would be next to impossible to boul
them over the big hill which has Sc
long been the dread OF freighters
and the terror of autos.
The new grade is almost good
enough for a railroad. 1t will save
several hours and eliminate danger
OF tip-oYers on every load of freight
coming into camp and will pay for
itself in ~lessening the expense Of
bringing in the lumber and machin-
cry for the mill.
There will be no more burning ont
OF auto brakes nor walking. Of S
sengers to and from Skidoo, thanks
to the energy of Messrs. Montgom-
cry and Hoveck, the men who do
things.
st. Patrick's Mine SOLD
f. =. Lowry returned Thursday
from Ida, where he closed a big
mining deal a few days ago. He sold
the st. Patrick's Day group, owned
by himself and X. NJ. Ryder, whom
he ~grub-staked, to o. P. Posey and
John Searles of Goldfield for a pri-
yate consideration, said to go a con
siderable distance into the thousands.
A substantial cash payment was
made down.
The group includes fourteen
claims, situated eight miles north of
Ida. Mr.. Lowry says that the pur-

j. p. Nelson, vice-president and
general manager Of the Hayseed, re-
ports that within the past few days
he has encountered an immense shaft
OF high grade ore in the drift from
the 100-foot level. These shoots,
Mr.. Nelson says, occur at intervals
and the ore in every instance is OF
good shipping quality. 1t will av-
erage considerably beyond 500 to
the ton. The shaft is down 215 feet
and excellent material appears in
the bottom. The big ledge back of
the present workings has never been
crosscut, and it is also known to
carry a fine grade of ore.
Mr.. Nelson also has charge Of the
work on the Burro, which, he says,
is making an encouraging showing,
The shaft is down now 100 feet, and
drifts are being carried north and
south on the ledge.-Bullfrog Miner.
