parties interested that all claims In
which there exists against Witchel
or former owners or lessees, or the
former co-owners or lessees of the
Quartz and Glory claims, be declared
in favor of Mrs. Hawkins.

that ali claims which may exist
against Witcher, former co-owners
or lessees on the Quartz and Glory
claims in favor of Mrs. Hankins,
Mrs. C. S. O'Neili and Frank x. NUT

Then came the miracle. One morn.
