THE LAMONT.

They are about ready to start at
work unwatering this property For
nearly two years the only work done
on the properly has been the sinking Of
a shaft the old one having caved in.
Some work has been done in the line
of drifting underground, access to the
mine having been had through the old
Paint River shaft. and the water has
been kept down TO a level Of the Paint
so that only that part Of the mine that
lies below the water level Of the Paint
will have to be cleared A pump of
large dimensions will be put into the
mine at once and the water cleared
out so that when the drift is in the
mine will be free OF water and mining
can be started at once.

POLICY PLAYING IN GOTHAM.
The Infamous Gambling scheme 10
Extensively Worked I'm the
New York Metropolis.

BY the arrest recently of one Of
the gamblers of New York city,
known as the policy king, the extent
TO which policy playing has been car
ried on in the metropolis was
brought TO light. Papers in the place
searched by the police show that the
receipts in 100 shops owned by the
policy king amounted 10 $4,000 a day
on the average, and of this $1,000 q
day was profit. About $1,000 day
was paid for expenses of running the
business, including $1,000 a day for
police protection. An insignificant
amount was paid out in the shape OF
winnings, care being taken by the
manipulation of the figures that
these should not amount to much.
The profits were so great that
after paying all the expenses there
was fortune left of $4,000, 900, and
some Of those engaged as assistants
were paid as high as $1,000 month
for their work. These enormous
amounts came chiefly in small sums
from people little able TO afford IL,
and who did not realize that they
were being robbed by the most infa.
nous system OF gambling ever de.
yised. The fact that the play can be
made for a few cents makes IL very
tempting TO the poor and credulous

Cnn.er of Cancer.

Under the heading, THE Pre-can-
eerous Stage of Cancer" recent
medical journal cites the following
conditions which predispose to the
disease: Fissure OF the lip, abrasion
Of the tongue from rough or
broken tooth. biting the tongue, cut
ting a wart while shaving, wound Of
the skin from the tooth of a comb,
chronic eczema. The constant pres
sure and irritation from a pipe or
cigar is supposed TO be a causative
factor in the cancer OF the lip in
men, condition which is very rare
in women.

THE CRYSTAL FALLS.

At this property the stockpile ac-
cumulated from the winters work has
grown to mammoth proportions and
from all appearances the phenomenal
record OF last season will be exceeded
this year. Underground, preparations
to get out phenomenal output are
being carried on greater scale than
ever before. A new level, the seventh,
has been added to the mine the past
winter and work was recently started
on the addition Of another level, the
eighth. AS the opening up work on
the seventh proceeds, the ore body
shows up fully as we'll as on any of
the previous levels. The output of
this mine was $50 600 tons last year
and it is likely that that phenomenal
OUTPUT will be exceeded by some fifteen
or twenty thousand the coming year

THE BIRD.

In response to- our query as TO what
mis- company proposes 70 do at the Bird
mine this year. Mr.. Sanders stated that
they were figuring on doing little
work but was not certain at this date
if the work will be started this spring
or later on one thing is certain and
that is that the Bird will be worked
by the Bird Iron company as they are
too well impressed with the outlook
or finding a mine on the property 20
allow il TO slip through their fingers
Superintendent o. @. Davidson, OF the
u. S. Steel company was in the Falls
last week and accompanied Mr.. Sand
ers on a trip TO the property. What
the result Of their deliberations were
has not been given ont but it is limited
that ia was favorable to immediate
work at the property.
In this connection il may be noted
that the Crerar Clinch people have at
the present time great deal OF explor-
atory work on their hands and IL is
natural that they should want to get one
Of their properties in a producing state
before reopening any Of their old ones.
This can best be accomplished by con-
centrating all Of their energies on one
poropety. They are just now pounding
hard at the Foxdale and the James.
The first mentioned poperty is rapidly
rounding into fine mine and will be
able to stand on its own bottom very
soon. The James will require much more
exploratory work before anything de-
finite can be said Of IL

THE RECLA.

The exploration just across the bridge
is passing by the above name and has
been looking very good for the past
week or 80. Contrary to the judgement
of all, the explorers have encountered
vein Of hematite ore of good quality.
The vein was met with on the side
hill and in crosscut towards the hill.
AS the drift was put in at a depth of
only fifteen feet it is altogether too
soon to say what there is there but it
is the opinion of all who have seen it
that the shaft ought 70 be sunk deeper
and the formation crossed further down.

