THE COLUMBIA.

Work is being concentrated on snip
ing the stockpile that has accumulated
at this property for three years back.
The steam shovel was brought over over
from the Mansfield and put at work on
the Crerar- Clinch pile last week. This
pile mas stood years and there is thick
crust of frost along the north side OF
the pile the place where the shovel
is at work that seriously impedes the
progress of loading. Only about twenty
cars per day are being loaded but 1t Is
thought that this crust will be pene-
trated by the end of this week or the
middle of next and after that the
number of cars loaded will be doubled.
There Is some talk OF the Oliver
people putting another shovel at work
on its pile, making two steam shovels
at work on the property and IL they dc
80 the Columbia track will be kept mol
for couple OF months.
