some carry large stocks OF goods These |
are. however. chiefly In the hands Of |
Germans. who. here as elsewhere |
seem to have monopolizcd the trade in |
all foreign goods The most Of the |
smaller stores are In the hands OF the !
Choios. or half breeds. the Offspring |
Of the Indians and the whites. These |
people do the real business OF the city. !
Moat OF their Establishments are little |
more than boxes or holes In the walls.
