There is little doubt but that Il
large mine will be opened Up on
this property. The Oliver people
have gone al the work in a
manner that evidences their
faith in the mine and fully $I2, :
600 have been spent in surface
equipment. An engine house,
office and boarding house have
been built. a fifty b, P. boiler
is in place and being used A
small Marinette hoist is being
put in place this week.
The water has been pumped
out of the open pit to a depth Of
forty feet and attention is now
being turned to timbering up the
old workings to as 10 make them
safe. AS soon as this work is
finished the water will be lower
ed another level. The ore de-
post shows up to be about forty
feet in width and the ore is OF a
fair grade. A spur will be put
in from Saunders which is about
ten miles distant. This spur
will open up one of the best hard
wood tracts in Iron county and
boom the Chicagon lake district.

OF an ore concern well known
here.
Considerable talk is being
occasioned in Cleveland the
manner in which the firm of Cor
rigan, Mckinney & Co. of Cleve-
land, is branching out in the
iron ore business. Within the
past year they have leased
number OF large tracts OF mining
land in the Lake Superior dis
trict and have added 18 boats TO
their feet of vessels. Captain
Corrigan stated this week that
the firm expects TO ship at least
100000 tons OF orc from its new

Report Untrue.

Our good friend Newett, of
Iron Ore, has been mis-.
formed in regard TO the Voos
property True, matters are not
as ilowery out there Us they were
some time ago but neither the
worth nor the extent OF the ore

more because Of unfortunate Cir
cumstances than anything else.
Last November Oglebay, Norton

property paying bonus there.

but the operators had much
trouble getting laborers and

and delayed the work SO that
when the first OF February came

down but n few feet further than
Voos and his men had put them.
The company desired an exten-

They naturally were discouraged
and didn't wish TO pay large
sum until they had seen more 81

About Iron River.
The Boylngton.

The Oliver Mining company
has placed a drill upon the farm
OF A. j. Boyington, the well
known Iron River hotel man,
where indications are very favor
able for the discovery of a mine.
Some years ago Mr. Boyington
started TO sink a well upon his
land and, to his surprise, struck an
ore formation. He decided 10
do a little exploring and SO
carried the shaft down to a depth
Of about fifty feet and then
driftcd across the formation for
quite a distance. A good sized
body OF lean ore-was met but
it was lower in iron than was in
demand those days so no more
work was done. The work was
not deep enough to determine
the worth Of the property and
last fall he gave an option upon
the land TO the Oliver people and
they will test it thoroughly with
drill.

not enough real knowledge to
base well grounded opinion
upon. The Sheridan had been
pumped out in 1895 and the
shaft sunk two levels OF about
sixty feet each but no ore. TO
speak OF, had been raised from
these levels to the surface. 1t
was from these reserves that the
major portion of the ore was
taken last summer. This winter
the shaft is being dropped
another lift and much drifting is
being done underground to prove
up the property in an intelligent
and systematic manner. The
ore at this property carries more
sulphur and alumina than the
other ores in the neighborhood
but not enough to make the ore
an undesirable one. Thirty
one thousand tons OF ore were
shipped from this property last
year and good tonnage is looked
for next.

imDOGlail 1OltSCifi.
In the Fall Of 1897 the firm of
Pickands, Mather & Co., owners
aud operators Of tho Hemlock
mine ia this district and closely
allied with,ihe Cleveland Cliffs
company on the Marquette range,
had forseen the subsequent stir
in iron and decided to explore
some Of the wild lands on the
hknominee range. They pro-
Vcd to go into the work on a.
scale that would bring results
and 10 chat end set aside a
snug sum, reported to be about
500. GOO 10 be spent in the work.
Chas. r.. Lawrence, who has
been their superintendent at the
Hemlock for number of years
and had handled the property
admirably was chosen TO imme
diately superintend the work
and III. S. Haselton, Of Milwau-
lxec, formerly secretary OF the
Aragon mining company. was
selected as a general agent to
look after the options. The
name .Menominee Exploration
Company was chosen.as the title

