An object of considerable at~
I tention to strollers about town is
he mining operations of Messrs.
Keene and Longfellow opposite
the Plein residence on East
, Front street. The partners have i
ieen sluicing since last Friday,
employing for that purpose the
water coming from one of the
j -ity drains in the near vicinity.
The unique feature of the open
, Mtions to visitors is that the
j tailings are being disposed of
through a large hole in the shore
;cc which is piled up many feet
in height opposite that point.
The action of the water has cut
away a large opening through
the ice ridge permitting the
waste material being carried out
onto the shore ic. The ground
being worked was formerly oc
cupied by the Keene home,
which was destroyed during the
big flood of 1913, and is said to
contain excellent values.

was beginning to crack about
one mile off shore but was solid
