big strike" said Mr.. Bryan, 81 will
not say that but | will say that it is
the best prospect / have ever seen,
and l have been in several camps. In
dications may be deceiving, but they
point to big and successful camp

which Mr. Bryan was member, was
only 35 miles from the new strike
when it was made and when they
were in the camp.

on every claim where real mining
work has been DONE" he said. with

sessnent work instead of attempting
to take out pay"
