Mining Property
Brings Large Sum

Among other interesting data
found in checking records at the
courthouse, it is learned that min
ing property in this section is again
looming into its own It has long
been felt that this section would
some day equal and possibly excel
other noted sections in Montana and
nearby states. That interest is
mounting is shown by the recent
changes of property shown on
county records.
A deed is recorded whereby Elsie
M. Stavens conveys a SIG interest
in the Silver Butte Zinc & Lead
Mining Company to William Curtis.
Revenue stamps in the amount of
SCI indicate an approximate $50
900 transaction Another deed on
file conveys a 499t interest in the
same property from William and
Alice Curtis to The Silver Butte
Zinc & Lead Mining Company.
Fifty-three dollar stamps are at
tached to the deed, indicating an
$4,000 deal. A third
deed transfers 5196 of the company
shares to and from the same par
ties, with go dollar revenue stamps
again indicating a near
S56, 900 transaction.

Will Pack Libby
Ski Hill, Friday

The ski hill needs packing down!
It is hoped that the elements will
be favorable Friday night so that
everyone who possibly can will ar
rive at the hill prepared to help
in the project. If Mother Nature
is tipping the water bucket on us
during that evening the work will
be planned for Sunday provided the
same conditions do not exist.
Although there is much moisture
on the streets in town, the ski hill,
situated on the north slope, is more
protected and retains snow for some
time usually after it has melted in
town. However, with the heavy
rainfall and thaw the snow is too
wet and loose for safe skiing. The
small group that sIiied last Sunday
packed down a strip up the hill and
it was good to use. The packing
should also tend to decrease the
speed of melting of the snow.
If a large group cooperates, it
won't take long to do the work and
the rest of the evening can be spent
in enjoyment of this favorite win
Ter sport.
