After withdrawing the plua and open ing the valve, we held a safety iHmp twelve feet from, end In front of the hole, when we discovered an pxploelve mixture coming through from the Twin shaft workings.

The bore hole is nearly on Ihe same level as the bottom of the Twin shaft and Is marked on the map "It.

Aside from the tiuestiou of Kood money anil Ihe main tenance of our national honor, the ntU-r issue of lids campaign Is Ihe restoration of our protective policy. (A cry of "that's the stun.'') 1 think it is patriotic ami prolilable, for example lo use American coal rather than foreign coal. (Cries cf 'you are rigid.
