interest. Photographers held up the
Chief Executive on the trail at various
points. and in rare good humor he pos

the mine owner and members of his
Cabinet. He never once paused for

ore car. watched two ore cars filled
by members OF his party descend at a

there by the pale light of candle,

drill greeted every ear. In walk
through a long dark tunnel, the Pres
