grown thickets of lilac, azalea, and odorous 

 blossoming shrubs. 



Squaw Gulch is a very sharp, steep, 

 ragged-walled ravine, and that part of Jim- 

 ville which is built in it has only one 

 street, in summer paved with bone- 

 white cobbles, in the wet months a frothy

 tin cans and packing cases, run footpaths 

 drawing down to the Silver Dollar saloon. 

 When Jimville was having the time of its
