FOR
 PREMIER MINE

Next week the motorsled ore truck ordered for try-out by the Premier Gold Mining Company should arrive here on the Prince John, Superinten- dent w. G. Harris having received word that it has been shipped from Seattle. MT. Harris does not antici- pate that proper test can be given the new hauling device until around the middle of December, as the heavy snow does not come as rule before that time. If the tractor proves to be the success which it's makers claim for it, others will be ordered in sufficient num- Der to handle the tonnage which the company expects to ship this winter. Barring the depth of snow there are no difficulties on the road and until the tractor is in operation the road will be kept open by teams. One snowslide crosses the road at Eleven-Mile but no trouble is anticipated from it.
 It is the intention to install compress or machinery at the mine about the middle of December and put in power drills. When this is done the daily ore tonnage will be materially increased. Meanwhile everything at the mine has been put in ship shape for the win ter for carrying out the development program laid out some time ago. An electric light plant has been instal led and the bunk house, cook house, com pressor building and ore sorting shed are now being wired for lights, and lines will be carried to the mine entran- ces.
 If there has been a deal made for the sale of the Premier there has been no official information of the fact received here. and no change in the working program already outlined has been made
 lice President R. K, Neill is expected in next Thursday. and will perhaps oispel or confirm the rumors that have been 1 floating about.

In the cities the Elks are handling the drive, and all re- turned soldiers organizations are sup porting it.
