Shortages of labor exist in all| mines of the Willow Creek area.| ‘The Independence Mine, which had| 260 men employed a year ago, now, has only 40 working, Mr. Covich said. Other mines have suffered| losses of labor in proportion. Of particular interest to Mr,1 Covich was the farm colony az§ Palmer where crops were excellent | this year and the farmers are doing exceptionally well. The ex- cessive rain of September, which was said to be the rainiest for fif- teen years, did not injure the crops, most of which were har- vested before they could be dam- aged, he said. MRS.
