yeloped into 4 big town, with broad slreots
big hotels, ine drinking saloons, and two
hnrdy-hOusea, all 10 the space Of six weeks.
Gold Hill and Virginia were both plenti-
fully represented, not only Ia the town, but
throughout the district. Everybody made
plenty OF locations, and nobody felt sure OF
his fortune unless he had 'feet"ln Excelsior,
where the Lodges were all rich. We know
how Il Is ourself, for we saw the elephant

pOTtorlal earnings therein forthwith, aud
