Mr. Snyder had the ore assayed and found that it contained a con siderable quantity of gold. He kept going deeper and getting more gold and reported to the Chester ‘Weaver Company, Studebaker dis: tributors at San Francisca, that be- tween selling Studebaker cars and mining sold, she had his. hands full. In a few weeks, as the shaft sunk deeper, his garage was full, too—full of dirt from the excavation. ‘Tho miners were bringtng up so uch ore that the Snyder service Gepartment was getting too crowd d for comfort. By that time, how- ver, he had taken enough money lout of the mine to pay for the gar- Sage. But the congested condition could mot continue. It reached a point where Snyder had to give up the inine or give up the garage, Since kers were being Mr. Snyder be- gan to do some figuring.
