The problem is usr.Pickaxe=1, you shouldn't have a variable saying if you have a pickaxe or not, you should just search for one. if(locate(/obj/pickaxe) in usr) <-- There, that's checking if there's a pickaxe in usr's contents.

You desperately need to fix the HTML in your code.

<font face=Arial><font size = 1 font color = red>


First of all, you should never ever put spaces between an attribute (size) and the value (1). Likewise for the color attribute. Whoever started teaching people to do this needs to be slapped upside the head.

Second, you don't need to repeat "font" in the tag.

Third, you can combine these tags.

Fourth, you must always close your HTML tags.
