HOOVER'S WHOLESALE LIQUOR & SALOON

Niles Hoover runs a bar and package store out of this one-story wood sided building. He is helped by Harry Rote, bartender and minor partner in the establishment (to the tune of 20%).

Hoover's is a favorite gathering place for the local prospectors since Hoover and Rote are both partial to hair-brained schemes and will often grubstake a miner with an interesting proposition. The two men are already part owners in 3 different played-out or unprofitable mines in the area .

Hoover charges:
$2 a bottle for the "house whiskey,"
$3 a bottle for "genuine Kentucky bourbon" and
$5 a bottle for "real imported scotch whiskey."
He has champagne available at $6 a bottle and
California wines for 75 cents.
Beer sells for 80 cents per 24-bottle case (plus a 10 cent deposit on the bottles).

Hoover and Rote board at THE DOUBLE EAGLE.

DM Note: Rote keeps his single action 6-shot revolver under the bar.
