All told there are seventy trailers in tho omjdoy of the miiH'H, tho biReHt produror of wbieh in t ho ( 'n rdi l'f , which daily ply between the mines and nine 1 1 ers. One larre truck, laden to full rapacity, drawing along a train of trailer of as hijdj an ten each at full onpnrity of U400 pounds, makes its wormdiko gyrations down the canyon in early morning and back to the niine in tho evening.

This appears to be an opportunity well worth the consideration of ambitious agents.
