AS above, the discoyerer and To-
Gator to be allowed one claim
extra, no one else by location TO
hold more than one claim along
the 5000 feet, but any one al |

The great White Pine excite
ment was waning and Phoebe T
was the rising star in the frma- c
ment of the mining world. The Il
rivalry between the two sections S
furnished much of the matter v
which enlivened the papers in c
the respective camps. In this n
issue a somewhat hazy rumor r,
that $500 had been subscribed
wherewith to celebrate THE d

an appeal that Phoebe should 0.
