On the Cogebic.

AT the end of the first fifty
hours pumping, the water IN the
Ashland mine has been lowered
three feet. And all OF this was
accomplished with one Prescott
"sinker" pumping to the station
pump on the sixth level of No. z
shaft. A'second ''sinker" will be
installed at once, and then water
will be pouring out at the rate
Of over two and half millions of
gallons every twenty-four hours.
The advent of the Hayes Min
ing Co, at the Ashland mine has
caused a number OF changes in
the Office forces at the loo al
mines. Geo. W. Durkee, w. j.
Davy and Joseph Smith have
gone TO the Aurora Office, while
Dunbar Blackburn has left the
latter and taken a position in the
Oliver Cos office. Hugh Taylor
who is agent for the @. & n. W.
railway at Cedar Grove, Wis,
will arrive here in few days to
take charge of the Ashland
Office for the Hayes Mining Co.
No. 9 shaft at the Norrie is
receiving considerable repairs.
This shaft has been idle for sew
eral years on account of the over
fow of water from the Ashland
mine. The Ashland water

alton OF the shaft was rendered
impracticable as long az the old
water level was maintained in
the Ashland. The unwatcrimg
of the latter mine will permit OF
operations on the west end of
the Norrie, which has been prac-
ticallyidle for several years.
One of the big Prescott station

Saturday night in No. z shaft OF

Systematic Exploring.
Messrs. Catlin, Hammond and
Blesch are now doing some
systematic exploring at their
new discovered in the township OF
Felch and with good results.
AS yet the work is confin ed TO
towns "a and 30. Test pits are
being sunk and a trench is being
put down across the formation.
One test pit has reached a depth
of over forty feet and was bot
toned in clean ore. A very
large body of ore has been
proved up by this means. We
learn that the ore is improving in
quality while the same low per
centage of phosphorus is main
tanned. Mr.. Catlin is quite con-
fident that the find has no con
nection with the Fetch Mountain
range Notwithstanding that the
ore and geological conditions
appear similar. During the
week the exploration has
been visited by Capt. James
Trebilcock. of Ishpeming, repre-
senting the Lake Superior Iron
company, and by Supt. Chas. II.
Lawrence and III. S. Hazelton,
representing Pickands, Mather
& Co. Mr.. Catlin assures us
that the gentlemen in question
expressed themselves as highly
pleased with the prospect and
ventured the prediction that the
discovery was a highly import
ant one. No news of Importance
can be learned regarding the
other exploratory work now
now going on in that neighbor-
hood.
The Press was shown an
analysis Of the ore taken from
the bottom of the deepest pit
and it showed 81. so per cent in
iron and .004 In phosphorus. If
this percentage is maintained,

THE CARS CONGRESS
TO OUR DELEGATES
IN THE PRESIDENTS HANDS.
SOME OF THE RESULTS HOPED FOR.
AmcIioration of War Horrors-Doing,
Away With Torpedoes in Naval
Warfare and Rams on Warships-
Restriction On Explosive Shells.

WASHINGTON, j. c., April 1.-THE
instructions TO the American delegates to
the Cars Disarmament Congress are in
the hands Of the President. and they will
be communicated TO Messrs. White. Halls,
Newell, Mahan, and Crozier at an early
day. There will be no concerted meeting
Of the delegates on this side, the only
purpose being to arrive at The Hague
about the same time, on or about May
18th.
in one respect, It is said in official
quarters the Congress may achieve re-
suits Of far-reachng character, although
not in full realization Of the plan OF dis
armament. This will be I'm the line of
amelioratng the horrors Of war, doing
away with the needless suffering and
manning which some missiles Of warfare
occasion. and, in general, placing warfare
upon as humane a basis as is consistent
with military strategic usages. This plan
is said to be quite apart from any sent-
mental idea, and to be based upon strict
military considerations.
TENTATIVE PROPOSITION.
One Of the American delegates said to-
day, as indicating the scope of this line
of action, that tentative plans had been
put forward for doing away with tor
pedoes in naval warfare; also, Tor ADAM
doning rams on warships; also, for the
use of nOn-eXplosive shells below five
pounds The abandonment of tOrpedOes
and rams would probably arouse much
opposition from naval quarters. on the
ground that 1t was Utopian and senu-
mental
The restriction on explosive shells and
bullets already exists up to one pound,
but the tentative plan is TO make this
limit five pounds. The change is based
on the theory that the three and four
pound explosive shells cause wounds
similar to those made by spreading bull
let's. which needlessly tear the flesh and
cause intense suffering.
MUCH ALREADY DONE.
In many ways civilized nations already
have recognized the need of mitigating
the horrors of war. The Geneva con-
ference brought about many of these
humane understandings, and II is felt that
the cars Congress may stu further
carry forward this humane work.
