TO GO DOWN A THOUSAND FEET
The Main Producing Shaft Of the Chaplin
Mine to Attain That Depth,

Mine to Attain That Depth.
ISHPEMING, MICH.-The largest shaft
ever opened in the iron mining country is
being sunk at the Chaplin mine, the big
property of the Oliver Mining company,
subsidiary to the steel trust at Iron
Mountain. It Is more than twenty-four
feet square and is to be sunk to a depth
of 1000 feet. It Is to become the main
producing shaft at the mine. It will be
absolutely fire proof and will be sur
mounted by a great fire proof shaft house.
The sinking of this great shaft which
Will cost several hundred thousand dol
lars is but one of the many costly i'm
provements being accomplished at the
steel trust mines in preparation for the
time when the profits in iron ore mining
will not be as large as now.
The Palms mine at Bessemer, which
has been a diminishing proposition for
some years, has finally opened into large
and valuable ore body, 400 feet from the
bottom Of the old No. / shaft, and the
company is now preparing to mine there
on a large scale. The newly discovered
deposit is but another indication Of the
persistence Of the Gogebic range ore
bodies, and it makes the old and about
exhausted Palms rich mine once more.
George Mas of Negaunee, the discov-
erer of the great ore deposits at what is
now known as the Mas mine, a property
at Negaunee, purchased from him for
$350,000, and now being developed by the
Cleveland Cliffs company, is in conjunc-
ton with John O'Callagan, the wealthy
lumberman of Sagola, preparing to do
some extensive exploratory work on Sec
ton 4, west Of the city of Norway, on the
Menominee range. The work will be done
with diamond drill, and it is proposed
to put down hole to depth of
thousand feet. The territory is consid-
cred promising and it is believed mine
of much value will be opened on the
property.
At the Aragon mine at Norway, one
Of the properties Of the Oliver Mining
company, an extensive system Of pneu-
matte underground haulage is being in
stalled. large compressors, a portion Of
the equipment now being in place. The
system will take the place Of tramming
by hand on certain of the levels, and later
will be still further extended. It will be
a great saving in time and labor over
the present method.
One of the most interesting papers to
be read at the session of the Lake Su-
perior Mining institute on the Marquette
range in August, which will be attended
by representative mining men from all
the Lake Superior ranges, will be one
from the pen of Chase S. Osborn of Sault
Ste. Marie. It will treat of Mr.. Osborn's
observations Of iron mining in Europe
and Asia, which countries he recently
visited especially to inspect various min
ing operations.

IOWA
REAL EQUALIZATION
Executive Council Of Iowa Likely to
Do Some Work in That
Line.
It Is Bitterly Opposed by the Rail-
roads, but the Law Seems
to Be Mandatory.
Special to The Journal.

Des Moines, Iowa, July 1.-THE atti.
tude of the executive council, now In ses-
sion as a state board of review in threat
en1ng to do a genuine job of equalizing
farm land values in Iowa, is causing no
end of perturbation among the railroad
representatives now gathered here for the
purpose of being heard on the railroad as
sessment. It Is also distressing to many
of the county authorities. The fact that
the council will take the position that
the law is mandatory and leaves nothing
for it to do but to make the taxable value
of property % per cent of the actual
value was plainly indicated by Governor
Cumn1ins at the closing part of the first
days hearing yesterday afternoon. After
reading the statute bearing on the sub
ject he said there was nothing for the
council to do under the law but to put
every county on a IS per cent basis as
nearly as possible.
This brought forth strenuous objections
from Judge j. G. Cook Of Cedar Rapids,
attorney for Iowa for the Milwaukee sys-
tenn. He held it was the wise policy to
keep the assessments low turnout the
state and that it would work a great
hardship to taxpayers to raise property
valuations for taxable purposes to Is per
cent of the actual value. His particular
reference was to farm land values. He
said if there was to be such an increase,
IL Oo udue gradually
It is obvious, of course, that the rail-
roads are Directing to the real estate as
sessment being showed up for the reason
that every increase in real estate valua-
ton means at least a corresponding in
crease In the railroad assessment. Should
the council actually follow the law 1t
would raise the real estate assessment
from two to three hundred millions more
than it now is. Already the assessors
have put it up nearly 20 per cent above
the 1901 assessment.
For the first time on record the county
authorities were largely represented at
the council yesterday. All sorts of pleas
were made as to why the assessment
should not be raised The council was
cited to more waste land, poor land,
rocky land and the like than anyone had
ever before supposed existed in the state
of Iowa. Some of the counties have
fixed the average value of land as low
as $50 per acre. There is the greatest
discrepancy between adjoining counties.
However. the council had a most novel
experience when it listened to the remarks
Of Calhoun county, This county had
frequently been referred to as a county
having much poor and low land Yet
this county has fixed the average value
at $50, and Mr.. Stonebreaker declared this
was too low. He said that of 352, 900
acres Of land in his county there was not
to exceed 1000 acres that could be bought
for $50 per acre.
Many of the county auditors and super
visors objected to an increase in the asS
sessment on farm lands over the preserA

is THIS A TRUST7
The American Lime Syndicate, with
Headquarters In Minneapolis, Buys
In New Ulm.


Headquarters In Minneapolis, Buys
In New Ulm.
NEW ULM, MINN.-Among the new
corporations forming is the American
Lime Syndicate, which has its headQuar-
tiers in Minneapolis, and Is capitalized by
Minneapolis capitalists. These men have
been represented in this city by A. Will
Iiams, who has made several trips In an
effort to buy up the two lime kins owned
by G. A. Stolz and Henry Winkleman.
These gentlemen have held out for some
time, and last week Mr. Stolz was In
duced by fattering overtures, to come to
terms, but the other man mas not 1ol-
lowed.
The lime that is found here Is very
pure, the only Objectionable feature be-
Ing a small quantity of aluminium that Is
found after Stacking. 1t is pure White
and sets quickly. and is used almost ex-
clusively in finishing work There is an
almost unlimited supply Of the stone,
and it lies so near the surface that the
matter of quarrying 1t not retarded by
foreign matter.
For years the two kilns have supplied
the wants Of this city and neighboring
places, but no effort has been made to
sell it out Of the city, and 1t Is the pur-
pose of the new company to develop 1t to
the fullest extent, for which purpose a
force Of 100 men will be employed and ad-
ditional kilns operated, so that the out
put will be in the neighborhood of $4,000
barrels yearly.
The attention Of the new company was
directed to this place thru the spect-
mems on exhibition at the state univer-
sity, and finding the kilns in operations
here they at once sought to buy them up.
1t is expected to supply southern Mime
sofa and the Dakotas from this place,
and the northern part Of the state will
be supplied from eastern kilns and from
Canada. The new organization will alb
sorb all the lime producing plants in the
state and have absolute control.
The Eagle Milling company Of this city
has appealed, thru their attorneys, Hoi-
dial & Comsen, to the railroad commits
sioners for a denial Of the the demands
made by the North Western and St
Louis roads for demurrage to the
amount of $415. The milling company Is
charged with 81 for every day or frac-
ton thereof the cars are permitted tc
stand on the track unloaded. To offset
this charge the mill company complains
that cars were not furnished at the time
agreed upon, and when they were set ir
on the track there would be several cars
when there should be but one or two and
1t was impossible to handle them. The
case will come before the commission or
the 18th.
