Starts Newspaper Work Mr. Scott was born at Bath, Somersetshire, England, October 26, 1846, the youngest son of ; Russell Scott and Isabella Prestwich Scott. His early education was obtained in private schools, after . which he studied at Corpus Christi College, Oxford, being graduated with hon- ors in 1869. He began newspaper work on the Scotsman, with which he served two years and then transferred to the staff of the Man- chester Guardian. He married Miss. Rachel Cook, daughter of the Rev. Dr. John Cook, by whom. he had two sons and a daughter. Mrs. Scott died in 1905. Aided - Poor Besides his journalistic work, Mr. Scott was actively interested in social, philanthropic and educa- tional work .as well as.politics. He and his wife were credited with having done more than any other individuals to better the. cenditions of those who live in the crowded and poverty-ridden districts of Man- chester. Mr. Scott gave.of his time and ability to education in a practical manner by serving many;years. on the governing bodies of Manchester University, which in 1821 gave him THE PURCHASE OF ANY Standard Electric Appliance WILL PROVE A SAVING THROUGHOUT THE NEW YEAR OUR STOCK OF frons, Percolators and Toasters IS COMPLETE i Mlaska Electric Light and PHONE 6 the honorary .degree -of -doctor of laws; the Manphester .

Its average for the year was 665 men working every day in the year. This was an average of 30 more per day than were employed. in. 1930. Two New Ball Mills Not oniy was there a better show- ing in operations, but the company kept up its program of betterments to its existing plant. During the year it installed two new ball mills to replace the tube mills, the use of which will shorty be . discon- tinued. Other improvements to the ftems done with a view of main- taining the . capacity of the plant {and increasing its efficiency. Mine development continued throughout the year on the deep level. One winze was sunk on the North Ore Body a distance of 800 feet below. the main haulage level, and lateral work was commenced 2 [ to develop this body of ore with depth: This winze is now being sunk deeper and sinking will con- tinue until a minimum depth of 1,200 feet vertically is attained. Second Winze Started During the latter part of tne year, Mr. Metzgar said, .a second winze was started on the North Ore. Body and put down a distance of 200 feet. This development work with depth necessitates the in- stallation of additional eleotrical and mechanical equipment to carry the increased load. ‘Transformers, power cables, a 2,- 600 cubic-foot compressor, and new pipe iines have been purchased. This equipment will be delivered early this year. It will be in- stalled as soon as delivery is made. Crosscut Mount Juneau Brief reference was made to the exploratory program launched on optioned and newly acquired ground on Mt. Juneau last year. Early in the season, options to-purchase were obtained on the Dora and Hallum groups on Mt. Juneau and the development program, which, if satisfactory results are obtained, is expected to lead to construction of a second mill at Treadwell, was launched without delay. The work. during. the summer consisted of extensive surface trenching which covered a large area of the mountain with a net- work of open cuts that from a dis- tance resemble an irrigation sys- velopment tunnel at the 800-toot level above sea level The tunnel has peen advanced into the mountain wuntil its face at present is more than 1,000 feet from the portal. During the win- ter drifting and crosscutting, which has already been started, will be prosecuted from this point. —_— e LARGE AMOUNTS OF FISH HANDLED IN JONERU IN 1831 Total of 3,568,065 Pounds Involved in Cold Storage Business (Continuea from Page One) salted, and 235,805 pounds, all hali- but, shipped fresh.
