die operators were invaded At one OF

CHARTERS Mt 81 cents, and on n 8 cent

following statement. In the hlontour, and
possibly the Cliff, the mon did not come
on, but the Ggures given in connection will,
the Panhandle pits, coming from what
should be reliable source, would indicate
that the strike in ttat region was yielding.
