MALCAMATED
NOW MORE
ACTIVE

Jerome Higgins, the new super
intendent of the Amalgamated, made
his first report to the company Off
Gals regarding the weeks progress
at the mine and, from his report,
the connection from the raise from
the bottom level of the Bath work
iugs should hole into the bottom of
the Earl shaft within the next "a
hours, chronicles the Manhattan
Nugget.
His report, in part, states the
raise from the 900 level of the Bath
shaft, which is being driven to con-
meet with the Earl shaft, has ad-
vanced during the week 31k feet
and is now up 101 " feet.
The past three days the ground
has been very hard and the pro-
gress necessarily slower than hereto
fore. Pipe for ventilation has been
installed and is in good working
order. In the Earl shaft seven sets
of timbers have been installed dur
ing the week and the shaft is now
timbered for a depth of 145 feet.
Two more sets of timbers will be
needed before the bad ground is
passed and then much faster prog
ress will be made. Grading for the
compressor is nearly completed.
Lumber for the compressor build
ing has arrived on the ground and
will be placed as soon as possible.
The compressor is ready to be in
stalled. Material for the new black
smith shop has been ordered. The
shaft is being wired for electrical
power.

GERMANY IS NOT
 GOING HUNGRY IS
 BERL|N'S REPORT
Story That Country Was Short of Food Is Denied From Capital of
 the Nation

Berlin, January 17.-(via Sayville.) )-Ger- many's food prospects at present are equal to those during the first two years of the war, says an Overseas News agency statement today, which reads;
 Tn reply to recent attempts to make out Germanys situation as critical or even dangerous the following figures are given on the best of authority:
 'The grain crops of the present year exceed those 3f the preceding year by 100000 tons, of which 1,500000 tons are bread corn. This fact proves that Ger many, for which last years crop was sufficient, will be able to get along even better with the crop of this year. This also is demonstrated by the extra allow ances made for youths and hard work ing persons.
 'As to the potato crop, which is con- siderably inferior on the average, the de- ficency will be covered for the most part by the excellent beet crop. At the same time the allowance for malting purposes has been decreased 50 per cent, which permits of the setting aside Of food for the population of such quanti- ties of barley that the shortage of pota- toes is more than offset.
 The stocks of horned cattle in Ger many have increased since the beginning of 1916 more than 100000 head, or 21 per cent; of hogs almost 100000, or 29.4 per cent. These figures indicate that Ger many is entitled to count with certainty on an increase in the supplies of milk and fats and this all the more as the D.rfa ,,,ta an increase in fodder supplies.
 The possibilities of provisioning Ger many are, therefore, nowise inferior to those of the first two years of the war"
