Show FEBRUARY 6, 1931. MINING INDUSTRY ABLY DISCUSSED By H. C. HICKS p. s. 0. THE BOX ELDER NEWS, jell Powder 5c Pkg. ' (Continued from First Page.)

Last year being the year for census taking and for making estimates on the various industries of the country, it was natural to make a check on what the mining industry means to our state.
