CHRISTMAS IN CAMP
Day Was Observed in Keeping With
Sentiment of the Season

All things contributed to make
Christmas, 1905, one of the notable
holidays in the history Of the camp.
The day was ideal and all felt the
quickening influence of the holiday
season. The churches held special
services, the Montezuma club kept open
house all day and throughout the city
Christmas was generally observed with
family dinners, and little gatherings of
friends who assembled to pass the day.
merry Christmas was heard IN
every side. And it was truly a merry,
happy day in the camp. As the year
has been one of progress and prosperity
it is not surprising that Christmas
should be an occasion of especial re-
joicing and felicity.
The Catholic church was packed TO
the doors at the morning services, when
high Christmas mass was chanted from
the altar.
Many took the opportunity to go for
a drive in the afternoon, the public
places were crowded all day, ami
everywhere the sentiment of Christmas
time seemed to be uppermost.
The express office and postofice were
crowded with people either sending
away gifts or expecting packages from
friends at a distance. The volume Of
business handled by both of these git
delivering agencies was But
it may be said to the credit of the
working forces at both places that the
business was handled with much dis
patch and everyone had their inquiries
and wants attended to.
The employees of all the busine IS
houses received substantial remem-
ORANGES and the men at the mines were
also made to feel the ~magnanimous
sentiment of the day. The little folks
hung up their stockings and from the
number Of smiling faces seen on the
streets and in the homes, it is certain
that Santa Claus made a prolonged
stay in Goldfeld Christmas eve when
the dear old fellow is supposed to fill
to overlooking the stockings of all
good boys and girls.

WAS A UNIQUE DINNER

A large fat turkey, a bird that would
grace the board of the most fastidious
epicure, was the center of attraction in
the Offices of Norrington, Jeffrey &
Hays Christmas afternoon, when sew
eral invited guests gathered to ex-
change Christmas greetings, and to re-
gale themselves with Christmas cheer,
and succulent portions of a noble bird.
j. B. Humphrey contributed the tur-
key and the dinner was served by an
,minent chef. While taking place in
rather unconventional surroundings,
the dinner was served with as
much eclat as if it was an af-
fair of one of the social ~ccnters of the
east. The party spent a delightful
afternoon and evening and not one of
them will forget their Christmas 1905.
1t consisted of F. R. Jeffrey, B. w. Nor
rington, James Murray, George Beth
une, J. B. Humphrey and William Crane
of Bullfrog.
