ow valley street the other evening we
noticed ahead of us an individual whose
steps bstokened that be had been once
or twice too often pleading at the bar"
In his right hand he had grasped two
bottles OF beer, while with his left hand
he carried paper sack of eggs. Just as
he reached the portion of Meadow Valley
street intersected by Cedar, where it is
billy and rocky, he stumbled and fell,
and whilst falling, he very naturally put
out both hands to save himself, demol-
ishing the beer bottles and the bag of
eggs; but he appeared not to notice his
loss, or else be was too oblvious OF every
thing from drink to heed it, so he arose
and slowly made his way up the street,
still grasping the necks OF the broken
beer bottles and the empty paper bag.
He approached the door Of house, and
kicked at It to obtain admittance. The
door was soon opened. throwing the light
full upon him, showing the intelligent
countenance OF drunken man, with an
idiotic expression Of smartness upon his
face, which instantly disappeared as a
female asked "Where is that beer, you
drunken fool?"
OFFICIAL ETTEE.-Following is the
official letter OF T. B. Pheby, Superin-
tendent of the Raymond & Ely mine,
dated May %: "Since my last l beg to
say that our upper levels continue to

are encouraging. We are sinking winzs
from our Sth level 10 connect with an up
raise from the 9th. 1t is looking WELL,
promises to make into good body of
ore; asssying we'll. The drift from winze
on 18th level, to connect with upraise
from 18th level, is also looking very we'll.
Our pump is expected here in day or
two and l trust to be soon at full work.
The mills are running on ore and every.
thing working WE'LL"
DEooRATIoNs.-In our issue last week
We neglected to mention the manner In
which Browns Hall was decorated on
the occasion Of the Odd Fellows Ball.
The gentlemen who had charge of the
decoration deserve great credit for the
tasty style in which the hall was hung
with evergreens and the pretty display Of
the regalia of the Order. The hanging
Of several bird cages, covered in by
wreaths OF evergreens. and the songs Of
the birds, added much charm to the
gayety OF the evening.
YANKEE FoRK.-We were shown let
ter from P. j. Cullen. written at Yankee
Fork, which stated that he had been
there few days, had been month and
three days making the trip, and had tray
eled the last three days on snow-shoes.
The ground there is covered with from
three to twelve feet of snow. so nothing
can be told about the country, and the
work heretofore done is all on the sur
face and is now all covered with snow.
Beans straight, and limited supply Of
them, ia now the diet of the camp.

A RuMoR has been prevalent around
our streets to the effect that Jay Cool
has purchased the entire interest thai
Bob Morrow holds in the Meadow Val
ley mine for the purpose of starting il
up; but, like all the rest of the rum or
we hear around now days, this one car
not be traced 10 any reliable source.

lately used for teaching operations, is be
