Recent Developments Said to
Show Bright Outlook
for the Property.
LOCATED SOUTH OF L,ANsE.
Marquette People Interested
In the Exploratory
Work.

The old Taylor iron mine, located
about eight miles south of L'Anse,
on section 9, town 49, range 80, is
being re.opened, and recent develop.
ments are said to give bright
promise for the future. Thomas
Tracy, <of Marquette, and others
have been conducting exploratory
work in the vicinity of the old
diggings for several months past,
and the result is that what is said
to be q rich vein of ore has been
discovered.
The Taylor mine was closed down
about twenty years ago. after a
period OF activity during which
some Of the finest ore ever mined
was taken out. During the period
of operation the ore was carried to
L'Anse from which point it was
shipped by boat.
At the time operations were dis
continued, about 1883, it was
thought that the mine was but a
pocket" and that it had petered
out, but the recent explorations
disclose other and larger bodies OF
the same class of Bessemer ore.

Want a Federal Building.

A movement is on foot at Es.
canada whereby it. is hoped that
congress may be induced to make
an appropriation for federal build
ing in that city. The Municipal
league decided some time ago to
take the matter up, and broached
the subject to Congressman H. o.
Young, who has said he believes
Escanaba is entitled to a federal
building, and that he will do all he
can to get an appropriation through
congress. The government has
never been called apon to expend a
dollar at Escanaca, despite the fact
that it is one Of the greatest inland
shipping ports and has one of the
finest harbors on the lakes.

Items Of Interest Taken From
Our Exchanges and
Condensed.

| The Ontonagon Lumber & Cedar
company has purchased the Choate
mill and will move it to Ontonagon
and erect it on the old Diamond
Match site on the west side of the
river. The task OF dismantling the
plant has been commenced and the
work will be pushed vigorously.
The company now has about 2,00O,- :
600 feet OF pine logs in the river
which will be cut this season If it Is
possible to get the mill running in
time. This is said to be one of the
best and largest sawmill plants in
the upper peninsula and is practi-
cally as good as new. 1t was in
stalled at Choate about six years
ago by the Oshkosh Log & Lumber
company. After this concern had
finished cutting its logs there was
no further use for the mill at that
point and the Ontonagon company
was able to secure it at a bargain.
The mill has capacity Of 250, 1000
feet every twenty-four hours. The
Ontonagon Lumber & Cedar COM
pany is capitalized at 100000. It's
stockholders are F. E. Rowley, of
Port Allegany, Pa; ]. H. Hurd, of
Buffalo; John Hawley and D. J.
Norton, of Ontonagon. The CON-
pany is steadily acquiring timber
land, and while the officials are
reticent about how much has been
purchased, yet enough timber has
been secured to warrant the es-
tablishment of a big industry.
There is still much standing timber
in Ontonagon county and Ontonagon
is the most feasible outlet for it.
Prosecuting Attorney w. R..
Adams, of Ontonagon county, who
is in Mt. Clemens for medical treat
ment, in letter says: 'There are
10000 rheumatic people at Mt.
Clemens from all over the world
and there must be among them
5000 cripples, nearly every nation
ality being represented. There are
twenty-five large hotels and nearly
500 boarding houses and they all do
a thriving business, judging from
appearances.
Two miners, John Lang and John
Myers, were killed and several others
injured by the explosion of box Of
dynamite in the Hamilton Chaplin

BIG TIMBER CONSUMERS.
Lake Superior Copper Mines
Using Tens OF Millions Of
Feet Annually.

The great quantity OF timber used
underground in some of the mines
OF the copper country can be
imagined from the fact that the
Calumet q Hecla uses sometimes
3O,OOO,00O feet per year of 12x12
pine, which is framed by machinery
and put in in square sets. The com.
pany conducts extensive logging
camps Of its own, employing large
force of men at its camps in Chip
pewa county during the winter get
ting out pine timber, the logs being
towed in the summer to Lake
Linden for preparation for use in
the mine workings.
The Tamarack is another mine
where vast amount of timber is
necessary to hold up the hanging
wall.

