The Horn Silver mine at Era is
to be worked all winter, giving en-
ployment to forty-6ve men. None
but miners and company officials
are allowed to examine the interior
workings of the mine. The mill
has been running continuously
since it first started up, with two
shifts. About twenty-five tons OF
ore are put through daily. The
company is purchasing ore from
the surrounding mines, which
serves as an incentive to miners to
prosecute work on their claims.
Numbers of shipments are conse-
quently being made to the mill
from the surrounding country,
which tends to the permanent de-
velopment of mining property.

Michael Mcbride, familiar char
acter on our streets, was found dead
in the cellar back of Harrison's
furniture store on Wednesday
morning. Late Tuesday evening
Mr.. Harrison had found him on
the ground near the store in an
intoxicated condition, and at his
request had put him in the cellar
for the night. Upon opening it
next morning Mcbride was found
dead. He had been drinking heav-
lily for several weeks, and this, with
the cold and exposure, brought
about his death.

be be gained by ordinations after
the election has passed and gone.
