is now in better shape to go
ahead with its development work
than it has ever been before. The
crew of men heretofore employ

The main work to be done i'm
mediately is to sink another two
hundred feet below the present
level. After this is completed
the company will have a shaft
to a depth of ESQ feet, all in ex-
cellent coal. AT the same time a
crew of men will continue min
ing coal and the same will be dis
posed of locally. There is a ready
market for all the coal produced
and the buyers take possession
of it at the company's dock at
the mine.
An efforts will be made to dis

RASKOB STARTS
CAMP AICN FOR
N!zAT!ON
Connors to Receive Sub
scriptions to National
Fund, Smiths Book

James J. Connors. Democratic
National Committeeman, has re
ceived a letter from John j Ras
kob, Chairman of the Democratic
National Committee, in which the
latter announces that the Demo
cratic Party will begin immediate
~ upon an organization campaign
for the next Presidential election.
The first purpose, he says, is to
raise a campaign fund of about
S2,000,000, of which about $780,
600 will be needed to clear up the
present deficit. 1t is believed
that a considerable amount of the
money required will be realized
from the sale of the book of
speeches delivered by Gov. Alfred
E. Smith during the recent cam
paign.
Gov. Smith donated all interest
in the proceeds from the publica-
ton of the book containing his
speeches to the Democratic Ma
tional Committee. The book will
be sold for 50, and the National
Committee has announced that any
one subscribing 50 or more to the
National Committee will receive
a copy of the book.
Ready to Receive
Mr.. Connors says he is prepared
to receive subscriptions for the
National Committee, guaranteeing
delivery of Gov. Smiths speeches
to all who give So or more.
In his letter to Mr. Connors, Mr..
Raskob says.
There are many Democrats who
can afford to contribute 500, 9TH
ers. $50, many more $40 and S25,
and an indefinite number who can
easily contribute So to SO. The
purpose of this letter is to ask
you and every committeeman and
committeewoman to induce every
Democrat within your jurisdiction
to do his or her bit by contribut
ing to this fund. Through
one vigorous, united effort. we cal
quickly liquidate our indebtedness!
in truly Democratic fashion ant
place the National Committee il
position not only to establish per
manent offices and build up ;
stronger organization, but also Il
assist each State Committee il
building permanent organization
that will enable us to devote al
our energies TO securing contro
of the next Congress two year
hence at which time we can begil
to think about the National cleo
ton four years hence"
Mr.. Connors is urging all Demo
Gratis in Alaska to participate il
