Shouldn't wonder If here is a case
where the truth is spoken. But, is
this a part of the Rockefeller money

is a great deal more plentiful now
among professional politicians than
it was among the people in 1898 when
Turner demanded that working men

public meeting at the Auditorium. In
1897 Turner acknowledged that his
money was about $4,000 plentiful at
Olympia when he wanted to go to the

Phil. Mixseli. the veteran mill-man. has
completed the plans for the erection OF a
mill on Water street. west Of the Bonieta
mill, which he formerly owned and oper-
ated for many years. The equipment
will consist of fast drop California

will have capacity Of from 40 to 20 tons
every "A hours. } Gilpin bump tables aud
ONT large Whitley table and sinner. The
mill will be 10 by 10 feet 10 size and will
have a cement A ,or. and will be operated
by a turbine wafer wheel. Mr.. Mixseli
still retains the ownership p Of rights to the
use of water in the Mixscll dam, whers
there is an ample supply at sil seasons OF
the year. The mill will treat ore from hiS
Virginia claim which will be worked
from the level Of the Central tunnel. and
vii. be used also on ore from the Cardigan
mine, of which Mr. Mixsell is the man
ager. The California mill, which he will
erect, will do much more satisfactory
work than two batteries Of stamps. and
he has throughly investigated the merits
of the mill. which is fast superceding the

down streak Of solid mineral from IS
inches to two feet in width. In addition
they are also shipping milling ore OF

that when the ore is opened mp the leaser

ticular thing about leasing in the old

with cad or pick, and this will allow OF
putting in good hole back OF It, SO that
the ore streak can sbe taken down with

beriug whatever. II is Of course much

The beautiful vase-shaped maroon
