which she adopted to hasten herself
out of this. world of pain and sorrow.
Mrs. Cook, known to Nevada City’s
residents as Miss Sallie B. Poston,
was formerly a pupil in the Washington High school of thisplace. Her
parents are well known (her mother
with her two sons still residing near
town) being at that time engaged in
fruit growing on aranch at Lost Hill.
The deceased spent several years in
a boarding-school, then returned
here and entered the High school.

amo ig our residents for the purpose
of sccuring a list of ‘Associate Members” to the Miner’s Association. It
ix needless to urge upon the people of
Nevada City the necessity for their
taking an active part in assisting
to defend the rights of the miners,
which are now being made the object of a bitter and unreasonable attack by tha grangers. We can’t
hope to retain the privilege of working the great gravel leads, by sitting
down quietty-#nd letting those who
aay we must desist from further hydraulicing 6perasions do all the fighting.—The people in the valleys
must be squarely met,—a thing that
it is impossible to do without incurriug some expense on our part.
