The Paris of South America,

Lima, six miles inland from Callao,
is popularly known as the Paris Of
South America. According to the
Cincinnati Post, it's women are the
most beautiful and the gayest; it's
men are the best educated, give more
attention to the sciences and are the
most extensively travelled in that
continent. Its theater and opera are
always of the highest order, its dia-
monds are'of the purest water; and it
shares with New York the claim Of
being the greatest diamond mart on
the Western hemisphere. In archi-
lecture it is on the Moorish lines
ornamented with the Italians taste
and his pencil. In color the of the
whole city is that of gladness itself;
it is as bright as the sun without
being white. 1t is hard to realize
that you are looking on adobe walls
when you are in Lima street car,
yet 1t is so. This class of construc-
tion admits of great facility in mold
ing, and, there being no rain to speak
of, is enduring. The lower stories of
the houses are thus built, and when
it is necessary to go higher the upper
portion will be of bamboo, succeed
with mud; then all is handsomely
finished in plaster of paris, in which
the country abounds. The furnish
ing Of Lima house belonging to one
of the wealthy is generally in brighter
colors than the American of the
north affects. The luxury is great
the houses being splendid palaces.
If the women are gay, they are also
extremely dignified-they are the
most intelligent of their sex in Latin
America and the most charming com
panions in the drawing room, where
the desire to please is stimulated by
the hospitality of their tempers
Lima streets are we'll paved, but the
sidewalks are narrow, compelling the
passenger to often take to the drive.
way to pass the man he meets. Club
life is an institution of Lima as of
other civilized communities, but the
Lima gentleman is fond of his home.

SLOGAN Is THE SLOGAN.
Capitalists and uNIiners on Their Way to
the New Camp.

A dispatch from Spokane, Wash
ington, says: Excitement and
interest on account of the authentic
reports of the richness and extent Of
the mineral discoveries in the SLOGAN
country are increasing every day.
Last nights Great Northern train
took out the largest delegation that
has left this city at one time for the
new camps. Gov. John M. Burke of
Idaho headed party of eight men.
A party Of five young men from the
East, who are apparently we'll sup
piled with money, arrived here and
proceeded at once on their way to
Kaslo. Several other companies and
numerous single individuals were also
on the train, all confident of securing
wealth-producing claims and realiz-
ing handsome profits.
The stages are making regular trips
from Bonners Ferry to Kootenai
Lake points in connection with Great
Northern trains, and will continue
to do SO until navigation opens upon
the river.
Mining properties are In gre eht
demand, but there is not mucii
anxiety on the part of holders to let
go at present, as the excitement is
expected to increase, making better
prices possible in the spring. Still
there are many prospectors having
good locations which they have made
up their minds to sell in order to
obtain money to develop others.
The inquiry for town lots in Kaslo
is constantly increasing, and prices
have an upward tendency, this
feature of the camp vying with the
mining interests for recognition in
the rush for speculative benefits
One Spokane gentleman recently
purchased five lots for $3.50 each, and
has since sold one for $3.50. He
intends to hold the others until the
spring stampede. The excitement is
already approaching the Leadville
boom.

HIS LIFE WORK.
What an Old-Time Comp6sitor Has Done
in Handling Type.

"Uncle Alex" Crockett, a COMPOST
tor of this city, has recently passed
! the sixtieth mile-post of his life as q
printer, says the Nevada Democrat
Mr. Crockett has spent the greatest
part of his life at the case and this is
what he has accomplished:
AT an average of three columns per
day, he has set up 56, 100 columns.
This type, put in newspaper of
eight columns to the page, would fill
7,OD pages.
At five minutes per column, it
would take one year, three months
and thirteen days to read this amount
of matter.
II measured by the 'em" it would
aggregate 14O, 100000.
/ At thirty-five cents per 1000 ems
this amount of labor would be worth
$46,l4
This much type would weigh 1885,
246 pounds. 1t would contain 42l,-
200, O0O letters.
If these lettersa,were laid end to end
they wotsBd cover distance OF 5,816a
miles.
1t would make 1928, coo lines.

edition of Webster's dictionary thir-

would reacf' twenty-five miles:
