Every institution ia the city of the

capacity, and it needs no argument TO
convince you that such a step has now
become necessary.
As TO its practicabiliy, it is pretty
well esta blished fact that the sums
regularly paid out by the county for
the accommodation Of public charges
would pay the interest on the capital

institution would receive large gen.

believe, become self supporting.

Iron Mining in a Lake Bottom.

1 A few years ago Lake -Angeline was
a prominent pleasure resort for the
people of Ishpeming, Mich. The
Cleveland Iron Mining company was
The first to make practical tests TO
determine whether or not there was
iron ore beneath the lake by boring
with a diamond drill a number Of
holes in the bottom To permit min
ing about soc 0e0, 900 gallons Of water
was pumped out. With the removal
of the water il was found that there
yet remained heavy deposit Of mud,
this being Of the consistency Of cream
and Offering serious menace to the
mining OF the ore that lay underneath.
Making the condition particularly
serious, the ore came I'D to the sur
face and in many places, there being
no rock Gaping TO keep ii out in case
the mining OF ore was undertaken
close to the sand. 1t could not be
pumped out for the reason that there
was no place TO deposit it, and then
there was a tremendous body of it, it
possessing a thickness in the lower
places or the lake depression of about
10 feet
To reach the ore beneath the lake,
the company sunk shaft in the
foot on the north shore of the lake. at
which point the rock rises abruptly
from the old shore to a height of
several hundred feet This shaft
follows the Meditation of the foot and
has been carried down TO the third
level. 1t is a substantial one. SKIS
feet inside, possessing four compart-
ments and is finely equipped.
The first level is 80 feet vertically
from the original level of the water
in the lake No mining of ore has
been done here excepting what has
come from the driving Of drifts
necessary to the testing Of the ore
deposit, and TO prepare the way for
mining when the latter was inaugur-
ated. The danger from the mud
overhead is what prevented active
operations on this level. The work
of opening up the ground has been
expensive. as much has been done
during the several years that have
elapsed since the level was first start
ed. They hare piIt in tracks for the
electric motors connected the rooms
with drifts. and have expended a
| large amount of labor and money.
About rs rooms have been opened
and the deposit of ore has been fol-
owed on its trend for distance Of
2.760 feet. They have drifted in the
ore TO the line of the Lake Superior
Iron company's property on the west,
and where they reach the line the ore
has d thickness of about 80 feet.
This gives an idea of the size of this
ore body. In point Of quality it is
not always of as high grade as the
company would like There are some
rooms showing Bessemer, but they
are not as frequent as they would
wish to have them The ore works
finely in furnace, however, and is
near enough TO the Bessemer line 50

other ores with lower PHOSPHORUS
