MUSCODA

DR.. c. F. Rodolf of Madison
was in our village the first of
this week looking over the situation
with view to putting in a bus line
from Muscoda to Madison. MIR. Rodolf,
whose native home is Muscoda, is
rather optimistic about such a pro-
ject now that our railroad train SER
vice has been cut, and he intimated
that if he established such line, he
would make headquarters at Muscoda.
Such a bus line as Mr.. Rodolf con-
templates would touch, of course, vii
lagos and cities in a direct line be-
tween Muscoda and the Capital City.
AS the postoffice building lease will
soon expire, the department is calling

LATE SEASON HAMPERS OPERATIONS NUKA BAY,
 SAYS H. E. ELLSWORTH

Owing to the snow conditions in the Nuka Bay district, it is practic- ally impossible to do prospecting in the region at the present time, H. E. Ellsworth stated yesterday upon his return to Seward from a brief visit to the new camp. The western slopes of the mountains are cover ed with snow, an unusual condition for this time of the season, and, ac- cording to records kept at the bay, there has been only two clear days this month Mr. Ellsworth said it before prospectors can take the field in the district.
 Several of the properties were wis tied by MT. Ellsworth among which were the Lang ground where three men are at work. There is a splen- did body of ore running about 75 feet to the surface, with an approxi- mate showing of IA inches of fine ore flecked profusely with gold. Tim bers are now being set for the cross cut tunnel. A visit was also made to the Checha claim, belonging to Gillispie and Rosness. Work is pro. gressing on this claim. The surface is being sluiced off, and while Mr. Ellsworth was there, a small cleanup was made. The owners have not shoveled in the bedrock yet.
 The Copenhagen claim, belonging to the same people, has all the ear. marks of being winner, it is stat ed. The mineral zone runs from sev. en to eight feet in width.
 The E. Burman property is cover. ed with much snow at present, so the work is held back on account of the late season. This ground is re- ported as having a wonderful show ing. Three different ledges have been opened up in 15 to 20 places. Burman has picked up the ledge at distance of about 2,00O feet from the original discovery.
 The Alaska Hills Mining com pany is just getting started and has about 10 or 12 men now a. work.
 MT. Ellsworth said the Mccarthy glacier is throwing off miles of ice. During his trip on the basboat Chase, ice from the glacier reached 12 CT IA miles down the western shore Of the bay, the huge bergs making the journey more or less hazardous, es- Dec,ai'y with the fog which prevail ~ed Ut the time.
