proved to be very popular among his
colleagues as well as the miners OF the
Jamison operations,
He has always taken an interest in
the affairs of the city and was promi-
nent in the campaigns during the world
war in all of which he has made many
friends. Mr.. Wolfe will reside in Phil
adelphia, where he was formerly locat-
ed. Prior to that he was located at
