pic mountains. This time they bring
back some fine looking rock, which
they haye sent to the Tacoma smelter
for an assay, and feel sure they have
something worth working. AS soon
as they get returns the party will re-
turn and go to work developing their

We learn that George Weymouth, of
Dayton, had close call from fire last
Sunday. But for the fact that a nun-
Der of his friends had congregated at
the Dayton school house for church
services he would in all probability
have lost everything he had in the
way of improvements on his home
place. Mr.. Sigh passed Mr.. Wey-
mouths place and found him fighting
the fire for dear life. He passed on to
the school house and informed the peo-
pie there of the trouble at Weynouth's
and the whole male portion of the con-
gregation, headed by Mr.. Sigh, ad

fire twice and his dwelling was on fire
once. Fortunately he saved every
thing except his fences which were all
burned.
