practical decline in print cloths was a
source OF depression on the part Of OPP

grows and more people arrive,
attracted there by a possibility

may turn up and create lively
times for the new camp.
And spring comes and with it
many new arrivals and business
in the camp begins to flourish as
everyone st arts with great ex-
pectations. The prospectors do
their share in making things boom
by starting reports of wonderful
finds in the adjacent hills and once
in a while one OF them will exhibit
piece of ore which he has
carried with hun for years just
for such purposes and tell the
tenderfeet that an assay of that
ore goes way up into The thou
sands. He tells The truth, too,
but he is very careful not to let
anyone into the secret where the
ore originally came from.
Spring passes and no producer
has yet been found. There are
indications of pay ore here, there
and IN other localities, but no vein
that could be traced, no pocket
which would pay in working out.
