-Fennimore Times Review: Bill
Anderson of Anderson Mills returned
home from the Klondike last week.
1t will be remembered that he was one

the mosquitoes make life miserable for
a person there, the smaller ones that
come in May, literally swarming
around the miner. Mr.. Anderson
brought some specimens of gold mug
gets along with him, but he was not
successful in mining any large quaint

there but it is difficult to get.
