Necessity Mother Of Invention.
In the year 1S47 Mr.. Hays made an
important trip to Europe Copper must
go through the smelling process before
it could be of use to the American GUS
toner. A smelling furnace must be
invented. He arrived in England with
letters of Introduction and proceeded
straightway to the furnaces.
The furnace owners, however. were mot
over anxious to show him their pro-
cess, and when later he returned to
America he decided that. anyway. he
could make better one than those in
use across the water and he set to
work. In the following year, near Pitts
burg. he placed his new invention in
operation. Seven tons Of copper would
be placed in it before o'clock in the
evening and by $50 the next morning
it would be taken out refined. Almost
an entire week was required In En-
gland to refine copper, but of course
there they have the soft ore.
There is at present no lack of inter-
est in the copper milling, and Mr.. Hays,
old as he is. still has a great interest
in the developments. He told me the
last time I talked with him that he is
expecting a mountain on Lake Superior.
some $50 miles from Duluth. in which
he is interested to yield richer veins
and more abundantly than any mines
yet opened in the new world.

PHILIPPINE GROUP BONDED.
F. A. Case Takes the Property in the
Interest of New York Men.

The Philippine group of cyanide pros
poets, in the Armells district, has been
bonded to +. A. Case, representing a
New York syndicate, for 100000, says
the Fergus County Argus. The deal was
contaminated last week. and Mr.. Case
is now Oh the property with force of
men, exploiting the various ore bodies.
The prospects are owned by Charles
Rhoades, Otto Anderson and Joseph
Meredith. and are on the forks of Ar
mells creek, the main ore body being on
the hogback directly between the forks.
The terms of the bond are that Mr..
Case shall commence development work
at once and continue with not less than
two men at any time.
The first payment will be made March
!, 1902, and payment Of $4,000 will
be made on July 1 of the same year
unless mill of not less than 80 tons
capacity Is operating on the property
in way which will show that work
will be carried on in an energetic and
business like manner. In the case Of
everything being satisfactory to all
parties concerned, the bond will be ex-
tended until 1903.
The small amount of development
work accomplished thus far has I'M
covered large bodies of ore, and on the
Philippine claim. where the creek cuts
through, 600-foot face of ore is in full
view. The property comprises seven
claims.
The ores procured from this property
so far have been low grade, and have
run from $3.50 to $3.50 per ton, though
it is thought that on a further develop
ment, ore of much higher values viii
be encountered.

FIRST COPPER MINE
IT WAS OPENED BY JOHN HAYS
So YEARS AGO.
Mr.. HAYS IS STILL LIVING
He Is Spending the Remainder of His
Days in Cleveland, Ohio-Is Now
90 Years Old-Indians Gave
the Clip

John HAYS, who opened the first cop
per mine in America. and who is now
in his 96th year. is spending the winter
of his like in a small house on st. Clair
street, Cleveland. An article in Pitts
burg newspaper. way back in 1913, was
responsible for the opening of the first
copper mine during that year. Mr.
Hays read in it's news columns one day
about the Indians finding pieces of that
which was believed to be copper ore in
abundance, says a correspondent of the
Pittsburg Dispatch. Mines opened in that
vicinity have since made many fortunes
for many men. Pttsburg capital had
a great deal to do with the opening of
the first mines on Lake Superior, and
later in the vicinity of the large rolling
mills of today, near Cleveland, there
was erected the first smelling works
by this same John Hays, although
sn1altng today is a part of the indus
try which is carried on near the cop
per mines.
A Dangerous Trip.
When Mr.. Hays started on his mi
tial journey to the copper yielding ter
ritory of the present il was Aalmost
like going into an UNEMPLOYED country
across tAe seas. Each trip was fraught
with dNAgers and hardshps, to say
nothing Of the difficulties encountered
at the destination. Yet, in this Klon-
dixie of 1S43. this man, with his assist
ants, soon began to make it show the
marks Of civilization and thrift.
In 1874, after he became certain that
there We're great copper veins in the
wilderness of the upper lakes. he. with
nine laborers, all from Pittsburg, be-
gan actual operations on the first mine
which they decided to open at Copper
Harbor, distance of nearly $50 miles
west of the Soo Here a vein of copper
was soon discovered and began to yield
In great quantities, considering the
crudeness of the implements with
which the laborers worked, and the lack
of experience in this particular line.
The second mine was opened at Eagle
river.
To Milwaukee on Snowshoes.
Elated at his success he left the mine

ing the Surprise property at Parrot and
are making good Roadway. Up to a
few days ago they had been shipping
four or five carloads of ore per month,
but concluded to sink the shaft to the
30O-foot mark in order that the ore would
be easier of access by the stopping pro-
cess. To do this it was necessary to Sc
cure larger machinery. Accordingly. the
necessary machinery was secured and
put in place, and last evening sinking
was commenced. The shaft is now 1876
feet deep.

men to continue operations while ne
returned to Pittsburg to tell the news
of his great discovery. With two In
dams for companions he started for Mil
waukee on snowshoes. Some three
weeks We're occupied in making the
journey home. During nearly two
months following he was engaged in
making the necessary preparations for
mining on more extensive scale. and
in explaining to Pittsburgers points
concerning the new industry. A COM
pany was then formed and a great
part of the stock was owned In Pitts
burg.
One Chunk Weighed 81 Tons.
Mr. Hays returned to the Eagle river
and put to work a larger force OF
men. After removing many smaller
pieces they finally came upon a piece
of copper ore which, when cut up and
weighed aggregated 81 tons. the vein
having been in some places five feet
wide. In ten years this mine produced
$4,000, 900 worth of copper and the COM
pany operating it declared dividends in
the same time of over S2.000,000, while
it had been assessed less than 100000.
This mine proved to be the most re-
munerative one in a short space of time
ever opened in this country. The COM
pany was known as the Pittsburg 4
Boston Mining company, one-half OF the
shares being owned by Boston parties
and one-haf in Pittsburg.
In 1916 there was beginning to be
considerable interest shown every
where in the mining of copper ore on
the upper lakes. Mr.. Hays engaged
more than 100 men to work steadily
in the new industry. About this time ne
began to think of helpmate in life
and married an esteemed lady of Pitts
burg, and they at once left on their
wedding trip to the mines at Eagle
river. Mrs. Hays was probably the
first white woman to go to the wilder
ness of Lake Superior copper regions.
The Indians asked permission to touch
her soft white hands and displayed
great admiration for the lady.
Industrious, Kind and Good.
Mrs Hays was, like her husband in
dustrious, kind and good. With the as
sistance of the large forces of men they
raised an immense boarding house. not
forgetting to set apart place for divine
worship on the Sabbath and for prayer
meetings during the week. Mr.. Hays
had the confidence of every employe with
whom he came in contact and his con-
fdence for good was greater than is
that of some of our seekers after wealth
in a new country in these days.
Just as in the klondike, or in any
newly developed land, there came to the
new territory saloon. A saloon
keeper, thinking he could there make
a small fortune put up a new build
ing and placed key near the entrance
as a sign. Mr.. Hays accordingly called
his men together He explained to them
the effect of strong drink and asked
as a personal request that they would
refrain from the use of intoxicants in
the future the same as they had done
