.SLAV LEADERS
TEACHING MEN
TRUE LIBERTY

BOSTON, Nov. I.-Cathcrinc Brc-
shkoviky, the grandmother Of the
Russian revolution" i'm writing to
Alice Stone Jackson Of this place, said
the Russian leaders were now teach
ing the soldiers at the front true lib
crty and democracy.
She said many soldiers were mad
with the sole idea of liberty" and
that many of the young people i'm
aginc that the war must be abandoned
at once now that the monarchy has
been overthrown, because the people
were not consulted about it at the be-
ginning.
She said that some Of the ignor-
ant and other agents for their own
interests had inspired this idea among
the recruits, and the leaders are busy
endcavoring to combat the sentiment.

the second somewhat less. They en-
ployed a Aume.
Henderson and Cockburn, on No. 3

On No. 4 above Nelson and Nulmey-
err cleaned up about $4,000 as a re-
suit Of scraping operations.
Some money has been located on
Disappointment and Wilson creeks in
the Marshal district. Some Of the
ground is said to run from So to So
to the foot Of bedrock. Edgar and
BIanken have done some ground sluic-
ing with fair results. They intend to
place a drag line scraper on the
ground next summer, thereby great
ly facilitating operations.
A quartz ledge showing considerable
free gold has been located by Tom
Plunkett near the head of Wilson
creek in the Marshall district, and is
looked upon as a promising asset of
the future. Samples taken show cx-
cellent values but little development
work has been done.
In the opinion Of the older mining
men the future Of Marshall depends
on the flats along the lower reaches
OF Willow. Most Of the developed
ground is nearly worked out.
