The diamond tlrill used by Mr. Clark in developing the Blue ¡.edge copper claims was shipped Thursday to Spo kane. The drill crew left the same day for Spokane, which is their headquarters but where they work next they do not know. It is given out as positive that Patrick Clark has given up the Apple gate cop|>ef district, but that fact has not discouraged the claim holders nor Dr. Reddy, who went to Crescent City to confer with the owners of the Blue Ia*dge. It is reported on good authority that an English syndicate is likely to take up the Blue Ledge. The Company's experts were at Applegate to examine the projx-rty. There is also a report that the Sweeney Brothers, Spokane mining tnen, who are rated up in the millions and beyond the wealth of Mr. Chirk, arc planning to get hold of the copper proposition. One of the Mr. Sweeneys has been at Applegate recently and they have bonded several claims and have a crew of men at work run ning in a tunnel. The Applegate cop per district is too rich to lie undevelop ed very long.

Nickell’s method of getting business and getting news is as rank and impudent as a Kan sas lightning rod pedillcr and he makes himself a positive disgrace to the pro fession. His gall and bulldozing so dis gusts people that it gives them a feeling -é? LOCAL NOTES. x? Rolx-rt E.
