ing towards fame. Weiser, Wa.
ington county and her mines are the
topic for thousands of tongues. The
name of Seven Devils is ringing from
ocean to ocean, and heralding sea-
son of unsurpassed prosperity, that
is if the people will grasp the oppor
tunities now presented. The bust
ness men of Weiser now have an op-
portunity of securing an immense
trade from the mines this year if they
will grasp it with an iron hand and
hold it, The farmer of the county
will find thousands of mouths to sup
ply with vegetables up there this
season and should govern himself
accordingly. Everybody can be ben
eftted by our prosperity. The fol-
lowing letter from G. F. Drake, now
at Lincoln, Neb., may give a slight
idea Of our popularity abroad:
"ED. SIGNAL:-1 left Weiser for
the east last November and since
that time have visited Omaha Kan
sas city, Chicago, Chippewa Falls,
Wis, st. Paul and am now on my
return to Idaho, but shall stop here
few weeks. | have seen speci-
mems Of Seven Devils ore in every
place visited, and in each of the
f above-named cities have seen articles
published in the leading papers
speaking of the wonderful copper
mines in Seven Devils, Washington
@ county, Idaho; and l have found
q capitalists in these cities who are
r. very much interested in our county
o and will send their representatives
r out to make investigation regarding
q our mines. There was never brighter
prospects than lies before the miners
and property holders in Seven Devils
today. ! also see glowing report:
{ regarding our new town of Weisel
} which has sprung up as if by magic
. at the gateway to the mines. L
Ie would be well for Weser to do some
Is thing to advertise her wonderful
il advantages, or Baker city, Oregon
. will reap the advantages which be-
long to us. Baker is advertising its
10 resources and claims to be the gate
u way to the greatest mines in the
Il world. 1t would be great advan
ie tage to Weiser to get up repor
showing its resources and have tn,
same printed in sheet form in th'
,t Monthly Union Pacific Pathfinder, il
form similar to Governor Shoup'
,e admirable report Of 1889 in regard Il
Of the Ceur d'Alene country, which wa
p printed in the December number o
10 the Pathfinder. These are sent t.
I'd all parts of the country and woul'
" be of great advantage to Weiser.- =
