DR.. tirean-I have been over to the
Republic mining camp looking after
some mining claims. The mines of that
region are undoubtedly permanent and

County Commissioner Mack (Uf Gle
Elum)-When the question of the ac-

John Cleman-I have just closed GU,
NY wool clips at lie a pound. Here are
the figures, $7,l7525. This speaks well

Office seekers and time SEWERS we had
better go it alone.

acre or can he filed on for $l6
which is six dollars cheaper than
fling lands within the railroad limits.
