Crifted out, the ground above not containing
sufficient gold to pay for sluicing off. Some
years ago, Mr.. Pier, of this place, sunk So, 600
in working the same claims now being worked
by Mallory & Co., and which are paying so
largely. Experience has shown that the Blue

better than ever before.

press their thanks to the citizens Of Nevada

their expectations. The money, we believe, is
10 be appropriated towards the erection Of a
church building.

doubtless have showers in every month of this
year.
