The diamond drill. (Crystal Falls, Iron County, Mich.) 1887-1996, 1899-03-18

The Reporter contained a short
statement two weeks ago that
negotiations were in progress
looking TO the transfer of the
Sheridan mine, at this place, TO
the Hemlock River Mining com.
pany, of Cleveland, of which
company, Pickands Mather Il
company are the leading Gpir-
its. Today we are pleased to
state that the transfer has been
made, which consists of pur-
chasing the machinery, engine
house, pumps, etc, now on the
property and the leasing of the
property from the fee owners by
the Hemlock Mining company.
William Burge, Of Amasa, and a
crew of eight men arrived here
this forenoon with several
pumps, and the work of unwater
ing the mine will be commenced
this afternoon. The re-opening
OF the Sheridan mine will be
gladly welcomed by our people,
who will extend to the new com
pany the right hand OF fellow
ship. The mine has during its
history shipped in the neighbor-
hood of 100, 900 tons of ore. 1t
is believed TO be "a good and
promising property, and that
there is no doubt of its ability to
furnish a large output of ore.
The new company has the
necessary capital and will spare
spare no pains To thoroughly
open up the property. VIM.
Burge. OF Amasa will have
charge OF the work. Iron Co.

FROM THE MINES
The Dunn.

The first gun in the promised
controversy between the fee-own.
ers and operators of the Dunn
mine was fired last week. The
Dunn mining company had re
moved the compressor from the
engine house and loaded it upon
q flat-car intending 10 ship II 10
Bessemer. The car had been
showed of the property with It's
load and the railroad company
notified TO pull it out but, in the
mean time. the fee-owners got
wind of the removal of the
compressor and notified the rail
road company not To remove the
car. 1t stands upon the siding
yet and no move seems TO be
made by either party TO release
IT, 1t is commonly understood
that il is the intention of the
company to strip the property
of its fine plant Of machinery
and that the fee owners have de-
termined TO prevent them from
doing so.

CASE MADE OUT

Local Contractors.
BeretanIa Street School Contract.
Lumber and Brick-The
Comparison.

Local contractors are up in arms.
They deny absolutely that there is any
combination among them such as Min
lister Cooper is reported TO have said
existed.
In speaking about the high bids for
the Beretania school Minister Cooper.
it is reported. compared the price paid
for the Palama school and the bids f6r
the present structure. there being about
50 900 difference
Such a comparison is unfair TO us. -
remarked a prominent contractor yes
terday afternoon. Conditions have
materially changed since the contract
for the Palama school. so much so. in
fact, that Mr.. Patzig will have a diff
cult time TO come out even with It.
Why" he said, lit Is next TO i'm
possible TO get bricks and lumber In
any quantity at present. Orders by
large lumber firms which were placed
long ago. are not filled yet. and when
you do get il the price is much higher
than formerly"
I'VE most certainly do not like the
idea of this contract being let in San
Francisco or any other outside place. d
remarked another when informed that
Minister Cooper intended to- invite bids
in San Francisco. We have done our
best considering the present conditions
The talk OF ring is nonsense. We
have written to the San francisco
Builders Exchange presenting on.
side of the matter. and IL will probably
be a difficult thing to obtain bids
there
Again. in regard to- the comparison
made between Palama and the one
under discussion at present. 1t Is said
that there is difference between the
requirements OF the two structures that
makes the cost of the Beretania school
a couple of thousands more than that
in Palama."
The contractors are not worrying
much as each one has more work than
he can accomplish for some time. Tn,
| fact probably tended to make the bid:
| a little high. The only bad result:
they look for is that people will be
come afraid OF the ring" and will hes
itate in placing orders for building.
