Editor County Recoru:-
VIII the county have to pay for
Ahat horse that fell in 1T the little
bridge at Paisley swamp and was
drowned? | heard that he horse
backed the buggy of the bridge and
one of the negroes had Il narrow cS-
cape with his life. Itis Il little bridge
but somebody said the water was SIT
deep. do not remember even If 1t
had any hand rails. And right
here let me say to our county com
missioners to always have, iii every
bridge hereafter repaired or con-
structed, line of 10 or Il inch
plank securely nailed to the inside
of the hand rail post, half way fjom
the top railing to the floor Of the
bridge, which is about the height of
the wheel hubs. 1t will prevent
the hubs from striking the post, and
give confidence to the horses and
safety to the riders; also strong rail
ings to every small bridge across Il
dangerous place. But don't, don't
DO like Marion county did in Pee
Dee swamp. She made Il long bridge
across wide lake and made it only
10 ft wide. One of my mules tried
to back a buggy of it once, and 1t
ruined yoke of oxen for Il Mr. Pow
ell and made my mules foolish about
crossing other bridges. But they
crossed the johnson Ferry bridge

plank nailed to the inner side Of the

also because it is 12 ft wIde-14

Another word to the supervisor: \

manned there until some help could

overseer should be required to put
a floor plank in every li'tle bridge

until they can be let for repairs.
Our little Stony Ran bridge has a
broken plank and Il hole, and l don't

New Exploration.

company. This land was explored by
mistake 10y McCusker & Brooks in 1891.
The latter got over the line from adj
joining lands upon which they held an
option and reported TO have struck ore
in couple OF test pits. When they
discovered that they were on the
wrong land they applied for an option
but found that the land could not be
had at that .ime. They then filed in
the pit and tried many times after
wards for an option but couldn't get 1t.
Mr.. Robbins got an option recently
and is now digging in the old McCusker
pit with the idea in view OF getting
down to see IL the reported ore strike
was true.
The diamond drill. (Crystal Falls, Iron County, Mich.) 1887-1996, 1904-05-21

The strike of the Masters and Pilots
compelled the suspension OF work at
this property in so far as the addition
al mining of ore is concerned. All OF
the trammers, excepting two gangs
necessary to keep the dirt away from
the miners who are developing on the
bottom level. were let 90 last Tuesday
noon: also all miners working I'm the
slopes. The men were not paid off
but told TO wait around a short time
TO see what course events will take.
IL the strike is settled within the next
week or so 1t is probable that the
same old crew will be at work there
again but should il be prolonged much
after that time IL is quite likely that
there will be an exodus of people from
that location.

ested connecting industries, which are
very extensive. The offices OF the
various companies have not employed
their summer forces and some offices
have cut down what they already had,
temporarily.
Whether the tie up will result In
radical action by the vessel owners
against the masters and pilots, who
are not willing 10 accept last years
wages, Is a much-mooted question.
One vessel owner a few days ago ex-
pressed himself as OF the opinion that
the end OF the contract system OF lab
or on the lakes would soon be reached.
"Then it will be an open shop" said
he. TO bring this about II would be
necessary, probably, for the vessel
owners TO induce some Of the old sail
ors, who have the necessary exper-
fence, to get licenses from the govern
ment.
The hope is expressed in every quar-
ter that the conference OF the Lake
Carriers at Chicago, yesterday, would
result in some action which will see
business begun. The general impress
sion is that June ] will see IL.

