Christmas in Phoenix While their
principal business is running news

they are developing on the side with
the hope and belief that some day they
will be able to give their newspaper
away and never miss it. They say the
OF their claims so far is
showing satisfactory results, though
not as good as they would like. What
that means is that in one shaft they
are down on a ledge so big that the
shaft does not reveal its entire width
and they are not yet deep enough to
cross-cut. They have one chunk OF
ore that is mostly gold. They are look
ing forward to the time when the ledge
will all look like that. When it does
they will be on the shady side OF Easy
street They have lots of good ore now,
but there is some rock mixed with it.
