ject of conversation-its effect reaching
into Long Valley.

merchant, came out last fall with only
part of his goods, the season being too
far advanced to get out his hardware, etc,
which was left in charge of an agent.
He states his store at Roosevelt is now
afoat with his whole stock of goods
ruined, and $1,000 will scarcely cover his
loss. The former site of the town is now
large lake on which all the buildings
are ahoat. Mr., Caswell of the Giant

ter, states that his mine and mill were
covered and all his machinery ruined,
his loss being over $15, 900.
