A determined effort  is  being
made to  complete  the  outside
work  on the   Silverado with a
view to undertaking active mining    operations    this    winter.
Since J. J. Coughlan and his associates took over this property
they  have  been   tremendously
handicapped  by  unusually  bad
weather,   making  work on the
steep ground on which   the   Silverado is situated, almost impossible; the amount of work accomplished under the conditions is a
credit to not only the management but also to  the  men, who
were actually  doing  the  work.
Now the bad weather has broken,
and given the management new
encouragement, with the result
that the work which had almost
been shut down has started up
again, and every effort is   being
made to comelete the tram line
and a few other minor details of
outside construction before the
weather becomes too bad to work
outside.   It is estimated  by   the
management that if the present
good weather will  hold for two
weeks they will be able to  complete the tram from the lower to
the upper camp; also run a cable
across the canyon, from the upper camp to the thowings, a distance of about 800 feet, and which
will be used for the  purpose  of
taking   the   men   and   material
safely over the slide to and from
their work, and also for the purpose of carrying the ore from the
mouth of the tunnel to the head
of the tram, which will be established about 200 feet above the
upper camp.    Work on this cable
across the   canyon   has  already
started.    Materials for the com-

THE   FIRE   DEPARTMENT
IT is proposed to take up at the next
general meeting of the Citizens' Association the matter of reorganization of the
Fire Department. It most certainly is
time some steps to this end were taken.
While there is a certain amount of organization, in that, in the event of fire, certain
people have specific posts and duties to
perform of which they are fully aware,
still there is left a lot which should be
tightened up, in order that the maximum
of efficiency may be obtained.
Another thing that will have to be
settled, is that of private citizens borrowing ladders, etc., from the fire hall, and in
a great many cases without saying anything to any one about it. A stop will
have to be put to this, if the people of
Stewart wish to maintain a fire fighting
organization.    Judging from experience

Another matter that will have to be

These are matters of the utmost importance to the residents of Stewart;

us that a man proudly announced the
