An Extensive Business For Sale

On account of various matters in
which he is interested demanding so
much OF his attention, r. H. Cowles

chandise Store, the lot on which it
stands, a large fre-proof cellar, the
stock of goods on hand, the good will,

goes on the wings of the wind. Travel
stopped. Prospectors grew discouraged
and left the camp. The stores suffered,
business fell from the hotel man, the
demand for livery rigs fell of, miners
out of work curtailed the consumption
of whiskey, the hardware man got no
mere orders for drills and picks and
powder, and everybody sat down to wait
and waited till Winter was at the door.
And that is how a few men "who have
no case can retard a mining camp and
work the entire community injustice
and injury.
The DISPATCH will now take up the
mines again and speak the truth about
them. We do not hope to accomplish
much before Spring but as long as there
is anything that we can do to promote
promising properties and develop min
ing camps that have merit and encour-
age industries that will make the money
circulate, those things we will do and
we will succeed. The growth of the
mining camp may be slow but it is sure.
There are mines of merit there and with
an even chance the fact will be shown.

la, Ethel Epperson, Myrtle York, Alice
Jackman, Nina Blanchard, Nevada
Lothrop, frankie Crosby and Louisa
Bryant.
The sprites were just too cute for any
thing and captured the hearts OF the
audience and had to come back and sing
some more. And the poor dollies saw
dust insides must have been seasick
with the swinging they got. Bessie
Linton was on one end and Dell Cook on
the other and they made great lend
men, and Florence Cook was in the
middle, on either side of her Ruth
Hampton and Dollie Cowles.
Fannie Pike and Lilah Abbay had a
world of trouble until they gave up the
evil fairies for the good ones.
Myrtle York's song came in for lots of
praise and it was sweetly sung. )
The boys and girls will have another
full house whenever they sing again.
