Grande Company. not the "King Com.

two freight cars with the precious stuff.
The mill was idle about two weeks last
summer while putting in increased anal.
gamating pans. The value of this pile
OF silver bricks Is about 1858, 400, and
the production is constant.

suggest rich sirloins and roasts, as soon
