As mentioned in Wednesdays issue,
Mrs. Ricketts, went to Flowsry District
day before yesterday and exercised her
powers In an examination Of the ground
Of North Bonanza and Flowsry and
other mines. Yesterday a representative
Of the News sought an interview with

the general anxiety which 10 manifested
to know what she has TO say Of that
section OF country.
Whatever may be thought BY the gen.
ersl public with reference to the powers
Mrs. Ricketts, 10 said to possess, she is
certainly conscientious, sincere. honest.
She places full confidence In these
powers. and says that her belief 10 their

can denus ore bodies. She will not,
however. pretend to more than she can
accomplish, aud hence says that she will
not attempt to tell slsays at what depth
these ore bodies lie. She can. however.

this il aside from the use OF her instru.

The two together mislesd her. and
no one can talk with her for . moment
without giving her credit for the greatest
measure OF sincerity 10 these matters.

greatest victim OF her own deception.

This shows both her faith in her powers
and her sincerity.
She says that Wednesday neither Mr..

requested her to 60 hrst up to the old
workings. She knew nothing OF these
workings or what had ever been done or
found there. She entered the tunnel
and further on she told Mr.. Jackson
that there was ore there and which way
the ledge was pitching. There was q
little orc above where the vein had been
worked. but the greater portion lay In
the ledge proper and further north aud
