$3.50 PER YEAR.

Walker has a happy faculty of getting
together small groups of stage artists
in the various lines represented, and
when one of these companies goes on
the road with the Walker brand the
public has learned to understand there
is merit in the performance. In max
ing the Jump from one Canadian town
to another along the border these
troupes, passing through Oroville, are
compelled to lay over one night, and
it is by that means the people of this
place have an opportunity they would
not otherwise enjoy of being able to
attend first class performances. "The
Merry Musicians" come highly recon-
mended as one of the best among the
several Walker combinations. 1t is
announced as "a refined entertainment
embracing the desirable features of
white minstrels and high class vaude-
ville." Such well known artists as G.
G. Eckhardt, Matt Greig and Mae
George are among the performers. 1t
is a troupe that can be recommended
to the public without fear that those
who attend the performance will be
disappointed in the character of the
entertainment.

LYRIC TIL EATER.

This paper was somewhat premature
last week in stating that AL. Farquair,
the moving picture man, had leased
the Cummings building for a term of
years. The item was written on the
strength of statement made by Mr..
Farquier, and as that individual did
not report that his negotiations with
Mr.. Cummings had fallen through the
item was published in perfect good
faith. However, it appears that Mr.
Farquier was disappointed in making
a deal for the Cummings building. If
disappointed he was by no means dis
couraged for he Immediately opened
up negotiations with Geo. Stoltz for
the building opposite the Radbourn
hotel, that has long been used as a
restaurant. An understanding was
soon soon reached. Mr.. Stoltz was
anxious to get out of business, and Mr..
Farquier puychased the furniture and
took building, christening it the Lyric
theatre. The room is hardly model
for moving picture show, but Mr..
Farauier has made the best of the only
quarters available, and fitted 1t up so
make it answer the purpose.

The PALMER LAKE MINE
A Chicago Company Carrying
Out an Extensive System
of Development.
An EXCELLENT MINING pROSECT
With a Well Defined Ledge and
Most Encouraging Miner
al Indications.

In conversation recently with Geo.
Riste it was learned that DEVELOPMENT
work Isl in progress on the group of
claims owned by the Palmer Lake
Mining company, and that the show
ings being made are of most en-
couraging character, all of which is a
pleasure to note, Us the writer was
over,the ground when the claims were
merely prospect and the surface in
dications were of a nature that seemed
to justify more thorough exploitation.
The holdings of the company to
which reference is here made are To-
Gated on the south slope of Ellemeham
mountain, well up in the air. at the
north end and on the east side of Pal
mer lake. The original work was in
the shape of an incline Shaft following
down on a well defined ledge, through
which mineral was shot in profusion.
The values at the slight depth gained
were not what could be called high
grade, but held at good figures and
were improving with depth. The ledge
was in excellent position for easy pros
pecting, and work of development
could be carried ON at very moderate
cost as compared with what it general
ly costs to open up a mining property.
The company that is now operating
on these Palmer lake claims is made
up of Chicago investors, and as enter
prises backed by the Chicago spirit
are not in the habit of dragging, it is
confidently felt that those interested
in this venture will use considerable
| diligence, which means the eXpendi-
ture of no little money and a cores
| pOnding amount of labor in ascertain
ing what they have in this property in
the way of mine. Surface indica-
tions are not always infallable evidence
of the presence of mineral in paying
quantities, but it is mighty good
thing to create expectations, and there
is enough scattered around the Palmer
| lake group to induce exhaustive re-
search, with the chances decidedly in
| favor of rich reward.

up their residence in the handsome
and coy bungalow in the western part
of town that the groom had built last
fall, where they will be at home to
their friends after the lst of February.

monial alliance was not an unexpected

instance-was a fulfllment of that
promise. Seldom has young couple

festive day in Oroville. While the
people. of the place are not conspicu-

of decorum. The law is pretty strictly
enforced, saloons and business houses
are closed, and while in all probability

just sufficient snow on the ground to
supply the common expectation of a

no sign that the day was not happy

MASK BALL.

AS the time approaches for the Civ
ing of the mask ball under the au-
spicies of the Women of Woodcraft it
is not likely that any body is going to
overlook the great annual Social event.
However, to head off any lapse of MEM
ory this means is taken to keep the
subject fresh in the minds OF the pub
lie. The date for this funny dance IS
fixed for next Monday night, January
|, and gives patrons of the pastime an
opportunity to start the new year IN a
merry manner. 1t is an inocent means
of revelry, TO those who have no con-
scientious scruples against the mazzy
pastime, judging from the crowds that
have attended similar entertainments
in the past the masquerade of the WIN
ter of 1901 will be most literally
patronized.

SAME OLD JOLLY FESTIVITIES.

The Christmas trees and accom-
panying exercises, one at the Presby-
terian church last Friday evening and
the other at the Nj. E. church the fol-
lowing evening, drew large crowds as
such attractions always do. The former
tree bore fruit abundantly to make
merry she hearts of the children. 1t
was decided not to accept presents for
the latter tree, and it's attraction was
confined to decorations. Both trees
presented glittering and gorgeous
appearance, with the many colored
decorations and the myriad lights
scattered through the branches. A
special attraction at the Presbyterian
tree was diminative aroplane, very
ingeniously put together by Rev. H.
M. Course, who has an inventive and
mechanical turn of mind. The toy
made frequent trips across the church,
by means of rope attachments. and
" .s the source os much amusement to
young and old alike. The programmes
at both entertainments were we'll rem
dered, and were pleasing features of
the Christmas tree festivities.

LOOKING FOR LAND.

ii. ii. Granger, of Davenport, an
old friend of ye editor, spent several
days in Oroville during the past week
looking over the country. That is to
say his mission here was to look over
the country with a view of seizing
some of the rare fat land scattered a.
round out doors, provided, of course,
owners did not put figure on it out of
all reason. Much to his Disappointment
flooring of white covered the earth
and he was thus unable to catch a
glimpse of the soil, and our friend
Granger has had too much experience to
take chances of guessing right blind
folded. In the days when we were
younger, and that was quite while a.
go, Mr.. Granger was more familiarly
known among his cronies as "Jakey."
He had bent toward photography,
and subsequently blossomed out in the
mercantile way. But we all had hard
shedding breaking into life's game, at
that period, and "Jakey," at times
found it hard to make both ends meet
Drifting apart in the general scramble
to improve worldly conditions sight
was lost of our friend Granger. 1t APP
pears that tickle fortune smiled on
"Jakey" after long avoiding his neigh
borhood, and during the past few years
success has crowned every venture up
on which he has embarked, until now
he is living down near the course of
Easy street and Independent avenue.
While ye editor has faculty somehow
of always dragging behind, he feels
keen pleasure in hearing of good for
tune falling to old timers, and hence
was glad exceedingly to learn that
Mr.. Granger is on top financially.

BACK TO THE SOIL

Geo. Stoltz, who has closed down the
restaurant he has been conducting on
the south side of the track for several
years, will move on to his desert claim,
north of town, and become full
nedged tilier of the soil. There are
few cooks who can surpass Mr.. Stoltz
in the art of preparing a toothsome
meal, and his restaurant has always
drawn class of patrons who want the
best, and are willing to pay for what
they got. 1t was not on account of
any lack of business that Mr.. Stoltz
gave up catering to the public, for his
establishment always drew paying
patronage. He has applied himself so
long and closely to indoor labor that
his system has run down, and fearing
for his health, which is more valuable
to any man than riches, he decided to
go in for the simple life, with open
air exercise as tonic. and sun shine
as bracer.
