and pleasing entertainments at Miners
Union Hall. in this town. Although
they are now known n the Lancashire

nal swiss Bell Ringers" thus christ.
ened by the great Snowman, Z. L. Bar
num-. who brought them to the United

CATS AND OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
Virginia and Gold Hill were first set
tied there was not a cat In either town.
Peaceful times. Night was not then
made hideous by uncarthly feline
bowls and shrieks, and the honest
miner slumbered quietly on without
dreaming that he was in sone African
;nnole surrounded by raging tigers and
other blood. thirsty beasts. But soon
merchants, grocers and others began
;mnorting cats from California. Large
cages. built like hen-coops, were niled
with eats and sent over here, where
they brought from Is to 80 each. and
from this stock we are now oVerruh

tbe civilized world. From dark until
daylight they howl and squall and SPIT
