A HEALTHY STATE OF sCCiETY-CnRlsT-
MAS FESTIVITIES

MAS FEsTIVlES
AS mnch can be said for the society
here, perhaps, as fer that of any min
ing town of it's size and age. AS in
all new mining camps the male popn-
lation largely predominates, (in this
place, perhaps, fifteen TO one,) bat it
is AZ orderly community as ! have
over seen, where such disparity in the
sexes was found to exist.
Considering the depth of the snow,
euite successful fort was made for
shc first time, to get the gay element
of society together on the evening Of
Christmas. The upper story OF Mr.
Eli nardy's large building was fitted
mp for II ball and u supper, given by
! MIR. Thomas Hardy. Those who par
iicipated AT the ball and the banquet,
expressed themselves highly pleased
with the evenings entertainment.
A CHRISTMAS PRESENT.

Christmas by prescnting-her husband

THE QUARTZ INTERESTS.
