Mules Used To
Take Provisions
To Town of 1200
An Intimate glimpse of the trouble
that Sllverton, Colo., a town of 1200,
has been undergoing this winter. Is
contained In a letter received by
Postmaster L. E. Anderson, at Cove,
(from Postmaster Ralph Shaw of 811-
Iverton.
The town has been marooned by
snow from any transportation except
j by mule trains and conditions there
have received considerable national
publicity.
"We still have 30 mule loads of de
layed parcel post that Bhould reach
!thia office by Monday next," the 811
Iverton letter said. . . . "We have 48
i head of mules In two strings one of
! these coming daily giving us a
j chance In case of trouble to double
jup as the two strings pass each other
j halfway down the canyon. . The
! snowslides are O. K. to pack over
the mules do not sink in much but
between slides and getting up onto
the slides Is a terror. One trip the
'boys never went over 200 feet wlth
jout repacking a mule due to his sink
ling In with a load and not being able
I to move this meant unloading and
!re-packlng again after getting the
'mule onto new ground."
"The town 1b not suffering any to
date for lack of provisions, but the
coal shortage Is becoming very acute
j many families are out of coal now
and more will be. The local coal deal
ers have no cool at all to sell," he
said.
