The Ceur d'Alene Miner has
changed hands. This PAPER has
always been goldbug sheet, and
opposed to workingmen. 1t is
best that the concern should
change. We hope the new man
agement will follow a different
course.
Another invoice of non-union
men from Salt Lake, eight in
number, arrived in Challis last
Thursday afternoon en- route for
Custer to work for the Lucky
Gold Mining Company. We are
informed that another shipment
will be here soon.
The Salt Lake Tribune says
that if silver is restored it will
be done by the Republican party.
The Tribune is goldbug sheet,
but shouts for silver once In a
while for policy sake. Oh, yes;
the Republican party is for sill
yer. Just about to the same ex-
tent as Wall street.
Salmon river is overfowing It's
banks and still getting higher.
1t is within few inches of high
water mark. AS yet no bridges
have been swept out, but road
up the river is flooded in places.
If it keeps warm for another
week there is no telling how
high the water will get.

his road to Seafoam to represent
his mining claims.
Chicago has the largest build
ing on earth-the Democratic

$4,000. 1t is 727 feet long by
, 300 feet wide.
Geo. B. Thompson is a trifie
better today, on account of his
age and weakness it will almost
be miracle if he RECEIVERS from
the shock. A little over week
ago he was stricken down with {
paralytic stroke, and his righ-
side is entirely paralyzed SO that
he is almost unable to speak OF
, move. We hope for his speedy
recovery.
