The writer had the pleasure oi the
company OF Supt. Il. +. Cole from Ne
gaunee 10 Stagcr last week. Besides the

Kaukana Mr.. Cole has risen To his
present exalted station by dint of hard
and energetic work. There is no tagging
about Mr.. Cole and none about the

SUCCESS OF that property. Crystal Falls
has much TO thank Mr.. Colo for. More
perhaps thnn the majority OF people ARE
aware OF. He was untring ia his cITlrts
for the acquisition Of the Corfignn, Me
Kinney group of mines, and even had
the good times not arrived this year,
these mines would Eave been worked.

long season with unusually favorable
weather the claim is made 10y those in
position TO know something about il

money on last seasons contracts. The
reason given is that the pine left in this
part OF the country is smaller and
harder To get out than that which used
to be logged. Added To this the great
storm which came ON about the middle
oi March, when they were already pre-
pairing to break up and had but little
work ahead, entailcd biz expense ON
them for the road making and ate quite
ii hole in their seasons profits il they
had any. Marinette Star.
