Monkeys in Nalabar, India are reportedly trained to perform household tasks, a curious note at the end.

Washington Water Power plans a two to three year program to measure snow water content in the mountains feeding Coeur d Alene Lake. Engineer John Fiaken will select observation courses near Sunset North Fork South Fork St Joe and St Maries with a Milwaukee tunnel weather station.

Brady Development survey reread extends vein depth
Brady Development indicates the vein will run considerably deeper than earlier estimates. A new drilling machine was moved to the property early this week after the old one failed following a 1200 foot run in very hard rock with water content above normal for the year. In seeking snow courses, Mr. Fisken was accompanied by George Richardson, local representative of the Washington Water Power Company.
