believe, which will not support from

this of which we write, and which
contributes to the business of Mari

bring her out. Our legislature should
discourage wildcat business and
speculation. Let there be an earnest
effort among the mining and bust

real legitimate work and that only.
1t will take capital and time, but the
results will be permanent.
