LABOR SHORTAGE
BEING FELT HERE
MINING LABOR IS ATTRACTED TO
THE WOODS BY HIGHER WAGES.
MUCH WOODS WORK IN SIGHT
Many Small Jobbers are Going in For
both Cordwood and Hardwood Log
ging Of All Kinds.

There Is shortage OF miners all
along the range but especially In the
Crystal Falls district said a mining
superintendent 10 a Diamond Drill
reporter the other day. "At all OF
the Pickands- Mather mines now in
operation, there has existed a short
age OF miners during the greater part
of the year. At the Tobin mine OF
the Corrigan-McKinney group there
is also a shortage and 4 am informed
that, at the mines down the line
where there has been any increased
demand, there is shortage OF miners
This condinion is being emphasized
just now by the large number OF men
that are going into the woods for
winters work, attracted there by the
increased wages that are being paid.
understand that 1872 per month and
board is being offered now with the
changes Of an increase unless the de-
mand Is supplied soon. That is a
better wage than Is ruling at the
mines.
"lt is probable that, were the con-
ditions understood outside, there
would be sufficient influx OF labor here
TO make up the demand at the pres
ent time as there will soon be a slack
ing of on the MeSabi range and at
many other places"
The labor shortage noted in the
foregoing is attributable 70 another
cause than the competition OF the
woods work and that Is the great
exodus of foreigners to the old coun-
tries during the past summer. Steer
age passage was remarkably low the
past season and great many returned
for visit Go the old home. They
.MilL.al be coming back again as soon
as conditions improve again here.

There Is to be an increase in woods
work this winter over that OF last and
the harvest this year will be larger
than for many years. The hardwood
industry is on the increase and will
continue TO grow until every stick Of
the immense forests about us Is con-
sumed. The cOrdwood industry is
larger today than year ago aud
everyone who can get hold Of forty
and team Is going into the business.
Ii will employ over two hundred men
alone in the neighborhood of Crystal
Falls this winter. Among the largest
operators are J. Il. Gibson * Co. and
John Hasselstrom, both Of whom will
work as strong this winter as last.
Gust Pintella, the Ponchaud brothers,
Or A. NJ. Darling and several others
will also be cutting wood again this
winter in Increased volume.
Taken as whole the immediate
future of Crystal Falls looks very en-
couraging.

The people of Pentoga have been
working hard for the past three years
TO get telephone communications

at last about succeeded. The com-
pany has consented to put in line for
them. the people Of Pentoga guaran-
teeing to take 5000 worth OF coupon
books. Last Friday Ralph Griswold
came 20 Crystal Falls and canvassed
the town for subscriptions to the 'cou-
pom fund" and he met with good
response from the business men of the
city. The firm Of II. q. Hood X Co.,
subscribed To $500 worth of the cou-
pons and II was proposed 90 make up
the balance Of the amount In the
three towns OF Florence, Crystal Falls
and Iron River
Evidently Mr.. Grswold succeeded
in his effort for on Tuesday last Mai.a-
ger Maccomber informed a reporter
for the Diamond Drill that Crystal
Falls people will be able % talk with
PentOga before the winter sets in.
1t is not known vet whether Crystal
Fails, Florence or Iron River will be

that the line will cut In at Stager and
that Crystal Falls will do the switch

The Calumet base ball team came To-
Crystal Falls last Friday night and
played with the locals on Saturday
and Sunday. The Saturday game was
as good an exhibition 0f the game as
has been seen on the local grounds
this year. Glenn and Croze were In
the points for the locals and Busy and
Mutter for Calumet. Both pitchers
were effective, Calumet getting six
hits of Glenn, all singles, and the
locals pulling out four doubles and a
single of Busy. The locals had the
game won until, In the seventh inning
stupid playing allowed Calumet to
score two runs getting the lead on
them. Glenn pitched magnificent
game and had the heavy hitters from
the metropolis at his mercy. II was
an ideal day for base ball bat the at
tendance was very poor.
Busy, for Calumet, pitched good
game and got elegant support. Nut
ter, who is considered the best back
stop in the peninsula, supported him
perfectly.
The score by innings was:
23 3 81 Or III T.
Calumet. 20 200 3 2

The Sunday game was a slugging
match in which Calumet had the best
OF the argument. Bies and Croze
were In the points for the locals and
Foulks and Mutter for Calumet.
Calumet made III hits of Bies while
the locals rolled up 10 off Foulks Me-
Kivett, the first man up for Calumet,
caught the second ball pitched on the
end OF his club and hoisted IL over the
lett held fence for a homer. 1t was
the first ball ever put over that fence.
The Calumet fellows are all large
men and good Stickers, especially
when a speedy pitcher is against them.
