seeking information as to the

Pat Heany is in town from
the Old Glory properly and re
ports fine progress being made
in the development of the
group. Incidently Pat believes
his crew has established a
world record in distance driven
in one month with one machine.
In thirty days recently, 400 feet
! of a tunnel eight by eight feet
; was drilled with one power
drill, an Ingersoll-Rand. The
crew on the Perseverance tun
nel at Juneau has been doing
things in the drilling line hav
ing broken out over 000 feet in
on month in the big tunnel
there, but they were working
four drills. The power plant
for the Old Glory is working
like a charm, delivering air at
the mine over six thousand feet
away at a constant pressure of
125 pound and has never been
out of commission a moment
since it was installed. The
whole plant speaks volumes for
those installing it.

George M. Chesney, for the
past nine and one-half years
chief electrician for the Citizens
Light, l ower <x ‘Water Com
panyof this city has decided to
sever his connections with the
company and go into business
on his own account. Shortly
after the first of the month he
will put in a complete slock of
electric supplies, and conduct
a general electric wiring and re
pair business. Mr. Chesney in
addition to this will contract
for th ? nstallation of eieelric
plants, and do any olhei work
pertaining to electricity. He is
thoroughly familiar with every
phase of the business, i- a
rapid capable workman and
will undoubtedly be able to
build up a .good business in
Ketchikan and vicinity. 11 is
stock will he complete in every
respect, an especial effort be
ing made to take care of (lie
gasboat business, llis location
will be announced later.
