Al first thought OF placing them in Port

city.
Il believe our steamer sails on July Is.

he would meet me here In Seattle before
I sailed. He was going on TO San Fran
cisco from salt Lake.
There are acme people who do not talk
Clondyke all the time. Three men sat IN
the lobby of the Butler last night, and
commenced talking mines. Singular as 1t
may seem. they discussed a number OF
properties and districts for half an hour
without once mentioning the famous
placer camp OF the Northern Eidorado.
The men who formed the interested
group III the Butler were Paul CASTOR.
