The Scales residence, below Wagon
town, is nearly completed, and painting
is now being done. This is one of the
largest and most convenient houses on
the creek.
New planking has been placed on the
bridges between this place and Silver,
but in nearly every instance the ap-
proaches are not graded in a proper
manner. They should be attended to.

1t is understood that the War Eagle
hotel in Silver City, has changed hands,
Mr. John Crete having sold to Messrs.
Alfred Hicks and James Shaw, the COLI
sideration being $4,000. That the new
owners will have success is assured if
they keep the house up to its former
standard of excellence, which they will
doubtless do.
There will be pleasant dance at the
Reynolds creek school house next FRI

better than to avail thems Ives of this
opportunity to visit that section, get ac-

by Lamb and McCabe there will be
scene of desolation compared with
which that made by Sherman, in his fa-
nous march to the sea, will pale into
insignifcance. When they get back,
yellow-legged chickens in that section
will be as scarce as though whole reg
iment of Methodist preachers had gone
through. Many tired housewife will
say, to herself, as she sees them keep
on movingn just what my girl said to
me: "Should you ever pass by this way
again, l shall always be glad to see
you-pass by" One benefit to the
country, however, will be derived from
their trip. The Robson hot spring is
one of the main feeders to the Bruneau
river and, as Lamb intends to wash his
wool while there and McCabe his feet,
there will not be enough water left in
the river to bother the dam builders in
the canyon below.

THE FARMERS ALLIANCE.
|sffe Meeting Will be Very Interesting
One to all Concerned,

Much interest is being manifested in the
convention of the Farmers Alliance, which
meets in this city on July 10. Conjectures
as to the result Of the meeting are numer-
Gus. Some prophesy split in the ranks of
the Alliance on the sub-treasury question,
while others think this dangerous question
will be touched upon but slightly, as in it
are contained forces which the leaders of
the third party think had best lie dormant.
The votaries of the sub-treasury scheme in
this city are not in sympathy
with the calling OF the con
vention, and say that it comes from no
sSscognized authority, and are inclined to
the third party movement. A large num-
Der Of prominent Alliance men will be here
not only from Texas but from other states,
and the deliberations OF the body will be
very important and far-reaching IN its eff
feet upon the Alliance all over the state.

Critical Lanterns,

For exclusively parlor use good lantern
may be obtained for SIS, which will give a
picture or s feet in diameter For SIS enc
may purchase a sciopticon suitable for use
in small halls and capable of producing a
picture 10 or y feet across. A sciopticon
of the highest class, with an oil lamp or
lime jet, would cost 800 or more, and
would giye picture 20 feet in diameter at
distance of 1875 feet A pair Of sciopti-
cons used together Tor dissolving views
form piece of apparatus known as Ste
reopticon. Prices of stereopticons range
from $50 to $500. and a triple lantern, used
for fancy effects, will cost you from $50 TO
81 900, according to the needs of your bust
ness. For hall exhibitions, however, the
low priced lantern does all the work of
high class one, and pair of good SIS Sc!
opticons may be used very effectively in
dissolving.
About lantern screens. A clean white
wall is an ideal surface upon which to pro-
ject lantern image. Next to this tightly
drawn muslin sheet without wrinkles.
Paper with dead finish makes a good
screen, but 1t is apt to be lacking in dura-
bility. If it is desired to place the lantern
behind the screen. as in the case of the
screen being in a large doorway, with the
lantern in one room and the spectators in
the other, it should be stretched very tight
and thoroughly wet to make it translucent
This plan, however, do not recommend,
