would be right nice little gross income,
and to allow one-half for expenses would
still beat making cotton at present prices.

of gold dust.)

burned over 81 300 to the city authorities as
the profits prior to the lst of January. The
total amount should have been $3.50, but
$3.50 was reserved for the pay of constab'es.
Why this money should have been withheld,
when it has not been shown that any blind

planned.
