Society Girl mine ships ore to Trail smelter
A 40 ton carload of ore from the Society Girl mine was sent to the Trail smelter early last week. Another carload is due this week. One team hauls from the mine steadily and two teams work part time on the lower road. Sleighing has been poor, hindering heavy loads. The Moyie Leader notes the mine looks promising.

Strike Averted on Christmas Eve with Rail Engineer Raise
The wage dispute with 61 railroads west north and south of Chicago ends with a raise totaling about 8.5 percent and an average $182 yearly gain per engineer. The deal gives 40 cents daily to most engineers plus specific differentials for 215000 pound and Mallet engines and $1 a day for the heaviest Mallets. The agreement, signed Saturday, also grants engineers control of certain locomotives and a 50 cent daily wage boost for the job, while hustlers receive 25 cents more daily. The settlement was brokered by U S Commissioner Charles Neill under the Erdman Act, avoiding a Western strike.
