NOVEL MEE1NG IN HOQU1AM SATURDAY

Ask j. e. Wilson. of the firm Of
Wilson Bros, miners of coal, if it
pays to stick to one business propo-
sition that clocks good" through
thick and thin, and after replying
in the affiYrla i've he VIII tell you
of his experiences in sticking to
the coal proposition and his story
will be substantiated, word for word,
by Tom Vedder. Mr.. Wilson was in
the city Saturday. He arrived from
Centralia, where he owns extensive
coal properties now being developed.
Mr.. Vedder has been in Hoquiam
some time in the interests of Te-
nino coal mining company. The
two men CHANGED to meet, and ac-
cording to Mr.. Vedder, it recalled a
similar meeting some four years ago

penny, his credit not even being
good 1 went away subsequently,

until recently Yesterday was the
first time l met Mr.. Wilson since
that long talk four years ago, when
he outlined his plans to me in the
coal mining line. We both CHANGED
to be in the same business this time,
the only difference was that he had
made fortune in those four years
while the company I represent was
but starting as he did four years ago.
But few days ago the Wilson broth
ers were offered $250,00O for their
properties, but declined the offer. 1t
can not be said now that he is broke
or that his credit is not good. He
simply stuck and won out"

Orc Mir. Milt Quenner is operating successfully one of separating ma chimes (such as was described in THE OASIS some months ago) for parting from aurifeorous gravel the rocks and boulders so the earth may be treated in dry washers. He is working over old dumps at the Esmeralda property and is said to be saving $S0 to $90 daily with very small expense.
 Upon the Sd inst. the 50-stamp mill of the Llanos Consolidated Mining Company at Llanos de Orc, in the Altar district, commenced dropping it's stamps upon ore from the Reina de Orc properties at El Tiro, some seven miles distant, the tramway that was built for trans portation of the rock having been completed and put into operation. There were run through the mill in the first thirteen days 1900 tons of ore, with good results, and the daily reduction is nearly 1S0 tons.
 Advices from Los Angeles, Cal ifornia, dated the 18th inst. state that upon the 17th a successful operation for appendicitis was per formed by Doctors k. R. and Req Smith upon Mrs. w. G. Bowman of Carbo, who went there for that purpose last week. It was found that three operations in one were necessary, and the patient was upon the operating table two hours and thirty minutes. The lady was doing finely on the 18th, and the attending sugeons thought that she was about of out danger.

The patient stood the operation finely and at latest ac- counts was thought to be fairly on the road to complete recovery.
