Unprecedented snowfall in the district Mt. Nebo the past winter, with the snow still lying deep on the levels, has been followed by more snowslides than have been witnessed in the slopes off old Mount Nebo in eighteen years, according to one One of these avalanches curried off some of the buildings of the Nebo Highland and consequently work has been susjiended there temporarily, according to Louis Fugal, who was in town yesterday. However, several of the properties are working right and with very encouraging developments having been made in the past few weeks. Nebo Star has just marketed a car of ore. In the extreme south end of the ML Nebo district the Clara Nebo property is being worked. In the tunnel, which is now 100 feet, a little mineralization is beginning to make its appearance. This work is in limestone and in some distance from the objective point. Nebo Excelsior is showing some mineralization in the face tunnel. It is in the of it 125-folime also, but is over two miles north of the Clara Nebo and is directly below the Eva mine.

Last year, probably a littlet later in the spring, a public sanitary meeting was held in which methods were discussed, "how to catch the fly with home-mad- e screen traps."
