Delamar, April 5 This is O very

fluctuate, but Delamar is always the
same and business men can have a
close idea at the beginning OF the
month about what their receipts are
going to amount to.
The sole product of this camp is
gold, and up to the present time
che semi-monthly shipments OF bullion
have amounted to about the same;
always requiring five figures to des-
