Over $4,000 worth of bullion await.

The smelling company Cancelled their
Indebtedness to their employees and others
on the 10th, by liberal presentation of |
paper money.
Mr.. William Short, in the absence of |
\. St. Pierre, who has left for Osceola,
is experimenting the working of the con- |
centrating tables as well as the furnace.
Some of the Bullion boys are suffering
from what they think is lead poison, but
We are unfeeling enough to believe that
their symptoms more nearly resemble an
overdose of Panaca watermelon
Circumstances over which We had no
