are scores OF mon nj work In the mine
but improvements are being made
which will give the district much

The completion OF this road means
the establishment OF a smelter In the

companies have bonded together for
this purpose. The building OF the
smeltsr will necessarily include the
construction OF a big power plant.
With the smelter constructed. the
companies plan 10 double their force
