CanOn's Railroad Meeting.

Between fifty and one hundred
people assembled at the court
house in Canon Saturday night
to consider the railroad PROPOSE
tion. Hon. Jos. w. Nilsson pre-
sided, and being one of those who
drafted the agreement, he read the
document ard explained the differ
ent features as he proceeded.
The proposition is in effect that
if Canon City will give deeds to
the right of way from a point near
mile post No. I to a point near the
ID. 4 r. G. station, that the COM
pany will build and operate a rail-
road between said points. The
company suggests that arrange
ments may be made with the d. q
r. G.. for the use of its station. but
if not, then additional grounds
must be secured for depot.
In addition to this said railroad
signified its desire to eventually
build a station, offices, shops,
roundhouse and other terminal fa-
cilities in Canon" and asked that
deeds be secured to a desirable
site for these, the deeds to be held
in escrow until the railroad should
comply with the terms of the con-
tract.
There was a provision inserted
just at this point to the effect that
if the company does not build its
shops, etc. within year from the
time the site is agreed upon, the
deeds for such site are to be re-
turned.
The meeting then unanimously
adopted resolution accepting the
proposition of the railroad compa-
ny. A committee of one was ap-
pointed on right of way, he to be
paid for his services by the Cham
Der of Commerce. A committee
of five was also appointed to solicit
subscriptions.

The Game Laws.

There seems to be a good deal of
misunderstanding regarding the
Michigan game laws among sports
men, and particularly the law re
garding the opening of the part
ridge season.
At the last session of the legisla-
ture the law regarding partridge
was changed. The season now opens
October 1st instead of September
18th, and runs till November Both,
two months. In the lower penin-
sula the season opens October 10th
and closes on the same date as in
the upper peninsula.
In the upper peninsula any kind
of waterfowl may be killed between
September 1st and January 18th. 1t
is unlawful to kill wild pigeons,
Mongolian or English pheasants till
the year 1905, and then the open
season lasts only from October Goth
till November Both.
Many have been led to believe
that the partridge season in the
Upper Peninsula opens Sept. 18th,
but all should take warning. 1t is
October 1st.
Aside from these changes the
game laws remain as formerly.

Items of Interest Taken From
Our Exchanges and
Condensed.
SAVING TO COPPER MINES.
Capt. Wilcox, of the Arcadian, has
Devised New Plan Of Mining
Which is Being Tested.

A Houghton dispatch says that
Capt. Wilcox of the Arcadian has
devised a new plan of mining which
is being watched with deep interest
aud which gives every promise Of
proving highly successful, in which
case it will necessarily be adopted
IN a short time by every amygdaloid
mine in the district, except few in
Keweenaw county whose lodes dip
at too fat an angle to permit rock
to run freely when broken. Capt.
Wilcox's system is modification Of
the milling system in use on the
Mesaba iron range and was put in
to effect in the slopes of No. 2
shaft of the Arcadian about three
weeks ago. The timber gang then
numbered eighty-four men. Exactly
one-third of the force has been dis
charged, there being no work for
them, and of the present force of
fifty-six men one half will be let out
this month, reducing the timber
force permanently by just two
thirds. No heavy stull timber is re-
quired by the new plan and the saw
ing on timber alone at the Arcadian
is estimated at $1,000 to So, 200
monthly. The success of Capt.
Wilcox's s ingenious system, which
seems reasonably certain. will save
about Sl,0O0,O0O per annum to lake
mines when put in general use, as
1T certainly will be aft + its success
is demonstrated at the Arcadian.
From Bessemer it is stated that
the prospects for an active all-rail
ore shipping winter are very good,
as all the big mines will be unable
to fill their orders before the close
of navigation. Preparations are
already being made and every mine
has from one to two steam shovels
working full blast.
Charles T.. Beach, a sailor, fell
from the mast head of "a coal barge,
at Hancock, Saturday last, which
resulted in his death a few hours
later. Deceased was a resident OF
Duluth.
Marquette has paid over the
81, 900 demanded of it by the state
for locating the new normal school
in that city. The site for the school
was also donated.
The iron mining companies of the
Marquette range announce a volun-
tary raise of ten cents day in
wages, which took effect Sept. lst.

this would be incomplete without at
least giving mention of the attain
ments of the wives. While they
will hold no position in the school
they will be in position, through
their affiliations, to exert a strong
influence over the students with
whom they will come in contact.
The three who come here in this ca
pacity are all women of splendid at
tainments. All of them have had
the advantage of college training
and two of them have had the privi-
lege of finishing their education
abroad.
