The labor supply at Rocky Bar
is quite sufficient for all demands,
hence miners in search of work
should remain away at least until
spring.
Times are little corkey in
Rocky Bar just now. But don't
despair. Just wait till spring and

grand old gold belt that will cause

If the BULLETIN man was n
Rocky Bar school trustee he would
advocate change in the school
term. The summer months would
certainly be far more advantageous
to the scholar and to the school
fund than the cold, stormy winter
months. The saving in fuel alone

say nothing of the comfort and
health of teacher and pupils. Our
trustees. should take this matter
under consideration and reverse the
yearly school term for this district.

their mines in Ross valley at an
early date in the spring and push
work more vigorously than ever be-
fore.
