I litHPotl Pioneer:
I road your artich- in the issue of
August .'JO about the Tolstoi c<),rnp as
'••ported b\ Hob Gridis Now lots of
people over your wa\ think that it is
"bunk.” Well, they can think w!n»t
1 hey like, out never: heiess we have
in* “dough. ' allrigh;. and Hon G riUjs
>ki the Mur it and nothing more about
■•Inti lie saw. and we are going to show
'hem some to ore of r n<‘.\t spring. Of
course, -.no haven’t g r anything like
i lit a rod had. but there's no telling \et
•vhat we wili dig up, but we certairHy
cm make a good living.
The people over there don’t know
what we are up against: grub is scarce,
no lumber, and we have to mine in a
most primitive way, and can’t do much,
out we will get there after awhile
when conditions again become normal.
We need lots of dig.*, rs—not the kind
of diggers that sit around pool rooms,
<o. do their mumig ’lougside rad kit or s.
n *
Wei!. Hack. I am glad to see the old
Pioneer back again: here is the where
withal for m> subscription, and f sin
cerely wish you a Merry X-rusts and a
Pr i«%perous Xew Year.
