had considerable headway before it was discovered. Three men with water pails and hard work saved
the main building after the roof was destroyed. There was no insurance on the property.
RETURNING.—Several miners who went over the mountains, a few months ago, to get work,
have returned to Grass Valley. There is plenty of work over in Nevada State, but these men prefer to
work at Grass Valley where the surroundings are more pleasant.
A REMINDER.—The Vice President of the State Dental Association Dr. S. M. Harris, presented
us yesterday with a box of cigars, a sample of those smoked in San Francisco at the late Convention
of Dentists. The cigars are good, and as we puff one we return thanks to Doc. Harris.

A STRANGER’S FUNERAL.—Yesterday afternoon a procession, composed of a few persons,
went through the street to the old cemetery, following the remains of a young man who died here
last Wednesday. The deceased was Degarmo Lancaster, of Clinton, Michigan, aged about 22 years.
He came here for his health, but consumption, with which he was afflicted, claimed its victim.
His mother arrived a few hours before his death, from her Eastern home. We are requested by the
mother to return her heartfelt thanks to those of Grass Valley who have shown so much kindness to
her son and so much sympathy to herself.

JOCKEY CLUB MEETING.—Yesterday afternoon a meeting of the Jockey Club was held
at Glenbrook Race course. The meeting was called to order by the President, William Watt. The
