American Singer
Triumps in Stockholm

STOCKHOLM.-(B Wireless)-
Miss Christine Lindberg, Ameri-
can singer of Swedish extraction,
r N ly made her debut at
the Royal Opera in Stockholm as
"Amneris" in the opera Aida.
Warmly received by press and
public, she scored a unique arts
tic triumph. Miss Lindberg has
never before appeared on an OPP
cratic stage, but was engaged on
the recommendation of Fr q
Busch, Metropolitan Opera orch
estra conductor, who used to live
in Sweden before the war. This
artist is only twenty-one years
old.
She was born in Texas of Swe-
dish parents, and studied singing
with Nine. Karin Branzell, cele-
brated Swedish contralto, who for
many years was a member of the
Metropolitan Opera Company. 1t
was Nine. Branzell w h called
Mr. Busch's attention to Miss
Lindberg and thanks to his help
six month contract was signed,
despite the fact that the directors
of the Stockholm Opera had never
seen or heard the young singer
probably the only engagement oil
its kind on record.

Coal
Mines Producing

OSLO-NorWegian coal mines
on the arctic island of Spitszber-
gen, all but destroyed during the
war, are expected to produce $780,
900 metric tons of coal this year,
according to recent estimates.
Above-ground installations at the
Svea mines have now been rebuilt
while repairs have been progress
ing steadily at the Kings Bay site.
Storage and loading facilities at
Longyear City have been repaired
as have power plants, warehouses,
and barracks.
The new Longyear City is in
reality three different establish
ments, built in three different
parts of the valley. A modern hos
pital there, complete with X-ray,
a fully equipped operating room,
and all modern facilities, was COM
pleted late this summer and is
capable of serving a maximum of
5000 workers. At the present
time, 900 miners are expected to
winter at Longyear City and 270
at the Svea Mines.
Kings Bay mines will probably
be manned by a crew of from $50
to 300 men during the coming
season. Next season, it is hoped
that the Longyear City and Svea
Mines will be able to produce 70O,-
900 tons, with the Kings Bay
works turning out from 15O, 900 to
100000 tons.
