the first survey of the coal lands
in this section for the gov rnment

to secure leases on the lands pointed
out by Mr. Diller as likely prospects
is evidence that there is something
doing in oil circles.
Several hundred acres have been
leased in North Inlet and large
tracts near Libby, the latter place
will be the scene of the first opera

The leases which confer to the
lessor other mineral privileges as

be marketed at a profit.—Harbor.
Big Clubbing Offer
The R ecorder has made ar-
rangements whereby it can offer its
readers a daily paper at a minimum
price. The daily is the San Fran
cisco Bulletin, one of the greatest
papers on the Pacific coast, and its
market and sporting pages have no
equal.
The regular price of the Bulletin is
$3 per year and that of the R e
corder is Ji.50 her year, making a
total of $4.50.
We can now offer
you both papers for the exceeding
ly low price of $2.75 a year, if paid
in advance or 25 cents less than the
price of the Bulletin alone.
This offer applies to both old and
new subscribers.
Old subscribers
who will pay all arrearages and a
year in advance can have the ben
efit of this gigantic offer. New
subscribers who pay $2.75 can get
both papers for a year. Who will
be the first?
