BUSINESS ACCOUNTS. During yester-
day Mr.. Barbour was busily employed
in disbursing the Indebtedness Of the
Raymond & Ely mine for1he month OF
November to the merchants to whom
&A1Z Were indebted, the amount was not
w ht being about $40. 900 and kept the
Clerk of the Company busily employed
for the time being, This settlement of
the mercantile bills leaves all accounts
Of the company settled up except for the
month OF November and leaves them in
the same position they were 10 previous
to the failure of the Bank OF California,
and it is now supposed that payments
will be made for mining labor on the
fifth of the month aud for mercantile
bills on the 10th OF each month. The
shipments OF bullion from the mine
would seem to indicate that, aud We hope
we are not mistaken in making state
ment to that effect. We have no
authority in saying this but the payments
lead US to suppose that this will be
fact.
AMONG the contrivances brought into
play yesterday to take advantage Of the
snow and get all the fun out of it pos
sible, was hand sled to which rope
was attached and one end made fast to
the horn of saddle. which saddle was
secured to the back of horse. With
this hasty contrivance no little fun was
vouchsaied to the owners OF both horse
and sled. 1t represented the ludicrous
side OF sleighiug and coasting. and met
with many accidents that were in keeping
with its pretentions.
