The fact that Graham Pope, of

was in the county this week lookiu q
up stamp mill site for the
Franklin Jr., mine. caused no little
commotion among the business men
on both sides of the bay.
The life of mill sites on the shores
of Portage Lake, owing to the
blocking of passageways by the ex
tensive accumulation of sand and
the insufficient supply of water. are
evidently limited, and the thought
full miner is looking for pastures
new such as the excellent harbor of
keweenaw Bay affords.
If consummated the proposed pro-
ject will mark a new and beneficial
era in the industrial affairs of this
county. and the residents will realize

indefinite period were it not for the
policy pursued by the active officials
of the d.. S. 5. & a. Railroad Co.
In the event of the erection OF the
colossal and coveted enterprise too
much praise cannot be bestowed on
these people for lessening the dis
tance by liberal offers to the copper
producers in transporting their
ores to rather remote, but desirable
reducing localities.
Now that the satisfactory adjust
ment of rail rates makes feasible and
practical the treatment of ores, and
the advantageous localities of the
bay are attracting the attention of
capitalists, speculation Is rile re-

Among the many available localities
that adorn the shores of L'Anse
bay for dozen or more miles, none
come nearer meeting the necessary
requirements than that adjacent to
the village of L'Anse on the south.
1t is equipped with all the natural
advantages of favored locality for
any line of modern manufacturing
enterprises. 1t seems especially
adapted for a stamp mill site. For
such purpose it is acknowledged
the ideal location. No objection

critical observer. 1t is questionable
if a single improvement could be
added were the site ordered by an
experienced millwright. Situated
near the rushing river whose source
of supply is sufficient for several

George Nj. Pullman, the Celc-
DRAFTED Palace Car Magnatc,
Died Tuesday Morning.
A FAMOUS EDITOR DEAD.
Charles A. Dana, the Veteran
Editor of the New York Sun,
Lays Down His Pen.

Chicago, Oct. 19.-George NJ. Pull
man, president of the Pullman Pal
ace Car company, died suddenly of
heart disease at 5 O'Clock this morn
ing in his magnificent brownstone
home, where he has resided for many
years. Mr., Pullman retired last
evening at his usual hour, which was
somewhat early. He was apparent
ly in his ordinary health, and there
was no indication of his demise, or
indeed any premonition even of i'll
ness. Mr.. Pullman was at his office
in the Pullman building up to 5
o o'clock yesterday afterooon, attend
ing to business. Nothing unusual
was noticed in his appearance. Mrs.
Pullman was not at home when her
husband passed away, she being
absent in New York.
AT the town of Pullman. where the
great shops that bear the dead mag
nate S name are situated, no word
had. been heard of his death till news
paper men began to inquire as to the
feeling of the town people on the
subject. The event had been so sud
den, and at such an hour that the
officials in the town had
heard nothing about the death of
their chief till after the toilers in the
huge car works and kindred estab-
lishments had begun their daily
,all unconscious of the tragic
occurrence at the brownstone palace
Il few miles further north on the
lake shore. Immediately, however,
were made to close the
big shops, and for the proper OBJ
scrvance Of Mr. Pullman S obsequies.
Mr.. Pullman S fortune is varously
estimated at from $50, 600 900 TO
$50, 600, 900:
New York, Oct. l8 8-Surrounded
by his family, Charles A. Dana,
editor Of the New York Sun, passed
away at his home in G len
Cove, L. lat | 20 Sunday afternoon.
His condition had been such for
several months that the members OF
his family had kept themselves in
readiness to go to his bed
side at any moment. On Saturday
morning he had IL relapse and it was
apparent that recovery was impos-
sible. Several times, however, he
rallied, but toward night began to
sink. During the night there were
feeble rallies, but they did not last
long. The extreme heat of Satur-
day and Sunday had much to do
with Fastening death. On Friday
Mr. Dana showed signs of distress
and everything possible was done to
relieve him without avail The
cause of Mr.. Dana s death was
cirrhosis of the liver. On June 9th he
was at his office apparently strong
and healthy. The next day he was
taken i'll and he never afterwards
visited New York.
The funeral was held at Dosoris, s
his late home, Wednesday.
