SOLLENBERGER NINE PAYS
FROM THE GRASS ROOTS

Manager SOllenberger has received
the returns from a car load of O.e
shipped from his mine in Brunswick
canyon and is much pleased 1hereat.
The smelter reduced the ore at
a valuation Of $32 ton. Hauling
and freight charges Of $3.50 ton
together with smelling charge and
penalties at the smelter on the quai-
lty or the ore brought the net profit
from the shipment down to about
$500.
Sollenberger is now trying to get
lower freight rate on his ship
ments and since the construction of
the Brunswick Canyon road says he
can save $1,3O ton on the hauling
charges to the railroad track.
He will continue TO block out ore
and probably will not ship any more
for a time until he can begin haul
ing with an assurance OF steady out
put. The returns received this week
