It repre- sents the main street ina typical mining eamp in California when miniag was the only Califorman industry. The music and aancing halls are there, the faro bauk is in fu’l operation, and on the boards of an old- time tbeater the variety actors and act- resses hold sway. The scene is of the time when men were rough and reads. dar- ing emourh for avythivg and always im search of gold. There will be many in- stances 0 relieve any, even the slightest monotony. The stage will wake its daily wisit, the miners will be ever at work, and & daily newspaper mau will tell the doings of the camp. . Of 1n another part of the grounds is the Moorish building, called Hunting Hall. It is handsomely ftted up with rich iapestries and rare carvings. There is another concession, national in fts character, as are the Vienna Prater, Castle of Heldelberg and Japamese. Itis called the Streets of Paris, and with a few ancient structures and ihe outlines of the bastile shows & section of the old French capital. It will be & pretty and picturesque place, and wilk. without doubt, have enacted Wwithin its houses many & scene of gayety.

This jrop- erty is ove of thirlcen mines owned by Davis & Jotnston. A mill will be erected on the ia the spring and work will be pushed extensively A rich body of ore was also encountered on the d King in Prospect basin, last week, suys the Denver News. So rich, in fact, thal the ore was sacked as fast as knocked down.

The city is desoiate and going to decay. No traffio is going on in its streels or business in _ils stores; no bomes are in the dwellings. The streets are graded, have sidewalks asd trees and surubbery; liowers in ibe yards surround- ug ihe residences, but all is silence and ueliness.

The other day he sent the lads up stairs with some dumnkets, and later, when a fire broke out in the garret, he found that the boys had wrapped the cloth around the stovenipe to keep it warm. The damage was sfight to the house, but the father had his firgers blistered. Perhaps he warmed the boys, too. THE DAKOTAS.

Nothing in sight. Then the gentlemen took several more pieces of rock and went back to town. These assayed even richer than the first samples, and tne capitalists were wild with excitement. They went back the following day to see the old man, who gazed upon them with unconcern as they approached. He was a taciturn individual, with an honest face, and he looked as though he would rather die than wrong any one. “My friend.” said one of the capital- ists, “what will you sell out for?” Wouldn't sell out.
