A year ago she and her son, young
man of just u, went north. When the
Olympia gentleman was up on the Queen

very rich ledge of ee-milling quartz on
small Alaska island called Venina. The
ledge extended clear across the island.
Not only this, but he had located other
claims in the names of his son and former
wife, who were on the ground developing
the property. Campbell himself had
formed new matrimonial alliance with
a dusky alden OF the forest, and remains
true to her. The ledge is enormous in
