The California Legislature will un-
doubtedly pass a bill to erect a monu-
ment to the Bonner Party. 1t is
claimed that $4,000 will do the work and

A man remarked the other day, refer
ring to the Index: ooh, there amt
nothin' in it," He would think there

1t is proposed to get up a "shoe social"
in a short time. All the ladies go be-
hind a screen and stick the toes of their

The Comstock mines paid to employees
for services during the month of Deem
Der, SAC, 092. rs. The payroll this
month is $50, 324.75 less than last month
and $26, 426. rs less than hat of Novem-

and if the mine is not opened this month
