THE DALY ALASkA EMPIRE, FRIDAY, NOV. 24, 1939. NEW SLIDE SHUTS MILL ONCE AGAIN Tramming Tracks Are Re- covered-One Man to Hospital Another slide early this morning swept down the path of Monday afternoon’s minor avalanche which | suspended Alaska Juneau tramming operations for nearly 48 hours and once more buried tram tracks to again stop operations of the mill, possibly until sometime tomorrow. One miner, Steve Sopko, working on the just-rebuilt track, was in- jured by falling rock at 5 o'clock this morning and taken to St. Ann's Hospital, for the first injury of the current slide action. Sopko was knocked out and received a broken 2lbow. Assistant General Superintend- ent J, A. Williams was cut slightly on the forehead, it is reported, by | the flying end of a severed trolley wire, Williams passed off the injury this morning as “nothing,” and said tramming operations will be closed down all night, declining to esti- mate when work would resume again tomorrow. Williams said work will proceed more swiftly if the weather moder- | ated, but the mill will be shut down tonight. After the slide at 3:30 o'clock this | morning, dirt and rock continued | to slough, and City street crews are | having a difficult time of routing wa-l ;ter and mud through hastily drilled | | drains in sidewalk and street at the City Wharf. - eee —— FORTRESSES HOME BOUND ‘Amazing New 1940 PHILCO FARM RADIO Never Before Such Tone and Performance for 75 Battery Block §5.50 Extra PHILCO S0 CB ~ wet bet- New o Jded cabinet PHILCO 95T Self-contained Rat- tery Black.

The Interviewer has been instructed to take only a few moments of your time—thank you very much for helping us. Mausic Everywhere The fourth necessity of life is Music—food, shetler, clothing, then music. Times have changed—no longer is it necessary to spend long, tedious and wearisome hours of practice, and morey, running into hundreds of dollars, before you learn to play a musical instrument. Today everything is made to suit you—you learn to play tunes right frem the start so there are no discarded instruments around the house, no broken dreams, no being a wall-flower, no staying at home while others are having good times. Music is your answer.
