Is considerably different and probably a little more thrilling than cutting cross-cuts in a Nevada mine, in the opinion cf Felix Borzynskl, University of Nevada graduate, who has been in charge of the preliminary work incident to the making of the great Stone Mountain monument near Atlanta, to the memcry cf Lee, Jackson and Davis. Borzynski, accompanied by his wife, arrived here this week from Georgia on a vacation trip after, spending a year and a half working on the im mense granite mountain where the memorial to leaders cf the Southern Confederacy will eventually be hewn out of solid rock. As engineer for the Stone Mountain Granite Corpcraticn It was Bcrzyn- ski's job to prepare the face of the gltUt bUUUU pile lUf I.J1C DtUlJJUUlB uo work and he found that his mining experience in Nevada and the training he secured at the Mackay School cf Mines were the real weapons with which to attack the big job, which had been started by another concern that failed. The contract calleel for smoothing up a panel on the great round pile cf solid granite two hundred feet long and 140 feet high with the base cf the panel two hundred feet above the ground. The job has been completed and the panel is now ready for the sculptors to start work cutting in the figures cf Lee, Jackson, Davis and the color bearers.

Just a million cubic feet cf granite was moved In making the panel and the removal brought Into play all the tricks of a miner's trade although Borzynskl says he could find no miners in or near At lanta, but trained several to handle the big machine drills used on the job. Stone Mountain is a solid granite mound, seven miles in circumference and seven hundred feet high. EINC REPA! RED Wcrk was started tcday cn a new section cf the Mount Rose road, between Bald Mountain saddle and Grass Lake, building some new read and at the same time repairing the wit oner Dm An mu A prospector, who had been out of touch with civilization for a couple of years, bumped into the burro caravan racing from Goldfield to Reno vesterday afternoon while the trip across the desert from Tonopah to Millers was in progress, and fixed tip the radio set so that bulletins are apparently coming through the air again telling of the contest between the eight Goldfield burros to be the first to reach Reno for Southern Nevada Day at the exposition. The Goldficlders here were still arguing today about the map showing the route, but promised the friends of the burros that It would be up in the Golden lobby this afternoon. Tha bulletins, because of the fact that the radio equipment was out of order, did not come very fast.

As said before, the veracity of the bulletins is vouched for by such eminent citizens as Milt Dctch, Dr. Turner, Clyde Johnson, John Kunz and others. Ycu do not need to oeneve them if you don't care to, but this is the last one: "The gang was going along nicely after leaving Tonopah to cross the desert but a war broke out at Millers as to which was the best route and it is every one for himself from now on. Two cf the gang left by the Silver Peak road, but expect to meet the rest of the bunch at Mina. Tire heat has been something fierce and most of the canary special are likely to travel at night from now on.

All arc anxious to reach Sodaville so they may have a good swim and then to Mlna where a great reception awaits them. "The canaries are all very musical and in fine fettle except Long Slim who appears to lag somewhat. "Monkey and Blue Jinney are setting the pace and two appear to be dropping behind but they may be waiting for their second wind. "The leaders reached Summit Springs late in the evening, the rest straggling in. All are well except Long who still appears listless.

The stop did them all good and most of them made an early start this morning, as i Mina seems only a hort distance. Elue Jinney has all the frailties or her sex and will not speed up unleGS she is chewing on a piece of inner tube. An objection was made to this at first but was ignored. "Clyde Johnson says he likes iho Jinney and Milt Deteh says the Monkey for him. Bill Gray says he re members the time when a grandson of Long Slim ate up the only suit of red flannels that was in Goldfield at the time and that a Gold Medal flour sack felt pretty good.

John Kunz says that Croppie is cut of some of the stock that he rode into Goldfield and he says it was some stock too.
