Another busy man is F. G. Booth
who has all that he can do, and more,
in iron working. He originally came
on from Douglas TO supply the CAM
with stoves, but his business speedily
ortgrew that and. now he is not oRly
in the stove business, but also attends
to all other sheet iron work In camp,
such as roofs AM the sheeting or
buildings. He has done splendiely

Mr. Goshen merely came to Douglas
to attend to few business matters
and hurried back to Sylvanite, an en-
thusiastic citizen of the new camp. he
brought back with him two photo
graphs of the camp which show II to
be beautifully located in slightly,
healthful spot.
There has so far been only one
slight disturbance which amounted to
nothing and which speaks well for
the orderliness of the camp. The only
death was that of a half-staryed pros
pector who ate too ravenously and
choked to death trying to swallow a
large piece of beef without mastica-
ton and is the sole occupant of the
cemetery.
