Peter's mother hart a gu.lf'n of
beautiful flowers. It was the delight
and joy of the whole neighborhood!
Little Peter loved it as much as any

buds, bruising delicate blossom - and
breaking off foliage through hi s' per-'
t i - tent handling and teaching of the |
s lants, in spite of her admonitions to

How to iprescrv • h. r lovely flow
i s and yet satisfy Peter'* loro of I
them was a problem to his mother.!
but a happy solution was found in
decision that • hctild have a
little garden of his own.
Accordingly, then, at planting time.
Peter's mother told him of her plan,!
ami to bis delight Lie presented him
with a miniature -c of gat den tools. -

his allotted small space and was un
tiring in his efforts to make it.
smooth and fine. Pet :• accompanied j
V mother on the trip to the seed j

with their flowery illustrations,
m which were finally selected
ecds that would mature quic kly and
■ :vo tan abundance of blossoms; such

uarlgold and phlox.
With his mother's help and care

tor the first signs of plants in his
very own ganleu. His mother taught
' im how to water it gently and one
day showed him how to make a hor
des around the garden i f shells and
small stone which required careful
matching «nd placing and occupied
many happy hours.
Great was Peter's delight when the
tiny plants began to appear and daily
he r ported the progress of their
growth. “.Mother, the poppies are
pikin', through," or “The larkspurs
are ahead of till of them!" he told
his mother. Peter kept all weeds out
of hi . garden as his mat her hud
taught him to do and watered it
whenever .necessary. After long
weeks Of care, buds began to appear
on tite plants and Peter and his
ninthm; peculated chilly as to which

by the tiny garden rivaled his moth

colors, and Peter's joy was very great
when his mother gave him a small
pair of sed-nort- and showed him how

loved to rather a bouquet for her to'

PLAN RESTORING
OLD PROSPERITY
l
Mining Company Will Devel
op Property that Is Believ
ed to Be on Treadwell.
(Continued Ivrom Page
the owner of is tin pa tented lod?
claims on Douglas Island, directly
hack of the town of Douglas and 'less
than ono mile from the Treadwell
-Mines, in what Is believed to lx; the
same mineral belt.
“The property has been careful
prospected as far au tho work tints
L'ar progressed would permit, and thq,
open out discloses ore of paying
values.
“The funds derived from the sale
of stock will be used for further de
velopment work which will be of the
greatest importance to all who ant

Expect to Restore Glory of Douglas
«A furtlior totter issued by the com
pany recites tho history of Gastlnoau
Channel to prove that the .develop
meat and |-r asperity of Gasi.iue.ut
[Channel was a- direct iwult of the
[development of the Treadwell -Mine,
[and it shows that the decline' of
Douglas began with the “cave-in"
I that flooded tho more important of
!tho Treadwell properties,
j It declares that the purpose of
those who sent, prospectors afield
last year was to uncover hidden
wealth which many, .firmly believed
was in the vicinity was to restore
the prosperity of Doflglas. The let
ter continues:
“After many discouragements, a
discovery was invade which, by vigor
ous work prosecuted late in the sea
son and under adverse conditions, re
sulted in ascertaining that there lies
at our very bark door, a large
likely an immense body of ore, as
says taken front an open cut giving
average values of over three dollars
per ton in gold and silver.
Outlook Better Than Treadwell
“When it is recalled that the sur
face of the Treadwell ‘Glory Hole’
carried a reported average assay
value of only fifty sine cent per ton,
jit will be seen that there is cause
for the optimistic feeling which the
promoters of the property havo and
the readiness with which they gav
of their time and means to prospect
| the are body.
“It soon developed that the proposi
tion was too 'large to he handled by
[the original owners, and the result
w s the formation of a corporation
and plans wore made by which suf
, fiofent stock could be sold to war
rant the prosecution of the necessary
1 work to put the property on a Work
ing basis.
“Thirteen claims have been located
[and deeded to the corporation. Tht
i original promoters are all local men
and it Is our hoi>e that tho stock
1 will be subscribed for locally.
“Wo now ask Bill who are interest
od in seeing prosperity again visit
us to carefully 'investigate the propo
sition we have 'to offer, for It is a
matter of vital importance to at
what the future holds far tho towns
of Gnstineau 'Channel
“Tho original promoHers have fell
no hesitation in giving of their time
and means f<vr development, but the
element of time is very essential, as
we have boon on the verge of un
certainty tor so long a period that
sufficient 'support of local capital
would urge development and hasten
the day when all would roap tho en
j joymont of an ultimate recovery.
“The proposition wo offer you is

land difficult of access, but is ad
jacent to your very homes, and open
for your inspection and investigation
