New Shaft on the Pamlico Placer
Claims,

whom are interested in the Pamlico
placer mines, were in town for few

heavy snow.
On the Burns, Blackburn and
Schumacher claims new shaft is be-
ing sunk about quarter of mile
below the Brady shaft, which has
now reached "a depth of 60 feet. A
slight delay has been caused by the
loosening of the ground at that depth
making it necessary to use timber.

the board and stated that that com

eral years on six mining claims
which had been assessed as patented
mines but which had never been pat

taxes of 1915, which had been paid
under protest. After investigation,
and on the advice of District Attor-
ney Merose, it was decided to com
ply with the request and refund the
taxes with the exception of that por-
tion which was due the state.

From Thorne

One of the section men named
Dave Lembarton had narrow es-
cape from serious accident one day
| during the week. Whilst standing
on the front of the section speeder,
when it was going at full speed, he,
in some unaeeountable way, fell in
front of the car which passed over
his leg, intlicting nasty bruise. The
accident id not, however, incapaci-
tate him from work.
The section foreman of Thorne has
been transferred to Luning and Mr..
Clontz, the foreman of the latter
place, to Thorne This is an accept
able change which every resident of
Thorne thoroughly appreciates.
A bunch of miners who failed to
'make' Aurora owing to the snow
blockade, returned to Thorne on Fri
day and beat the freight to a more
congenial cline.

there came putting up the railroad

that will go down the line of Miller
generations as thrilling episode
among the interesting "reminiscences
of the past. Just the mere incident
of the snow being light prevented
serions trouble, if not tragedy. AS
it was two chains were broken, which

No Sheep Lost in the Snow.

During the heavy storms in the
first part of the week much anxiety
was felt for the safety of the various
sands of sheep now on winter pas
ture in this vicinity, and especially
for Yparraguirre's band, which is in
the Garfield flat where there are two
feet of snow. j. H. kirkpatrick left
here Monday morning with one of
Adams & Millers teams to ascertain
the condition of these latter, and
found that there had been no loss.
No word has vet been received from
