As soon as we began working a pump was put in to the depth of 35 reet from the slope, and this has left the work- ing face practically dry, permit ting miners to drive the slope unhampered. We are going down approximately three feet a day. It is our intention to double shift the slope work so that we can get down to about 600 feet as quickly as possible. “The situation is encouraging, and I believe that within six months we shall open the eyes of “he people of Juneau and South- eastern < Alaska to the fact that the Admiralty Island coal field is one of high grade coal, compar- us we had BENZO WITCH HAZEL CREAM is an elegant preparation for chapped hands and face and all roughness of the skin.
