He was taken out of the shaft, carried to the company’s office and everything done for him that could
be suggested. Dr. Simpson soon arrived at the Idaho, but surgery was of no avail. Edmonds lived

BEAR RIVER BRIDGE.—We noticed some days ago that the rush of waters in Bear River ad
broken the bridge over that stream, on the lower, or Coleman road. The broken bridge is soon to
be repaired. Mr. Ben. Taylor, Superintendent of the road, has made arrangements to employ all the
hands in the work of repairing which can be put to work. In a few days the shorter and better road
between Colfax and Grass Valley will be re-opened to the traveling public. No time will be lost in the
reconstruction of the bridge, and in the meantime the road is being made smooth.
LODGE FURNITURE, BOOKS, REGALIA, ETC.—Mrs. Fannie Leggett, authorized agent of
the publishing house of McCoy & Sickles, of New York, and the Furnishing House of Baker Brothers,
of Waukegan, III., is stopping at the Exchange Hotel, for a few days, and will receive all orders for
Masonic and Odd Fellows Regalia, Books, and all furniture for the equipment of Lodges. Orders
from the fraternities are respectfully solicited.
PANORAMA.—Barker’s Mammoth Panorama of the Four Rivers of the West will be exhibited
at Hamilton Hall, this evening and to-morrow evening. This panorama is a fine work of art, and has
been praised wherever it has been exhibited. It is one of the best series of panoramic scenes ever
offered to the public. Admission only fifty cents for grown persons; children half price.
CONTENTMENT.—Our ladies, as an almost general thing, are engaged in testing the truth of
the definition: “Contentment—to sit in the house and see other people stuck in the mud;” and many
of our young ladies avow that it is better fun than courting.
WEATHER.—The rainfall up to 9 o’clock yesterday morning for 24 hours was 0:40 inch. The
weather is as clear as a bell as we go to press.
