| will not 60 beyond it.


Mr.. ARGUS Il mean what say in my date l am two
hundred feet underground travelling in cutoff through
Momaluke HILL am already eighteen hundred feet on the
road, and have looked all along for the great Geological
Nut, which suppose the Gcoogss have cracked
not find it.
The tunnels in ATamalule ore numerous Many of them
have cost large money construct them In short
every mining camp may brag of big things in the of
mining until ink and paper exhausted, we can show
the visitor larger extensive and costly works in this
hill than elsewhere be found III the State of California
Come gentlemen bring the line and plummet, and
viii measure with you, Bring your pan, and we will pan
out with you, and then 60 Georgetown to the banking
house of Adams Co, Wells, Fargo & Co., and weigh
the prospect, and beat you beat the State; nay, will
Beat the world. Now stop Dragging, and to actual
measurmcnt and weight with us.
Georgetown is "A handsome and growing town, Unlike
California towns it has broad and straight streets
and the buildings substantial and tastefuy finished
1t is located in the midst of rich mining district with
abundant water facilities In this immediate vicinity hill
digging is carried extensively in Mamauke, Bottle
Ilil Cenent Hill and many others. This neghborhood
has been pl ointment mining locality since 40, and
miners, doubt, doing well average
at any period heretofore.

persons from the cities recruiting their health These
fat and Sleek and have good lungs. They said
political complexion of the county. They also appear
consider the blue and red hrted miners very unsops
ticacd class of primitive humanity especially requiring
mental cultivation and direction therefore these dsnter
e:ed worthless appear to be sort of missionary enter
prise, bcneyolcnty inclined to pour into the minds of the
benghed miners, some of their supcrabundant wisdom

and eeled off yarn without beginning, middle end

wished they at the Bay and they'd go into Robbs and
get an ice So off they started the big fat
saying to the other, eve have put flea in that chaps
he is green grass" eyes," replied the other, "a
would mistake him for cabbage" Now, Mr.. Argus
my opinion is that these chaps brace drones

ID. have kept my eye this pair. They got lost the
other day among the hills. Coming to a dead halt, they
dcoursed about the ability cames said to possess, of
smelling water at the distance of several miles, when
suddenly exclaimed that he could smell whiskey Both
agreed must be at hand, and that they would
find the fountain of that delicious odor So they travel
led till night bringing up in dark caon when the slender
hombre discovered that the odor of his companions
breath they had been following all day
