Representatives Smith and Fullerspent
a couple OF days here last week enjoying
the balmy air and serene beauty OF this
sequestered village.
In a conversation which the scribe had
with a gentleman lately from Butte,
Mont, the talk turned on the future OF
the Boston Il Nor ana mine. The per-
son referred to said it was his opinion
that the stock would sell at 5000 per
share on it's merits by next fall. His
opinion, is based on the past production
OF the NINE togetl er with preparations
for an increased output which are EVIL
dent to any observer, they having dur
ing the last year added to their electro
Iytic plant so that they can turn out
$500, 600 OF copper per month; more
than formerly. The shafts have had
double skip tracks put in and power
drills have taken the place OF the old
fashioned hand drills. The improve
ments noted will enable the company to
double their output.
More bunting will be futtering in the
breeze on Monday next than was ever
seen here on any former Fourth OF July
as the Blight Sons fuse company and
Commodore Benefits have each erected
a flag pole over which Old GLORY will
proudly waive.
Aprovision in the new tax law directs
a purchaser of tax lands to notify the
sheriff TO serve notice on the last owner
of records that the purchaser Intends to
apply for deed of land; the record owner
then has six months in which to redeem,
but in order to do so be must pay the
purchaser his money back with 100 per
cent additional and all cnsts incurred
This is pretty good return for money
invested and we venture the prediction
that there will be heavy Investments in
Kewenaw tax lands at the next annual
| tax sales.
Eagle Harbor, Central mine and this
burg will each celebrate the anniversary
OF our independence by having the regu
lation picnic aud sports for the young
