the Gold Hill at Quartzburg. The g.
ton boiler was hauled from Blachoot
by Vim. Beutler, landing in Pearl Sat
urday. The intention Of the company
is TO take out the water and sink the
Marguerite shaft and do all the min
ing there. George H. Wyman, Sr., has
charge of the property, with Jim
Rohrbaugh as foreman Mr. Wyman
deserves considerable credit for the
efforts he has put forth TO bring Pearl

men can make a mine We certainly
wish this company and Mr. Wyman
every success

There is also other development
work contemplated here at an early
