The east cross-cut on the 320-foot
level has advanced for about 1000
feet and apparently is about to pen
citrate the east or Rabbit Trail vein,
for which it has been driven. The
main Columbia Mountain fault vein
was cut some time ago and drifts
on this vein have exposed ore car

Jumbo Junior
At a point nearly due east of its
earliest workings, in its W ter

fault has been revealed, about $50

DETROIT, Sept. 13.-The famous
Hyatt Roller" the worlds long

the gumbo roads of the middle west,
the hot deserts of Nevada, the long
climbs in the Rocky mountains, only
to be ''pinched" upon reaching Port

the Hyatt Roller"
This automobile 1909 Buick
has been driven continuously since
First as a demonstration. racing and
touring car, and then used for haul

receiving in that time as hard a
grind as it is possible to give a car.
In 1915 it won the mileage contest
conducted by the Hyatt Roller Bear
ing company. the actual number of
miles travelled being 261 900.
The car, now called the Hyatt
Roller" has added over 5000 miles
to it's previous record on the pres

continent. 1t is still running on the
original set of Hyatt bearings, al
though it has worn out 500 tires and
consumed $4,000 gallons of gasoline.

The lakes of Finland, Of which there
