Mayor Toole Explains Bond Plan For New Fire Station
At a board of trade luncheon Mayor Hugh Toole outlined a proposed 25 000 bond issue to fund a new brick fire station. He argued repairs to the old frame station would not improve protection or lower costs, while a new building could reduce insurance and save rent. The plan awaits voter approval next Tuesday and the site purchase details remain under discussion.

Big Creek Mines Seen With Bright Outlook
Mine inspector visit this week highlights the Argentine mine near Big Creek showing 40 ounces of silver per ton with siderite copper throughout a 50 foot drift. Depth suggests richer ore, with a potential for deep development and new shaft work. Shipments rise from 50 to 100 tons daily, aided by efficient ore handling and favorable smelter terms. Nearby districts show extensive activity with the Sunshine and Big Creek holdings under lease to Bunker Hill Sullivan, plus promising prospects in Revett and Sterling Silver Mountain properties.