not moved away and more OF our
mines were working IL is certain that
team would be entered from here.
However, the 500 firemen have the
good will OF our boys and every effort
will be made TO get a good representa-
tion from here. 1t is probable that
our band will 60 and dispense some
music down there and large number
OF firemen will accompany IL.
The 500 department is going ahead
with preparations for the tournament
and big time is promised The 500
News speaks OF the preparations;
Chief G.. +. Van Wyck has received
a letter from Ontonagon saying the
department OF that city will send a
running team TO compete for honoH.
Chief Van Wyck contemplates going
To that city some time next week to
confer with Second Vice-President
Chas. O'Rourke relative to plans for
the tournament, but IL is probable
that the matter will not be pushed
until about the first of June. Two
months time will be available after
that i'm which Co work out all OF the
details, plan the decorations, prepare
for the reception OF the visitors in
royal style and so perfect the organi-
zations Of the various committees that
failure will be impossible.
Chief Van Wyck says he has no
doubt but that the tournament will
lay over anything ever attempted by
the association. The second tourna-
ment held by the association was held
in this city, and those who were pres
ent on that occasion remember it as a
green spot i'm the history OF the organ
ization The town was much smaller
then than IL is now, and since then
many features OF interest have been
added to the city. The population
being much greater, the coming tour
nament will naturally draw more peo-
pie to the streets. From present in
dications every hotel in the city will
be crowded TO its capacity.
A prominent feature OF the event
will be the absence OF gamblers. 1t
is the intention OF those having the
tournament in charge to also keep
out pickpockets, and TO this end spe-
cial officers OF wide experience, men
who know the crooks OF the country
like book, will be engaged to run
them out of town as fast as they show
up. IL is the intention OF the manage
ment TO insure the safety Of the pub
lie, so that nobody need be afraid OF
losing money by underhand methods.

LAKE STRIKE HITS
CRYSTAL FALLS
MtN LAID Off AT MINES UNTIL
- BOATS START RUNNING.
10000 AFFECTED BY STRIKE
All Industry Dependent Upon Water
Transportation Hard Hit and
Employees are Laid on.

Nothing like the present tie up OF
the vessels on the great lakes has ever
been known. Once there was a strike
OF the engineers which held the YES
sells from starting as soon as the lakes
would permit, and the delay in that
case was about ten days, while during
the present trouble IL is estimated
that at least three weeks have been
lost In which the big freight boats
could have been doing business.
Some people who have been figuring
on the general cost of the strike put
the loss at ss,OO0,O0O per month in
wages. There have been estimates
made that 10000 men have been
thrown idle by the.situation. One OF
the greatest sufferers In this respect,
outside the vessels themselves, is the
iron ranges, which are employing a
great many less men than at this
time last year, for the reason that
there is no ore movement To the
docks.
Two Of the largest companies which
carry freight on the lakes are the
Pittsburg Steamship company and the
Gilchrist line, which alone have over
200 vessels, and at estimate of TWEEN
ty men each these two companies
alone would use 1000 men. All the
other freight lines which would use
men would have many more thousand
and the greater number OF trains tied
up owing TO full stockpiles and moth
ing to move away the ore leaves sever
al more thousand men idle.
The ore handlers at all the docks
have to be reckoncd as well as the tug
men, who are not doing anything.
There are the people who supply the
boats with food and other necessarics
Ao.are also affected and other inter

Looks Like Business.

The resumption Of work ON the
Escanaba crushing plant of the Oliver
Mining company would indicate that
the corporation has in mind the
shipping OF much ore from the
Escanaba docks the coming summer.
For time the work was at stand
still, but last week force of twenty
five men was started to work and it
is estimated that the same will be
ready for work with i'm six weeks.

SMALL POx AT
WESTERN LOCATION
CASE DEVELOPED OVER THERE
DURING THE WEEK.
NO RUNNING TEAM THIS YEAR
Dull Times Prevent Crystal Falls Fire
men From Entering Team at
the 500.

The health officers discovered a
case of small pox at the Great Western
location during the week. 1t is in the
batcher's shanty OF Peter Boorms.
The discovery was made by the health
officers and at once an investigation
was made. The disease was found TO
be small pox and strict quarantine
was established at once. G. G. Neering
was placed In charge Of the property
and no one is allowed to goin or out OF
the place.
In this regard is interesting TO know
that the control OF the county over
small pox cases and other infectious
diseases Is a great deal different now
from what 1t was a year ago. When
the last epidemic OF small pox was
raging In the vicinity, the county had
almost no control over the handling OF
the cases and any bills that came be-
fore the board, properly certified to,
had To be allowed by the board.
Senator Moriarty had a special act
passed for Iron County, giving the
county board authority to establish
superintendency In all cases OF in
fectious diseases. Later on a general
act was passed. The county board
will meet soon and will probably do
something towards establishing q re-
gular superintendency for infectious
diseases.
