RLCaE1T NASONIC LODGE.

The richest Masonic lodge in the
country is declared to be that at
the old Central mine in Keweenaw
county, just across the line from
Calumet. The treasury contained
something like $3.50, and the ques-
ton as to what to do with the funds
was decided by the purchase of
Calumet & Hecla mining stock for
under $50 per share, the Masons all
having confidence the property
would be a big winner. 1t was this
Investment that has made the lodge
rich. Since then the stock has sold
for over $500 per share, while the
dividends received have all along
been applied to the purchase of
more shares until now good sized
BLOCK is held Ivy the lodge.

D!sCo vEHED FIRST COPPER NINE.
John Hayes, who opened the first
copper mine in the United States,
is still living, or was recently, in
humble cottage in St. Claire street,
Cleveland. He went to Lake Super
ior with the rush in 1913 al the rep
resentative of P'ttsburg and CIeve-
land capitalists, and in 1843, with
nine miners from the coal regions
near Pittsburg, he sunk a shaft at
Copper Harbor, about IS miles west
OF the 500. A vein of copper was
soon discovered of such richness
that in midwinter. with two Indians
ascompanions, he started for Mil
waukee on snow shoes to report to
his employ ers and secure the nec-
essary machinery for active opera
tions in the spring. Mr.. Hayes af-
terward discovered a solid mass of
copper which was cut up with cold
chise1s and when the pieces we're
weighed aggregated 81 tons. In
ten years this mine produced $8,-
oopo worth Of copper. and the
company declared over $2,OOO,OO0
in dividends, an average of ov er
$AuVU0 year on the capital of less
than 100000. This is claimed to
have been the most profitab BILE mine
for;the time it was running that
was ever opened in the United
States. Mrs. Hayes was the first
white woman that ever saw Lake
Superior and she is still living.

ENLARG ES NEW ORE DOCK.

The Eastern Minnesota road has
invited bids from contractors for
the construction of a 6)0-foot addi.
ton to its new ore dock on Allouez
bay. This important announce.
ment was made Saturday. The
new addition will make the struc.
ture the biggest iron ore dock in
the world. It will have total
storage capacity of 100000 tons,
thus making it bigger than either
of the two largest docks of the a1is-
sabe road in Duluth, which are at
present the largest ore docks in the
world.
The 60o-foot addition will provide
for 100 pockets and storage capa-
city of about 10000 tons. This dock
is the highest in the word, being "
feet from the water to the top. Bar
nett & Record were the contractors
for building the dock, two years
ago, bu, the contract for the addi-
tion has not been awarded az vet,
L. c. Barnett was in the city yester-
day, but claimed that he knew little
about the proposed addition.
The new addition to the dock will
have fifty pockets on either side,
The great height of the structure is
provided on account of the verv

numerous every. year, which re-

Diplomats Interested,

Prince Henry of Prussia is to be CIV
en- a reception betting the high sta
ton he occupies and the representa-
tive of such great nation as Germany.
The programme for his welcome,
which will be Immediately prepared, is
almost as interesting subject of spec
ulation in diplomatic circles as are the
reasons which induced Emperor Will
liam to send him here.
Prince Henry will be treated with
the most distinguished courtesy. Up
on his arrival at New York he will be
received by representatives of the
president and of the army and navy
and by military escort. Before he
lands salute of 81 guns, the number
given to the president, will be fired.
At the launching of the imperial yacht,
which will be christened by Miss Roose-
Welt, his address will be answered by
the president in terms as cordial as he
himself will employ.
When he reaches Washington he will
be received by the president and will
be invited to be the guest of the nation.

embassy. Following his call upon the
president Mr.. Roosevelt will return the
courtesy and will subsequently invite
him to dinner, which will be attended
by the most prominent men of the
country. Everything will be done to
make Prince Henry's visit pleasant
memory.
The imperial yacht Hohenzollern
will also be given a cordial reception.
It is possible that the North Atlantic
squadron may find its itinerary cut
short, and that it will be ordered to
receive the yacht at sea, accompanying
it TO port. and take it's share in doing
horror to the prince of Prussia. Such
elton will give Prince Henry, who is
Az officer of the Germany navy, an op-
pc"'nnity to see the latest American

securing wool.

Our ancestors secured their wool il
tubs, much as our wives and daugh
tiers scour our clothes today. In the
hand washing of wool tub was filled
with the suds, in which one or two men
with long poles stirred the wool until
clean, when they lifted it upon trav'
cling apron, which carried it between
a pair of rollers which squeezed out
the water. The same principle is ap
piled in the automatic securing now in
vogue.
Great forks or rakes seize the WOO
as it Is carried by rollers from a feed
ing apron into the iron tanks and by
alternating motions Of their teeth giv<
It a thorough securing. Thus cleansed
the wool is delivered by rollers to thu
drying machines, where hot air and
great fans are now utilized to extract
all the moisture without tearing the
fiber.

friendly osertures to the United States
with especial interest in view of the
growing enmity between his country
and Great Britain. Diplomats say that
there is now apparently rivalry be-
tween Germany and Great Britain for
American friendship.
President Roosevelt is naturally
pleased at the persistence of Emperor
William in endeavoring to promote
friendly relations with this govern
ment. During the four months of his
administration Emperor William has
given positive assurances that he has
no intention of occupying territory on
this continent; has shown a desire to
consult the United States with respect
to the collection of Chains from Venez-
uela; has asked that the president's
daughter christen HE new yacht, and
has finally announced that his brother
and his imperial yacht will pay a visit
to this country. The desire for Ameri-
can friendship is so obvious that it has
impressed the officials.
In connection with the proposed trip
Of the Hohenzollern to New York EN-
peror William telegraphed as follows
in English TO President Roosevelt:
II am most gratified by your kind per-
mission for Miss Roosevelt's performing
the christening ceremony Of my yacht. 1t
gives me great pleasure to announce to you
that I have ordered my yacht, the Hohen-
zoflern. to cross over and be present at the
ceremony. My brother. Admiral Prince
Henry OF Prussia. will appear as my rep
resentative and will be able to express to
you once more my sincere feelings and
friendship for the United States and their
1llustrious head ~: r..
President Roosevelt replied as fol-
lows IN German:
''Your majesty's intention to send over
your yacht, the Hohenzoilern, to attend
the christening by my. daughter of your
new yacht Is the source of great pleasure
/ And satisfaction TO me. can assure you
