tracted there by the reported marvel,
ously rich strikes. He believes that il
there is SO much wealth scattered
around loose he can manage to pick up
some of it,
That jolly old resident of Nelson,
Ed. Spankenburg, deciding to change
his location very wisely selected Orc
vile as the most fascinating as well as
most promising point in which to hang
up his hat. He has as yet made nc
investment, but will be connected with
the liquid dispensary at the corner OF
Spokane and First avenue.

for the advance agenl of the Echardt
theatrical company. and that gentle
man declared that they were equal in
appearance to anything of like kind
that he could have procured in the
largest city. All of which goes to show
that in the GAZETTE Oroville has a
very complete printing plant.
AL. Fox is getting gasoline launch
of large carrying capacity in shape to
put in commission. This boat will be
quite an addition to the fleet OF crafts
that play on the river and lake during
the summer. Boating is coming more
and more in favor, and the new launch
will come in handy to meet the grow
ing demand for staunch water crafts.
e. G. Limbach, the mining engineer
whe is in the employ of the Palmer
Mountain Tunnel company, and whose
ability in that capacity is only sur
passed by his personal atfability, was
in town Sunday for few hours, hay

his mother-in-law in order that that
lady might take the Monday morning

unfortunate young man who recently
died by his own hands at Loomis, took
place at the Loomis cemetery Satur-
day. The deceased was member of
both the Eagles and the Miners Union,
and both organizations took part in the
obsequies. The funeral was one of the
most largely attended that has ever
taken place in that camp.
Very little is being said about it,
but the railroad contractors between
OrOville and Pateros are making med
icine. The weather has been prime
this month for railroad building, and
dirt is flying in dozen or more places
along the route. 1t now looks as tho
there would be speedy completion OF
that branch, and it cannot be finished
too soon to suit the public.

stone was visitor in Oroville Wed.
nesday, stopping over on his way home
from a trip to the north half. 1t is
evident from the record he has already
made that the commissioners acted
wisely and we'll in selecting Mr.. John.

J. G. Callahan, the one time Loomi:
publican, has taken charge of the moist
goods bazaar, at Conconully, owned by
the late Ned Payne. Mr.. Callahan, il
his business dealings, is one of the
squarest men that has ever handled
that class of goods in the county, ant
if they must have saloons at Concon
ully they could not have better citi

goods into the county from Watervillt

April LIST has been designated by tn,
council as cleaning up day. There i
no joke about this as the date would
apply. Citizens are expected to Sc,
that their premises are renovated OF

improvement in that respect, and
