Wednesday was the first payday ever
passed in our camp without the accom-
paniment of the click Of poker chips,
the rattle of dice and the sound of
shufIiing cards. The festive tinhorn
was here without an occupation and
looking disconsolate. Quiet reigned,
even the old drunks looked sad. The
barroom could not stir up any of the
old-time enthusiasm.

party at the home of Mrs. Granville,
and presented her a very beautiful
jewel box and silver handled blotter,

been confined within doors, and were
lble to give us taste of the pleasure
hey will give us at their concert, to be
,iven on the Goth. Every body ought

money the boys take in will be expended

Mr.. Thomas Duncalf, the Oldest and
me of the most respected miners in
his camp, now in Salt Lake as a dele

federation of Miners, has gotten him
elf into trouble with his former warm
