 balmy day that so far has been felt
 this season and the improved con-
 ditions were noticeable in the in-
 creased flow of waters.
 The work of cleaning up the
 beach proceeds with satisfactory re,
 suits, and the improvement already
 effected on the Spit this side of the river is manifest.
 Quicksilver $1.OO per lbs. at Crooks next Fire Department. | Chas Akasi who is to mine on Grouse Gulch, Buster creek return. ed from that section of the country and says that it will be a month if conditions don't change before the snow clears away and mining can be undertaken.
