Late last fall a squad Of men who
had had years Of experience in the
placer mines of California, arrived in
this city, one of whom had in his
possession between $50 and so in
gold dust They were taciturn and
uncommunicative, but it leaked out
from one or two OF the party, who
found it hard work to keep secret a
good thing, that the crowd had been
industriously engaged prospecting a
certain piece of ground not far of
from Spokane Falls-dePonent saith
within a radius OF 20 miles OF the
city-and late In the season succeed
ed in unearthing that in which they
were in search Of. The country over
which the prospectOrs worked was,
in appearance, such as the older
miners considered promising for col
mr., and it was this that led them on
to ransack the territory and critical
ly search every pan Of earth that was
submitted to washing. On account
Of the untimely advent Of winter,
just as they had succeeded in con-
vincing themselves that they had
"struck it." they were compelled to
hang up the shovel and the pan and,
with as much patience as they could
command, await the disappearance

"The sun do mOve," and the evil
dence presented on every hand
proves that Spokane Falls is doing
the same. Money may be an article
exceedingly valuable just now on
account of its scarcity; times may be
hard because a circulating medium
is short, and business may be dull
because goods cannot be purchased
entirely on cheek alone. Yet there
are still some people who have an
old stocking full Of coin stored away
somewhere and are using 1t for
building purposes. AT present there
are no large store buildings or public
works under way, but the light-col-
Ored spots caused by the putting up
Of new buildings, are blotching up
the town like a baby's face with the
measles. While this evidence Of in
creased growth is not confined to one
particular portion of the city, yet the
greater part of the improvements
seems to center in that section ex-
tending south Of the railroad track.
People who do not often get out
around town would be surprised at
the number and character Of the new
buildings under way this early in
the season-an indication that there
will be a considerable spread Of the
place during 'S5. Most OF the houses
now being built are of a superior
class, and If this activity in building
continues the southern part Of the
town will be very thickly built up
during the year. Lumber merchants
report the orders for building mate
rial as growing steadily, and our
carpenters are securing work after
II winter Of idleness. 1t is a condi-
tion Of affairs we like to see exist,
and the greater the existence, the
better we like it.

WAsHINGToN, March 10. Some

By the lmpertinent interference
Of an Indian Wednesday we were
town was full Of red men that d v,
beat out Of sensational item. The
and about six o'clock one Of the abo-
rigines caught sight Of some horses
on Howard street that he insisted
the Indian driving had stolen from
him. He attempted to take his al
legged property, proceeding that the
native in charge, who deemed pos
session nine-tenths OF the law, oh.
jected to. A wordy war ensued, at
tracing a crowd of white men who
were perfectly Indifferent as to the
result OF the disagreement One Of
the wranglers drew an ugly-loOking
knife, and 1t is the general opinion
that there would have been a funeral
in the tribe, had not a third Indian
stepped In at the most exciting
point and announced that the story
would be continued next week.
Through the interference Of the
peacemaker, the war was terminated
and the principals marched off in
different directions. Considering
how quiet the town has been, it re-
quires considerable christian forth

Jones has gone and done 1t. 1t is
an inherent right that Jones, or any
other man, has to go and do 1t, II he
so desire; but not looking for any
thing Of the kind we feel called upon
to be surprised that Jones did. By
the way, as the name is one that is by
no means so uncommon that the
mere announcement identifies the
pOssessor, we will halt a moment to
add that the party we refer TO is none
other than ]. NJ. Jones, Esq, one Of
our most worthy residents, an old
citizen and a clever, pupular and de-
serving gentleman. 1t is not intend
ed to intimate th1t Mr.. Jones has
been guilty Of some einous offense
against the laws Of a common cOun-
try. Far from II. He is not Of that
kind. Besides, II we should but hint
at such thing the jolly smile that
illuminates his visage as he plods
along the streets would brand us as
malicious vllifier. On the contrary,
Mr.. Jones has only been doing that
which Is to his credit, viz: getting
married. There we give 1t away
without pang Of conscience. The
event took place Tuesday, he going
clear to Cheney to have the ceremo-
nial rite performed. The lady who
has trusted her future happiness to
his keeping, and a trust given into
worthy hands, is Mrs. A. ]. Loverin,
who has spent the winter In this
city. Mr.. and Mrs. Jones are now
stopping at the California house,
where they are the recipients Of an
avalanche Of congratulations. We,
also, desire to add our mite Of good
wishes to those Of their friends, hop
ing that happiness, contentment and
prosperity may hover over the house
Of Jones for all time to come.
