Proper Ski Outfit Can be Secured Here To those who are not already equipped for the winter snows of the Sierras and who may desire to take in the winter sports this year, little word of admonition might not be amiss.

Expensive outfits are not required, and in fact are not desirable.

A light sweater, over good substantial undeclothing is all that is needed for the upper trunk. 8ki trousers, of light material, and ski shoes, manufactured and sold by local concerns finishes off the outfit. These can be obtained right in Auburn cheaper, better and more satisfactorily than they can be furnished by concerns in the large centers of population, who have advanced prices in most instances, like they do in all lines of seasonal goods.

Nov. 28. Further revival of mining in the Mother Lode was evidenced here today when announcement was made that I. E. Selix, San Francisco merchant, and soup of associates had begun rehabilitation of the Ford sold mine, lying just outside the corporate limits of San Andreas.

The present depth is 750 feet with 3500 feet of lateral work and no stopping. It is generally conceded; among lode mining men that, upwards.

of. $250,000 hag been spent: An development work on the mine- during years past. Selix states that his company intends to erect a 100-ton daily capacity cyanide plant and will employ a modern process which tests have shown result in a 95 per cent bullion recovery.

GREAT EXCESS OF DRIVERS OVER CARS One Out of Every 2.7 Persons Drive a Car There were 32,000,000 drivers in the United States as compared with a. motor vehicle registration of 500,000 on January 1, 1930, according to figures reported by the California State Automobile Association. This was the highlight of a nationwide survey conducted by the American Automobile Association to determine the ratio of drivers to cars throughout the country. Among the things disclosed by the survey are: 1.

That drivers exceed motor vehicle registration by 5,500,000. 2. That there are 1.2 drivers to every registered motor vehicle. 3. That of the people eligible to drive, that is, persons fifteen years of age and over, numbering ap-000, one out of every 2.7 persona drives a car.

4. That of the 32,000,000 operators on the streets today, 22,000,000 are in states where it is not mandatory that all motorists take an examination as to their ability, mental and physical, to drive an automobile. The fact that there are 5,500,000 more drivers than there are cars in the United States is regarded as evidence of the great reservoir of potential automobile buyers which still exista in the country and that the "saturation point" is still far away. Another conclusion drawn from the survey is that it points to a great increase in the number of motor vechicles op the streets and highways in pothe immediate future and that caring tar highway traffie from the standpoint of safety and smooth flow is an urgent national problem.
