built cabins, the lumber for which was
in part brought from q distance OF
two thousand miles. and none of it
from less than one hundred miles.
Numerous stores and saloons has ar

well-defined street (which was here

building transgressions), the familiar
signs Of dancing and boxing bouts

comfortably filled faro and roulette es.

OF activity, for the final weeks Of fine

wintry SHOWS and blasts, and much
had to be done Individually to shield
one from these and other discomforts.
