There il an encouraging phase to the
situation Mt the Dunn. 1t was stated
last week in these columns that the light
equipment had been shipped to Ncglunee
and that the heavy plant was soon TO
follow unless some compromise between
the purchasers OF the plant and the lee
owners OF the property should be effect
cd, or, unless the fec-owners should en-
Join such shipment on tho ground that
the heavy machinery was part OF the
realty. The work Of removing the heavy
machinery from its foundation was con
tinued until Thursday and the air com
prcssor had been loaded and shipped,
reaching Iron Mountain before tidings
came. On Thursday afternoon Supt.
Bennett received orders from his employ
crs, Corrigan, Mckinney & Company, TO
delay shipment and it is currently ro-
ported that orders hive been given for
the reshipment OF tho compressor from
Iron Mountain TO the Dunn location
The decision TO discontinue the shipment
OF the machinery, cmanating from ths
purchasers and without any legal action
having been taken Co Illustrate their plan,
certainly indicates that the apposinl
Torccs ARE at least negotiating n compro
mise. II is the opinion Of those most in
timately associated with the property
and the recent transactions that com
promise has been reached. While but 1
single straw is visible, the omen is al
agreeable one.

His Efforts in crystel Fails Result in Many
Conversions.
The work of Evangelist III. Corlner
was brought to a close ON Monday night
10y u rousing meeting in the First Metho-
dist church. The fruits Of this meeting
were probably greater thnnat any 81 the
preceding ones, owing. in part, 10 the
prominence oi many Of the converts. In
all. the number 81 converts won by the
evangelist, during his short stay here
will reach nearly ono hundred. One OF
the most interesting features Of Evnncc-
list Cor1ner's work IL his special meeting
for men only. This meeting wns held in
the Methodist church ON Sunday after
noon last. The church was comfortably
filled with men and the address was long
and effective. IL is possible that n lag
number Of men were attracted Co the
meeting out ~ idle curiosity, but there IA
little room for doubling the statement
that more than their curiosity WAS sat
isfcd before tho meeting was closed.
The talk treated ON all the vices to
which man is subject 10 the dctrimcnt oI
his soul, his body aud the morality ol
tho world. Each vice was taken up sep
aratcly and it~ several affects careful ,
portrayed. J he talk was brought 10 n

more men will be given employment as
soon as place can be provided for them.
The company has made no sales of ore
but believe they will bo able TO consum-
ate sale next fall. The cheapness
with which ore can he mined at this time
and the feeling that the market has
reached it's bottom encourages the
movement.
A gentleman from Ironwood informs
THE DIAMOND DsILL that conditions on

with the exceptions OF those in Hurley.
About 1000 men find employment about
Ironwood and the Colby and Tildcn

Nothing is being done at the Mastodon
