Two Diamond Drills Arrive.

Some time ago we made note of con-
tract that had been placed on record N
the office OF the register of deeds, where
in George Ripley agrees to build rail-
road from Grand Marais to the iron re-
gion in the northern part of the county.
The parties whom Mr.. Rupley represents
have also secured options on several
large tracts of land in the mineral region
OF this county and have determined to
ascertain the quantity, as we'll as quality,
OF ore to be found on these properties
before beginning the construc ton of a
railroad. With that end in view two
diamond drills we're shipped to Gunhint,
VIA Port Arthur, on the Dixon Wednes-
day. The party also had on board pair
OF horses which they will use to move
the drills from place to place.
1t is reported that by the terms of
their options the parties have agreed to
e1pend $4,000 in diamond drill work
this season.

Mr.. Rockefellers agents in Cleveland re-

enough to know that it was Mr.. Rookie

will be commenced at once. This is all
