Others to Be Installed
Hosting plants are being installed at
the Townsite and Hooligan leases on the
estate of the Rawhide Coalition Mines
company, and have been ordered by the

various portions of the camp. As a
matter of fact, the more powerful and
cogent reason is found in the vast de-
posts of milling ores that are being
proved up and blocked out. 1t is the
latter whose wealth is the most depend
