but much Of it held for emergencies is
now being sold, as 1t is regarded by the
operators as almost certain that break

places within the next ten days. The
reason given for this view is that there
is great restitution among the families
in the villages surrounding the mines.
The contributions from the public have
been devoted largely to the feeding Of
the men at the camps while the women
and children in the Isolated villages have
been neglected.
