LOOKS LIKE A REAL MINE
Mr. J. H. Rodgers of Los Ange
les, Cal., one of the owners of the
Dunton Gold Mine at Hollis, came
over from there last night. He has
just spent several weeks in making
a thorough examination of the prop
erty and workings and is highly
pleased with it. He confirms the
opinion expressed several weeks ago
to the Progressive-Miner, by Mr
M. M. Reese, the superintendent,
that it has the making of a rea>
mine. They will continue to work
the present small crew for this
winter, but Mr. Rodgers will return
to the states by an early boat to
perfect plans for larger development
in the spring, which includes the
erection of a 50 ton mill on the
property.

THE HYDAH LOOKING GOOD
Billy Poison returned from Karts
Bay last night where he has been
doing the annuatf*rassessment work
on the old Hydah property. He
reports that the property is look
ing better every year. Last year
he uncovered a new ore body car
rying better values than any found
on the property before, and this
year he and W. W. Rush discover
ed another ore body which is prac
tically an extension of the old
workings. This assures the prop
erty of an unusually large ore zonr.

GERMAN ARMY DESERTER IS
REFUSED ADDMISION INTO
COUNTRY
NEW YORK, Dec. 3—Heinie
Schultz, who says he is a desert
er from the German army, was ord
ered excluded from the United
States by a special board of inquiry
at Ellis Island today. Owing, how
ever, to the fact that if he return
ed to Europe. at present he would
be imprisoned by the British, he
was ordered interned on Ellis Isl
and until the end of the war.
Schultz arrived as a stowaway on
the Holland-American liner Noord
erdyke yesterday. He said he
fought at Liege, Antwerp and the
battle of the Marne, and that in
the latter battle most of the men in
the division to which he was at
tached were killed.
After he received word that his
father and brother had been killed
fighting he said he deserted, making
his way through Belgium and across
the Dutch border. At Lille, where
ho remained in hiding two months,
he was sheltered by a French girl.

HOLLIS IS GOOD CAMP
H. W. Webber, Superintendent
and part owner of the Ready Bul
lion Mine at Hollis, is in town
purchasing supplies for the winter.
He is more than pleased at the
way the Ready Bullion is showing
up. He is not mentioning any
figures but the last run of the
mill makes him all smiles, and they
have $10,000.00 worth of the same
kind of ore blocked out in the mine.
They will continue to work this
winter in the present limited way,
but Harry is going down to the
states to arrange for bigger things
next season. From this and other
reports it looks as though Hollis
will be on the man soon as a gold
camp.

SCHOOL NOTES
The "Entertainment Shop", re
cently given by the school, proved
a great -success. The receipts, after
all expenses were f>a1d amounted
to >100.80, which will be used for
some school improvement, probably
for a Victrola and basket ball. This
is the first time such a play has
been given and: from Its outcome
everyone has been * encouraged
enough to hope it will not be the
last.
account of Thanksgiving, there
was no school last Thursday "" ’

teachers spent the holidays- by go

SPOOK ISLAND IS
AGAIN SINKING
PONTIAC, Mich, Dec. 3—Spook I
Island, in Echo Lake, is again dis-1
appearing. Usually this island j
conies to the surface each summer 1
in June and continues rising until |
August, when it is about two feet
or more out of the water and is
covered with drooping vines, grass
and foliage. By the time ice forms,
the island has entirely disappeared,
so that the fishermen fish through
the ice over the spot where the
island was during the summer.
This island consists of peat and
bog, which burn readily when dried.
In the summer, stumps come up
from under tfle island six or eight
feet ovep night, raising the vines
until' the creepers hang in festoons.
Large pieces of the island break n
wny at times and float around the
lnke looking like huge boulders.
Echo Lnke is near Lakeville, nine
miles north, of Rochester nnd six
miles cast of Oxford.
