* Rossland is such an old camp now that
** yeminiscences of early days are becom-
ing more interesting. Capt. L. & Bur-
bridge, who was in town last week, gave
ovt some facta. which have not been
published. It was in 1892.. The cap-
tain had examined the Le Roi. He met
Col. I. N. Peyton leaving the camp. The
colonel had discharged the six men who
were working on. the Le Roi, and said
he was going fo abandon the mine. It
- waathen that Captain Burbridge eaid:
“Colonel, the property is all right.”
+ 'Byen ifit is,’ said Colonel Peyton,
(we have no money to continue work.”
+ In short, a bargain was made and Cap-
tain Curbridge wrote a report upon the
mine which Colonel Peyton took East
andupon it raised $28,000, selling the
stock for 25 cents a share, where it could
not be sold ur three cents in Spokane.
This was the turning. point forthe Le
Roi, and the captain makes the boast of
writing the first. favorable report upon
the Rossland camp.

on the War Eagle. Iron Mask and the
