IS SLOW IX COMING

who has worked practically all over

at Perseverance, where he was for
several months prior to the shutting

which place he went late in March.

seen but that, aside from the oper
ations being carried on at the Pre
m.er mine, there is very little doing
in that district, where many hund

upon them. The doctors described

man. and declared that from head
to foot he was a magnificent singing
machine.
