of the Judiciary
committee which should have avoided
such a mistake.

How Watch Cases are Made.

A plate of SOLID GOLD IA 2-10 karats
fine is soldered on each side of a plate of
hard nickel composition metal, and the
three are then passed between polished
steel rollers. From this plate the various
parts of the cases-backs, centers, bezels, etc.
are cut and shaped by dies and formers.
The gold is thick enough to admit of all
kinds of chasing, engraving. and engine
turning: The composition metal gives it
needed strength, stiffness and solidity, while
tue ,prittea guarantee of the manufacturers
udrranting each case to wear twcnty years
proves that it contains all the gold that
can possibly be needed. This guarantee
is given from actual results, as many of
these cases have been worn perfectly smooth

THE New York San recently printed
Cleveland's letter of acceptance along
side of that of Tilden's of '76, and
points out striking similarity between
the two documents. II cutely remarks
in an editorial, that Cleveland thought
to lend dignity and logic to his letter
by thoroughly studying that of Mr..
Tilden and then patterning his after it.
On this point itsays:
1t was perhaps cloudy sense OF
these surface resenblances that led Mr..
CLEVELAND to study with great care Mr..
IILDEN's speech accepting the nomina-
ton in 1876 before he himself ventured
to make reply to the gentlemen who
notified him of the action of the Con-
vention of 1884. Did he believe that
by using almost precisely the same
number of words in his response to the
Committee on Notification he could
make himself another TLDEN in their
eyes? Apparently Mr.. CLEVELAND
counted tho words in Mr.. TLpEN's
speech and measured his own utter.
ances accordingly. Did he believe that
by employing many OF the nouns and
adjectivcs which he found in Mr.. Til.
DENIS address he could keep up an illu-
sion so ilattering to himself and to the
prospects of the party? Possibly. We
print the two speeches side by side
and every reader will find curious in,
tercst i'll the comparison.
There is one thing that Mr.. Cleve-
land could not acquire by five hundred
perusals of the words uttered by Mr.
Tilden on a similar OCCASION. He could
notappropriate and render part of him,
self the clear apprehension of what the
work of reform really means and the
profound appreciation of the difficulties
and responsibilities of the task which
makes luminous every sentence of the
statesman s speech.
