Nov. 5, 1897
The Mail was pleased to hear that the Board of Trade had protested against the ridiculous sanitary regulation which required a dumping ground to be located on the Big Bend Road.

This will afford a good opportunity for the Mammoth mine to get out their ore as soon as the sleighing becomes good.
