Burger and the president % your COM

our understanding OF AR. Fisque's
explanation OF his estimate Is that he
accepted when Dee assumed charge o.
the miro the estimated tonnage In each
block or ground calculated on adjoining
levels. adding thereto ore developed

Mr.. Einch's eNpianation is equally un-
satisfactory. and both ~ their estimates
are entirely irreconcllahle with those
OF Mcssrs. Claiming and Burger.
From tho reports and from additional
Investigation. We believe the following
is accurate.
Quarter Million Tons.
