THE CALUMET SYSTEM.

Endless repetition renders the so when those details are irreyocably coupled with the material prosperity of a community. Such situation is found in the case of the great Calu- met system. Every day brings forth. not sensation but adds to a record of unparalleled success fin the field of industrial development. With more than a half dozen four compartment working shafts reaching steadily away toward the great center of ter resual gravity and the industrious diamond drill reconnoitering like a drilled skirmisher in advance of the mighty column of mining progress, and with unparalleled resources un- der ground coupled with unlimited finances on the surface, no wonder the Michigan people are making record which is the surprise and envy Of the commercial world.
 The Lake Superior & Pittsburg SUD- plies the latest sensation. Day after day, week after week and year after year the Hoatsons with affable Jack ID the lead, labored, and planned and delved, until the greatest body of ore perhaps, in the district, was stripped, ,, defined and laid bare to enrich the promoter and challenge the astonish. ment of the veteran miner. This was In No. 2. After several weeks of ex- pioraton, the great find is greater still. The initial conditions are im- proving every hour, and every pre- paration is in progress to convert the development system into a producing system. It costs immensely to handle water, but what care the owners Of this wonderful property, when per haps one train load of ore covers ex- penses for months and months of iaborious endeavor. The No. bids 1alr to outstrip, the already wonder ful record already established by he dinerent producers in this motchless district. and the beginning is only in sight.
 In the meantime, the company is ready with every facility at hand to resume sinking on the No. 3, to a | level corresponding to the 1000 on ! the No. ?, when they will drift to the No. 2, in the course of which they | will uncover the newly discovered ore body in all its richnes sand immen. | sity.

Water has been encountered, which at pres. ent is being handled by buckets Ship ping receipts have been received of the pumps for this company, which are on the way from Pittsburg.

 Charley Broadbeck is up from the Marquette and reports all kinds of water. It is difficult to handle with bucket, and steps will be promptly taken to provide for controlling the flow in the shaft.

At the Calumet & Pittsburg. work on the new shaft is progressing beau. tifully. >The shaft is situated in the confluence. of the Bisbee branch and the c. &. A. spur only a few hundred feet from the Pittsburg hoisting plant There is nothing unusual in the con. diuons attending this work to dis. tinguish it from former operations at a corresponding stage the Calumet & Arizona people simply know that they have it." and are preparing to handle it and land the prize. Little will be done at the old hoisting works until the new shaft shall have been con- pleted. Years ago a diamond drill per formance was pulled off near the sight of the new shaft and the prob- abilities are that the company can as- suredly predict the depth at which they will strike water and ore re- spectively.
 properties in course of development are the Junction, the Oliver, and the Duluth. In the last two eventual suc- cess is practically assured by virtue Of their situation. Quiet, energetic work is in progress on all of them. Tn case of the Junction the fact that diamond drill work has been carried on all around the big shaft, and the further fact that the shaft is being finished in first class working form would lead to the conclusion that the management expected to hoist a few fortunes out of it before the end of a generation.

This would naturally incline one to the conclusion that the showing in the original property is i'm proving at every step, and the con- pany were depending on a successful result from their numerous develop ment enterprise.

MAKE CEMENT PRODUCTS.

The machinery has been ordered
and will soon be in place for the man
ufacture of cement concrete blocks in
Clear Lake. The Page & Hill Co.
have started the movement but others
will be interested in the company
which will be known as the Clear
Lake Cement Stone Co. The use of
cement in building operations has
passed the experimental stages and in
different parts of the country there
are to be seen houses, factories, etc.
built of it, They even make cement
fence posts. The growing scarcity of
lumber and its consequence high
price, has made it necessary that there
should be serious study of what shall
take it's place. 1t looks as if GENE mt
had great future before it.-Mirror.

MODERN TOURIST CAR.

Irene G.. Adams of the Cresco Times
is taking a western trip and writes to
her paper enroute to the coast of the
modern tourist cars which are now
much used by travellers. She says:
A tourist car is a primitive home on
wheels. This is my first experience
with one, however, and perhaps |
shall not be so we'll pleased with it
at the end of a 90-hour ride. A big
range gives an opportunity to cook
anything desired. This morning,
coffee, tea, potatoes and eggs simmer
ed at the same time for several differ
ent families. The colored porter only
builds fire in the range and puts up
little table for each section, the
travellers provide their own pro visions
and prepare their own meals. A
large sink near the range offers a
place to wash dishes. A dining car
affords meals for one dollar each TO
those who enjoy eating one dollar
meals, which. l think, will include
this entire party when the contents of
the lunch baskets become stale.

ONE OF MANY.

A man living near here, old enough
to know better, being GO or over, who
had accumulated a small property
after life time of toil-S0 acre farm
and city residence property was in
weighed by land agent not long since
into a trade for northern Minnesota
land. The trade took the farm and
the house and lot and about 5000 in
money from the old man and was con-
cluded without his ever seeing the
Minnesota land. When he did see it,
he found he was the owner of LOG
acres of inaccessible tamarack swamp,
not worth 10 cents an acre. Rockford

MISSING MAN LOCATED.

Frank Forester, the missing Vance

Kansas through local i'll Eudora
paper stating that he was visiting a
friend there Aug. 6. 1t is a little
relief to know that he is alive, says
the Sentinel, but it looks worse for
him. 1t has every appearance of
desertion and those who know the cir
misunderstanding his family with
only 40 cents and his wife in deli
cate condition-are not slow in express
sing their opinion of his action, ant
it is not complimentary to him. Mrs.
Forrester's father, Mr.. Strain, came
up from Manchester Monday and had
her pack up the household goods and
return home with him. They went

WHERE is The BEER A.?

According to story in circulation,
couple of barrels of beer came here
few days ago for a resident of this
town. An employe of a dray firm,
receipted for the goods and took them
out of the car, but never delivered
them. He states the prohibitionists
got after him and in order to evade
them. dumped both barrels in the
river. Probably that accounts for the
large number who have been fishing
lately. -Esthervill Republican.

week which was very successful
affair. The show was originated by
the ladies OF Independence, who max g
a large sum of money from the exhibi-
ton which they devote to maintaining
and identifying lakewood cemetery,
and the object is such laudable one
that the whole community shows its
loyalty by quitting business and at

thousand dollars. There were exhibit
lions of all classes and grades of

besides there was floral parade that

SAVE WORK FOR BEES.

We had the pleasure OF visiting
Schlatter's apiary last Thursday and
watch the process of extracting honey
without breaking the comb. The caps
are first shaved off the comb and then
placed in a machine and the rotary
motion throws the honey from the
comb leaving it intact. 1t is then
replaced in the hives and refilled by
the bees, thus saving the little workers
many days of hard labor, by not
having to build the comb. The process
was new one to us. --Iawler Dispatch.

DUBUQUE IN DANGER.

The land on which the city of Du-
buque now stands is claimed by a
French woman, who lives at Pepperell,
Mass according to a letter received
by Mayor Berg today. The claimant
is Madame o. Provencher di Valerie
Boisvert, and she writes that she has
legal claim to the land by reason of
the fact that it is granted to q man
named Boisvert, her grandfather S
brother, by King Louis, of France, as
reward tor serving twenty years in
the army. The claimant asks the
mayor to tell her the best way in
which to proceed in the matter. Ac-
cording..to her story, away back in the
nineteenth century. King Louis. of
France, made a number of land grants
to soldiers who had served twenty
years or more in the army. To M.
Boisvert was granted the land around
Dubuque.
