twenty claims, and on all OF them,
considerable development work has
been done.
Mr.. Mack states that in the spring
an effort will be made to have a
wagon road built from the mines
down the Rapid River to Pollock, a
distance of sixt miles There is
about four miles of road on which the
grade work would be quite heavy, the
remainder would follow the water
grade. This road could be used all
the year, as it would be in a low
altitude where the snowfall is light
This road would connect the Ford
Macy and Rankin properties with
Pollock.
A town has been started at the
mill which has been named Rand, a
saloon and barber shop are already
on the ground, and doing business,
and several other enterprises will be
started shortly. 1t is the intention
of the residents to apply for a post
office, aud mail line from Pollock to
the camp The Rankin Mining &
Milling company are investing con-
siderable money in the Black Lake
district, and it is hoped by all that
they will meet with success in their
venture.

Philadelphia, Jan. 10. James
Smith, inside foreman for three Of the
collieries of the Elk Hill Coal and
Iron company, who was on the witness
stand before the anthracite coal strike
commission Friday, resumed the tell
ing of his story of the conditions

drawn up as a result of a mass meet
ing called by certain business men.
President Fahy, District Beard Mem
her Ginley and National Board Mem

soldiers continued to escort non union
men there would be bloodshed. He adj
mitted that the non-union men need
ed protection.

Der were present.

pany then called John Won Bergen,
