H. Dent, Brunswick, Ga. Here is a paragraph, snipped out of an article by George Creel in Everybody’s Magazine, which shows the way – to which various peaceful manufactories can be subjected: Columns 2 & 3 By C. S.

A well known correspondent of an important Western daily paper-recently made extended visit to Western Canada and summing up the results after going -- thoroughly into conditions there. --- - ---- is there is no financial depression in of Canada, nor has there been anything of the sort since the war began. Anytime anyone who has watched the barometer of trade and seen the bank clearing of the different cities grow and continue to grow will arrived at the same conclusion. The trade statistic--------------------- that the farmers are making is highly satisfactory. As this correspondence says; “It is true there have been adaptations to meet new conditions.

This system has two great advantages Column 6 Abode of the Mastodon Tyril Wood one of the best known mining men of the Tolstel --- has just shipped to a San Francisco friend a mastodon tusk which he found on his Boob Creek claims. The tusk is just short of nine feet long and is in a perfectively perfect state of preservation. Wood says that mastodon tusks and teeth are so common as not to attract particular attention throughout the Boob Creek region many being much larger than the one he has shipped out, but none he has seen so well preserved. Scores of tusk teeth and bones of these prehistoric mammals have been found in the Riley & Mounier workings in Boob Creek, and in their drifts there is a pungent odor which is attributed by the miners to the age old remains of the mammoths found there. While not offensive like the odor of recently decayed animals, the smell is strong enough according to Wood to be readily distinguishable at considerable distances. Column 7 Dr. Kilmers F. E.
