Feeling that the time had arrived
for making known to the world the
opportunities presented by Eastern
Washington territory in general and
Spokane Falls in particular to capital
lists and men Of energy in the over
crowded east II has been decided
upon to issue a work entirely devO-
ted to that section, in which plain
unvarnished facts will be given.
This work is to appear in the shape
Of an Illustrated book, and will be
valuable guide to the settler and
tourist, and will draw immediate at
tention to this comparatively new
country. Every point Of interest
will be touched upon at length,
several well-knOwn gentlemen con-
tributlng special articles, historic
and descriptive. Already our peo-
pie have evineed a deep interest in
the work, and many copies have
been spoken for. We are able to
state that the book will be no cheap,
hasty advertising dodge, but a COM
prehensive apd exhaustive work. II
Is only necessary to cay in this con-
nection that Mr.. A. @. Ansell, an
experienced and talented writer will
superintend the compilation Of the
main portion Of the book to give Il
character and prestige among the
business men Of the city. With al
due courtesy to others who have
written Of the Northwest, and don,
much to present its advantages t.
the people Of the country, we mus
say that the promised book will b
far superior to all heretofore pub
llshed, as It is the latest, the country
is better known, and the city itsel
has made that advancement thai
early writers little imagined woulC
take place for years to come.

The Washington FdrB1eT, publish
ed at Yakima, Washington territory,
has in its plant press that crossed
the Missouri in 1850, and was used
by Mr.. Leigh r. Freeman in pub
fishing the Frontier Lnder in fifteen
towns and two military garrisons,
virtually leading the progress OF civ
iIIzation from the Missouri river to
the Pacific ocean, which gives it the
prestige OF performing a service to
the westward march Of empire new
er rrndered by any other printing
press in the country. II deserves Il
place in the New Orleans exposition
rs the real pioneer press Of the great
northwest. Mr.. Freeman could there
make q fortune publishing fac sf1titcs
Of the Frontier LRde1 as issued at
each Of the seventeen places where
1t has been published. They would
sell like hot cakes, as showing the
progress Of the greatest movement

Coal MIners on q STRIFE.

CHEYENNE, Jan. lL-A special
from Carbon, Wyoming, says that
23O men employed by the Union Pa
cific railway in coal mines at that
point, struck to-day. It is said that
Lawrence Quealy, the superinten-
dent, attempted to bulldOze them,
politically, in the last election. The
places Of the strikers, who want
Quealy removed, were partially filed
by foreigners. No collisions have
yet occurred, and those at work are
not interfered with by the strikers.
1t is said 500 miners at Rock Springs,
Wyoming, go out to-day unless
Quealy Is removed. The coal supply
Is rather short here, and In the event
ofa prolonged spell Of cold weather,
an unpleasant coal famine will result
from the general strike.

Some months ago a number Of
sporting men made up a glove fight
between Jimmy Reed and Fred.
Robinson, two scientific prototypes
Of the John @. Heenan school, who
have on numerous occasions appear
ed as principals in the 24-foot en-
closure, and received and given
punishmentaecording to the Marquis
OF Queensbury rules that govern
little eccentric meetings Of the kind.
The row was billed for the Goth Of
December, but as Appearances indi-
Gated that the punishers were to give
a real representation Of the knock
down argument the city authori-
ties expressed an objection to the
affair coming of, and differing
courteously to the oppressed wishes
Of the powers that be the Founders
dlscreetly gave up the idea Of
doing the humping act in this city.
As the desire to give an exhibition
still existed to an unnatural extent
with the principals a scheme was
set on foot 10 have the fight come of
at spngue last Saturday night.
Both Robinson and Reed were pres
ent, but as a very few showed suf-
fieient anxiety to see two men maui
each other to pay one dollar for ad-
mission the money was refunded
and the match declared of. 1t was
announced that the contest was to
take place tonight, buteircumstances
deserving Of respect prevented. 1t
seems that there is a good whole
some law on the statute books OF
Washington territory making 1t a
felony TO take part, a bet or en-
courage, by attendance, prize fight
ing, and the coneientious officers Of
eastern Washington propose that
said clause shall be enforced for
Robinson was in receipt Of a letter
from the sheriff OF Lincoln county,
stating that he would not object to a
scientific exhibition Of boxing, but
that himself and deputies would be
present and II there was any sign Of
earnest fighting he would hop on to
the crowd and Put 'em through.
With the chilly iron bars Of a prison
staring them them In the face, the
anxiety to fight was somewhat mod
efed, and the meeting has been In

