luck either as they had been working
on the claims last. year and. knew. the
stuff was there. They took. out gold
enough to lnst them all winter and
still hare something for a grub stake

feet. There will | ‘he one or. “tivo hvd- |
rants placed at, eovenient. poirits in- thr

heir water from an'open ditch from the
creck, but it is feared this has become
contaminated and a closed in supply «of
water will overcome the fear. The nr-
tives of Kitsegnela area progressive Jur
