did, but Pablinco soon returned to the

An Editor Wthers Rhetorical Flowers viii
the Blast OF Cold Realism

An Editor Withers Rhetorical Flowers With
the Blast OF Cold Realism.
The editor OF the Iron Mountain Even.
ing Gazette is realist OF the first water.
He doesn't place bit oT confidence in
the flowery tales OF local summer resorts
devised by love-laden young men, who
part their hair in the middle. Listen to
his merciess explosion OF the "angelic
quietude" of Spread Eagle:
It ID said that life amid the silence and
repose OF Spread Eagle lake has n charm
that is out OF sight.
That the peaceful drone of nature with
its bees, mosquitoes, wide expanse OF
waters, hooks and lines, worms, and
breezes sweeping over the lake and the
heart like soft and tender hand over
harp strings, awakens the mind and il
discovers what God meant life and the
earth to be.
But its all lie.
Wegot our ill OF this awakening yes
terday.
We tasted the alleged purcst delights
oi existence by dropping right into the
midst OF this silence and repose.
We hadn't wallowed in 1t but a few
minutes when we would havegiven n dol
lar and a half TO he out OF it.
The breath OF blossoms were rank.
The bees had too much sense To stir
out.
The brcezes moved along at the rate of
sixty 10 seventy miles an hour, and the
white caps on the lake tumbled over
each other in an effort to swamp our
boat and lave the southern shore line.
The worms were not in il anywhere.
And the only discovery our awakened
mind made on this ill-omened occasion
was that the old fool is par excellence
the fool.
Through the window OF one oi
Chainey's buildings, erected on little
convulsion OF nature in the middle OF the
lake, we fed the fish about pound OF
raw beei and derived n faint glimmer OF
pleasure from knowing the hungry were
being fed. "Inasmuch as ye have done
it unto one OF the least ye have done IL
unto me-"
We are satisfied with Sundays lull in
the city.

iul to us hereafter.

ONLY GOLD WILL HELP.
Ferdinand sehlesingsr Advocates the Single
Standard OF Money.


Standard OF Money.
Ferdinand Schleslneer, whose rises and
declines as a mining king, with base OF
operations in the Lake Superior field,
have excited more newspaper comment
and general interest than have the
movements OF perhaps any other man
of business prominence in the great
northwest, spent Thursday in Crystal
Falls, in company with Mr.. Fred Wood
bury, his newly appointed general man
ager.
When seen by reporter for 1'HE DiA-
MoND DRILL. Mr.. Schcsingcr was in his
characteristic good humor and con-
yersed in his genial, unassuming way on
topics of local interest.
The ore market, he said. was very bad
at the present time. All things consid-
cred, perhaps it was never worse. Not
a pound OF the Dunn ore has yet been
sold. Shipments will, however, continue.
as that is deemed to be the only possible
way OF winning in the end, by taking adj
vantage OF low charters early in the
season.
MIR. Schlesinger can see no indication
FOR Improvement In the iron situation
later this season.
Asked II the nomination Of Mr.. Me-
Kjnley for president would not WELD
very .beneicent influence over general
business, Mr.. Schlesingcr replied that in
his opinion that would not be sufficient
To restore absolute confidence and con-
sequently business would not realize a
complete revival. IL would be mighty
stride in the right direction, but the busi-
ness interests OF the country have
reached "A point Of timiiity that an
absolute certainty alone can heal. An
other point Of vital import, in his
opinion. is the question OF currency.
Before we can hope for good bust
ness" he said. "we must offer assurance
TO foreign nations that we will not pay
them In silver"
"Then, you believe hard money
declaration Mt st. Louis is greatly
needed2"
"Indeed, and something more than n
declaration. The demand is for
reality"
Mr.. Schlesinger calls attention to the
iact that the United States is the only
nation in the world today that Is not
enjoying business prosperity and is con-
vinced that to the daily shrinkage of our
gold reserve and the additional liability
apcd upon this government during the
past four years, can this condition be
attributed.
MIR. Schlesinger's financial reverses OF
three years ago seem to have left no
trace upon him. He is the same quiet,
composed unassuming little man whom
the casual observer would never guess
had set three states in an uproar when
his gigantic business enterprises were
razed by the stress OF a financial panic.
His marvellous recuperativc abilities
have since manifested themselves, and
today he again stands at tho head OF
five iron ore mines in the Lake Superior
iield-the Dunn in this district and four
Bessemer properties on the Gogebic
range.
No man has contributed as largely to
the growth and development Of Crystal
Falls as has Ferdinand schesinger His
movements here have always been OF the
positive variety and none OF his revcrscs
have affected this district to the extent
OF one dollar. The Lake Superior iron
district has room for more Schlesingers.

