Iron Belt, Wis, Nov. 27.I[Special.]-
The shipping season has closed for the
being ''stock piled until the season of
90 opens. The past year has been one
Gogebic, the Iron Belt mine having
shipped 10000 tons to the Ashland
docks and the Atlantic $4,000 tons. The
latter consists only of one shaft and is
owned by the Rockefeller Mining conn
pany. 1t has produced and shipped more
ore this year than any single shaft on
the Gogebic range and its quality of ore
is unsurpassed. The coming year will
find mining firms very active and miners
will be paid better wages and will be
very much in demand. Workmen are
very much sought in this country, but
continue to be scarce owing to the large
numbers employed by the logging COM
panies. Carpenters are very much want
ed. as those employed by these mines are
required to work Sundays and evenings
in improvements and repairs. Miners
look for return of the busy times of
1888 and 1889 for the coming year.

BLACK RIVER VALLEY DRY.
Question of Water Supply Becoming a
Serious One.

Serious On0s
Black River Falls, Wis, Nov. 2S.--
Especial. Never in the history of Black
River valley has the water in the streams
in this locality been SO low at this sea-
son of the year. In the farming commu-
nifty to the west of this city many wells
are drying up which formerly showed
an abundance of water. The question
of water supply is becoming serious
consideration in many quarters.
To the east of the city jn the marsh
regions for many years were innumer-
able beautiful lakes, which afforded a
rendezvous for the deer during the warm
summer days, and in the fall myriads of
ducks and geese found feeding ground.
But today not a drop of water is to be
found in that locality. The transforma-
ton, however, in the marsh country will
prove beneficial to mankind. as the dry
ing-up process has made the land valua-
BILE for agricultural purposes and it is
being rapidly bought up for THAT purpose.
