G. Cushman is concerned m that district. In one of the mines being developed a ledge has been struck carrying a gold content as high as $500 a ton. while several mines in the district are working in very profitable ledges.

PAVING DETOURS CUTTING HIGHWAY AUTO TRAFFIC Paving work on the highway and the detours required to reach Shelton from the South has resulted in a marked decrease in the auto traffic over the Olympic highway, and is not pleasing to those who have made extra preparation to cater to the pub- lic. There seems to be more than usual of the camping element, who have their outfit along and are found camped in all the pleasant spots along the way. Once the highway is paved our troubles will be over and for- gotten in gliding over the smooth way. CHANGES MADE IN " STAGE SCHEDULES In order to handle the passenger traffic between Shelton and Olympia under the increased mileage neces- sary each of the stage lines has dropped one of its trips. The mail stage now leaves Olympia at 7 and 3, Shelton at 11 and 6 p. m., and the Thompson-Dunbar line leaves Shelton at,:7 and 3, and Olympia at 11 and 5:30 o'clock. This still leaves four daily round trips between the two points. The fare will be $2 while he extra run Js necessary.
