Of late years he has been identified with miming work, having had varied experiences ranging from the Klondike to Goldfield, Nevada, where at present he has interests 1n several that he expects will pan out into valuable mines.

In recognition of the timely warning by the weary travelers they were given a free ride to Duluth. A more _ substantial jteward by the rairoad company | near the village of Big Falls, was in jtown last week, Mr. Hazelton has jbeen a resident of that section for | about five years and has been success- {ful to a degree that causes him to Recently he put in a saw mill on his place and anticipates all the work that he will be able to handle, E. R. Lewis and wife returned last Sunday from a trip to New » Mexico. They spent about three months in_ the south and enjoyed the trip very much.
