The National Republican at Washington,
in speaking Of the growth of that city,
gives its size at different periods since IL
was founded When John Adams closed
his term in 1900 it was S,144, about the
size OF Worcester, in Massachusetts. In
1910 it had reached 15.471. a population
less than that Of Youngstown. In 1890,
at the compromise, it contained over
23, 900, or was about twice as large as
Tifen. In 1880 il was q little larger
than Erie is now, and between 1850 and
1860 il reached the present size Of Toledo.
Between 1860 and 1870 1t was almost
doubled, reaching 131, 700 at the latter
date. During the last census decade II
added more than 6 1000, and in 1880 its
size was 1T, 624. With the same ratio o.
increase in 1900 the city will number 239-

A Feat.

t. Stevens, an English bicyclist, crossed
the Oakland ferry from San Francisco
Tuesday, at 8 A. M. to ride his bicycle
through to New York, and if he goes
through all right will undertake the cir
cult Of the world by overland route
through Europe and Asia. He has a con-
siderable wager on the time to be made
between here and New York, but thinks 1t
pure speculation, depending more on the
weather, the roads and luck than on a
mans capacity for speed. He has an un-

Ira Paine.

The American marksman, Ira Paine,
whose wonderful shooting at the gallery
Of Gastienne Renetti, in the Avenue
d'Antin,t has recently attracted many
Parisians of note, and who drew crowds to
his performances at the Folies Bergeres, is
now exhibiting his skill at the Canterbury
Theater Of Varieties in London. The Lon
don Standard says of him: ellis frame is
admirably suited to the accomplishment
of such feats of nerve and steadiness OF
aim as he nightly undertakes. He has
shoulders of great width and is as firm as
a rock, this qualification, added to his
certainty Of eye. rendering him as accu-
rate as a piece Of machinery. Nothing
less, indeed, is requisite for such tasks as
hitting q nut placed on the head Of q young
lady"

or for wood River.

Yesterday about noon a party OF four
Ruby Hill miners left Eureka for Wood
River in a stout wagon drawn by two
horses. The bed and running gear are
made from an old Ruby Hill stage. or
rather is simply n of those stages Gu,
down. 1t looked a little heavy, but is just
the thing for the bad roads. The travellers
are John Roswarn, s. J. Roswarn, Jr.,
John Rumfrey and Richard Csrwithan
Their route is through Ruby Valley by the
way OF Humboldt Wells. and they expect
10 reach their destination, Haley or Belle
vue, in about a fortnight.

what n Nugget SaysOf h stories
About the Dfggings.
We have lately been publishing articles
that declare the Caur d'Alene country a
fraud. The last number OF the Nugget.
published at Eagle City, is before us, and
we quote the following from it for what
it may be worth. The Nugget deals too
much in generalities. II ought to give
more facts and figures. This is what ii
says:
The newspapers of the country are en-
joying themselves greatly in running
down the Ceur d'Alene mines. 1t would
be folly to attempt to reply to any par
ticular n Of the many petty falsehoods
which are being gratuitously circulated
to injure the camp. In a few cases the
journals that first published the items
got the basis Of their articles from in
terviews with irresponsible men who have
been here and got broke, and who vent
their spite against this country by tell
ing outrageous lies. But these cases con-
stitute small proportion. The
greater part OF the untruths is
manufactured by interested journalists.
They are deceiving the public. They are
perpetrating q fraud that cannot fail to be
exposed. Only a few Of the claims on
Pritchard creek have been opened up. But
of the entire number from Doc Campbelps
to the Butte claim, not a single one has
failed TO yield big pay. If outside papers
are relying upon the fact that mining ex-
elements are at best 9 gamble, and that
by running down the district they may
gain a certain credit in case the Ceur
d'Alene is a losing card, they will find that
they are coppering the Judgment of the
best mining experts, the Oldest pros
pectors, and the most experienced
miners. Every days development in
the mines goes to prove that the gulch is
immensely rich, and demonstrates that
the placers will pay. Every days search
among the hills discovers new lodes, and
demonstrates that our lodges are we'll de-
fined and exceedingly valuable. Idaho
papers may rant, Leadville journals may
rave, and Comstock sheets may croak
themselves hoarse, but the truth will
triumph over all. There is plenty of good
dirt in this district, and large numbers Of
good lodges, and those who are lucky
enough to get hold Of the better classes Of
mining property will make fortunes.

Paradise Mine.

Silver State: The Paradise Valley m il
is running and the mines look well. Great
trouble has been experienced this Spring
in keeping the roads in repair, in conse-
quence OF the unprecedented storms, and
It has been almost impossible to get ore to
the mill. For some time past no ore has
been hauled from the Wild Goose, and
there are several hundred tons Of ore that
will average 500 to the ton On the dumps
at that mine. 1t is probable that the COM
pany will declare another dividend shortly.
