LOCAL MEN PERFECTfNG POINT DRIVER AND
 PROSPECTING DEVICE

A novel point driver and pros pecting device has been perfected by William P. Armstrong of Nome which promises to simplify work for which it is adapted and to cut the cost of operation to mini mum.
 This new invention is expected to save good deal of labor and it is thought that one man with a machine can take care of as many points as crew under the old methods. The device is very sim pie and can be used with either a tripod for single operations, or strung on an overhead cable along a battery of points. A very heavy weight too heavy for the ordinary man to raise-and heavy rubber cable which acts as spring to raise the weight, are the principal parts of it.
 When digging a prospecting hole tIle WtlSut IS TepldCeu DS d long heavy steel bar and will do away with the use of boiler for thaw- ing, in sinking hole.
 The point driver will soon be demonstrated for the public here ard a workout of driving points and digging prospect holes will be made shortly. The machine has been through several try-outs re- gently by the inventor and his CO., partners in the enterprise. Joseph x Earle and Geo. S. Maynard.
 The inventor MT. Armstrong. has already nine patents to his credit. two of which are here in town. One of these is a can punch and one is in use at Milo's Cafe and is handy and useful arrange ment. Another is a boxing dunn my. which is installed in the home o: Dr. Fromm and this has proved very popular with moving picture pl ploducers in their filming of gym nastic events. etc., and has been by at least a dozen National title-holders of the fistic profession
