Other things that we here collect

The Cascade Miner newspaper (1892-1912). There are only two known copies of the Miner (one at the Library of Congress & second at Roslyn, Washington Museum). I have more than 30 readable fragments. Last month, I went on a hike to the ghost town of Lester, Washington where I like to search the old homes for newspapers that were once used for insulation. Found a home falling down around itself with what appears to be hundreds of one weekly issue (October 10, 1907) stuffed into the walls. My most significant find to date. Been itching to get my hands on them but have to wait for permission from the landlord, Burlington Northern. It's been four weeks, still nothing.
