LAWYER ARRESTED
Healy of Houghton Charged With
~ Forging q Check.

~. Forging q Check.=
HOUGHTON, MICH.-J. j. Healy, q promi-
nent attorney with lucrative practice, was
arrested by Sheriff Wills yesterday on war
rant charging forgery, sworn out by Mrs.
Bassett. 1t is alleged Healy forged the name
of business man to a check for $50 drawn
by Mrs. Bassett. The arrest caused stir
among the attorneys friends and acquaint<
ances. He was released on bail pending trial.
Daniel Waara, resident Of Quincy, who
has been acting strangely of late, went in
sane yesterday afternoon. He left his board
ing-house and walked into Hancock and
rolled over like a dog in the street He then
ran for the woods, pursued by a crowd, and
watched and should he become violent viii

From deputy Sheriff to manager of one
ring circus is a far cry, but Deputy James
Wills is playing the role with some success.
He now has charge Of Williams G. Coz big
railroad circus. Last Tuesday while the cir
Gus was giving a performance In Red Jacket,
several youngsters bent on mischief erawled
in under the tent and removed all the stays
from the seats: OF. a sudden the tiers coll
lapsed and panic reigned for a while. When
things had been cleared little, E. J. White,
colored, was found to be injured, and he
brought suit for $2,50O. Wills served the writ
of attahcment. Williams said he couldn't pay
even If he wanted to-, and so the officer took
charge and will travel about the copper coun-
try giving performances until money enough
to satisfy the claim has been received.

Conner Men Find jobs.

CALUMET, MICH.-The 300 men discharged
by the Isle Royale and Osceola mining COM
panies rapidly finding employment In
other districts. Several of the discharged
men succeeded in securing positions in the
mines on the South Range. The greater num-
ber, however, will be compelled to go out
side Of the Lake Superior copper district.
The past few weeks has witnessed an exodus
Of miners TO South Africa, and many more
will follow.
The Isle Royale company has commenced
diamond drill exploration work on section
ten, where it is expected to encounter the
Baltic lode. On section sixteen the Atlantic
still has force Of men at work in the
crosscut west from the shaft. -.

stamp mill at Adventure Beach is delayed by
the heavy inflow of water The rock strata
is porous and water comes in about as rapid

capitalists, has made shipment of ten tons
Of quartz from the Gold Finch mine. re-

The Wolverine Mining company submitted
it's annual report to the shareholders this
week. It Is satisfactory in every respect.
The new stamp mill at Traverse Bay will
go into commission in a few days and the
cost Of producing copper will be materially
reduced. The directors expect to keep the
cost per pound down TO- eight cents during
the current fiscal year. ...-.. -
The Quincy mine reports an output OF
over LIS tons for the month of July. AT
the mill the system Of stamping has been
changed at three heads and 1t is likely the
other heads will be changed. James Shields

Work at the Arcadian mine Is confined tc

I STATE WILL ACT
Milwaukee's Wreck Near Rhodes to
* g ~ BE Investigated. - s.-ssse


: DEs MOINEs, 1oWA-The state railway
commission will probably investigate the
causes Of the recent disastrous wreck on the
Milwaukee line near Rhodes. While the law
does not require the commission to investi-
gate accidents, the horror was one of such
proportions that the, commission feels i'm
PEELED to look into it., under the statute
which permits the board to have general SUI
pervision over the railroads of the state. The
law formerly required tho commission to in
yestigate each accident, but by an omission
that has never been satisfactorily accounted
for, the new code Of 1897 was found not to
contain this requirement. While the COM
mission has no power to punish subsequent
TO an investigation, its action will have moral
weight, as its findings will be printed in its
report, s, and, 3 If warranted, q rebuke will be
administered to the company. 81 /
P IA year ago. in the annual geological report,
Professor Samuel Calvin took the wind out OF
the sails of those persons who, from, time to
time have made supposedly rich discoveries
OF gold in Iowa. He pointed why the geo
logical formation OF Iowa made it impossible
for extensive deposits Of rich ores to be found
in this state.z In the tenth annual report,
now ready for issue, Professor Calvin has
FOLLOWED this up by showing why there is mo
hope for extensive finds Of gas or oil in the
state. He shows, in the first place, that num-
herless tests discourage the idea. More than

Hope to Affect the Market.

