to the island he reported the fact, and our force
proceeded at once to place themselves In a state
Of readiness for an attack.
This Is supposed to be a portion Of the Burn

throughout large portion Of Southern Missouri,
with as much net profit, in fact, as in Colorado.
The product, is not so great, but the cost Of se-

equally advantageous to the miner. The Judge
is anxious that the owners Of the lands in the

the gold into market at once, - . work alike

this Greene is made to swear that the contents
are true! The thing is pretty we'll got up

be quite conscious that no one will credit it Of
