Harry A. Newton, of Republic. has
| been in Oroville several days this week
| looking over the mining situation. and
competent man he is to draw conclu-

Mr.. Newton is considered one of the most
capable metallurgists and mill operators
in the west. and personally is very
pleasant gentleman. He had charge of
| the big mill at Republic while the mines
of that camp were in operation. Mr..
| Newton expressed surprise at the excel
lent mineral showing to be seen in this
|
man, and his skill in his profession. trust
that he may find it to his interest to re-
main in Oroville permanently.

ments to travel. The train crew had so
much freight to handle that they could
not make time. and passengers We're
| tortured by the tedious, heart breaking,
dragging delay. 1t is pleasing to know
that business is brisk on the branch, but
that should only be reason for putting on
