"I am. also Instructed to convey to your organization the gratification of the Yreka Miners arising from the laudable exhibition of clvlo pride and neighborllneos shown by your organ I cation In preparing such an Interest ing and well executed entry. It waa the feeling of the Miners, and, we are certain, of all the spectators, that . your entry not otily was of the great est assistance In giving1 to the par ade the color and tone we desired, but that It would have been a credit to any organization In any parade. We re very proud that your organiza tion took sufficient Interest In the Oold Rush to bring such a fine entr? and we thank you for coming. We hope to see you soon and often."
