has been completely overhauled and
through the expert management of
Mr.. Witty and sons, the mill is keep
ing three shifts busy.

Frank Waller Claim situated in the
Animas mining district, reports the
finding of some very rich ore in that
propery which is at present leased by

CONDITIONS FAVORABLE

All preparations are being made
for very successful fair at the fair
grounds the first week in October.
The fair directors and other officers
are busy and conditions are most
favorable at this time.
The conditions of the San Juan
basin roads are such that we should
have larger attendance than usual.
There are many more autos in the
country and with dry weather the
road over the pass will be in good
condition and we should expect many
visitors from the San Luis valley
and other sections of the state.
The first week in October is nor
mally one of the finest of the year.
Uusally the fall rains are over and it
is too early for snow. With this un-
derstanding the people will be glad
to plan trip to Durango and the
fair grounds.
The baseball games that are being
planned for that week should of
themselves draw a big crowd. The
teams that are planning to be here
are the best in this section of the
state and everybody enjoys a good
game of baseball. Then there are
the races and amusements that will
take up the entire time of everybody
who comes for good time.

Oh trenches between Flers and Mar
tinpuich. The British line is now di-
rectly north of those villages. South
