A year or so ago a survey was made
OF the two townships north OF STEMS
Pass, by order OF the government. For
some reason, probably because OF er-
rors, the survey was not accepted by
the surveyor general. At the time
the survey was made S. w. Vim, Of
the National gold and silver company,
met the party and secured the promise
OF a tracing of the map that was to be
made OF the townships. This map,
although not accurate enough for the
government is very complete, and
good enough for an ordinary individu.
al. Mr.. Winn had a number Of blue
prints'made OF the tracings, copies OF
which he has presented to the LIB
ERAL. The maps show all the roads
and trails In the two townships, the
various mines and ranches, and every
thing OF interest. Any person desir.
ing TO see these prints may find them
at the LIBERAL Office.

surprised to ind the condition the
town was 10. What struck them as
the toughest proposition in the town
was the way the female population Of
the tenderloin section of the town
paraded the streets, and congregated
in the saloons. The chairman Of the
club appointed a committee on morals
with power to net. The committee
visited the assistant district attorney,
and pointed out to him his duty, which
he said he would perform. The com
mittee visited the officer Of the Arll-
Ona copper company who attends to
the rents and real estate, and urged
him TO do something. He notified
all saloon keepers who were paving
ground rent to the company that il
they allowed the women TO come into
their saloons their leases would be for
feited. This meant putting them out
OF business. The saloon keepers, were
