(Special to Gateway by United Press)
j FAIRMONT, W. Va., March 1.—
; Cultivating the fur-bearing mole is
! highly profitable according to George
Pryor, who has established a mole
farm near White Rock, upon which he
! now has nearly 1,000 of the little dlg
' gers. Each pelt is worth ten cents
j and as it costs nothing to raise the
• animals, Pryor is making a good
margin of profit. His farm consists
! of about one acre of ground.

testing some of the mining prospects
close to Skagway which have been
passed up in former years by miners
