Mrs. M. Bradley is certainly to
be commended and congratulated
for sodding the embankmentl lead

The representations of the wise
guys who insisted that Mine La
Motto was closed down for good
and all, still have another guess
coming. The mine started to
work again this week. A notice
was posted the last of last week
that all who wanted to work could
get employment by applying at
the Office. We understand that
for a short while only one shift
will be worked, owing to a short
age on men, but that a full force
will be put on in a few weeks.
But then, you never can tell about
old Mine La Motte.-Fredericktown