THE MESABI
The Drake a. Stratbn company,
which has large contracts upon the
Mesabi range, will move this year
about /, 400, 900 cubic yards Of surface
at the mines there. About 700 men
will be employed all the season. A
bout 200, 600 yards Will be stripped
from the Burt mine by Winston d Dear
a smaller contract will be completed at
the Auburn. At the SauntrY and Oliver
some stripping contracts will probably
be- let, and the Donora Mining com
pany will be obliged TO take of some
earth from the new Donors nine. The
United States Steel corporation will
have large job Of stripping at the
new Stevens mine. AT the Mahoning
about 200, 600 yards will be stripped.
The Interstate Mining company is
now in ore with two shafts, aid Their,
will be shipments this year Of about

GREAT WESTERN.

AT the rate that the wokmen are hust-
ling along the work Of installing the
machinery at this property it will not
be a very great time before the poperty
will be equipped with the long looked
for plant that will distance anything
of it's kind in the district. The work
is well along ana couple OF weeks
more will about see the end of il.
We are told that just as soon as the
machinery is in place the work OF free
ing the mine of water will be started
80 that when the shaft is completed
there will be no delay occasioned by
the workings being full Of water.
There is an immense volume OF
water in the mine and il will take
considerable time under the most fav-
orable circumstances to free it Of water.
The property is decidedly the worst in
the district when it comes TO the ques-
ton Of wet mines, the flow being con-
siderably over 1000 gallons per minute
Bailers will be used in handling the
water and they will be worked in the
old No shaft
The new shaft has reached a depth
of about 400 feet. About hundred more
feet will be necessary to sink before
the required depth is reached At the
rate that they are putting she shaft
down at the present time this depth
will be attained early in the summer

EXPLORING In CUBA.

Matt Gibson talks very entertain

ploring for Iron ore in Cuba. Mr..
Gibson was sent 20 Cuba the latter
part of last season 70 do di9mouH drill
work for the Sullivan anca4acy COM

can capitalists are seeking TO open up

there are many well developed mines Of
old standing. This new territory Is in
the vicinity Of HAVANA province and
Is one which American push and enter
prise has started the exploration Of Mr..
Gibsons work is that Of foreman and
diamond setter He had five men under
him TO work the drill. Several had
tackled the position ere he tried it and
each had "jumed his job without get
ing down a standpipe. IL seems that
the surface drift is quite heavy in the
vicinity, and the standpipes which Mr.
Gibson has been putting down struck
the ledge at depths varying from 100 to
100 feet. The drift is not one that
makes stapdpiping difficult but, the
natives Of tthe south have never been
treated TO the school of practical train

Lake Superior districts, and cannot sur

AT THE MAS

Perhaps the wonderful progress made
in sinking the shaft at the Mas mine
has no parallel in the annals of mining
history OF Lake Superior But eighth
teen days have elapsed since the first
bucket Of earth was hoisted from the
shaft, and AZ six o clock last night the
shaft was down sixty-three feet, and
for the fact that the work OF sinking
was delayed by the timbermen being
unable to keep mp with the miners in
the beginning it would be down al
least seventy or seventy-hye feet The
shaft is as straight al die, and thus

FROM THE MINE

WHAT WILL THE HARVEST BE.

WHAT WILL THE HARVEST BE.
This is about the time of year when
the wiseacres OF the iron ore business
do their guessing on the outputs Of the
different ranges and already the pace
has been sat, for the general output, at
about 2s,000 600 tons. Some go as
high as 20, 600. 600 tons but the most
conservative Of the guessers place the
figures between the 23, 600, 600 and
"a, 600, 600, mark. This means an in
crease over the last year of about g.
600, 90 tons and the great bulk OF that
increase must come from the Measbi
range. There will be some increase on
the old ranges but not enough TO make
any great increase in the grand total
And then, the old range mines have, as
a general thing. allotted outputs marked
ont for them and above those figures
they do not, as a general thing go.
The Crystal Falls district will show
a slight increase over last year but IL
will not be great for the reason that
some Of its mines are going to fall shy
of last years mark This is especially
true Of the Mansfield and the Great
Western. The former will decrease
it's output because Of the necessity Of
stopping work in the south end of the
mine. The Great Western is closed
and the operators will do well if they
get into the race on the last half.
These losses will be Offset by the out
put OF the new mines who were either
not in the list at all last year or came
in for small contributions near the
flag end of the season.
II we were asked to state our opinion
as TO the probable output Of the mines
in this district the coming year we
would make list somewhat as fol-
lows

The shaft which has been in the pro-
cess of sinking through the sand cap
ping for a month back was lodged last
Friday and late reports from the pro-
perty seem to indicate that the boys
have a property of great value over
there.
The ledge was reached at depth of
80 feet and was of broken nature
containing a great deal OF ore but it
was badly mixed with rock. A day s
work in this kind Of stuff bought the
workmen to the ledge proper and an
other days work brought the shaft into
clean ore assaying much better than
anything found at the property previous
TO that time. Sunday, the sand ran
in and occasioned some trouble but that
misfortune has been ovecome and they
are again working in the clear stuff
