MILL IN PROSPECT,
The Albion Mining company oon-
trolled by William Hatfield of Provo
and associates, has put in its time do
ing development work and with highly
gratifying results Little has been done
towards getting out shipments Of ore,
but the mine is in excellent shape for
the inauguration of them early In 1907.
An immense tonnage of mill ore has
been developed and plans are being
matured for the installation OF mill

REGENERATION OF FLAGSTAFF.
The regeneration of the old Flagstaff
and Emma mines Is an event worthy Of
note and II is to the credit of William

once famous mines have been brought
into a state OF activity again. Through
their solicitation, "A wealthy Milwaukee

When MT de Ivanowski finally carried the finished portrait to Miss Adams cottage, she was playing tennis: and the canvas was placed where she would see it as soon as she entered the door. So she came in, flushed and merry from her game, to find herself unexpectedly face to face with 8 Peter Pan who seemed radiant with joy and very much alive. And, the story goes, the real Peter Pan ran forward with cry of admiration and dropped on her knees before the canvas, with tears and exclamations of pleasure over the painted likeness.
