MITCHELL BUCKS SNOW DRIFTS IN TERRIBLE DRIVE

The smile that won't come off IS wreathing the face or J. C. c"Cal) Skinner, Mitchell dealer for Stockton, California, because of his record of again being first to reach the Calaveras grove of giant Redwood trees. A Mitchell Victory model carried the par ty to victory over the Sierra mountain drifts in a thirty-six hour fight that MT. Skinner declares was the hardest he ever had to make.
 Two giant SequoiaS, knows the Twin Sentinels, have guarded the entrance to the grove for thousands of years. Thick Of trunk when the Greeks and Persians grappled at Marathon these trees were huge in the days of the Punic wars Of ancient history. The grove, with it's mammoth collection, has been d show spot of America.
 Every spring there is a keen contest among Stockton automobile men to be the first to reach the grove and this year renewed interest was given tn the event by the falling of one of the giant Redwood sentinels during terrific wiEdstorm the day before Thanksgiv- ing. In spite of the heavy snow-drifts which barred the way J. c. Skinner de- termined to make the attempt early enough to forestalI other contenders for the honor.
 With the experience of many fights before him, MT. Skinner was fully alivo to the hardships and dangers of such a trip. The car suffers in special in an event like this as its sturdiness and endurance are taxed to the limit in the gruelling hours of bucking and blowing through the snow. But he also knew the Victory Mitchell and what it would do, and was not afraid of the outcome.
 A day was spent in assembling
Arizona republican., 1920-02-08

equipment and food, a pair of snow shoes of MT. Skinner's invention being included. These were large wooden drums attached to the rear wheels and carrying cables. The cables were fast ened to a tree ahead of the car and as tho reer wheels revolved. were wound up on the drums, thus pulling the car through the snow by it's own boot straps.
 The start was mao- at midnight and by am.the party had arrived at the worst part of the trip, a snow covered grade three quarters of a mile long. leading to the grove. Here an hour vas spent putting on the snowshoes ana ating breakfast.
 Some idea of the almost impossible nature of the going can be gained from the fact that it took three hours of racking. grilling. work to cover those three quarters Of a mile. Pulling con : stantly on the cables, with none of the give and take of ordinary driving. was the hardest test ever put to a car," says Mr Skinner and I don't believe an other car in the world could have stood

 A. Without question the counter

 will have to replace them- I hardly
 think this can be done without remov- ing the torque tube and transmission unit together with the differential housing cover. The best job can be done with the entire axle detached from the car.

 Every part of the mechanism from the engine to the rear wheels was under a train many times greater than 1t was ever meant to carry and if there were any weak spots in the car. they would have showed up then.
