SOME OLD COPPER MINES.
LOCATED IN THE UPPER PENN
SULA.
To b. Developed by Electric Power From
Glen Fails, Ontonagon County-a I;ig
Project in whch Detroiters are In
terestcd.

a number of Detroiiers, headed by
Capt w. Ii. Stevens, are Interested in
project to utilize Glen Falls, Onto
nagon county, in developing electric
power with which to operate a number
of abandoned copper mines in that
neIghborhooi. All the range OF mines
between Rockland nnd Houghton were
among the richest OF their day, but
some years ago the falling price OF COP
per on account of the big output from
such mines as the Calumet and Hecla,
aud lack OF railroad facilities, caused
them TO close down. During the past
three or four years the Chicago, Mil
waukee d st. Paul has run line
through from Sidnaw TO Ontonagon,
facilities. Accommodations and rates
are not all that could be desired, but in
the near future it is expected that a
road will be built along the range to
Hous hton, affordlng good facilities and
low rates.
Capt Stevens and some other Detroit
crs own some rich mineral lands in
Ontonagon county. Other lands adJoin-
ing are owned by number of Boston
capitalists, headed by J. Winthrop
Coffin, aud New York parties are also
heavily interested in that neigh borhood.
The plan is To form syndicate for ST.

Ontonagon river, about IA miles above
the village or Ontonagou. w. II. Ash
welt. Detroit civil engineer and mining
expert, was employed TO make a survey,
aud he reported 4,377 horse power avail
able in the present existing fall which
could De developed in several different
ways. The power would be sufficient to
work the Victoria, Shogo and quite q
group of abandoned mines. A stamp
mill can be located at the mines aud
power brought half dozen miles from
Glen Falls. An electric road three or
four miles long can also be operated, con

state Normal school.

We are glad TO know that q bill has
been introduced IN the legislature pro-
viding for normal school In the upper
peninsula. There can be no doubt that
such an institution IL needed in this
part OF the state. If We consider the
large number of teachers employed in
thepublic schools aud the necessity for
special training to lt them for their
work we shall conclude that one normal
school cannot supply professional teach
ecs enough for the great State OF Mchl-
gan Then large number OF teachers
must be drawn from other states or from
the ranks OF those who have received no
professional training. We are glad to
welcome good teachers among our ranks,
no matter from what state they come,
but we think that teachers should be
fitted for their work before entering
upon 1t, aud nowhere can they be fitted
for this work as well as IL the normal
school, and II another Is 10 be established
il certainly should be IN the upper penin-
sula. Ono such school centrally located
in upper Michigan would draw students
enough from this part Of the state to
maintain it and not lessen the number
who are in attendance at Ypsilanti. This
measure oasht not to be opposed by our
friends ~ lower Michigan for it viii not
weaken the Influence OF the normal
school already established there, and
the people Of th, part of the state
should do all they eau to secure the
passage OF the b!l now pending in the
legislature. Petitions are being circu-
lated asking that the bll be passed.
Let all sign these petition and let the
voice of the upper peninsula be heard in
Lansing. Let us have the normal
school.

II Would se a Fatal Move.

The following circular. signed by A. j.
Scott. supervisor Of lIoughton county.
is being sent to officials in the various
towns OF the upper peninsula:
"A legislative bill was prepared here
Monday upon resolution Of u majority OF
the board Of supervisors Of ilougbton
county, and forwarded TO one of the
representatives In Lansing from this
county, requiring the treasurers of the
several counties of the upper peninsula
TO pay but one-half of the moneys re-
ceived for liquor tax to the town
ship, city or village from which it was
received. and to pay the other half into
the general fund of the county.
AS the passage OF such an act would
largely reduce the revenue of the several
cities and villages of the U. p. and in
will be IN order for al! interested to take
such steps as they think proper to pre-
vent the passage Of the BILL"
l. is certainly true that the bill. If
passed, would work great injury to every
village aud city in the upper peninsula.
and in some towns would be the means
Of total destruction. What would be the
result with towns which are in debt, and
at best have all they can shoulder, to be
dc. rived of one half of the money re-
celved for liquor tax? Argument is
IN, In II top
county are willing to submit they have
that privilege. but i is certain that all
Others will vigorously protest tie move

1t Is very deslrous that clause be
embodied In the game law bill, now
before the legislature, regarding the
protection of beaver, by prohibiting
killing for the next three to FIVE years.
These animals are now nearly extinct,
and 1t is apparently necessary that some
action be taken. After the expiration
OF the time stated 1t is also deemed
advisable to prohibit killing during
the months of February, March and
April OF each year.

tender. The old saint himself could
hardly have been more ardent aud low

sula, no two of whom shall be from the
same county, who shall be u board OF
