On the Cogebic

A deal for the transfer of the
Aurora mine, located in the
Seventh ward of this city, to the
Oliver Mining company, has
been practically closed. The
Oliver company has an option on
the stock and plant of the Auro
ra Iron Mining company, and if
satisfactory arrangements can
be made with the owners of the
fee for an extension OF the lease,
the transaction will be closed up
within few days. w. j. Olcott,
general superintendent Of the
Aurora, who was in Ironwood
on Wednesday, confirmed the
report that an option had been
given TO the Oliver people, and
expressed the opinion that the
sale was an assured fact. Gen.
Supt. Cole, of the Oliver com
pany. when seen yesterday after
noon, said that the deal would
probably be consummated. The
Aurora mine is one OF the pioneer
producers of the Gogebic range.

TO CHANGE THE SYSTEM.
Copper Country Mine Managers
get some Ideas from Iron Men,


Copper Country Mine Managers
get some Ideas from Iron Men.
Capt. Wilcox, Of the Arcadian
copper mine near Houghton, is
reported to have devised a new
method Of winning the copper
rock at his mine, and reports say
that his system will soon be
adopted by the major portion of
the copper miners in the Lake
Superior district This new
method is none other than the
milling process so familiar to all
iron miners and which is beauti
fully illustrated in the working
of the Crystal Falls mine near
this city.
This move on the part Of the
copper miners is significant.
There was a time when the cop
per miners considered them
selves the alpha and omaga of
mining. They knew it all and
the owners of iron mines went
to the copper country for their
mining men. But conditions are
changed now and the copper
men are coming TO the iron
country for their up.to.date
miners. As an evidence Of this
fact we may point TO the elec
ton of Supt. Thos. f. Cole to
the managing dictatorship Of
the Mass mines and the subse.
quent engagement Of a number
Of mining captains from the iron
country for the new mines in the
copper district.
The reason for this change'can
readily be accounted for in the
great improvement in mining
methods in the iron country
during the depression. During
that period iron miners were
compelled to resort to all kinds
of devices to cheaper the costs
Of mining ia order TO keep afoat
and the consequent whetting of
ideas resulted in many deep cuts
being made in the labor and eX.
pense items of the cost sheet.
IL was a matter of life and death,
commercially speaking, with
the iron men and they respond.
ed to the demand by devising a
greatly reduced system Of min.
ing all around.
With the copper men there
was no necessity for economy,
Their properties were all paying
dividends and that was all the
stockholders cared about, con.
sequently the mine managers
we're content TO continue on
| in the same old way ignoring the
advancement in method made BY
| the iron miners. The increase in
the price of copper has resulted
in many mines yielding lower
grade rock being put ut work
| Millions of money is being spent
upon these properties and the
wise manager is looking ahead
to the time when the slump is e
come and he must either go ont
of commission or compete with
mines equipped by nature e
underbid him. Consequently
