thoughtless thing for Mr.. X. to do

Seven Devils as copper camp is no

their own mining property? Do
they really mean to say that since
last fall the mines have been proven

mean that there never would be

ever, it will be difficult to convince
the board that mines worth million
last fall are worth but pittance
how. The public hopes the board will
back up the assessor and make Mr..
X. prove that his mines have been
worked out since last October. If
Seven Devils is worthless let US
know it and let capital know it. we
