has at work during the winter months in
the wel-known Doolittle mining property,
which adjoins the famous .Post-Lambert

for and. indeed. 1t is impossible to find
the trail In many places.
Mr. Price found the men in his camp
well and progressing fairly with their
labors. In extremely bad weather they
are unable to reach the mine and enforced
