The dancing continued in the most
agreeable manner until IL 80 o'clock
when supper was announced. II was
gotten up by Johnny Gilman in his
usual excellent style. After doing
justice to the various viands Mayor
Jake Keeser, who had been assigned
the post Of honor at the head OF one of
the tables by general consent. was
called upon for speech. To this he
conformed and made short but pleas
ing address. He was followed by
Judge E. B. Lennon, Maj. Frank
Cavanah, J. NJ. Thexton, Aleck Simp.
son, J. Kemp van Ee. Geo. w. Brizee,
Esq. and H. G. Foljambe. The re
marks Of each were intended to be
more pleasant than logical and seemed
to be fully appreciated by all present.
After supper the merry dancers again
tripped the eight fantastic" until
nearly a. m. when the participants
in the p!easurabls assemblage dis
persed to their respective homes to
dream Of Terpsichorian fairies leap
ing from stem to stem and flower to
flower, among beds Of roses, keeping
step to the quivering wings of the
humming bird and the music of the
bee.
We would like very we'll to give the
names Of the participants in this
pleasant affair, but AZ We have already
trespaesed upon your space to great
extent, for the issue next proceeding
election, we will have to forbear.
Should we give part OF the names Of
the ladies present and not all of them
there would be voice of wailing in
this camp as of "Rachel weeping for
her children and would not be com
forted"-besides your correspondent
might lose his hair.
Mr.. Foljambe goes with our best
wishes but he returns ere the robins
nest again. He is expected back about
the first of April.
On Sunday morning last, after the
night run and before the change to
the day shift, Jake Reeser's mill caught
fire. A candle had been left in a
miners candle-stick which burned
down to the ring which held it and
then dropped to the floor. The fire
ran up the side OF post to the rooi
and ignited the shingles. Fortunately
it was discovered and extinguished
with little loss 1t will take about 1000
shingles to patch up the roof. Were
it not for the recent rain and snow
the mill would have been now in ruins
j. NJ. Thexton. the celebrated mill
wright, having completed the Silver
Mountain mill, returned to this place
last Saturday. On the day Of his ar
rival he lost valuable diamond set
ting to ring. He offered $25 reward
to the finder, but it is not probable ht
will ever see it again. The streets or
that day were soft and it is probabl,
forever out IF sight.
There is II perfect mania for taking
up lots in this camp. Lumber is be
ing piled up on the lots taken, found
atoms laid, frames put up, etc. The
Chinese garden running along the
road just above the business part o.
town has been appropriated. 1t had
been cultivated for years, and wher

The snow that visited us last week
was all gone in and about town in d
short time. Considerable yet remains

We regret very much that we have
to omit our mining news but it will
