we we're 4 lamenting and dOlefuI people over
our losses by the various foods; when ''presto

The claims Of A. Jacobs & Co., are paying big.
Those of Hogebone, < Co., next adjoining are

Marriott & Co., are stripping large piece OF
ground, from which they expect to reap hne
harvest next summer. Their ground being SIT
uated much lower than others, being in the CEN
ire of an old channel, they never attempt DO
ing anything but stripping during the Winter
and Spring months.
notwithstanding our severe losses this win

Last week we we're visited by Amos I. Laird
Of Nevada. who, in conjunction with others,
contemplate bringing up a tunnel and tail

claims along the creek, thing we need more
than anything else. They have made survey,
and find it practicable; the next thing is, VIII

The excitement attending which had not

Attraction il a curious power,
That none can understand
It's influence is everywhere,
In water, air and land.
II operates on everything
The sea- the tide, the weather;
II brings The sexes close, smack up,
And binds them fast together.
1t is.a mysterious principle in nature, where

a thousand strings" accompanied by little

Politely intimate, while poised so,
