tl)COi*lt;ofwthI)r' 1 #92, Mr. Weil sold #173,000 worth■ of goods, or in other words he was doing a yearly business of $200,000,1 and that, too, in a town of not over I 250 people (not counting the editor • of the Pend d’Oreille News). Put- on the date mentioned Mr. Weil’s- entire mercantile establishment was 1 destroyed by lire, entailing u loss- of $40,000 which was very nearly covered by insurance. Mr. Weil immediately put in another large store and has been doing a thriving5 business ever since.There itt an incident in Weil’s f career that illustrates his good luck. i Several years ago he held a ticket o in the Louisiana State Lottery and- drew a prize of $15,000. e Mr. Weil has lately turned his- attention to mining and has become \ interested in the Priest Lake coun- • Mmtry. He now owns a controlling b interest in the famous Continental, et or Smith mine, which is said by q mining experts to be one of the T greatest surface showings in the country, not excepting the Slocan.He also owns a controlling interest in the adjoining claims, the Jasper and thlt;- Blue Joe. He is the owner of the Irene, the B.C., and theC. P. in the same district. These fine properties are described elsewhere. Mr. Weil has several other valuable mining interests. We look to see T him develop the great Continental ei into a fine property this summer. tl Mr. Jgnatz Weil is a liberal, pub- t* lie spirited citizen and a good man o for the country. pmII!Bb:tlTn:tltcNw1natl81
