SHEEP MEN WILL BE
LATE THIS YEAR

Grant Merrill OF Woodfords, came
down from Alpine yesterday. He
states that there is more snow in the
high Sierras than for many years
past A number of sheep owners
have endeavored to cross the summit
to this side but it has been found to
be impossible. 1t will be late in
June before they can comee over the
mountains. This is the latest season
in many years, as sheep men gener-
ally force their way over as soon as
the range and snow will permit.
Grant states that there will be no
shortage of water up his way, in fact
there is apt to be too much OF it for
all needs,as many OF the big banks of
snow have not started to melt as yet.
He states that there is some revival
in mining in that section OF the world
Several parties are developing prop
critics which give every indication of
turning into a mine. lie hopes to
see a general revival in a mining way
in that section.
All crops are delayed on account
Of the cold weather. Alfalfa and grain
are both retarded. Alpine has short
season at best and a little sunshine
would be appreciated. Mr.. Merrill
will return in his auto sometime dur
