selIinsham Citizens Find Good Claim
While on Trip.
BELLINGHAM, Aug. BIB. w
Lletch, John Delhi, Edward Fish and
Martin Wanlich have returned from a
prospecting trip in the Mt. Baker min
ing district. AT point on Red Mount
ain they discovered what they claim is
a valuable ledge of copper and gold
ore, and have filed notices of location
in the office of the county auditor.
No assays have been made of the
ore, but they state that it contains
valuable particles of both metals. At
ter thorough reconnaissance of the
lodges in various parts of the district
they assert that as time goes by it
will be demonstrated to skeptics that
there is a fund of wealth hidden in the
rocks on the mountains surrounding
the king of the northwest, Mt Baker
Their trip was in the nature of recrea-
ton, but when they saw a spot on the
mountain side that would indicate the
presence of valuable mineral they piled
their miners pick with vigor. In the
gold and copper ledge they believe
their labors have been rewarded.

with a request that he forward 1t as
soon os he had read 1t. The letter eX-
cited the profound gratitude OF Gen.

when President Lincoln commissioned
both Schurz and Stahel major generals.

Dear Sir--l have just seen the Phil

was not promoted I'm January. Later
