Gems of Points Coulee and the Okano-

with us in the establish ment of
permanent thoroughfare to Salmon

perfect belt of mineral and those who
wish to invest in mines and new pros
poets must come hither at once, as
great rush will be made to these parts
in early spring. New buildings are
going up on every hand. Page has his
bill of lumber for his new hotel on the

are going up at present that the new
brewery and beer hall and the large
lake house Oummer resort must wait
until next month for lumber. Now is
the time to make good investment.

country, and it will ever be pleasant
to give information regarding new
mines in and around Salmon City.
