The Bank of Murray had on exhibition
on Tuesday gold brick from the Occident
mine which weighed l22 ounces and was
valued at $4,000, the result of the COM
pany's arastra cleanup. The brick was
3 inches wide, Az inches long and -
inches thick. 1t was submitted to consid-
cradle inspection during the day, and
The company declare that they could
build house of such bricks or pave the
street with them if they had ten-stamp
mill, but when the quartz is ground out
ton day, the process is too crude and
slow, no matter how rich the ore may be.
This is the largest gold brick from quartz
crushings that has ever been run here,
and while 1T is not drop in
the bucket in, comparison to
SaSns SSa the it camp saRsSs OF WORTH eIH
growing over for an arastra run. The
brick is solid proof that the quartz to pro-
duce gold ia here, and that, too in guam
titles that will pay for the introduction Of
modern machinery. Fully 100000 has
been taken out of the mines on Ophir Hill,
apd the mountain has hardly been touched.
Some of the amount has been taken from
the pockets found in the Treasure Box and
Occident, but the bulk of IL has been OBJ
tained by the aid of three arastras, which
have proven good friends to the poor
miners In the present crude way of
working, of course. large percentage of
the gold is lost, and whenever this is
caught and put with the general output
there will be an awakening to the fact
that the North Side of the Occur d'Alene
is as rich as it has has always been repre-
sented to be.
Alongside of the Occidental brick at the
bank was also one from the Golden Chest,
about one-third as large. Mnrray Sun.

Theatricals on the Lake.

After dark on the return trip in order
to keep awake novel idea struck the To-
cal committee in charge. Every one on
the boat was aroused from his slumbers
and told that theatrical troup had been
secured to give performance. The large
hall on the first floor was curtained off so
as to make frst.class stage on one end.
A number of college men and some ladies,
particularly the daughters of I. G. Cava-
nauRh, took part and termed themselves

exercises with a rousing college song. Af-
ter this ''she.raids" were played, recita-
tious listened to and songs sung. Among
the exercises there was a mock trial in
which George T. Schorr was hand.cuffed
and tried as being a granger who had
committed the crime of paying $3.50 in
advance for country newspaper. On
landing three rousing cheers were given
for the officers of the steamer Cnur

Our Modern Eden,

tables grown on upland, with only ordi-
nary cultivation. First comes little
squash that measures As inches around.
Then there is a turnip with circumfer-
ence of 30 inches, and Mr.. Morris has
another inches larger. Then come three
hills of potatoes of the early rose, peerless
and early May varieties, with 10, II and
"a large potatoes respectively Some of
these potatoes weigh 215 to 3 pounds.
Then the procession winds up with carrots
of ID and l6 inches circumference and
a beat that stretches the tape at 10
inches. And all these are raised on
upland, mind you. 1t is not much
wonder that Washington territory is
called the garden spot" of the world.

The Early Publications --Those
Now In z Existence Here.
Like those engaged in other branches of
business the early journalist of Spokane
Falls met with many vicissitudes and had
many drawbacks to contend against. Far
remote from supply depots, with irregular
and uncertain means of communication
with the outside world. the newspaper
maa had to resort to numerous expedients
in order to issue paper regularly, and he
overcame obstacles that would discourage
the stoughtest heart nowadays.
The irst paper that was ever published
in this place was the Spokane Times, and
its editor and proprietor was Francis n.
Cook, the gentleman who is now the ac-
tive head of the motor railroad scheme.
Mr.. Cook came to Spokane Falls in 1879,
and brought his press and printing ma.
teriai overland in a wagon from Colfax
Not urlv did he travel by wagon. bnt ac-
tually issued the first number of the Times
en- rCute. Mr.. Cook was an enterprisinR
Journalist. and he soon began the publica-
tion of a daily, although the town was a
mere hamlet and would not nor could moi
support such an enterprise. The Times
enioved brief but brilliant career and
Mr. Cook retired from the field.
The Chronicle was the next paper pub.
lish.d in this city. 1t was established by
3 r. Carlisle. ESQ, a bright and forcible
uriter. who aided much in letting the
Vorld know there was such place MS Spo-
ane Falls. The Chronicle changed hands

ARIZONA JOURNALISM.

The joys and Sorrows Expressed by the
Editor OF the "Arixona Kicker"
A New Departure--Next week we shall
begin the publication, of an agricultural
department in the Kicker, thus making o
year 3 subscription ten times as valuable
as at present, without increasing the cost
to subscribers. We have made arrange
ments with tenderfoot who struck town
without a cent to take charge of the new
departure. He is sailor by trade, and
we now have him out IN the country learn
ing the difference between a coyote and a
Hubbard squash. He may make few
blunders on the go.otf as he sticks to it
that potatoes ought to grow on trees, and
that wheat grows wrong end to, but he is
hummer, and will get there by and by.
Remember, this department does not In
crease the sub description price at all. We
are simply trying to publish paper worth
800 year for 80.
Come Again. there is more court
eous gentleman in all the great West than
Colonel Duff we should like his address.
We referred to the colonel the other day
as an unhung thief. 1t was only our way.
but he took exceptions and called at the
office on Tuesday and knocked us down.
The blow was delivered in the most gen.
teel manner, and was not accompanied

sensibilities, Neither did the colonel
gouge our eyes or chew our ears after we
were down. He was cool, calm and COM
posed, and we freely admit that we got
up with an increase of 80 per cent in re-
spect for him. Our nose was skinned,
and we knocked an, auction bill into ''pi"
as we fell but we have no grudge to sat
isfy. The colonel could do no less, and we
are thankful he did no more. We shall
be pleased to see him again.
Not Disappointed-1'h common coun-
eli has awarded the city printing to the
Weekly Tom Cat, as we expected, and
that dish-rag of sheet is giving us the
grand crow. We are not disappointed.
We put in the lowest bid, and we have the
largest circulation, but the aldermen owed
us one. The Kicker has recorded and ex-
posed them as forgers, thieves and gam
blers, and they do not think of us with
kindness. And, too, they were under last
ing obligations to the knock-kneed, raw
boned, cross.eyed, bow-backed old hyena
who runs the opposition paper. Had he
not been a member of the last grand jury
every mothers son of 'em would have
gone to prison.
We have no tears to shed, gentlemen
You are on top just now, but wait few
weeks. We are working up your pedi'
grees, and Billy Pinkerton is coming this
way in October.
Thanks.--Our thanks are due Mrs. Gen
eral Shift for peck of beautiful onions sent
in a few days ago. Also to Mrs. Judge
Hendricks for six toothsome sandwiches
and dozen pickles. Also to Major Haye,
for two pounds of butter and slice ol

other in loading our table with delicacies
