also an important one, as showing the

turned off chilly and has all of the

tries as Indian Summer.
THE CALIFORNIA MARKET.-This is
the name of a new meat market just
opened by Charley Coll, on South
Main street, opposite the Odd Fellows
new building. Charley is an old.timer
in Eureka, and is universally acknowl-
edged to be the neatest and best
butcher that ever came to the Base
Range. He was never yet known to
have anything to do with poor or infe.
rior meats, and in this instance he tells
us tlrat he Is determined to excel all OF
his former efforts. lie also makes the
important announcement that he is GO
ing to undersell all of the other mar
kets In town. Meats delivered all
around town on short notice and
without extra charge. Charley has
hosts of friends in these parts, and
now that he has concluded to settle
down with the view of making Enre-
ka his permanent home, we shall ex-
pect to see him build up a rushing
business in short order. Give him a
trial, particularly if you want the fat
