been added. Some of these pictures
represent the first working of the
mine with sluices and cradles, and
others show the introduction of ma
chinery five years later, when the
mine has proved a bonanza and is
working full blast. New lines have
also been added.-The Minneapolis

g hey never came" He did not try
to sell any very large bill Of goods he
just wanted people to try his house
and they would be satisfied, and we
