Since it has come to our attention, that some persons have been seen in dangerous proximity to the Alaska Juneau Mine work ings, we are taking this occasion to warn the public against near approach to the workings
 All the workings are on private property, quite some distance from any public road trespassers thereon are in danger from blast ing and from caving ground.
 Approaches to the workings have been posted with trespass notices but some notices may be covered with snow. Therefore, the public is warned, whether or not they see a notice, against going into the vicinity of the open pits or the extension thereof, particularly in the Icy Gulch area.
 It is hoped that this warning will be heed ed by all, thereby making any trespass pro- ceedings unnecessary.