Continued from Page One

best-opportunity to secure rail-
road and prevent by the allurement
of false promises, by outright,
monstrous misstatements of fact and
by the foolish cooperation of mis-
guided citizens of this city the con-
summation OF the deal with the
Lott railroad company. e
1t is ineonceivable THAI any man
of sound business judgment would
credit the practicableness of the
Southern Pacific offer, or that any
man whose interests would be en-
HANGED by railroad and who there
fore should be a friend to Browns
vile, with these facts before him,
would believe for moment in the
honesty of purpose of the Southern
Pacific and lend his personal in
fuence to a scheme of such OBJ
vious harmful intent as the pro-
position of Mr.. Monserrate to build
the extension from Alice.
Yet this is what our well-known
citizens, Messrs. Kelly and Carson
have done. In the very nature of
their acts they prove themselves
unfriendly to the best interests of
Brownsville. 1t may be that they
do not realize what they do. 1t is
not for us to Judge. OF their pur-
poses we can say nothing, but of
their public acts we are willing to
leayeit TO any unbiased person as to
the whether they are not now THE
ONLY oBsTAcLEin the way of Browns
vile, securing a railroad within
ffteel months.
The thing for them TO do is to
leave off from having anything to
do with the Lott project. Let them
take their treaeherous hands away
from the business of the people of
Brownsville. They have instigated
Interference by the Southern Pa
cific with 4 deal which was prac-
tically closed for a railroad But
the people will rebuke them The
bonus WILL BE RAISED and Browns
vile will get a railroad, in spite of
her betrayers.

out other roads, the advantages TO
the people here would be negative
in character, for again the interests
of the Southern Pacific would COM
pei them to place such obstacles in
the way of quick shipments that
the products of this section would
not come in competition with the
shipments from Southern Califor-
MIA.
But with the St. Louis, Browns
vile and Mexico railroad the
circumstances are entirely different
Their interests would be identical
with the interests of the people of
this section. They would afford as
quick connection with the Eastern
markets as the Southern Pacific
and it would be to their interests to
improve the facilities continuously
instead of putting obstacles in the
way of the freight shipments from
here.
Colonel Lott gave other interest
ing and valuable explanations, but
space and time forbid our publish
ing them.

THE RAILROAD MEETING.
What Was Said and Done Saturday
Night.

y
room Saturday evening was more
of an experience meeting than any
thing else. But little, if any, action
of a practical nature was done
Speeches were made by Chairman
Hill, Maj Armstrong and Col.
Lott.
The different committees had
nothing to report of much i'm
portance, and the meeting adjourn
ed to reconvene at some time in the
! the future.
Colonel Lott explained very
clearly and plausibly the reasons
why the Southern Pacific company
does not want to build into Browns
Vile, and why they will not. AT
the same time he expressed himself
las not at all unfriendly to the
Aransas Pass railroad. He said
that he believed the resources of
this section of the country were
varied and great enough to sup
port two railroads from the begin
ming, and would of course increase
in ability with the increase of
development. He said he was not
opposing the building of the Aran-
sas Pass, nor antagonizing it in
anyway; that he would be glad to
aid it in its efforts to come to
Brownsville, if he thought it was
really the intention of that compa-
ny TO build the line they propose.
But his knowledge of the history
and policy of the Southern Pacific
company together with their
financial condition, convinced him
that their offer TO build into
Brownsville is nothing but huge
bluff to prevent the consummation
of the plans of his associates and
himself.
He told the audience that the in
terests of the Southern Pacific we're
altogether opposed to their build
ing further south from Alice, hence
that company would not think OF
doing so. He explained that the
Southern Pacific has about four
thousand miles of road over which
it hauls the products of Southern
California; that it has cultivat-
ed that field closely and en-
Joys a monopoly of the business
in the freight lines to and from
that State. He further explained
that the lower Rio Grande valley, /
if properly developed, would be a
competitor of such capacity that,
with suitable railway facilities, it
would soon forge away ahead of
Southern California, and then the
profitable freight business now done
by the Southern Pacific would be
cult off very materially.
This is just what the Southern
Pacific does not want to see. 1t is
decidedly to the interest of that
company to prevent the lower Rio
Grande valley from developing as
it is capable of doing, for this valley
is three thousand miles nearer the
Eastern markets than Southern
California, and fruit and truck of
all kinds mature earlier, hence we
would soon have the advantage,
and the Southern Pacific would not
realize but little, comparatively, in
the way of freight receipts from
this section.
This is why that company does
not want to build into and develop /
this section. The reason is plain |
and. really iustifable, for it is
simply business matter. 1t would
not be good business policy for the
Southern Pacific to develop the
