|0LYMPlA, Sept. 25.-state Land
~ Commissioner, L. w. Ross has
cancelled 235 leases. covering an
aggregate of 73,27S,64 acres of state
lands, mostly in eastern Washington.
These lands have been paying an ag-
gregate rental of but s6,4TO.6l. or at
the rate of but 81 cents an acre. Some
of the rentals we're as low as cents an
acre, while, with the exception of one
tract, the highest rate received by the
state was but 10 cents an acre.
Commissioner Ross said there is no
doubt that within short time more
than 80 per cent of these lands will be
| leased again under the new policy he
has established of rentals similar to
those paid for lands hello by private
ownership and that the result will be
large increase in the receipts by the
state from the property.

matter at the earliest opportunity.
The list of cancellations includes all
leases delinquent in payments up tC

rentals fall behind and the commits

the growing demand for leases of state

QUICKSILVER GOLD AND ANTHONY.
Why These Mines Will Succeed Practical
Miners Pronounce it All o. K.

Because no money is wasted or used
for salary or Office expenses. Every
dollar will be used in developing the
mines, to bring them as quick as pos
,ible to a paying basis.
The management is carried on hon
estly by experienced business men, and
experienced miners to handle the
mines. and it will not take very long to
bring the precious results. This is not
mining on paper, but in the ground
and every dollar will be spent in max
ing this a success.
Cooperation is necessary and those
cooperating with this company will be
associated with successful men. We
wish all who Join us in this enterprise
to understand that it is business
proposition, and that this company is
honestly organized under the laws of
good state and every dollar which any
one invests will be honestly used by
the management of this company for
the operation of these mines to the
greatest capacity, so each shareholder
will receive dividends as soon as pos.
sibe. So we feel sure and positive
that any investment small or large will
bring great returns in a short time.
Because part of our property which
consists of :! quicksilver claims, is in
the key of the Washington Quicksilver
Mining company's only consists of 6
claims and Joins our property. 1t re-
Gently has been bonded for $400, 900 by
Spokane, Wash. capitalists. They
are more than satisfied after careful
examination of the property
Our :! quicksilver claims are nearly
alone worth the money this corporation
is organized for Without ! anthony
claims, gold claims and ore gold and
copper claim and mill sites. in which
we stated before there is great sutfi-
cheney of fine timber and water on all
the claims. So we feel confident that
the small amount of shares we offer for
sale in the company will not only
reach par value, but soon will have
cash value in the open market for sew
eral dollars each, and any shareholder
who invests so or 1000 or more will
be considered alike and have the same
profits in comparison. Any person
who wants to make money by buying
mining stock does not wait until shares
pay dividends but buys in the com
menccment and takes the advantage to
buy shares for small amount, before
shares advance more in price. The
company is working on these claims at
present and tine results from day to day
prove more satisfactory. We can as
sure everyone who invests in this cor
poraton that they will never regret
the step they have taken. For particu-
lars see B. \. Gault 4 Co.
