Elders have been called, not from col

OF life, and sent forth into the world TO
preach the Gospel without money and
without price. Now for many years
they have gone forth and preached this
Gospel. Men have listened to them,
and some spirit or power has convinced
them that the testimony which these
Elders have borne was true. These
humble men Of God have gone forth
and said "Thc iulncss Of the ever.

Miners as a rule are an improvident
class. They never prepare for the

freely. as do most people whose lot is

aid were promptly answered and car
loads of supplies have been hurried to
relieve the most pressing needs of the
helpless army OF unemployed.
The first appeal for aid came from
a small gathering of men at Hurley.
They wrote a polite but firm note to
Gov. Peck and told him they were
forced to be idle, had had no work to
speak of for six months, winter was ct
hand and their families were starving.
Gov. Peck hastily made an investiga-
ton and satisfied himself that the de-
mand was just and reasonable and set
out at once to furnish them food and
& was quickly responded to and cart
loads of supplies were started north
within n few days. Gov. Peck visited
the sufferers with his military staff
and personally directed the distribu-
ton of the first special train of sup
plies. The governor visited scores Of
the unfortunate people and assured
them that everything in his power
would be done to help them through
the winter.
Gov. Rich. Of Michigan. followed the
example set by Gov. Peck and called a
meeting of the mayors of leading Michi-
gan cities and secured funds with which
supplies were procured and sent to the
destitute families in the Michigan
towns. Generous people all over the
west have since sent money and sup
plies to the two governors aid. The
most of the people have been provided
with enough supplies to last them sew
eral weeks. But 10000 people make
quite an army, and the most of them
will have to be fed and clothed until
next April or May. They will require
a vast amount of food and clothing to
see them through, and the supplies
collected at state headquarters will be
forwarded once a week or oftener.

at many places it is seven or eight feet

myself in snovdrifts up to my er1n-

state of affairs is over for the time

houses Of the stricken people who arc
unable to come for them. X
The explana ton of the existing con-
Slition Of affairs is simple. The recent
panic paralyzed the iron industry.
One. after another of the great iron
mines shut down and men were
thrown out of employment until all of
the great mines ON the range were
closed and an army of 5000 men was
added to the unemployed. With the
exception of a few men here and there
at work on the ore piles, or checking
the flow of water In the subterranean
passages all OF the great mines of the
range have been idle since early last
it is only necessary to state that these
idle mines shipped ten million tons Of
ore to the iron markets last year!
There is picturesque background
to this setting of abject poverty and
human misery. Contrast the con-
four years ago. Thsn the eyes of the
civilized world were turned on this Sec
ton of country that had suddenly be-
come q great commercial and indus
trial center. The prirneval forest gave
way to busting towns and great and
important mining settlements as the
morning mists before the MONDAY sun.
In the course of a year after the dis
covery of the original Colby and other
of the famous mines, the pine forests
had disappeared and towns of great
Importance had sprung up. The Colby
mine is now known as the Norrie, the
greatest iron producing and shipping
mine in the world, q proud distinction
indeed. Fortunes were made in a day
and millionaires were as thick as sand
flies. Thousands of men found en-
ployment in building the towns, in de-
veloping and working the mines and in
sweeping away the forests. It was an
era without parallel in the develop
ment of the country. Carpenters and

wages, miners were we'll paid, and in
few months time thousands of men had
been attracted to the new Eldorado.
Times We're prosperous. money plenty,
spectators reckless and great things
were planned. The inevitable hap
iron fields were opened.
the price of iron declined, the mine
owners combined to reduce high pres
sure expenses, the spectators failed,
the mushroom iron kings collapsed
and business men came in to take their
places. The palmy days were over.
Things ram. along in this way until
last summer, when the panic came and
the very bottom Fall out of the Gogcbio
boom. This in brief is the rise and
fall of the iron community, and ex-
