A Big Horticultural Meeting in Wenatchee
in December

The next convention of the State
Horticultural Association will be held
in Wenatchee between Christmas and
New Years day.
Mr.. Dumas, president OF the organi-
cation, desires suggestions from the

nized as the premier fruit district Of
the United States, ought to entertain
the most successful and enthusiastic
meeting the association has ever held.

citation was M. o. Tibbits, deceased.

for man to take up this work. Owing
to the fact that the convention will be
held in Wenatchee this year, the office
will be an important one, and upon il
will depend in a large measure the
success Of the convention.

The Glacier Peak Mining Company
this week received returns from four
assays from Seattle that are so crafty
ing that the officers of the company
have been in high spirits ever since.
The result of the first sample showed
that it contained copper to the amount
of IS per cent and had total value OF
$186.61 to the ton. The second sample
contained ASS per cent copper and is
worth $117.87 ton. The third sample
went $28.22 to the ton, and the fourth
sample taken from an outcropping
showed a value of $27 to the ton.
These figures speak for themselves as
to the value of this magnificent prop
erty. The highest values are found in
the tunnels where the greatest depth
has been gained on the property. VIM.
Adam, the president of the company,
says that it is extremely difficult to
make the mining men in Seattle believe
that such fine ore is mined in this state,
and contend that it must surely come
from Alaska or Arizona. - Cascade

brought with him some very fine speci-

more struck a lead that will put him
on easy street. He has had quite a
flattering offer made him for the mine,
but is reluctant to accept it, for he
thinks he would do better to develop
the mine on his own initiative-Ed-

A big placer mining proposition is
being launched by Seattle capitalists
near the head of Peshastin creek.
Already there has been great deal OF
work in that vicinity and mining opera
tons will be in full force in two weeks.
1t is reported that a real strike has
been made and that dirt in some in
stances is panning out as high as 500
a ton. 1t is the plan of the company
to use the waters Of Peshastin creek
for sluicing and run their waste into
the creek. 1t is understood that stock
holders in the various irrigating bitches
out OF that stream will make protest,
as such a proposition will make the
water unfit for irrigating and domestic
uses, and in time will fill up the creek
altogether. -Cashmer Record.

Of them is Judge John E. Humphries,

"Well, I'll be d--dl. Somebody's

angrily, pushing past him and coming
around the cornec, IN ugly look in his
