The Tobin.

Fires were started under the
boilers at t"is property last
week and, at the present writ
ing, half of the water is out.
Such good showing was made
while the property was worked
last fall that there will be no
hesitancy about continuing
work. The first work will be TO
enlarge the upper or old portion
of the shaft TO the same size as
the new part sunk last year.
There is about seventy five feet
of shaft to be trimmed down and
retimbered. after which work
will be pushed in the bottom
The Tobin will undoubtedly ship
some ore towards the latter part
OF the season. The Milwaukee
road has a spur surveyed to the
property and the G. & n w. S
Columbia mine spur runs within
twenty rods OF it SO that there
need be no delay on account OF a
lack OF facilities.

Branching Out.

Jones q Laughlin, the Pitts.
burg iron men, are branching
out in the ore business and il
looks as if they intend TO cover
their future wants of raw mater
ial before everything Is gobbled
up by the trust. Heretofore
their only ore property has been
the famous Lake Angelina. al
lshpeming; but last year they
took the Jack Pot on the Gogebic
and recently they acquired the
Monongahela in this district.
Their last purchase was one Of
50, $50 600 worth Of mineral lands
ON the Mesabi range known TO
contain ore deposits The Hum
phrey mine at Virginia goes in
with the deal. is likely that
this same concern will make ad
ditional purchases in the Crystal
Falls district as they need this
ore.

A boiler has been put IN posi-,
ton at this property and steam

No. 4 pump is heaving the water
out ofthe shaft at q good rate.
The water is now down about
twenty Eve feet and the timbers
are found 10 be very we'll pre-.
served after their fourteen years
rest under the water. The total
depth of the shaft is l25 feet and
it is thought that the water will
all be out in week or two at
the outside. Besides the shaft
there is q drift and a crosscut in
the ore below but they are not
extensive enough To hold any
great body of water. AS soon
as the water is ont the under
ground workings will be in

there is anything like that

things turn out as expected over

To Change the Iron River.
Thore have been many stories
afloat regarding the proposed
changing of the course OF the
Iron River which flows over the
Riverton mine at Stambaugh
but, beyond the fact that sur
veys are being made, there is
positively no information rs to
the intention Of the company.
One thing is certain: that the
river will eventually have 10 be
changed and the Oliver people
are casting about for the cheap
est and most feasible route. Not
only is the old Iron River part
OF tho mine effected but the Mil
Ter which adjoins it to the north
is directly under the steam. Nc
work is being done at the Miller
at the present time, all Of the
ore mined being taken from the
old Iron River mine. I'm this
mine the space from which the
ore is mined is first closely tim
bered and then filed with rock
and sand taken from the open
Dit above. This is u very eX-
pensive method of winning ore
and can be pursued only when
ore commands n high price in
the market, but, leaving expense
out of the question, there is the
future possibility, yes, proba-
biliiy of the surface settling
when greater depth is attained
Us il is q well known fact that a
mine cannot be filed so com
pactly as TO prevent some
settling. Should the ground
settle il would cause large
cracks in the surface. through
which much water would come
down from the river above and
the water charge would be in
creased slmost 10 a prohibitory
one. Some reports have gone
out that. unless the course of the
river is changed, such "a cata-
clysm as happened at the Mans
field is liable TO occur. This is
entirely false as the filling Of the
mine would prevent any great
thrush Of water.

INFAMOUS AND UNMANLY CODE.
Congressman briggs Denounccs West
Point Ethics.
Cry Associated Prcss.)

WEST POINT, N. Y, Jan. 15.-Cadet
Joseph T. Barnes. of the District of Co
lumbia. who was one of Cadet Keller's
seconds. and who seems to have more
knowledge of the code of the corps in
regard to iistic arguments than any other
cadet at the West Point Academy. con-
tinued his testimony before the Congress
sional Investigating Committee, when the
hearing resumed to-day. Last night
Barnes was sworn and examined by Judge
Smith, the congressman from Council
Bluff, Iowa. and the young man had quite
a trying time. Mr.. briggs, of Brooklyn,
took the witness in hand to-day and ask
ed him infinitely about the Keller-Booz
fight.
While listening to Barnes description of
the affair, the Brooklyn Congressman in
terrupted the witness and asked him:
Under your infamous and unmanly
code of fighting, is not understood that
an upper class man is selected especially
for the purpose OF administering sound
drubbing to the fourth class man, who is
called out?'
Eyes, sir; 1t is understood when a fourth
class man is called out, he is to be whip
ped
"Oh, so that's the CODE said Mr..
briggs, as he shook his finger at the wit
ness, while he arose from his seat be-
side the chairman, then leaning TOWARDS
the witness, he shouted:
Young man.. this dishonorable prac-
tice you have described would not be tole-
rated in any athletic club in the world
The upper class man who is a party to
the calling out of a fourth class man for
the purpose of having him thrashed is
coward and the fourth class man. who
is beaten is nothing else but a hero. This
morning received four letters from Kan
sas. Massachusetts,, New York. and
Brooklyn, in all of which the mode OF
fighting and hazing here is called brutal
bullyism. That is too mild a description
I call it brutal cowardice," and he took
his seat.
