AFTER A FOOIHOLD
Amalgamated Company Likely to

Deal Will Take in the Baltic Which
Is an Exceptionally Prom
Using Property.
Special to The Journal.

Special to The Journal.
Houghton, Mich. Feb. Cit has not
been announced, and the deal may not
have been contaminated but there are
many indications leading to the belief that
the Amalgamated Copper company Is
finally acquiring foothold In the lake
copper district and will soon own, if it
does not already own, the Champion mine
In the case Of the Champion it will be
necessary to buy control In a rather
roundabout way. as the company is close
corporation, the stock being held half and
half by st. Mary's Mineral Land COM
pany and the Copper Range. Consolidated
company.
In order to buy ST. Mary's half it will
be necessary to invest incidentally in
about 100000 acres Of undeveloped min
eral lands, while possession Of the half
owned by the Copper Range requires the
purchase also of a land and development
company owning about 10000 acres on the
mineral belt, a flfty-five-mile railroad and
another copper mine.
AS the other copper mine In question is
the Baltic. an exceptionally promising
property. this acquisition would not be
distasteful to the Amalgamated i'll all
likelihood. The Champion itself is taking
everything into consideration, second in
value only to the Calumet & Hecla, pros
pectively, in the lake district, and is Ger
tain to become an enormous producer. It

|. In any estimates of 1908 copper produc-
ton, allowance must be made for an in
crease Of 10000, 900 to 5O0OO,0O0 pounds
from the lake mines, which will be much
the largest increase ever secured in a
single year. There is every Indication
that the lake mines will make more than
200, 900, 900 pounds Of refined metal this
year, for the first time in the history of
the district.
| The Franklin is producing at the rate
of 375 to 400 tons of mineral month,
| equivalent to between 5000, 600 and 5000,
600 pounds of ingot yearly, which is a
| much larger production than ever in the
past. The sinking of the second shaft on
| the conglomerate lode at the Franklin
Junior mine is to be begun soon.,
| The January mineral product of the
Mohawk was 347 tons, as compared with
$50 tons for December, the first month
in which the mill was run. The Mohawk
should get up to a monthly output of SOC
tons within the next six months, and witt
the third stamp in commission SHOULD
reach $50 tons a month within a year.
Stamp Addition Almost Ready.
The six-stamp addition to the Hecla mil
| Of the Calumet & Hecla is almost ready
to go into commission. With this addi
ton the mills will have twenty eigh
steam stamps with a combined capacit,
of about 5000 tons of rock daily.

ADA, MINN.-Citzens and the Iron

heads over the question Of the rates
charged for the use Of telephones. The
first week in January the business men
CIRCULATED petition asking that the rate
be reduced from $3.50 and $3.50 to 81 and
81. The petition was very generally signed
but the company refused to consider it on
the ground that 1t was barely making 6
per cent on its investment now.
The citizens, desiring to meet the COM
pany half way. then secured thirty nine
new subscribers. and made another re-
quest for reduction. This the company
also refused and this week about half of

GOOD FAITH LACKING
Railroad Company Was Right In Refusing
to Redeem Tickets.

to Redeem Tickets.
DIES MONIES, IOWA-The supreme
court to-day decided that a railroad com
pany has the right to refuse to redeem
tickets purchased of it but remaining I'M
used in the hands Of the purchasers.
o. j. jolly of Rand iowa. brought suit
against the Milwaukee, asserting that the
road refused to redeem sixteen tickets
that he had purchased and had not used.
The state law provides that the refusal
of the road to redeem a ticket makes 1T
liable to forfeit of $500 to the person
purchasing the ticket.
In the course of the suit it appeared that
Jolly had purchased the tickets with no
intention Of using them, but merely with
the intention of demanding this forfeit,
when the road refused to redeem them.
The court holds he was not acting in good
faith and cannot claim the forfeit.
