The diamond drill. (Crystal Falls, Iron County, Mich.) 1887-1996, 1902-03-29

objection heard and asked for an ex-
planation We give here few OF the
reasons and the answers we got from
the board Of public works.
But, before taking up the statements
in detail let us review the root Of the
case and answer the primary question,
do we need new power plant
We have heard no person say no to
this question. All are agreed ON that
point Something must be done with
the plant and il must be done at once.
That something implies either of
two things; to rebuild the works in
their present place or TO move them
to another point. We have failed TO
find anyone that is in favor of main
tanning the waterworks in their present
place for reasons that are so well known
that we feel that we do not need 10 re-
hearse them here. Granting, then, that
a large majority, at least, of the tax
payers are agreed upon that point the
only solution is that the works should
be moved. Where shall they be moved
tol Here there is a split. Some want
them at the Briar Hill and some at
the river. One man said TO us, i am
in favor for moving the waterworks
but until they tell me where they are
going to place the works | will vote
no - The officials tell us that il is
their intention to get one or two ex-
perts here, If the proposition carries
and lay the whole matter before him
or them as the case may be have him
look all of the points over and upon his
or their say the plant will be located.
This certainly seems TO us to be the
best way and ought TO be satisfac-
tory way as a man that makes water
woks business ought to be able TO
pass upon the matter intelligently.
Then comes in the question of expense.
How much ought we put into new
waterworks3 This question seems TO
have been the greatest stumbling block
in the way of successful issue at the
last election In order to be able to
pass upon this question intelligently
the board, upon the recommendation
Of the Westinghouse company, hired
Mr. Sturtyvant, civil engineer of alb
ility and experience He came here
and spent two days in looking the
ground over. There had been much
talk of operating the proposed plant

and put down another hole 70 depth
ot 800 feet with like result. Thest
holes convinced him that the vein had
swung 10 the north There Is a revine
running up through the hills and thin
king that the vein might follow that
he went up close 10 the falls road and
started a shaft At depth OF about
30 feet be encountered the ledge and
found that it was Of ore bearing quail
ity aud we continued ON down When
we were there, depth of about fifty
feet had been reached and there was
much good looking stuff coming out OF
the shaft He will continue the shaft
to depth of 100 feet when he will
start cross cut to learn of the for
nation.
All hope that Mr.. Roberts Will dis
cover mine on the property. but even
should he fail this exploration is an
important one TO all the property own
ers in the neighborhood for it will
show something of the trend Of the
Youngstown ore formation. 1t is Mr.
Roberts opinion that the formation
continues ON in an easter course
from the point where he is exploring
to the old Crystal Falls mine on the
bank OF the Paint River. about 20 rods
beyond him. This mine is hardly more
than an exploring shaft sunk long ago
for the purpose Of proving up the for.
nation the ore bearing rocks outcrop-
ping in very interesting folds at the
falls. The shaft penetrated boulder
Of specular ore, freak of nature, but
IL proved to be only boulder, and the
place was so very wet that no more
work was done there The fact that
this boulder of specular ore was found
there has lead TO the statement that
Mr.. Roberts expects TO encounter a
vein of specular ore. This is absurd.
But, TO return from the digression,
some are of the opinion that the for
nation splits there and continues down
the Paint valley on the south side of
the river while others have AN idea
that the bluffs will swing it to the
south and that it will traverse the land
south and make off towards the Colum-
bia mine. Whichever way it goes it
is liable to showup and ore body. Thus
the exploration will be anxiously watch

NEW WATERWORKS
OR NO WATERWORKS."
THAT Is THE QUESTION THAT. is UP
a TO THE ELECTORS.
Some Views on the Question Heard Upon the
Street BY Our Reporter.