HOUGHTON, MICH.-The partial closing
down of the Isle Royale and Osceola mines
Ii thought to be due to desire on the part
of the eastern management to affect the
stool. market or reduce the production Of
copper That the reductions in forces were
brought about by necessity Is certainly not
the case The Isle Royale has been earning
a net profit on its production, and the Osce-
ola has been making money also.
The Franklin mine made trihe more than
400 tons of mineral last month, TINS Delng
the largest production ever secured in the
history Of the mine during its forty years OF
life, The old Franklin Is now shipping about
1880 tons of rock daily, 'of which some 800
tons is from the conglomerate openings at the
Junior and about $50 tons from the PeWabic
amygdaloid lode at the old mine. ,~.s
I The search for the Baltic lode south of the
Champion mine is being continued with dia-
n1ond drills, but the heavy overburden Of
mixed sand and boulders makes the work
slow and costly. A tunnel under Lake Su-
perior for the intake pipe Of the Adventure s
new mill Is nearing completion, having made
q distance of about thousand feet Inc
Rock Lake mine, on Georgian Bay, Canada,
is shipping, two carloads OF ore weekly 10
the smelter at Dollar Bay.
Friends Of the Michigan are much inter-
ested In the size Of the big mass OF native
copper recently encountered In the Drancn
vein Some seventeen tons of virgin metal
have been chipDed off the parent mass and
hoisted, and it is impossible to estimate how
much remains. This is the largest mass
found in the lake district for years., and
brings forth "reminiscences OF the olden days,
when enormous masses were taken from the
fissure and contact veins of Ontonagon and
Keweenaw counties.
The Calumet & Hecla is not manifesting
any great eagerness in the equipment of Its
shafts on the Osceola lode, on which some
twenty miles of underground openings have
: been made It Is not at all probable that
the management would open mine on the
Osceola, if the work had not been done al
ready, but the mine Is there, and is not
worthless. It is not rich mine but now
that it is opened and will soon be fully
equipped, it can make copper at small
profit on the basis Of a 12-cent market.

BIG YEAR FOR ORE

yvarded to Date-RepubIic Sold.
DULUTH, MINN.-More than 10000. 900 tons
OF ore have been shipped from the upper
lakes to eastern and Chicago furnaces this
year to date. OF this 1850, 900 tons have come
from Minnesota mines, greater proportion
than in any past year. 1t Is evident that
there may be moved during the full season
OF navigation more than 24,0O0,0oo tons If
there Is need of so raach, and 1t now looks
as though there would be. This will be
IL per cent more than the year before, which
was by far the biggest year on record. Last
month the Sault canal alone passed ore to
the amount of 3,ooo,000 gross tons.
The Clergue syndicate, which is operating
on the Canadian side the lake. has just
bought out Pickands. Mather & Co., who have
held iron ore locations close to the Clergue
Helen mine since the Michipicoten range was
first found. Several other locations near by
have also been purchased, making the
Clergues the sole owners in that region. They
have shipped from the Helen OK, 600 tons Of
ore so far this year.

Of the range and is expanding wonderfully.
Ferdinand Schlesinger, a famous iron man
Of the Menominee and Gogebic ranges, has
cleared off an immense load of debt incurred
at the time Of the panic Of 1893, and Is now
mining more heavily than ever.
The old Felsh Mountain region, that has
been abandoned for years. is coming into
activity again and Is now being prospected.
The Republic mine of the Marquette range
has been sold to the cambria Steel COM
pany for 81 800, 900. The mine is not large, but
its ore is the highest grade mined in the
world. running up to 6S per cent and SO per
cent In iron. It has been opened for about
fifty years. The Cambria Steel company is
the owner OF the Penn mines at Norway and
OF half the enormous Mahoning mine at
Hibbing.
About all the 500 miners let out at copper
mines in the Michigan region on account of
the low price OF copper, have found work In
iron mines on the Mesaba and Vermillion
ranges. Some of the copper mines are sorely
put to 1t now to make both ends meet with
copper at IL cents and likely to stay there
and they are reducing forces at wholesale.
Their miners are skilled men and are in de-
mand elsewhere.
