When asked why he had arrived at his opin- ion he said he had made three trips up the mountain during the past few days and he finds conditions changed a great deal from what they were last season. The going up is tough this year, he said, owing to certain portions of the mountainside which were hard surfaced are now soft shale and then the reverse is found coming down the mountain The shale spots of last year have all been swept away by slides and now presenting hard sur faces.

planned:

and ship them from New York to

THE stage equipment Of the

inventoried at 81 100000.

"The larger part of the revenue
