G. j. Blumenthal, the enterprising
proprietor of the Frisco" store,
Thomas Arden, the genial host of

in great demand. Mr.. Arden is figur-
ing on building Merchants hotel
there and Mr.. Blumenthal will start

They both agree that the Mohawk

Nevada and were particularly pleas
ed at the sight of the big stamp
