 FROM THURSDAYS DAILY We'll Neither Borrow nor Lend. = The Miner force has ''blowed itself'' for a gasolene boat: it is needless to say that it is the best one in town and from now on they will neither borrow nor lend-that is if the pesky thing don't break down somewhere and they have to be towed home. The 1 devil has been installed as engineer, the machine operator will manipulate the keys to steer it, the business manager will furnish the hot air to run it, the job man is deck hand, and the Gov. will of course be pilot-if he can be persuaded to go aboard the blankety blank thing, which he says he won't do. The boat is an eighteen footer, and the fact that it was built by the Hoadley Bros, at Charcoal point, is guarantee that it is built right, and if you have any doubts on the subject come and see for your self. The engine is Roy Thompson own special brand of Auto Marine for which Cornell & Thompson are the agents for this district-and is guar anteed to go further on less gasolene than any other engine ip the market So, now all you have to do is to Natch our smoke and remember that The Miner is it.
 New Boat. Mike Patterson, the boat builder, whose plant is on the water front, below the mouth of the creek, is building new gasolene boat for Ben Metz. It will be 30 feet in length. with more beam than usual, and constructed on plan cal culated to specially adapt it to the use for which it is ntended-that of the prospector.
 Do you want to buy live going business? If so see E. K. Turner he wants to sell out his property.
