Just at present he is in New York lecturing onthe resources of Wood River. He draws a glowing picture of that section. There-are a few men who can draw as handsome a picture as Billy Anderson, Welectared before the New York Bullion Clab recent= ly. The Sentinel hopes that he may make a big haul in his new field of operations, During one of Nevada City’ 8 great fires he narrowly escaped with his life from a burning building. The flames caught him before he got out. and he was marked for life with . some ugly scars. > oe Finding Faalt. What has become-of-the--milKaryencampment?
