The Champion correspondent OF
the Mining Journal sends the follow
ing to that paper anent the opera
tions of the Edward Hines Lumber
company in the Huron River
district, near here, and the
making of L'Anse their headquart-
ers: Champion people who derive
a benefit from operations in the
woods near here regret that the
Hines Lumber company of Chicago,
did not make this place headquart-
ers, as it intended doing when the
timber controlled by the corporation
was purchased short time ago.
L'Anse people will profit by Cham
pion's loss, as the company's en-
ployes make headquarters there.
When it was decided to remove the
rails from the Huron Bay line the
management Of the Hines company
thought operations could be con-
Quoted to better advantage from the
L'Anse end than from here. About
100 men are now employed at the
camps and more will be added
soon. ("
