VERY RICH PAY
 ON LITTLE MIN00k
Peck and LabOski Brothers Have Good Fortune
 On No. 8.

C. R. Peck and the Laboski brothers have run onto some very rich pay on No. 8 Little Minook. The good fortune is the result of accident. The men had been on fair pay up to short time ago, when water flooded their drifts and drove them out
 Some years ago laymen worked three 1oofoot strips of ground about the middle of the claim, the upper and lower lays yielding much gold, but the middle one did not pay expenses. Messrs. Peck and Laboski moved onto this part of the claim and sank a hole a little nearer the hill. In the hole they found S65 nugget and plenty of smaller gold. Altogether the pick ups on a small bit of bedrock amounted to about SIoo.
 Some ladies drove out to the claim this week, and pans of dirt selected by them yielded respect lively S7.6o, S4.So and $40.
 Notwithstanding the short time left to work, this new find of rich dirt is expected to greatly augment the seasons cleanup on No. 8.

1t is seldom, one would imagine
that original paintings by celebrated

But in one of the Amsterdam book

who was attracted by the water col

therein as Illustrations. Upon reach

while talking of sketches, bethought
himself Of the book he had pur-
chased. He took it from beneath a
pile of other volumes in the cup
board where it had lain neglected
and handed it to his friend.
After a few minutes the artist
said very quietly, "Have you any
idea as to whether these drawings
are any good?"
mo-" replied the owner, 81 don't |
know anything about them, but they |
took my fancy, and so / gave the |
man, after bargaining, 10 shillihgs |
for the book"
The artist smiled. After pause
he said, q will give you three times
