While engaged in logging operations
for the Premier, Moses Seg'iin suffered a
broken thigh and serious injuries to his
head by a Iqg rolling upon him. He was
brought down to the hospital late Mon
day night, and the leg is so badly swol
len the nature of the break cannot yet be
determined. It is a coincidence that
Mose was a partner of Ross Ficklin when
the latter was killed by a tree in the
same vicinity last November.

Inspecting
The Outland
Silver Bar
F. C. Outland, T.D. McLean, Robt.
Nielson, W.E. Bartholf and Thomas
Wilson, all of whom are interested
in the Outland Silver Bar property
on the west side of the Salmon gla
cier, arrived from Seattle Sunday
morning and-went up to the claims
the same day. Mr, Nielson and
Mr. Bartholf intend spending the
summer doing development work
and the others expect to leave for
their homes next Sunday. Mr. Out
land, president of the company, ,-s
an experienced mining man. and
from what h- saw of the property
iast year he is convinced that the
company has more than an even
chance of developing a very val
uable mine.
There are four claims in the
grbup and considerable develop
ment has been clone, principsLj
under the direct supervision of
E.H.Bartholf, opening up a number
of leads and proving the occurraju t
of some exceptionally high grade
silver and gold ore. Future opera
tions on the property will depend
largely on the decision of the visit
ors after their inspection of the
showings,
