for the payroll for the men on the
Mizrah. When he crossed the fiat
he took the Schneider road and when
he discovered the mistake concluded
to take another road, which he
thought would bring him out at the
Mizpah. However. on reaching the
stop of the mountain, he found that
AS was lost and as it was dark, he
Nlred not attempt to drive down the
mountain, so he left the buggy and
rode one of the horses. Thus he
wandered thorugh the mountains,
reaching the Mizpah at 1880 that
night.
AS the buggy contained a fruit
cake. cigars, etc, for the boys at the
mine for Christmas, the outfit was
soon brought into camp the next day.
Mr.. Kennedy had with him more
than $4,000 for the pay of the min
ers at Fairview

nize the difficulty of the situation,
your patriotic intentions and your
desire to prevent violence or blood
