A happy party-.freshened up by stiff
morning breeze-started out from Wash

vatory visit to the Satterluud coal mines
on Beaverdam creek-four miles away
Photographer Deiraf accompanied the
party and took sun light views of the en-
trance. AS most Of the party was within
the radius of the uncovered camera, We
will leave the enigma of personality to
the developed plates to answer. The
mine is now IN splendid working shape
with a tramway leading into the mine
John Melin, with lighted torch attaohe d
to his cap was picking away at great rate
among the hardened chunks of glossy coal
prepatory to filling his car while dutiful
Buckskin was enjoying his rest in quiet
blinking. At the north end of the coal
mine hill Messrs. Fallgren & johnson have
opened up less pretentious mine. Mr..
Faligren said to the scribe: "Put it in
the paper that the road from my place to

Elm Pont people. The Satterlund mine
is now ready to supply consumers with

ways. There have been made, for example
masts in which the round was formed of
three pieces of timber. instead of a spindle
and slabs.
When the great modern American schoon-
er came out with its three and four and
sometimes more lofty masts-for some of
these vessels sticks eighty to ninety feet in
length were required-the demand for mast
timber was greatly increased. With the ex-
masts We're made for the big schooners;
masts were made not hoped, but. bolted
together, and such masts proved perfectly
serviceable
Most of the deep-water ships built now
adays however, have lower masts of iron.
The ships themselves are made of iron and
of steel, and their masts are made of the
same material. Iron masts are, of course
not indestructibe but they are longer-lived
than masts of wood.
There is now lying at a South-street pier

shipyard in which she was built her three
lower masts were of wood, built up. In
the course of time her foremost showed

taken out. She was at that time in the port
of New York, and there was found here
a handsome stick of Oregon pine. out of
which a foremost was made for her. Later
decay appeared in the mainmast She was
in a British port then. where it was cheaper
