The Party Of Ironwood Mlners Who vited II
Have Returned.
Last Tuesday morning Messrs. William
and Earnest knight and James Cowling
reached Ironwood from Johannesburg,
Africa. vim England after tour covering
thiriy-fve days FOR the return trip. The
gentlemen named left lronwood Aug. 10
last for the African gold mining district
reaching there via Southampton and
Cape Town Oct. 3, and iourneying by

interior.
These gentlemen report the prevalence
oi a climate in and about tho gold fields
SO severe that none but natives can
withstand It's effect but q short time, the
days being extremely hot with ,aorcury
indicating temperature 81 from l05 TO
40 in the shade, and at night, when the
icy log. which rs ever present between
sunset and sunrise, settles down, the
temperature approaches zero. As n
result much IN health prevails and all
foreigners are unweI nearly or all the
time. Ia evidence Of this. they mention
tho fact thut 123 bodies were entered in
n single cemetery within seven days.
Our informants state skilled mechan-
les, miners and wealthy people can make
money there. but no laboring man
need visit that country expecting TO
enrich himself as the labor Is performed
by uativc negroes who are treated very
much hike 40 many cattle, and are nn-
mcrons. At the Simmer and Jack mine,
where they were employed, there
were engaged i've hundred whites
and four thousand eight hundred ne.
groos.

who have been induced to visit that
country by the gnuzy tales Of fabulous
wealth easily to lac acquired arennxious.

To leave the country forever.

are similar 70 those long since adopted

AT a special meeting o: the township
board OF the township oI Crystal Falls
on Thursday evening. r. +. Hollow de-
clared the Office OF township clerk
vacant. Chas. ii. Watson wns present
at the meeting, acting in the capacity Of
Mr.. Huliivan'n deputy. The intent OF
Mr.. HolIow's declaration. left Watson
without power to act as member oi
the board, whereupon, Messrs. Hollow
and Rosau, The only members present,
named Mr.. D,,niel Riordan, upon Mr..
ns.oEas,'s molten, 90 NJ. Snlliyan's sue
ccssor There is no ground for tlisputing
the iact that the action OF Mcssrs. Hollow
and Rogan was not within the limit Of the
Law. No notice OF the meeting was
served in the form prescribed by law
upon the members OF the board, and
secondly, granting that the removal ol
Mr.. Sullivan was accomplished in a law
iul manner, the appointment OF his sue
cessor could not be made by two mcm-
bers, that number not constituting a
quorum Tor the transaction OF business.
These matters are not aired. however,
with desire TO discredit the appoint
meut OF Mr.. Riordan. whether or not
his appointment Is regular, SO lar M he
is personally concerned, he is not mt
iault. We believe he made no effort to
secure the appointment, and arc CON
vinccd that he would not insist upon
holding the office bad he thcremoteet idea
that such action was not in accordance
with the law and tho wishes OF those
in control OF the municipal affairs.
These facts are set forth simply and
solely TO inform those despicablc crca-
lures who. by the vilest and most mai
icious Misrepresentation, backed by
Ialsehoods as black as nieht--who, at
the sacrifice oI every semblnncc of man
hood and honor, induced Messrs. Hollow
and Rogan to proceed in this question
able way in order to vreak their
petty vcngeances, over the backs oil
Mcssrs. Hollow and Rogan, upon the
man who has oniciatcd ns MIR. Sullivan's
deputy y-that their work was lily con-
conceived, as only hclish brains can
conceive and that Mr.. sullivnn's deputy
would be holding the fort today, were It
not for the fact TINT the appointment oil
Mcssrs. Hollow and Rogan was one
worthy OF every commendation. They
have named nm old and respected citizen
of Crystal FalIs-a gentleman who has
spent the best years OF his life in this
township, and now, when declining years
are upon him, is worthy of every iavor
and helping hand that the citizens oi
Crystal Falls township can extend. ln
other words, Mr., Riorlan is an elderly
gentleman 10 whom the emoluments oil
office arc probably more acceptible than
would they be TO q man young IN years
and sound OF limb. THE DIAMoAD DRILL
congratulates Mr.. Riorlan and assures
the people ~ Crystal Falls that they VIII
never have cause to regret his in-
cumbeney TO the Office OF township clerk.

the feeling is general with funacen,en
that IL il better to wait than 10 make
contracts reaching into May on any such
basis az that fixed by recent speculative
sales. II is believed that purchases for
April and May delivery viii soon be
uade. but at present there is little
actual business. At New Castle one fur
mace has gone ia and another is prcpar-
ing 20 resume. Tie men have withdrawn
their demand for extra pay FOR Sunday
labor and the furnace nianngers take
them back as individuals. treating with
no committee and recognizing no union.
The market for foundry iron shows
somewhat more activity, and prices
vary with different furnaces. While one
maker has sold No. Scotch iron at
$3.50 in the valley, $l3 is minimum
with another. No. strong foundry has
sold for $l3 and triiIe less at the fur
mace. Foundrics do not find better
prices Tor their product. Some of them,
ia fact, with labor ten rer cent higher,
and coke from thirty to sixty per cent
higher, pig iron twenty per cent higher,
according TO the distance from the Con-
ncllsyile region. have even made lower
prices than were ruling at this time last
year, in the sharpness Of competition for
some kinds OF work. Forge iron Is $l1
at valley furnace. with very little made.

Superior charcoal with little inquiry.
