should forge ahead with a full head of steam. The installing of the machinery on the big dredge at the river continues, and it will be several weeks yet before the boat will be put to work.

V. S., Downie of •North Judson, was caled and at this time they are doing reasonably well and the chances of saving the team look good. Mr. Brookie, owner of the elevator, will make good to Sands, we are informed, as he should.
