Stateline this week is the scene of
considerable activity. That is as far
as assessment work is concerned. Ev-

Mr. Drake came over from Gold
Springs to spend Christmas with his
family, but Mr.. Brakes Christmae
was short one. He found on arriv-
al that he had to go to Modena for
some personal express; but he had a
good Christmas supper.
billiard Lancaster left Monday for
the Escalante Valley with a bunch of
cattle. He intended putting the cat
tie in Stilwell's field for the winter.
Christmas in Stateline was passed
in rather an agreeable manner. Ev-
erybody layed off from the mines, and
at night Christmas tree was held
for the benefit of the children, in
which Mr.. O'Grain ofliciated as Santa
Claus. A dance followed, and an en-
joyable time was had.
Three sheep herds belonging to Ad-
ans Brothers are in the valley about
five miles below here. Manager Will
Adams came up last week on business
pertaining to his sheep industry, in
GLIDING the locating of man to act
as camp mover, but he was unsuccess-
full in securing help.
George Scott of Hamblin Valley re-
turned from Modena the middle of the
week with a big load of salt for the
Adams Brothers sheep herds. Mr..
Scott says that as soon as he can get
wind mill and few other neces-
sites installed, he will be in position
to feed and care for outside stock,
which will be a great boon to some of
the livestock growers of the surround
ing country.
Things at the Flinspach ranch this
week are certainly on the busy order.
1t is "pig-killing" week, and it is no
uncommon sight to see hogs hanging
up that would weigh from 200 to Geo
pounds apiece. Mr.. Flinspach GER
tainly understands the butchering
business, having Learned the trade in
Germany. His boys are close imita-
tors of their father in this profession.
Bert Prince of Enterprise came over
last week with big load of hay for
Mrs. Drake. He came late and re-
turned early without letting his pres
ence be known to his friends here.

He gives the following explanation of
how it was done. He says that he
killed three cats with one of the shots
and blow snake with the other, max

LISTEN TO THIS! 1t is learned
on good authority that the Sunflower
in the early part of the winter. Work
will begin in about a week to get the
mill in shape. The mills last cam
paign was under the direction of Dick
Bryant, Fred Snow and Bob Weiss.
This time it is said that the mill will
be managed by the party of Kimball
from the Ophir and Rice mines.
Tyron and Buehl, who own and OPP
crate the Rice mines, are optimistic
over the showing of ore in the face
of the Jumbo tunnel Eight feet of
the vein assays from six dollars to
ten dollars per ton in gold, while a
streak a foot wide on the foot wall
assays from ten to thirty dollars per
ton in gold, and picked samples will
run well up into the thousands of dol
lars. With the tunnel 400 feet into
the mountain and depth of approx
imately 275 feet, the management
says that there is enough ore in sight
to keep the mill in operation for years
to come.
jim Roberts and his son Jess con-
tinue to haul ore down from the Ophil
mine to modena with uninterrupted
regularity. 1t looks as if there was
something doing at the Ophir, but the
Ophir is not the only Stateline prop
erty that can produce shipping ore
Although it is the main mine of this
camp, below is list of mines that car
and have shipped ore: Sidewinder
Creole, Sunfower, Johnny, Rocky
Mountain, Burro, Utah Spur and Rice
Mines.
