All the workings are on private property, quite some distance from any public road; trespassers thereon are in danger from blast- ing and from caving ground. Approaches to the workings have been posted with trespass notices but some notices may be covered with snow. Therefore, the public is warned, whether or not they see a notice, against going into the vicinity of the open pits or the extension thereof, particularly in the Icy Gulch area. It is hoped that this warning will be heed- ed by all, thereby making any trespass pro- ceedings unnecessary.
