o'clock, prompt, and await the arrival
of the Bullion Miners Union. w. II.

sunrise, and a national salute at noon,
This will be in charge of Sam. Brit
ton, an ex-artilleryman.

clude about : o'clock, and at 4 O'Clock
there will be PROCESSION of Horri.
bles in town.
The fireworks will begin at half
past 8. The ball in the Theater at 9
o'clock.
