.DRAG[|NE FORCE
 AGAIN AT WORK
Big Excavato- Will Begin Operations In Gravel Pit Not Far
 From Town.

The entire crew of camp 22, with all of the camp cars and equipment and the Bucyrus dragline excavator, which was brought into town on Saturday night have again been sent out to resume operations on a new location selected by the Commission officials nearer town.
 The new location is about a mile and half out of town and near the powder magazine. The dragline excavator was sent out yesterday with Walter Hollerbach and his crew to prepare the site and complete arrangements for switch and siding to accommodate the gravel cars.
 The camp cars and crew went out this morning and it is expected that the cars will be placed in position on the opposite side of the track from where the dragline will work.
