News From Nelson-ravorable Re-
ports and Fine Orc Specimens.


ports and Fine Orc Specimens.
james Fox, part owner in the
Dandy mine, came in Wednes-
day from Nelson, and reports very
bright outlook for the camp during
the coming year. He has u
piece of ore from Halls Silver King
at depth of 100 feet, which assays
14O0 ounces of silver to the ton. At
that point the bottom of the shaft is
all in ore.
The Dandy, he says, is increasing
I'm rich rock. Two samples of 100
pounds were sent to San Francisco
and sampled, which gave 200 and
300 ounces silver per ton--very good
for what was considered low grade
ore-the rock concentrating three to
one.
John Buchanan and j. II. Hope
are at work driving the tunnel on
the Evening, with very encourag-
ing prospects, 30 1t is reported.
Mr.. Fox says there was no snow
on the mountains October 27, and
also that from good sources he learns
the Spokane & Northern will reach
the camp within year, going by
the way of the Little Salmon river
down Cottonwood, Smiths creek to
Nelson. A branch will go direct to
the mines from the divide between
these two streams.
SPIRIT OF THE HOME PRESS.
Tacoma Globe: This matter of Ameri-
can girls buying titled husbands is q
burning, singing disgrace to the land of
their nativity. Probably it is because
| the thing Is SO monstrous that the press
has said little about Il sditorially. 1t is
q subject which is difficult OF justice in
| that way and therefore about all that has
been done in the matter, so far, is to
give it a spurning kick and let IL go.
| The spectacle of an American girl bar
much of her fortune he is to have in
consideration of his becoming her hus-
band seems shameful to patriotic Ameri-
can sovereigns, the citizens of q republic
where the democracy of her people is Il
boast. And in such a case, for instance, as
where his little highness turns in con-
tempt, away from the sum she proposes
to endow him with, saying, that is not
enough" one feels as though he would
be pleased to kick the prince down the
stairway and denationalize the party OF
the other part.

Baker City Reveille: A railroad
around the obstructions to navigation
above here would no doubt be a good
thing, that Is, provided the locks at the
Cascades were finished. In the present
condition of the lower river, however
the portage railway would be of little
benefit to anyone. If our representative
in congress will concentrate their efforts
on getting the locks at the Cascades
completed, they will accomplish more
good, though Tor that matter they car
push both. The coming need 1T the
complete them be made and that the
work then be let by contract.
