WHAT PEOPLE SAY.
A Transient Record OF Private Opinions
Publicly Expressed.

J b. CurrcnI-Mining expert Carter in
his report Of the God Hill mining camp
ptonounces it wonderful" He says he
never saw better prospects in his
forty-lour years experience in mining
He sent several samples OF ore 70 his
a.ss,er at Bette. who reports the ore as
yielding practically what the assays
showed ni our mines published in The
HERALD.
John Sswbridge-I have been up to
my mines in he Gold Hill district with
a mnlug expert from England. He does
not wish the results of his investigations
published vet Yakima will lose the
trade OF that camp yet on account OF lack
of interest in getting road in there.
The trade will probably 20 to Buckley
and Tacoma.
Mining Expert Carter-I had tough
time in getting to the Gold Hill camp.
There is practically no road at all for
half the distance. 1t showed so much
that Expert aldrich and myself could
nor see the ground. The specimens of
ore we found. however, show that it is
go ny to be wonderfully rich camp.
Quite as cool rs ever saw, taking it as
avn lie.

c. II Hoppe oi Observation-Disclosures
with MY wife have been travelling the
past three months, principally in Cali
fornla, in search of health and q location
for a future home. In all our travels We
have seen no place that takes orr eye as
does North Yakima. The evidences of
prosperity, thrift and enterprise are
abroad ont here in your little city and
quite ia contrast with some parts OF the
country we have visited. Should | see
an opening in some kind of business it
would afford rs much pleasure to remain
here.
DR.. Banks-Mayor Fechter must either
grow whiskers or leave the city. Time
and again have been hailed as the chief
executive OF the city, and through no
misrepresentation on my part. Because
people say he looks like me is no reason
why should be compelled to grow Il
beard-it is the other fellow who is to
blame. Before Rev. Mr.. Hawk left
was often taken for the pastor of the
First M. +. church, aud was compelled
to speak to Mr. Hawk about it, and
erend gentleman left the city. Now it is
the mayors turn to 90 and leave me an
open field
c. II. Breeder-Mr. Cowies, the pro-
prelor of the Spokesman Review, with
which paper | have been connected for
the past ten years, is thorough news
paper man. Hs father was one OF the
owners of the Chicago Tribune and the
son served in every capacity on that jour
nal-from the press room up. His father
left him and two brothers a million aud
a halt in stock and the present owner of
the Spokesman Review invested in the
building and plant. He also married
very wealthy and resides with his young
family in the building. He is a repub-
lican in politics but runs the plant as a
purely business proposition and is
making IL great success OF it.
G. q. Rideout-The Seattle Times is
growing at phenomenal rate. There
are 800 people first and last on the pay
roll There are ten on the editorial and
reportorial 'orce alone. Col. Blethen,
the editor-in-chlef, is now in Europe.
