Howdy Pardner! Hitch up your horse and take a stroll through Mineral City's Hotel & Music Hall, Cafe', Post Office, Bank, Barber Shop and Trade Goods store. There's even a Laundry at the edge of town! Swinging doors in the Music Hall will ensure that you are able to make a grand entrance - or quick get-away should the need arise. Keep an eagle eye out, though - you never know what outlaw might be hiding on those flat rooftops!
