recently bonded the Waverly claim on
the Clearwater for $4,000, have served
notice on the original locators of the
Dewey claim to shut down the mine and
quit all work on the same, says the Daily
Press. The gentlemen first named
claim that the Waverly lines overlap
those of the Dewey and that the Waverly
was located first The owners of the
Dewey called i'll the services of Surveyor
Shannon, who relocated the lines and
| according to this survey the lines of the
Dewey in no way interfere with those of
the Waverly. Therefore the Dewey
people declare their intention of going

| fuse to accept the lines as run by Briscoe
and assistants. Meanwhile phenomenal
showings are being made by adjacent
| claims, and Clearwater country is full of
prospectors and mining experts.
