Scraps Of Talk Caught From Out
side Papers.
ALL ABOUT SEVEN DEVILS.


The papers coming to us from out
side points are giving great deal OF
space to Seven Devils, all of which
is doing the coming copper district
of the world more or less benefit by
attracting general attention, although
it must be said that a great deal Of
the said published news gets pretty
wide of the situation and much bears
the ear marks OF having its source
from certain circles interested in hav-
ing special coloring given to a smack
ing of the truth, in order to have
the published matter blend with their
plans. With other reports finding a
way into the press, there is consider
able question as to how much is reli-
able and how much is coloring.
