Last Monday morning the freight
and emigrant train due here from
the east met with an accident almost
within the city limits to the east.
1t appears thatthe rear trucks Of a
freight car a few cars ahead Of the
coach jumped from the rails, and
was hauled along for some distance
when the car dropped to the ground,
stopping the train. Strange to say,
none Of the balance Of the cars were
thrown from the track, and the car
broke down within a short distance
of a long trestle. Had the cap gone
over the trestle the passenge: coach
would inevitably have followed, and
loss Of life would have resulted.
The road was blOckaded for several
hours, but the wrecked fain was re-
moved without any loss beyond the
delay Of trims

From the Mines.
The reports from the gold fields
this week are necessarily meagre, as
travelling to and from the mines is
anything but a pleasant underta-
king. However the vigor of winter
and the rCughness of the trip does
not deter persons from striking out
for the mines. People leave this
city and other points on the road
daily and in spite Of cold, snow or
any other impediment manage to
reach the goal of their desires.
Judge w. Abbott Lewis returned
Thursday from Il trip to Evolution,
a point halfway between the Mis-
sion and Eagle City. He gives US a
lively account Of the condition of
things on the route, his observations
not extending into the mineral
fields. lie says that there is a con-
tinual flow Of humanity into the dig
gins. He made the trip as far as he
reached with much trouble aud none
Of the luXuries of railroad travel.
He rode IA cayuse when riding was
possible, hoofed it at other places,
and dragged the animal, or was tow
ed by the beast, at other times.
There was some fun, hut a great deal
of serious draw backs about the trip.
Indeed the Judge is not prepared
to repeat the voyage once a week
just for the amusement attached
thereto. lie tells US that he met 65
persons on the way in the day he
turned the nose of his horse home
ward. The methods Of travel were
varied. Some were proud enough
to ride while others were cOntented
with foot passage. The trail from
Evolution to Eagle City has not been
plssable for pack trains for some
time, but a well beaten path has
been made by travellers. All along
the road are mile stones oOf disap-
pOintment and acknowledgement.
Hand sleds, bob sleds and goods Of
various kinds are scattered along the
road and abandoned, showing that
the owners had given them up after
fruitlcss endeavOrs to get the prop
erty through. At one place he saw
a wagon loaded with goods run out
to one side and left in the snow.
When bent upon reaching the mines
men will throw away everything
buthope, and that one thing accel-
crates travel. Judge Lewis found
men everywhere only waiting
the first break up to rush to
the front. 1t is unwise in people at
tempting to reach the mines at this
time in the year. No work can be
done, and living is very high, and
nothing to brag Of at the best. Ad-
vice in such matters falls cOldly upon
the ears Of those blinded by their
engerness for gold, but it costs moth
ing to give it. The universal Opin-
ion is that the travel to the mines
at the earliest possible date in the
spring will surplSs even the high
est figures yet quoted. All Of the
towns in the northwest have already
/ felt the effects uf the new excite
mcnt. Up to the present date it has
been worth thousands Of dollars to
this city. That reaction in business
circles heretofore noticeable after the
holidays has not occurred this win
ter BesincSS has held its own
through the entire winter, and is
picking up, and this is due to the
money spent here by those en-rOutc
to CGur dAlenc. The business is
found to increase from now on and
with the movements now ON foot
there is no reason to doubt but that
. Spokane Falls will reap rich har-
| vest from the excitement.

to make amends for our shortCOm-

RS who had adjoining farms. The
one brother ha Il large family, The
hrother with large family said
"There is my brother with no fam

try to cheer him up, and | will take
some OF the sheaves from my field in
the nighttime and set them over on
MS Farm and say nothing about it,"
Toe other said: "My brother has a
large family, and it is very difficult
Ior nm to support them, and | will
help him along, and l will take some
ol the sheaves from my farm in the
nighttime and set them over on his
iarm, and say nothing about IT," So
The work of transferring went on
night after night but every morning
things seemed to be just as they were;
for though sheaves were subtracted
from each farm, sheaves had also been
added, and the brothers were per-
picked and could not understand,-
But one night the brothers happened
