G.  _ammers at $24,000,' plus the assumption of a mortgage of $9S,000. Discussing the transaction The Nelson  News   says:  "The Slocan Star, which is a silver-  lead property, has been operated for  over twenty years. Six years ago the  mine was operating on a large scale  and the current earnings allowed much-  improvement to -.the property. Up to  date machinery was installed, includ-,  ing a concentrator and still the property paid large dividends. The reason  given for the - failure was that the  management did hot provide'sufficient  reserve and last year when the chutes  failed there was not enough to open  up new bodies which ar.e known to  exist. Upon the shareholders refusing to be assessed further there was  nothing left to do but to wind up the  business.  with   the pro-  purchaser has  "Those acquainted  erty state that the  acquired a bargain."     (  The Mandy Mining Company has  now 9,000 tons of ore at the head of  navigation on April 1, awaiting the  opening of the lakes and the Saskatchewan river. It is being carried  to the Pas, Man., by steamboat and  barge, where it is being shipped by  rail to Trail. It is expected that ore  will come down at the rate of 900  tons a week- during the summer.  Three steamboats and six barges/will  be put at the work by the Ross Navigation Company. Twelve cars shipped this-month to Trail were freighted  by returning teams.

In one day there were  1,275 hog's delivered^ auto trucks >,to  the South Omaha market, the highest  number received in one day.  f  The shortage of railway cars is  responsible for thev increasing popularity of auto truck transportation,  and the farmers find that there is considerable > saving in shrinkage and  time as compared with rail shipment.  From 10 to 20 hogs may be loaded  In a truck, and the charge is about  25 cents per 100 pounds up to 25  miles, an additional 10 cents per 100  pounds being added for longer distances.  CAR    HARVESTS   ICE ';  Maxwell  Replaces Hordes to  Bring in  ^ Winder Crop. ■'  There are automobile men-who hold  that every person understands that a  motor car will do the work of four  horses. Taking the place of 125  'horses is a different proposition.  There are few men—even automobile  men, • who will have' the audacity to  claim that most persons know this  can  be done. »  [That it can,, however, is testified to  by a Wellesley, Mass.,- iceman.. His  _oto.r~cari.did the work, did.it when  horses arid men were scarce.  • 'Ordinarily his ice harvest requires  '25 horses and 85 men"., He was experiencing trouble in getting men and  horses'.' - *- '."'"'
