NEW MILL ENTERPRISES.
Andrew Nelson and c. c. Campbell
Each Have Intentions Of Erecting a
Saw Mill.

Two setitions were presented to the
council at its meeting last Monday
night. The first one was from Andrew
Nelson who asked for lease upon the
strip Of land belonging TO the city and
lying along the east side of the Paint
River above the 9 a. N w railroad
bridge. Mr.. Nelson stated in his re-
quest that he wanted the land 10 erect
a saw mill upon and that he is willing
to pay an annual rental of 800 per
year for the privilege. We under
stand that Mr.. Nelson has other parties
interested with him who are willing
to put up the money for small mill
to be erected at the point mentioned.
The petition was referred to COM
mittee and will be granted without
doubt.
The second petition was in the nat
ure of an offer for the boilers, engine
and engine house at the old water
works, and was made by Chas. G..
Campbell. who intends to erect saw
mill on the land il he can make the
purchase according to the lines he
mentioned. He has interested with
him a man from Green Bay, who is a
practical mill man and with Mr..
Campbell's experience in the woods
the venture ought to be success
Since writing the above we have
been told that there is deal on to
compromise between the two parties
and that Mr.. Nelson will withdraw in
favor of Mr.. Campbell. Mr.. Nelson
has been advocating saw mill for
this place for a number of years and
he is willing to do anything reason
able to bring the establishing of one
about.

Keeper Burbank wrote to some Cf the
members of the Crystal Falls tent an
outline OF blowout which he pro-
posed TO hold at Spread Eagle Lake.
The locals mistook the letter for an
acknowledgment of defeat and gave a
Diamond Drill reporter an interview
in which il was stated that the Iron
Mountain fellows had thrown up the
sponge.
Immediately upon the appearance of
the article the fur began to fly down
at the Mountain. The Maccabees were
hot under the collar and they, each
and everyone of them gritted their
teeth and vowed defeat for the Crystal
Falls fellows for "that Diamond Drill

gain in membership and the say down
