Edna Maxwell Whited of Dolan, s. n
The ceremony was performed by Rev
DIR. Rowland Hanson at his residence
where the bride has been visiting. The
affair was exclusive, only a few of tn,
immediate relatives of both parties being

Mr.. Sllvernlan states that the ledge on
the Big Buffalo is 40 feet wide, and that
80 feet of it will easily average $50 per
ton, while 10 feet will go 500. That these
estimates are conservative is proved by
mill test made from the ore takeu from a
Io-foot hole sunk about the center of the
ledge. This was milled at the Banner
mill i'll Florence and $50 per ton in gold
was saved on the plates. The concentrates
were then shipped to Tacoma and the re-
turn was $2,747 i'll gold and 60 ounces sill

showed values RAINING away up in the

His pareuts reside at Wardner
and are broken hearted over the sad af-
