about fifty miles north of the Great
Northern Railroad"
Mr.. Jennings, Sam Drumheller, the
Spokane banker, and others have lately
secured mining interests there. Mr.. Jen-
nings brought down samples of the ore.
THE district is unique one" said he,
land unlike what most people would ex-
pect for country promising riches Is
pretty to look at. 1t is called the Red Hill
District. because of the peculiar red color
of the hills thereabout. Mr.. Drumheller,
myself and other associates have secured
ten properties there.
ut is not an arid region. Grass grows
all over the hills. The ore of the Red Hill
mines carries gold, silver and copper"
Mr.. Jennings home is at Spokane. He
will remain in San Francisco most of the
winter.
