advancement Of Douglass county's
mining industry will have been taken.
Once or twice before a similar report
has gained credence, but this time It

the plant that they will exert every
effort to have things running by the
LIST of July.
The California capitalists who have

Of last month, but for good reasons,
asked that the time limit be extended
six months. AS the present owners
believed the California company was
acting in good faith, the request was
granted.
One of the cOmpany's representative
es in this section was authorized to
obtain 800 tons of ore and make a test
run on or before July LIST. He is now
negotiating with several mine owners
and will, it seems, have no difficulty
in getting that amount together.
Prospecting will now take on a ne Y
life, and owners will have an incentive
to work their claims. This is indeed
good news for this section of the coun.
