| The turquoise industry in the United
states turned out $4,000 worth of
stones last year. 1t will soon be strong
enough to brace congress for subsidy.
A Cascade newspaper which has
been one of the most strenuous of free
silver organs has come boldly out ana
renowned Bryan and his works. This

but the beginning of getting the DEM

Hoar has the reputation of Wit. one
