H|GHGRADE TAKEN
OUT OF NATIONAL
tCcpyright.)

F. F. Bell, superintendent of the
Buckskin Gold Mining Company's
property near National, arrived from
the camp last evening. He brought in
165 pounds of high grade ore, worth
about SO per pound, which will be
shipped to San Francisco by express.
Owing to the difficulty of getting in
supplies, only a small force of men
will be employed on development work
during the winter. Next spring it is
the company's intention to install a
hoist and sink 100 to 200 feet further
on the ledge, from which at different
points in the present workings, a con-
siderable quantity of ore ranging in
value from So to SO per pound has
been taken out. 1t is believed that
with greater depth the high grade
streak will prove to be more consistent
and regular, a. was characteristic in
the National Mines Company's prop
erty, which is located only three miles
north of the Buckskin National.
However, the high grade production
of this property is only one Of it's good
features. The vein has been opened
up on the No. 2 level for a distance of
about 1000 feet and a large tonnage of
milling ore of excellent grade has been
taken out in the course of this de-
velopment.-HumboIdt Star.

He starts with mail strapped on his

And always comes home with an

It's a daily tramp from morning till
night,
Mail in his care he has always in
sight;
He makes daily trips only when
omitted by law,
Every day in the year, cold, hot,
stormy or raw.
Whatever the weather a blizzard or
snow,
1t makes no difference the Postman
must go;
Every house on his route, it's his
duty to call
And letters and packages delivered
to all.
With funds galore, and government

Why should not autos be passed

In justice to the Postman DO what

Tighten his labor, and act on the

He has sure thing, if he MAKES no
