The old gambling spiril of the min
ing camps still prevails at Bodie
Recently he Treadwell-Yukon Com
pany received a gasoline shovel
with which to move the dirt of
old dumps of the camp to be rim
through their mill. Tne shovel
which was equipped with a cater
pillar attachment with which it is
moved from place to place in the
work, weight 78.300 pounds and
the task of getting it to camp over

the Lucky Boy summit and up thru j -
Bodie Canyon presented somej,,
problem. No equipment was avail-J
able with which to ham the huge j
piece of machinery and top speed ;'
*or the caterpillar drive is a mile j!
and a half on the level ground 1
and under ideal conditions. It wssji
finally decided to tow the shovel to
camp behind two five-ion trucks ;;
and at the same time boost with i
its own power
All sorts of estimates of toa time
that would be consumed by ttm trio
from t h e railroad station o f
Thorne were made, varying all the
wav from a week to a month.
Finally a pool was formed try ,
! each of the men chipping in a
dollar for his guess until a tola*
of something like $50 had been de
posited in the pool The man who
! guessed the closest to the day and
the hour when the shovel would
appear around the bend of the
canyon belowr the town drew down
Sthe entire pool. About 2 p. m. on
; the tenth day the shovel pulled
i around the bend and the luckv
man drew down more than a week’s
wages on a guess of within an
hour of the exact time, while the
second guess was within two hours
of the arriving time.

Placing of correct addresses and
return addresses on all Christmas
mail was urged by Arch Coleman,
the First Assistant Postmaster
General. The full text of the state
men follows;
In January every year the dead
letter service receives between 3,~
300.000 and 4,000,000 dead letters ;
containing Christmas and New j
Year cards in addition to the nor- i
mal receipts of ordinary undeliver- l
able letters.
This is due primarily to incor
rect addresses and failure to place
return addresses on the envelopes.
Thousands of these letters are
found to contain gifts of money
but comparatively few contain suf
ficient information to enable their
return to the mailers.
Sourdough Bill, although not
so well versed in the art of avia
tion, is of the opinion that the
breakwater which is to be built
in Resurrection Bay next year
should be a boon to sea-going
planes. When rough seas prevail
I what could be better than to
; find refuge behind the Seward
I breakwater
