met, are spending few days here rusti-
eating and incidentally gathering their
share OF our delicious wild rawberries
which, by the way, while not quite so
plentiful as they were last year, are an
abundant crop, hundreds OF quarts hav-
ing been gathered here.
Hizzoner Trudell, OF Phoenix. was to
assume the most pleasing expression at
his command last Monday morning while
he pronounced the words which would
unite one OF our prominent bachelors in
bonds OF wedlock to a Pennsylvania lady.
Tue Judge and groom were ready, but
the shy and blushing maiden failed TO
materialize in fact, she had decamped,
and with some cash. The wedding Is IN
definitely postponed. and Joehas laid the
nile away to be used at the next we'd
ding he will be called upon TO ofiiciate at.
Charles A. Hanscom. of lronwood, for
merly of this county, is in the district re-
newing his acquaintance. He is now
representing the Iowa life insurance CON-
pany as general agent and, we are pleased
to note, is doing good business.
The scribe is pleased TO note that work
has been resumed at the Fulton property.
for of men having been started this
week under the direction OF Captain John
PolgIaze. The work for the present will
be confined to Section ~ L 81 r 81, or
rather the southwest quarter OF the sec
ton mentioned. The intention OF the
MANAGEMENT is to thoroughly explore
the property and develop anything OF
value they may encounter. This will be
pleasing news TO Keweenawites in gener-
al, as it is felt by great many that the
rehabilitation of Keweenaw county will
come through the opening up OF the
Kearsarge amygdaloid, that being what
they are now working on at the Fulton.
The belt, we understand. is looking ex-
tremely healthy where it has been opened
in the pits put down last season. The
signal success Mr.. Smith, the agent, met
with in developing good mine on the
Wolverine property makes Keweenawites
quite confident OF the successful outcome
OF the present operations.
James Nankeryis, OF Calumet, visited
the Arnold mine on Sunday. Like every
one else who visits the property and sees
what rock is coming out at present, he
left feeling enthusiastic over the future OF
the mine. An idea OF the richness OF the
ashbed may be gained by the remark OF
prominent mining man of Houghton
county, who visited the mine last week;
one who, as miner, worked in the old
Phoenix ashbed, heretofore the richest
showing on that lode. He said that it
was the richest showing he had ever be-
fore seen in the lode referred to, and in
fact he doubted that the rich rock came
from the ashbed, as he thought it pos
sessed more OF the characteristics OF a fis-
sure vein. A new shaft, several hundred
feet west OF the present one, will probably
be sunk in short time.
The Phoenix Central road race was held
on Saturday last and proved to be a
hummer. There were six riders, as stated
in Fridays News, and they made as
pretty race as could be had. They got
away at 500 o'clock, all working like
machinery, and seventeen minutes later
made the turn at the Central with Youell
in the lead, trailed by Sibilsky and Sleigh
man, the other three, Harris, Maata and
Phillips, following in less than ten sec
onds. Shortly after, Seighman, in en-
dsavoring to take the lead, collided with
another rider and stopped a moment or
two to cogitate upon thefrailty OF human
hopes in cycle races. Harris and Maata
seemed to want to occupy the same spot
at the same time; they did 80, but had to
leave their bicycles to think it over, and,
as poor time isusually made when sitting
on the roadside wondering how it hap
pened. both riders came in too late to &C.
cure any pecuniary consolation. Sibilsky
and Youell rode evenly until the last few
hundred feet, when the latter, by mag.
niicent burst OF speed, landed himself
winner by a few feet; SibiIsky second and
Seighman third. Had not so many
riders been thrown, the race would have
been more exciting.
Circuit court is to be held on Thursday,
but very little business is to be transact
ed this term.
G. Arthur Sydney, OF San Francisco,
California, was visitor here this week.
