GRAPHITE CONTRACT.
James Grace, OF L'Ause, Will
Mine 400 Tons for the
Detroit Co.

The Detroit Graphite company
has awarded contract TO James
Grace, of L'Anse, to get out 400
tons Of graphite ore. The ore will
be taken from the company's mine,
about ten miles south of L'Anse.
and delivered to the Duluth, South
Shore & Atlantic's railroad spur,
which branches in toward the old
Taylor iron mine. The wagon haul
is about five miles.
The Detroit Graphite company's
ore is extracted from an open pit.
1t was foi merly possible to drive in
and load the material on the wagons
direct from the hillside. But as the
surface deposit was exhausted and
greater depth attained, q deep
trench was cut through one Of the
walls of the deposit. This trench is
wide enough to admit wagon,
which can thus drive into the pit
and load the ore. 1t also furnished
drainage to the workings. The de-
post has now been worked to a
depth Of about twenty five feet.
The surface dip Of the graphite de-
posit was in a direction trending
under the wall through which the
trench has been driven. But depth
has demonstrated that the forma.
ton is folded and that the dip show
ing at surface changes is angle,
and the main deposit of graphite is
not where it was originally sup
posed to be.
The Detroit company uses its
graphite exclusively for paint manu-
facture, the works being located in
Detroit. The graphites from the
deposits furnishes u very superior
article for the manufacture of paint.

BASKET BALL.
Game Came to An Abrupt End
Last Saturday
Evening.


A fair-sized audience assembled
in the Town Hall last Saturday
evening to witness game OF basket
ball between the L'Anse girls
teams, "Reds" and "Blues. f" The
contest was lively and interesting,
the score being unusually close.
At nearly the close of the first
half, the ball came in contact with
one Of the large lamps suspended
from the ceiling, turning it over
in the wire cage Tor netting) which
surrounded it, and the stream of
oil issuing from the lamp took fire.
A number of people in the gallery
rushed from the hall, but the ma
jority remained, as there was no
immediate danger, and the fire was
quickly extinguished.
The oil on the floor prevented
continuance OF the game, and
another contest will doubtless take
place in the near future.
When the accident occurred, the
score stood 10 to 8 in favor of the
HReds ~

Items of Interest Taken From

Condensed.

Chief Van Wyck says that dun ing
the years that he has been at the
head of the Sault Ste. Marie fire de-
partment he has not seen it so cold
as it is this winter. Never before
has he seen so many frozen hydrants
and laterals. The mains seem to be
all right in allparts OF the city, but
the pipes leading to buildings are
causing considerable trouble. The
chief is of the opinion that the
worst is yet to come, as the frost is
just beginning to get down to where
the pipes are. At some places at
the 500 the ground is frozen to
depth OF six feet
Joseph Liberty, Of Newberry, has
adopted a novel scheme for manu-
featuring perfectly pure and crystal
like ice. Last fall he made an ex-
cavation four feet deep by about
20x30, putting in a concrete bottom
and plastering the sides with clay,
and erecting a covering over it to
keep off the snow. To it he attached
"a half-inch pipe connected with the
city water works, and is now manu-
featuring ice of crystalline purity.
AS soon as ice forms TO the depth of
eighteen inches it is cut into blocks
and delivered to his customers. The
ice is Of much better quality than
that obtained from the river, being
perfectly pure and free from snow.
