at Ketchi- kan Lake Driven
 163 Feet
Work of Increasing Ketchikan's Wa ter Supply Is Progressing Rapid ly.

Most mines in Alaska have been dug for gold; up at the Ketchikan Lake a shaft has been driven 163 feet for water. It has been blasted through solid rock and for all the world the entrance resembles the entrance to a mine. Before many months a heavy flow of water will rush through the shaft, fulfilling K6tchikan's needs as to light, power and water for a long time to come.
 Progress in the work of inCreas- ing the city's water supply is con- tinuing smoothly. About twenty-five men are working every day and three shifts are carrying on the work of tunneling. The are now about 13O feet from the lake end. The eXcavating has been carried on from only one end, though work of clearing the bottom for the lake side entrance of the hole was just started. The raising of the water in the lake due to the rain of yes terday halted the work.
 The lake has been very low, but the weather of yesterday raised fears that it might flood the lake over the dam and cause a post ponement of the work of tunneling but the fears. failed to materialize today. The tunnel opening is just below the falls and at such a low level that a freshet might cause an interruption due to water blocking the entrance.
