activity i'll that camp this spring. He
has taken hold of the old Democrat
mine and has confidence in the future
Of this property. Mr.. Dunn is practi-
cal miner and his knowledge of the con-
ditions prevailing at Pierce gives conf
dence in his Judgment. He knows
more about Pierce quartz prospects than
any other man and when he says the old
Democrat can be made dividend payer
nobody will dispute the proposition.
wv. Denny and Charles Nc CURE
have made an important discovery on
Mill creek, about five miles from the
Fountain house on Craigs mountain.
They have found big porphyry dixie,
in which is ledge so feet wide, of sand
carbonate ore, which conveys good value
in the surface. This formation is very
favorable for gold value and it is not i'm
probable that great mine will be devel-
oped right near home. The locators have
secured water rights and mill sites pre-
paratory to the development of a bonanza.

Wallula division to this section, as fast as

the right of way through the school lands
Whitman county this week, and he is
now negotiating with individual land
owners along the route.
