BLOCKS MINE1
The New England mine being oper
ated by the Alaska Iron company at
Rainy Hollow, is temporarily shut
down on account of a snow slide
which fell over the mouth of the tuu
nel last week. When the slide came
down the mountain the men were at
work In the mine and found their
egress blocked by hundreds of tons
of snow. They were compelled to
dig their way out through the snow.
This they did. They are now em
ployed In removing the snow from
the entrance and making the opera
lion of the mine safe under the clr- j
cumstances. Work cannot be re
sumed within the mine until after |
New Years.
