"The first breath of spring is here.
A long and tedious winter Is coming
to its close Not in a decade has the
weather been 50 continuously cold
Much snow has accumulated in the

spring, which seems to be at hand
While more men have been worked
underground in the various mining
camps this winter than ever before
yet number OF idle properties will
resume operations with the coming OF
warmer weather. Old-timers predict
an early spring, and all anticipate the
liveliest season the upper camps have
seen in many a year. In fact, mining
is so growing in this section that an.
other year or two will see II the rival

"The revival OF interest in placer
mining has also struck root here. Be.
sides the operation OF old established
properties many new claims will be
worked, and there promises to be a
plentiful supply of water everywhere
in the Blue Mountain basins, and
placer mining will prove TO be a most
successful business this year.
