OUTLOOK BRIO II I
With one dredge already digging
and others expected to be working
within the next few days, and all in
dividual mine operators busy, the gold
yield in this section portends most
promising.

bage, carrots, etc., are all planted or
on their way, Mike Hochriter. leading
agriculturist, having been ■■ working
overtime for some days on his several
patches. Other Takotnans, too, have

looking fine, lettuce, celery and to

an equine way.
