Rich Strike at
Clusters Peak.

The most phenomenal strike of
free gold is again reported from the
Finnlander mine near Clusters Peak
and old prospectors claim that it
beats anything in the history of that
section. The quartz is a milk white
in which has been found streaks
showing free gold in large quaint
ties, and an occasional speck of gold
as large as grain of wheat. Pros
pecting has been conducted on the
ground for the past nine years with
varying success. While doing the
assessment work last fall a ledge
was encountered on the Ida lode that
brought the property into promi-
hence. A three foot ledge of quartz
Was opened onto, at that time, which
gave up rich specimens of free gold,
at a depth of five feet from the sur
face. Henry Haka, one of the own
ers loosened a piece of the quartz
that was so wonderfully rich in free
gold specimens and tried to raise it
from the shaft by main strength.

OF STAMPS.
Merchants who Will Handle
Them and Declare They are
a Help in Trade.
o the People of Perth Amboy !:

To the People of Perth Amboy:
We, the undersigned merchants of
this City, having decided to give our
customers the advantage of trading
stamps, thereby showing our liberality
as we'll as introducing a system of
discount which is in vogue in all
other towns of Importance in this
country, now make the following
statement:
Trading stamps are simply a dis
count for cash payment to which we
consider our patrons entitled. The
stamp company is a perfectly re-
liable concern with paid up capital
of $3.50, 900. The subscribers will in
dividualIy guarantee the redemption
of all books issued by them.
The trading stamp system is now
used by such leading business houses
as Siegel- Cooper Co., Rothenburg &
Co., The Great Atlantic g. Pacific Tea
Co., as we'll asythousands of other re-
l4dDAO3 OAPOA AOAOON dAO uP-1O-O01O
merchants all over the United States,
this is an absolute fact and conclu-
sively proves that the system is no
fake or humbug.
In consideration of the above we
leave it to the intelligence of the
people of this city to decide if they
want this city closed to modern busl-
ness ideas by some dealers, who object
to liberal methods, and advise every
economical housekeeper to insist on
getting the discount to which we con-
slider them entitled namely: Trading
Stamps.
The popular prices at which we sell
goods of superior quality In our re-
spective lines of business are guar
antee that trading stamps do not
neoessitate higher prices, and our
prices will remain as low as is con-
sistent with good quality.
Respectfully,
Sickles Bros

Residents in the Western Sec
ton of the City Get
Together.
TWENTY-SEVEN MEN.
Petition Presented to the Board of Alder
men Last Night Asking That They Be
ReCOgnized-WiI Probably be ReOrg-
anized and will have McCIeIIan's Hose
Carriage with Horse.

A number of men living in the Sec
tion of the city commonly known as
I" Dublin, in anticipation of the
action of the Board of Aldermen to
place the new hose company in that
section, have already organized a
company. They are very anxious to
become part of the present volunteer
fire department and as a result at the
meeting of the Board of Aldermen last
night petition signed by Charles @.
Brown and twenty others was re-
ceived and referred to the Committee
on Fire.
AS this same committee has been
empowered to go ahead and COM
plete the reorganization of the de-
partment when this is done, this body
of representative citizens and taxpay-
ers, who have organized for a noble
purpose, will doubtless have a new
house with the Mcclellan Hose Com
pany's carriage and horse to take it
to the fires. When it is taken into
consideration that this is but one of
the various improvements to be made
in the fire department., an idea may
be formedgof the Importance of the
changes to be made.
The residents on the west side of
the Central railroad have felt that a
fire company there was necessary and
they have prepared themselves for
what was bound to come. 1t is very
probable that the newly organized
company will be recognized by the
aldermen.
