from one end to the other, the intentions
in the wood being sunk in pretty deep.
This shows that the Board Of Examiners
gave the young ladies' some very hard
nuts to crack" The doctor has placed
this pencil in his cabinet of curiosities.
We will not tell, through fear, which one
OF the young ladies' endeavored to eat the

ATTENTION. 1t is the practice OF many

THERE are rumors afloat about a strike
being made in the Day mine, and we
have good reasons for believing that the
rumors are we'll founded. As to the ex.
tent and quality Of the ore. we are unable

THERE has been another body OF good
ore struck in Prudential & Co.'S. mine
in Comet District. Samples sent to town

Comet District is holding its own in all
respects, and it only requires little
work to show that it pos esses real merit.
