j. J. Tyler and Amos Heigh returned
on Saturday from their Silver creek
mines, over the summit OF the Cascades
IN the Gold Hill district. Mr.. Tyler says
that there was no snow in the mountains
on the west side last winter, hence ''the
water went back on them" and they had
to give up work. Had they been sup
piled with the fluid, he thinks they
would have made money in working
their claims.
The new 5000, 900 private bank is an

ings will be in North Yakima soon. He
says that he expects to be here ready for

Land Commissioner Phipps and Land
Agent Cooper, of the Northern Pacific
railroad company, were in the city on
Monday for the purpose OF examining the
list OF company lands in this county-all
Of which were regarded in price and will
soon be put on the market at lower fig
ure. This is step in the right direction
and one which can but result benefcially
to the company, in that more lands will
be opened for cultivation at a reduced
figure than could have been at the old
prices. 1t also means increase in popu-
laton for Yakima.