eral Office being at Cleveland.
IL is just about a year ago
that Mr.. Lawrence took up tne
work and today five properties
are being operated. three OF
them being new discoveries and
1.-Two Of them semi developed
ines when secured but whose
claim to the term mine is no
longer questioned.
Mr. Lawrence was the first
man in the field looking for
desirable properties and while
no succeeded in interesting his
company in five, lie has had up foI
their consideration and labored
hard to have them take up
several Of the largest and now
known to be the best things
on tie range, and had
they acted on his suggestions
several OF the best mines in the
Crystal Falls district would now
be under their management,

has started a drill on the Iron

that upon which the Buckeye
Stave company's mill is located.

lies in a direct line north Of the
Miller between that property and

tends on up the river they will
surely catch it,
Surrendered the Options.
The Oliver mining company
has surrendered the option
which it held on the Hammer
property adjoining the Miller al
Iron River. The principal
reason for the surrender OF the
option is that they are SO crowded
with exploratory work that they
could not get around TO do the
work upon the Hammer within
! the time required for the option.
This land is well located and il
is likely to be taken up again by
other concerns.
This company has also pulled

with there that averages abou
twenty feet in thickness but j
was not high enough in iron e

THE GREINGER.
This property lies directly
southwest OF the Dober mine. OF
the Iron River district, on an
adjoining forty and was the first
of the new ore discoveries TO be
reported on the range last year.
The property was secured by Mr..
Lawrence about a year ago and
explored with a diamond drill,

on the deposit here varies from
fifty to ninety feet in thickness

putting a shaft down through
this material as it will certainly
be an expensive undertaking.
The company is quite satisfied
from the drilling as to the worth

two ago started series of stand

place to put down the shaft.

THE FoGERTY.

Directly south east Of the
Greininger on the adjoining
forty is the second discovery OF
the Exploration company. a
shaft was put down near the
bend in the Iron river where the
ore formation is shown up. The
shaft rested at a depth of about
eighty six feet and q crosscni
was put in to the east in which
the ore was met with when
about forty feet from the shaft.
Twenty feet OF a fair grade oil
ore was cut and the indications
were so promising that it was
decided to sink the shaft TO Q
depth of about $50 feet and ther
cut the ore again. The shaft i:
now down about 140 feet. 1t il
q small one sunk wholly for ex
ploring purposes. A small
boiler and hoist makes up Tho
machinery equipment. There i
no doubt but that some ore vii
be shipped from the FogertN

THE MURPHY.

Across the hill on the next
forty south OF the Fogerty is the
Murphy the other new discovery
made by the Exploration com
pany. Here a shaft was put
down in the formation for dis
lance of about fifty feet and, in.
stead of drifting. a diamond drill
was placed in the bottom of the
shaft and a flat hole bored
diagonally across the formation
at an angle of forty-hve degrees
TO the northwest. A vein OF orr
about sixty feet wide was'cut ane

A Difficulty in the Auditors Office.

County Auditor Otto Hagen and his
deputy, w. A. Wittbecker, have part
ed company on unfriendly terms.
About a week ago for various reasons,
among them neglect and improper
performance of duty, Mr.. Hagen
ouested Mr.. Wittbecker to resigN
which the latter refused to do. SaA
urday, by request, Wittbecker turned\
over the keys of the office he had to
Hagen and then went before Justice
S. r. Thompson and filed an informa-
ton against Hagen for larceny from
the county. Hagen waived examina-
ton and promptly gave bonds to await
the action of the grand jury.
Various runners are circulated con-
cerning the action of both of them but
the courts having been appealed to by
Wittbecker, justice to all parties de-
mands suspension of judgement un-
til the court has investigated. Witt
becker charges Hagen with retaining
fees that he ought to have turned over
to the county, which is u question OF
law, ard of appropriating wood to his
own use that belonged to the county.

Hagen most of his life cannot believe