SOMERSET, Pa, Jan. IS. : The
Somerset chemical works, two miles
east OF this place, where nitrO-gly-
cerine and all grades OF high explo-
sives are manufactured, was the
scene Of a terrible explosion this
afternoon. Five men were at work
in the packing house when some dy-
Mantle ignIted from a red-hot poker
one Of the men was using boring a
hole in the door. In a second the
whole building was In flames, and
the men, with their clothing on fire,
started to run, and were but a short
distance fromtthe building when 500
pounds Of dynamite, packed ready
for shipment, lying outside the
building, exploded. Two Of the
men were found sixty rods away,
burned. to a crisp. The other men
were not seriously injured. The
shock was so great that people Of
this town ran into the street, think
ing their houses were falling down.
Window glasses were broken in
houses a half a mile from the scene
OF the accident.

BAD CASE.
Peter Quinn has 4 Foot Frozen and Is
Compelled to Undergo q Painful
Operation.

Peter Quinn, Esq, gentleman OF
some fifty years Of age, and father
n.law Of Alex. Shannon Of this city,
met with fearful misfortune
through the effects of an adventure
he had some three weeks ago. Mr.
Quinn resides beyond Deep Creep
Falls, and had occasion at the time
stated above to make a trip to dis
tant neighbOr. He started out on
mule, accompanied by his dogs. He
became lost on the prairie and rode
around for hours unable to reach a
habltation. At last the dogs refused
to follow him further. 1t struck him
that perhaps animal instinct would
extIicate him from the dilemma.
In a few minutes the dogs struck
out in an opposite direction, and
after following them for a long dis
tance he reached the shelter Of a
farm house. Here he discovered
that the toes Of his left foot was
badly frozen. He applied the usual
remedies and thought he would BE-
all right In a short time. However
the limb was too badly injured and
It was at least decided that the toes
would have to be amputated. Mr..
Quinn was brought TO this city Mon
day and Tuesday an operation was
performed by DR.. J. NJ. Morgan.
The doctor found the foot in a
terrible condition, modification
having set In and the bones badly
rotted, all Of the toes and a portion
Of the left foot were removed, the
delicate job being very skillfully per-
formed, and the patient, at pres
ent writing, Is resting easy. or
course the shock is a severe ono for
man Of Mr.. Quinn's age, but he
will no doubt pull through all right

THERE is a rumor that alter the decis
ion in the Aylesford case which is almost
certain to be against Lady Aylesiord, it is
the intention of the Duke of Marlborough
to marry her. IL will be remembered
that Lady Aylesford left her husband 5
home in Kent in 1877, to accept the pro
lection of the Duke of Marlborough, then
Marquis Of Blsndford She pleaded her
husbands intolerable conduct, and ac-
cepted Blandford's promise TO marry her
as soon rs she should be divorced. She
had a child three years of age, whom,
although Aylesford was not its father, she
was called by his second title. The courts
found so much to blame on both sides
that neither was entitled to a divorce.
Aylesford died on his ranch in Texas,
last January. Many people - England
think the Duke of Marlborough mean
enough to refuse to marry Lady Ayles-
ford now. He is the brother of Lord
Churchill, but opposed to him politically.

distance is twenty one and a fourth miles.

be connected show the greatest depth Of

TO locate the tunnel 1 900 feet below low