The Progress Of the Big Ditch Is Some.
what SLOW.
The enormity Of the undertaking en-
volved in the diversion Of the channel OF
the Michigaunme river for the redemp-
ton OF the inundated levels OF the Mans
field mine can now be better appreciated
by the visitor to the scene of operations
by witnessing the slight impression
made, in comparison with the whole job,
after three weeks work has been devoted
To it.
In reality, however. the contractors
have no complaints TO make, as nothing
more serious than few "hard heads"
have been encountered. The subsoil is
clay, with an everything strata OF loose
gravel which offers little resistance TO the
scrapers. The mud difficulty has now
been almost entirely removed. The at-
tention OF the force is being directed to
the lower end OF the channel. Twenty
four teams were at work on Thursday
and reeniorcements were expected on the
day following. The right-oi-way Is near
ly all cleared. The contractors are ex-
pecting the arrival OF steam shovel
daily. The machine could now be used
TO great advantage. The work is being
done under the supervision OF j. s. Ken
nedy. Mr.. Lee, the chief engineer for
Campbell, Dennis & Company, visited

the Torch Applied.
The general store OF Henry IIoltein,
at Commonwealth, was pluudered
Wednesday night. After the robbery
had been committed, the robbers applied
the torch and the buildeg was burned
to the ground. The extent OF the booty
secured by the thieves is not known, but
the safe containing 500 in currency,
together with other valuables, was
cracked and it's valuable contents re-
moved.
The Commonwealth post Office was
located in the building and quite n
quantity OF government property WIS
destroyed. The exact loss cannot be
ascertained
A systematic search for the robbers
has been instituted but no arrests have
thusfar been reported. The interest OF
the United States government in the
matter will undoubtedly result in bring
ing the offenders to justice.
Three strangers are said to have been
lurking in the vicinity the day previous
to the robbery.

Bliss, Republican candidate for governor

expresses great confidence in the success
of Mr.. Bliss. The Pingree sentiment

and he is confident that the cooling off"
process will be more rapid as the time
for the convention grows nearer. Mr.
Gordon is satisfied with the conditions
present in this county, notably the en-
tire absence OF Pingree sentiment.
Judge Gordon has not yet decided to
become candidate for reelection TO the
legislature, although he may he induced
to listen to the requests OF many OF the
members Of the last House, who are en-
treating him TO return and again accept
the speakership. Several congressional
delegations i'm his district have already
been instructed for him, but the Judge
has not yet decided that he is candi-
date for member Of congress. Judge
Gordon is one OF Michigan's brightest
men and of him the Republicans OF this

II would appear from the April report
OF State Game Warden Osborn, says the

candidacy for congress in the Twelfth
Michigan district is in no wise interfering
with his work. The month OF April was
the largest in the history Of the game and
fish warden work Ia Michigan. There
were LAP violations reported out Of
the investigation Of which 105 arrests
were made, and all Of these arrests but
one, were for violation oI the fish laws.
The convictions number nincty-three,
with two discontinuances and two cases
not reported. This leaves but eight
cases ia which the verdict was not guilty,
and tho report OF the state warden
shows that three OF the defendants In
these cases we're caught Ia the act Of vio-
lation.
The work oi real economic Importance
In April consisted In the arrest and con-
viction of twenty commercial fishermen
and the seizure and cuniiscation al near
ly $4,000 worth oi commercial twine.
The fineH and costs collected in April
amount TO 81 .1O3.30. The reason that
the amount appears TO lie small IN cnm-
parison with the number of cases IL that
the courts evidently considered that the
scixnre and confiscntiOn of nets oI such
great value constituted sufficient punish
mcnt In itself, without imposing the
