the Murphy brothers, Joseph Bussell
and others set out on search for GOLD
but were unsuccessful, confessing on
their return they would not have known

formed a trading company and hit upon
the happy scheme of hiring Jose Jesus

traded them merchandise. They took all

robes. and bought all the calico, beads
red bandana handkerchiefs, raisins and
other things to tempt the Indian eye
and appetite obtainable. The store
was opened at dry diggings" on the
present site of Weaversville.
The Indians brought in the gold and
traded pound for pound, a pound OF
gold for a pound of beads. The stock
was exhausted but the gold kept COM

shirts and drawers excepted, boots and
stockings included and sent to Yerba

as Angels Camp.

The next day the company received
tidings from the Indians of another rich
strike at what was subsequently named
Hangtown and is now Placerville. What

rows of scallops. These scallops were
cut to show an underskirt of bright
tartan under a network of heavy green
silk cord that held the edges of the
scallops in place.
The corsage was a blouse of the cloth,
that opened over narrow bed of the
tartan. 1t was made with short, pointed
basques that were faced with the tartan
and edged with a fold of dark green
velvet. Two broad, round collars of the
cloth edged with velvet, gave the effect
of revers at the front. Round the neck
there was a high frill of batiste, worked
and edged with silk in the same colors
as the plaid taffeta. This frill formed
sort of jabot at the front of the vest.
The sleeves were long and had very little
fullness at the tops. They were finished
with small, faring cuffs and at the top
were trimmed with three bands OF the
velvet.

men now flocking to the mines. In Oc-

barcadero at Stockton loaded with goods
for the new mines on the Stanislaus

them and Mrs. Isbell was sent for tc

Cured the first murder in the mining
regions, that of a German and lad OF
10 years, who had earned $4,000 in the
mines and was on his way to Stockton
to send it to his grandmother in New
Jersey. The murder occurred within
sixteen miles of the ranch by Sidney
duck" named Lynch, who had camped
near the house and taken his meals
there.
Lynch escaped, and falling In with
three other roughs, went south and
murdered the Reed family at San Miguel
and stole s3OOO the proceeds Of the sale
of band of sheep.
Their ill-gotten gains were Of no ben

gold into the sea above Ventura, jumped
in after it and were shot by soldiers. For
many years afterward it was a custom
airy thing after storms for the native
CalifornianS to be seen searching the
beach in hope Of finding the treasure.

They reached nearly to the waistband.
The corsage was of white moire braid
ed with the soutache. over it was
draped the cloth in bib" fashion, back
and front. The moire was cut away at
the neck to show a ''V" of the cloth
tucked across in fine tucks.
The sleeves of the cloth were mounted
with short high puffs. Just below the
puffs the cloth was laid in series of
narrow tucks that reached nearly to
the elbows. The narrow ceinture was
of white moire. A rich promenade gown
worn by matron in her forties was
made of elephants gray ladies' cloth.
A NEAT SKIRT
The skirt was cut with very little
flare at the bottom, and the fulness at
the back was laid in two narrow box
plaits. Around the bottom it was
trimmed with narrow band of black
astrakhan, headed with narrow black
soutache sewed in a 'zig-zag" line. The
corsage was of gray velvet in a deeper
shade than the skirt. 1t was braided
closely with the black soutache. The
corsage was cut with rounded basques
that gave the effect of a jacket opening
over a vest of accordion plated white
