sunk on the General vein and all are
happy over the discovery OF two new
veins there one, over ten feet and the
other ever 16 feet.
The Limestone quarry on the north
bank OF the PuyallOp river, one and one
half miles south OF Elhi and near to the
Alderton station is pronounced success
Extensive depOsites Of bog irou ore have
quite recently been discovered not far
from South Prairie. If in sufficient
quantities, there is no reason why they
could not be worked cheaply with coal,
lime, wood and water all as convenient as
coull be desired, and also transportation
equally convenient for the manufactured
iron.
That valley is perhaps better adapted
to the growth of fruit Of all kinds than

success. Perhaps the Chief difficulty

Last week attention was called to the
improvements under way at Mr.. Gem
forts new townsite of Marysville, near
the mouth ef Ebey Slough. The region
back OF there affords more inducement
to settlers than any other one point in
this county. Some fifty families could
easily be located on extra fertile land,
much oft beaver marsh, all very easily
improved, and most Of it Government
land subject to entry as pre- ,emptions or
homesteads, on what will be main
travelled route between the Snohom-
lsh and. Stilaguamish valleys. Mr..
Comfort will gladly assist all desiring
homes there in finding claims and locat-
ing on the land. For several years the
place has been kept from settlement and
cultivation because no one undertook
doing what Mr.. Comfort is SO well do
ing. Those desiring homes should at

the office of telegraph operator at that
station for several yeaIs past, to the en-
tire satisfaction of every one, and his
finances are sufficiently improved so that
he now is having built for himself the
finest residence IN that part of the
county. The size OF the main part is
20x24 feet. with 16 feet posts. At the
rear Of the main building is an addition
one story high size, 12xl4 feet. The
very best Of material will be used in its
construction. 1t is located in very
prominent position, so that it can be
seen nearly all over Port Gardner bay,
making it much easier to see where to
go to reach the Office. There will be
porch on the front and along one side
of the main building. The up stairs
will be divided into three bed rooms.
