DYR AND ENGINE HOUSE BURNED
Last Tuesday morning about 500
o'clock a. IN. the fire whistle blew at
the Dunn arousing the people Of that
locality out of their early morning
maps. The trouble was located at the
new shaft of the Dunn wnere the
small building that covered the hoist
ing engine and served as an engine
house, blacksmith shop and dry was
found to be on fire. The fire had
gained such Roadway when discovered
that even the most untiring efforts of
the workmen failed to put it out and
the building was completely destroyed
with the contents thereof.
Ii is not known just how the fire
originated but it is thought to have
been communicated from the little
addition used as a dry house by the
men at work in the shaft. 1t is pro-
liable that candle was left burning
and that it communicated its flame to
the boards of the building which
were as dry as finder and burned
easily.
The machinery in the engine house
was all destroyed but it was very
small and Of Anticipated type so the
loss in that direction is not great.
The greatest loss is in the interruption
that it gives to the work at the mine
but even that has been reduced to the
minimum by the improyised engine
house that has been pressed into ser
vice and the small plant that wac
rushed to the scene from one of the
other mines.
The company is figuring on put ting
the big hosting plant into commission
in very short time 50 that not much
was done in the way of permanency
in the setting of the new plant.

THE NEW STAMPS.

The new postage stamps of the series
Of 1902 have been received at the
Crystal Falls postoffice, but not many
of them have yet been given out. This
issue contains a thirteen-cent stamp,
a denomination that was never before
issued by the government
The stamp is slate color, and, like
all other stamps of this issue, has the
dates of the birth and death of the
preson whose face is pictured thereon.
The name of the person is also given
under the picture, departure that
may become very instructive to many
intelligent persons who have wondered
who the pictures on some stamps re-
present. In the case of this l3-cent
stamp the portrait is that of the late
deceased president, Benjamin Harrison.
The particular reason for making
i3-cent stamp was to have a single
stamp that would cover the postage
and registration fee to foreign coun-
tries
Every stamp in the series 1902
has a different frame around the
portrait, needless as such extra labor
may seen to common folks. II will be
noticed in the following list that with
the exception of the l3-cent stamp,
there is no stamp made in an old
number above cents. At one time,
twenty TO thirty years ago, there was
7-cent stamp, which held protrait
of Secretary Stanton.
This series 1902 will include fifteen
different kinds. Only eight of them
have yet been issued. They are the
one, two three, four, five, eight and
thirteen cent stamps and the special
delivery stamp Notice that the high
est denomination is a 50 stamp in this

A Wisconsin ANGLER claims to have
made an important discovery in quest
for rain bow trout. He found a fine
pool, evidently containing many rain
bows, but was unable to bring single
trout to the surface Returning late
in the afternoon, he spent another
hour without results Trout were oc-
casionally rising, but would not touch
bait
Determined TO land some of the big
fish, he returned the third time after
sundown. The first cast, with WORMS
for bait brought in a fine brainbow Of
two pounds weight For half an ho1r
the trout took bait in one, two. three
order, and were rayenous Frequent
tests on following days proved that
rainbows will take bait after shutdown.
and more than that, that where the
fishing is only moderately good during
the day the best results are TO be
looked for after the sun goes down.

TROUT HEIGHTENED BY LAW

The new fish law adds an inch to
the length of trout. This is as it
should be. The trout has nearly al
ways been one inch too short By
signing the trout statute Gov. Bliss
has heightened him to seven inches
whereas he was formerly six inches.
Say what you will of Gov. Bliss S
friendship for certain railroads, that
inch on the tail of a trout compensates
for much extortion. The frying pan
was never well graced with six inch
trout. Detroit Tribune.
