accompanied by Clay Fruit of Tomas
ket and Geo. J. Hurley of LOOMS,
county game commissioners. Mr.. OAR

lakes with steel head trout. A consign-

If any one is nursing the mistaken
idea that there is no ore of value in the
claims hereabouts they should take
glance at the big slab of mineral bear
ing quartz stacked up on the sidewalk
in front of Dell Harris offices on Main
lstreet in front of the Hotel de Grubb.
That display is an object lesson that
carries conviction more positive than
(anything that can be put in print. The
Iproduct is from the o. K mine on
Kruger mountain, and being worked
under lease by Fred Neal and Jack
lGcrmerley. If they have any quantity of
that kind of ore in sight, and they
claim they have, the boys are going to
Inake a comfortable and comforting
lclean up on their lease
