Underground Forests.

Few people have any conception
OF the vastramount of timber used
every year IN the mines of the up
per peninsula. So much timber has
gone into the mines that they can
without misnomer well be called
underground forests. The truth Of
this may be gathered from the fact
that the steamer Haywood is due to
leave Shelldrake, Chippewa county,
for Lake Linden, in few days with
100000 feet of timber for use in
the Calumet & Hecla mine.

Consignment Of 100000 Brook
Trout Fry Arrives For
Baraga County.
STOCKING FISH STREAMS
Tho Michigan Fish Commission
Doing Excellent Work In tho
Upper Peninsula.

The distribution car 'Fontanalis y
belonging to the Michigan Fish
Commission, arrived at L'Anse and
Baraga Tuesday morning with
consiRnments Of about 120. 900 brook
trout fry for distribution aud
planting in the streams of this
county. The car also made stops
at various down -the-road points,
where quantities Of the little fish
were delivered.
At L'Anse fourteen cans were
left. There were 5000 in each can,
which makes $4,000 fry for planting
in the streams near this village.
Baraga village was furnished with
a consignment OF twelve cans or
$4,000 fry for planting in the
streams near there. The remainder
of the 10000 allotted Baraga
county was distributed in Spur
and Covington townships.
This amount is said to be but
portion of what was applied for
last year. Application has been
made for 100000 more for this
county.
Including the fry that .went to
other sections of the upper PENN
sula, about 400, 900 of the little fish
were planted throughout the upper
country by the Michigan Fish
Commission this week. The com
mission has done excellent work in
this peninsula and deserves credit
for it.
In sorting the fry before the car
leaves the 500 hatchery, many
freak fish are found and thrown
out. Some have two bodies with a
single head, some two heads on one
body. Others are semi-circular in
shape, while some are curled up in
the form OF small shell. To keep
these fish and plant them would in
jure the species.

Items OF Interest Taken From
Our Exchanges and
Condensed.
THE MICHIGAN GOLD MINE.
Company Is Now Being Formed
to Operate This
Property.

Edward Copps, ofGogebic county,
who has had considerable experience
in gold and other mining, recently
obtained options from Peter Gin
grass Of Ishpeming to purchase the
property formerly known as the
Michigan gold mine. This property
at one time produced some phenom-
enally rich gold quartz, and it has
been the opinion of many that the
property is very rich one, and that
If systematically worked would
develop into a large gold
producer. An assay recently
made of two pieces of quartz taken
indiscriminately from an old dump
pile upon the property shows as fol-
lows: No. 1, $25 in gold and $50
in silver. No. 2, $40 in gold and
$4.O5 in silver, to the ton.
A Meneminee employment agency
has been authorized by the Vance
Lumber Co., of Eureka, CAL, to
secure forty experienced lumbermen
from that section to operate in the
Redwood country, as the available
labor there is mostly all railroad
men. Ia the letter sent by the com-
pany it is stated that the woodsmen
of northern Michigan are considered
superior workmen.

ent of the Calumet 81 Hecla stamp
mill at Lake Linden, resigning about
two years ago on account of failing
health.
The extremely low water in most
Of the streams throughout the upper
peninsula is making lumbermen
anxious. In many cases it will be
impossible to drive logs and much
of the product will be hung up un-
less heavy rains fall.

reads: Corporal punishment OF
any kind is prohibited by the board
OF control Of this prison."
Under the new rules the only dis
ciplinary punishment OF prisoners
allowed to be administered are the
taking from prisoners all Of their
privilege tickets, reducing in grade.
solitary confinement on short rations
Of bread and water (no prisoner
shall be deprived OF water) and
Handwriting to the grated cell door
at the height OF his breast. The
new rules in general way are more
complete and cover more ground.
