The Hon. Adolphus Phantasmagsri-
um Sutro has gone 70 Warrington. BE
has left the place where his attention
b conferred. and HE'D himself 70

do not fear that 6utro viii succeed

any apprehension tAss he will succeed
in engineering any subsidy sehsns for

THAR interests are al stake. Miners are
accustomed TO great risks, sacrifices and
dangers. They are . bold. s~nergstio

and hazardous undertakings the imam

But they pale before the mere rumor OF
