quired the evidences indicating the ex-
istence of high grade bodies are becon-
ing more plainly marked.
The chief development work so far
has been on the 400 foot level. a cross

feet of ore running So per cent

velopment so far has not exposed a
great quantity of. ore. the knowledge

BUILDING LOCALS

The foundation for the High School
building is almost completed and the
brick work is to start the first of next
week.
The finishing touches are being put
ON the home OF Senator Remers on the
Gallagher tract. II is built OF concrete
and is undoubtedly one of the most sub
stantial structures in town. The large
porches and bay windows are most sug
gestive of comfort.
Dwight Leavitt moved into his new
home the middle of the week.
Work is rapidly progressing on the
Downey Kaufman building.
The residence being built by Dr.
Smith is certainly pleasing to the eve.
1t is modern in every respect and from
an architectural view point beautiful.

to keep one or more of the chemical fire
