CAVE-IN AND WATER
HALTS TUNNEL AT
THE JUALIN MINE
According to word received by I
L. Faulkner, attorney for the Alask
Berner's Bay Mining Company froi
Manager Jean Vanophem, now at th
Jualln mine operated by the compan;
a serious cave-in of the tunnel worl
Ings in one spot, together with th
tapping of a heavy flow of wate
has caused the temporary cessatio
of operations of the mine. Part a
the crew is laid off for the presen
and a part is standing by at th
mine until such time as a decisto
has been made as to the best pla
of handling the situation.
An engineer representing the He
gian Interests locally Is at the min
and the head office of the compan
has been notified of the happening
It la expected that activities will h
resumed soon. Manager Vanophei
is expected to come to Juneau tt
morrow.
The course of the big developmen
and drainage tunnel was change
somewhat when work was resume
on the big prospect last Sprint
which resulted In striking the geo!<
gleal fault which now presents sue
difficulty to operations It tnav li
necessary to abandon the working
so recently made, back up on tli
present line of work and start ovt
attain. In order to establish tli
right course to pursue and to dete
mine how best to avoid the geolog
cal fault it will probably be neee
sary to have some diamond dri
prospecting done.

TOM MILITARY EXPERT BARES
i SECRETS OF RUSSIAN RED ARMY
LONDON, June 1!.. — i Associated
Press.)—Much of the mystery and
speculation which have existed con
cerning the strength of the Soviet
Red Army is said Here to have been
cleared up by a military correspond
ent of the London Daily Mail who
has just returned from Moscow. He
says that nt the beginning of 1923
the strength of the army had fallen
from 950,000 to 500,000. At the pres
ent time there are 280,000 men in tilt
infantry, 60,000 In the cavalry. "O.OOt
' in the technical units, and 30,000 tr
the navy. The Cheka's frontier units
Contain 50,000 men, and its interna!
units 60.000.
The army has 2,000,000 rifles, 14,
500 machine guns, 5,700 light mu
chine guns, 3,000 cannon, more that
3,000,000 shells, and 1,000,000,000 mu
nltlons. The war establishment of t
division consists of 15,00 men am
! 6,500 horses, comprising three infan
try regiments, three squads of cav
ally, three batteries of ficdil artiiery
jlhrep howitzer batteries, and the tisu
i al contingents of sappers, engineers
munitions columns, etc.
There are' 23 airplane factories, but
only five are now working. The
aviation department, which Is in I lie
hands of a committee of three, with
Trotsky at the head, expects, to have
10,000 airplanes in 1921, with corres
landing personnel.
The correspondent adds that the
Bolsheviks also have received many
shipments of airplanes from Italy,
England and Germany.
Realizing the necessity of produt
ing officers from the working classes,
the Bolsheviks have established many
military schools. They are more num
crus and better equipped, the Dally
Mail expert says, than similar schools
In the United States and England.
The schools embrace special classes
in general staff work, engineering,
Infantry, cavalry and signals.
