When wages rise to a point that div-, idends cannot be paid investors inevitably the mines must close, fill with water, and wait for a more propitious time in world affairs in which to. reopen. The same result happens when the ore values fail to, justify milling. The business of gold mining is perhaps the most precarious in the world.

But once it was started it grew with startling The present location above Cisco was finally chosen, and it is now regarded as the best one in this part of the state. It even compares favorably with ski courses abroad and in the east in this country. The speaker stated that when skiing first began ;to attract throngs, the roads were ‘badly blocked with snow and no attempt was made by the state highway to maintain them through the heavy storms One year the members of the state legistature were made guests of the club and ‘Auburn volunteered to bring the members from Sacramento to Cisco and return them.
