. n.ent with a broken leg is now suf
fering with an attack of rheumatism.

will secure machinery to work low
grade dirt on his Eureka claim and

A PRACTICAL DEMONSTRATION.
Reports from Hoosier say that
Peck and Durfey have gained com
plete control over the water, and
can now pump ail that accumulates
over night, in twenty minutes.
The outlook is such that the estim
ated clean up is placed at $25,000.
This is a practical demonstration of
what can be done with machinery.
There is no doubt that the wealth
of Hoosier will be'brought to light
before another winter passes, on
* the application of the methods pio
neered by these men.
