;scn1trg and rainy weather and the
IA Sncctors and others have kept
ee' ''aily, well in doors. There Is
no gainsaying the fact that winter
is making preparations for resi-
dence in these parts; but just what
lease on the season it will secure,
is what ''ye oldest inhabitantn is
now guessing. Old timers predict
a mild visitation this year, basing
their representations on the old
"three heavy and three light
winters theory. No snow, aside
from . scurry or two, has visited
this section thus far. At a cores
ponding period last year there
were two feet of the beautiful in
the basin.

In connection with this proper
ty it might be Of interest to note
that the owners have just acquired
considerable and very valuable adj
ditional territory. About 240 acres
of pay gravel, comprising the To-
cations known as the MoIlie Hill,
Big-6 and Little-6 placer claims,
previously the holdings of Walter
and William Saunders and Fred
Smith, will the coming season be
operated in conjunction with the
Smith ground. These placers have
been thoroughly prospected no less
than five different times by as
many different parties, all out
siders, and anxious to secure them.
A compact entered into by their
owners and those controlling the
Smith ground has, however, been
religiously kept by both sides and
the properties have never been on
the market in a literal sense. 1t
is asserted that yardage values on
this ground will average $3.50, and
that there are, approximately, H.
500, 900 yards Of workable ground
on these three claims. A water

of conveying 20O0 inches of water,
with gate to giant pressure OF
800 feet. are important incidentals
Of this property. Big things are
confidently anticipated from next
seasons run.
