Eyeleth Mines.

No great amount of men are at
present employed at the Adams mine,
several being let out Of work the past
couple of weeks. Almost all the
married men with families retain
their positions and are in this way
cared for by the operators of this
mine. A greater resumption is looked
for when the political cloud passes
over and away. but it must be adj
mitted that the iron market is by no
means bright The stripping at this
mine is still continued by John
Gulbranson, who employs at present
some eighty men. A trip over
the Cloquet mine the early part Of
the week showed great signs of i'm
provement. A shaft is being sunk
some 500 feet east of the old the hoist
ing plant and directly south is being
located the new engine house. Tim
bers for the shaft house are now upon
the ground. They are wonderfully
massive and of the clearest and best
class of timber. A good deal of clean
ing up around the mine is in progress
and by next spring the Cloquet viii
be in readiness to operate as efficiently
as any mines upon this range. Mr..
Joseph Sellwood takes a run up sew
eral times each week from Duluth to
supervise things. His son Richard
and Capt. John Edwards. who by the
way is considered one of the best
mining men on both ranges, have the
property in charge. The stockpile at
this mine owned by the Vega Iron Co.
is rapidly being shipped and in the
course of a few weeks will all be
cleaned up.-Eveleth Star.
