Mr.. Pierce of the johnson Nickel Min
ming Co., was a passenger on the Dixon
Sunday night. He was bound for Gun
flint, via Port Arthur, but on account Of
the rough weather on the lake he stop
ped off here and returned to Lutsen on
the Dixon Tuesday to inspect the COM
pany's work in that vicinity. .
Last spring the editor Of this paper
received from Jas. Vick's Sons of Roches-
ter. N. f., on pound Of new variety Of
potatoes known as the New White
Beauty. They were planted in the lot
adjoining this Office and with less than
ordinary care yielded little over one
hundred pounds. We venture. to say
that on good soil, with good care, the
yield would have been one third larger.
The johnson Nickel Mining Co.
brought down another diamond drill
last week to be- used on the company's
property north Of Lutsen. The boiler to
be used in connection with the drill was
brought down Sunday but was not I'M
loaded at Lutsen until the Dixon re-
turn from Port Arthur Tuesday. It is
quite evident that the operations of the
company have produced desirable results
otherwise they would not be shipping in
more machinery and be making prepar-
ations to continue the work all winter.
Operations at Fl. q. Bartlett's logging
camp az Good Harbor bay are somewhat
retarded by Mr.. Bartletvs inability to
secure the necessary number of men to
carry on the work to advantage. He
preferred to give employment to Cook
county men but says that it will be
necessary for him to go to Duluth to
secure men as he cannot get the necessary
nunber here. He needs ten men in adj
dition to those he now has. at work
Mr.. Bartlett has provided "a very
pleasant and comfortable lot Of camps,
!. and has fortified himself against one OF
the usual sources Of complaint in a log
cling camp by employing Mi. and Mrs.
Andrew Larson in the, cook camp.
Everything about the camp is neat and
convenient, even to the promenade,
which ii Wall lighted at night. Mr..
BARTLETT owns 800 acres Of land IN The
tract on which he is operating, and ID.
tends to take out all the spruce and
cedar as well as the pine. 81.
