Tor the loss of the oranges and pine.
apples. We have noticed one thing abont
the fg leaves here, they are exactly the
same size as those used by Eve in the
Garden OF Eden, and hence we arguefrom
this that that garden must have been
somewhere in this vicinity. at least, not
more than a mile from Hamilton. II IS
said that other evidences of this fact are
at hand-thep places where Adam and Eve
sat down can be plainly seen however.
we place but little credence in this.
IMPRovEMENT.-The new awning in
front OF Capt. Strickiand's place is a
beauty. The artistic work is something
which strikes one as both strange and
original. There is a combination of Ro-
man and Grecian architecture, and the
bold front it presents, reminds one of the
arches to be seen at the entrance of some
/ of those old Roman oae+1or

of the artist beautiful rafters have been
adroitly chiseled out of solid wood. and
by an ingenious method (by architect
HALL they are made to support the main
roof. Another new feature has been in
troduced, and that is a ventilator in the
top, the philosophy of which can be more
accurately described by the Capt. than by
us. Interview him.
Losr.-Monday last Charley Geary lost
a valuable relic in the shape of a gold
ring, tone of the old California ounc
rings which he had worn since 1850.
In throwing ont something from his res
taurant into the street. the ring slipped
from his finger and fell on the sidewalk,
and from thence rolled into the gutter,
which was running full of water. On
account of old "reminiscences, Charley
thought a great deal of the ring, and has
had considerable prospecting done to find
it, but SO far has been unsuccessful
TRouHLE.-Some trouble occurred on
Thursday last between Alexander Mckay
and two Spaniards, about a wood ranch.
the particulars of which we could not
learn. The Spaniards started in on Nc
Kay with clubs, and made it very lively
for him. AS be was retreating down the
hill they fred two shots at him, neither
of which took effect. Justice Bush will
find out all about it.
RICH RocK.-Uncle Johnny McCann
has shown us some very rich specimens
of ore, taken from the Bowie & Brown
mine, situated on Blue Hill, only about
half a mile from Hamilton. The ledge
is three feet wide, and has well defined
walls. Some ore from this mine was
worked at the Smoky Mill two or three
years ago which averaged 1929 per ton.
1t is considered a good mine.
LOOKING WELL.-The Summit Tunnel
Company are running their tunnel on the
east side of White Pine Mountain, and
are progressing finely. Their prospects
are very fattering. having recently struck
a body of ore which assays beyond the
expectations of its owners.
WATER.-A day or two since an effort
was made to get a corner on water by the
bulls and bears on Main street. The
west side had it all their own way for a
while, but the east side rallied under good
generalship, and "afoe God" that corner
didn't last long.
New GooDs.-Rosenblum has a nice
assortment of ladies and gents furnishing
goods. which he ordered expressly for
those who will attend the Odd Fellows
ball. Everybody is expected to be well
| dressed on that occasion.