Will the proposition to bond for the
construction of new power plant car
ry is the question that is bothering a
great many. We have put the ques-
tion to a number Of our readers and we
find that opinion is about as divided
as it was before when the question was
up. The fact Of the matter is that but
little work is being done by those
who are in favor Of the proposition
while its opponents are plugging ii
every chance they get But, the most
noticible thing about the matter is
that the properly owners are giving
the matter little consideration. A
gentleman, speaking on the subject Of
the last vote. enumerated those on the
main street that failed 60 vote the last
election and he had the majority Of
them by far on his list. This is a
condition Of things that ought not to
exist. It's the taxpayers that will have
to pay the taxes; it's the taxpayers
that will have to pay the bonds so it
ought to be the taxpayer that should
say If the proDoition is one that should
be carried
Every question has two sides The
bonding question is no exception to the
general rule. II has its favorable points
and its unafvorable ones and the only
way for voter TO decide intelligently
on this question is TO put the one a.
gainst the other and vote with the side
that predominates. No intelligent man
will allow himself 20 be mislead by
TIE irresponsible rantings of some one
that has a grievance against some Of
the officials in charge to mislead him
No voter should allow personal preiu-
dice to control his action. Be fair
with yourself. If, in your own mind
you think the proposition as good a
one as can be had under the circum-
stances, vote for it If on the other
hand, you feel that it is not the best,
vote against il but be sure that you
pass upon the question without bias
In our rounds of the town we have
heard diverse views and diverse reasons
given for voting against the PROPOSE
tion and, in our province as public
newspaper, we deemed it our duty to
find out the exact status Of the affair
that If any erroneous ideas were in
existance they might be corrected. So,
we have gone to the officials with eac

THE RoBERTs ExPoRATIoN.

A reporter for the Diamond Drill
visited the exploration Of c. I. Roberts
on lot three, near the falls, in this city
and found that the conditions there
are quite promising FOR the discovery
Of q mine on the property Lot 3 is a

be found crossing the property from
west TO east along the south half This
south half is valley through which
the Briar Hill creek runs The north
half Of the property is very broken

KILLED AT THE CRYSTAL FALLS.


Mat Pelka, Finnish miner lost his
life in the Crystal Falls mine last Mon
day. He was a miner and was at work
in one of the Slopes of the mine barring
down ground from the back It must
have been that he did not go to the
end of his gound to start work as, while
ne was working, a chunk fell behind
him and, rolling down the pile, struck
him and swept him along down the
rise He fell about 10 feet and receiv-
ed internal injuries that were fatal
He was taken to the hospital and lived
until late in the afternoon when he
died. His funeral was held from the
Henry undertaking parlors Wednesday.
Pelka was single man and was quite
we'll known amoung his fellow country
men of the city.

7RACTION TAXATION IN COURT.

Suits have been brought by traction
interests in the Circuit Court that may
prevent the collection Of $2,OOOOOO Of
taxes. The validity Of the assessment
Of capital stock OF every local corpora
ton is attacked. Discrimination In fl.
vor Of manufacturing and banking cor.
porations is alleged to be so gross and
unfair as to amount to legal fraud. The
cOnstitutionality of the law authorizing
the State Board Of Equalization to as.
sess the stock of purely local corpora
lions for local taxes Is raised for the
first time In any court. If this point Is
sustained in the higher courts the as.
ssssments of n similar character In ev-
cry county in the State will be declared
illegal.
The suits are injunction cases brought
by the Chicago Union Traction and
Consolidated Traction Companies and
directly involve over SiOD,VO In taxes.
The bills declare that the State Board
has no authority to make an original
assessment except for State purposes,
and that II cannot make an assessment
on the intangible property, otherwise
known as capital stock of corporations
which exist wholly within one county,
for the purposes Of county, city, town,
or other purely local taxation.
II IL also charged that unjust discrim-
ination has been made against tine com
panles IN thar they are assessed on a
full cash valuation Of their capital
stock, while n large amount of other
property is not assessed 10 exceed 90
per cent OF its cash value. 1t i asserted
that the assessments for 1891 are far
below the full cash valuations Of man

crty. The Pullman Car Company, the
Mccormick Harvester Company and
Swift & Go. are cited rs corporations
in whose favor discrimination has been
made.

Judge Tulcy and set for hearing on
Feb. 90. The town collectors agreed not

and County Collector Raymond op-
posed the agreement, but as the County
Collector under the law, cannot re-
