MUST MAKE ADDITION
To POWER PLANT
PcrER EQUIPMENT ALREADY BEING
TAXED TO FURNISH SUPPLY.
MUST ADD ANOTHER WHEEL
Addto'.aI Lights arc Beinsp ut on Each
Month and income Increased
Greatly.

The growth of Crystal Fails city and
surrounding territory in becoming
more noticeable every day. On every
hand new houses are being erected
both by residents and by the mining
companies. AZ result OF this ex-
panison which necessarily follows
such an Influx OF people as has been in
evidence the past year the municipal
light and water plant is already
showing signs Of being Inadequate to
supply the increasing demand and the
board Of public works has already bad
the quetsion Of installing another
wheel mp for discussion.
When the plant was put in two
wheels were installed and power
house which at that time seemed plenty
large enough TO supply all the demands
that would DO put upon IL for many
years 10 come. was erected. But, the
growth Of the city has been more rapid
and the expansion Of the municipal
lighting business much more rapid
than at that time was thought possible
And, this all occurred four years ago.
Every month lights are added just az
rapidly as the city can wire houses
OF course, some Of these lights are
being placed in buildings Of old stand
ing but the major portion Of them are
in new buildings. It il estimated that
al least fifty dwellings and business
blocks were erected in Crystal Falls
this season, over and above those built
by the mining company, which alone
number about seventy five
mBy Cry ystal Falls we do not limit
hrselyes 10 that portion within the
city limits The Tobin, Columbia and
Dunn are as much Crystal Falls as the
territory within the limits Of the city.
The principal difficulty with the
power plant at the present time is
that il necespitates the two wheels
working in tandem to operate the
dynamo. They will also operate the
pump but the latter must be speeded
up to the same speed as the dynamo
and this IL bad for the pump. This
difficulty manifests itself only when it
is necessary 10 operate the pump at
nigth. The attendants endeavor 70
have full tank when the lights are
turned on and thus do away with
much night pumping. However. in
the long winter nights the lights are
turned on early and IL Is necessary TO
keep the tank full In case Of fire and
az such times the trouble is aggrcvat-
ed.
The plan Is 10 put in another wheel
and enlarge the power house sufficient
ly to accommodate it- There is plenty
OF power going 10 waste 20 operate
several additional wheels
The installing Of q new wheel will
release one OF the present wheels for
working the pump only and the trouble
will be obvisted.
However, figuring our growth In the
same ratio for the next four years II
will be but short time when the big
dynamo will be- inadequate also. OF
course, the business is increasing. the
revenue growing larger each day and
the improvements at the station will
be paid for out OF the net earnings of
the plant which at the present time
are in the neighborhood OF VI, 600 per
year

HAS A BIG MINE
AT The CASPIAN
THIS sTAABAUGH PROPERTY BETTER
THAN EXPECTED.
AlET-Up IN IRON BUYING
Iron Market not so Active All the Iron
Ore That can be Mined Next Year
to be Sold Before the Holidays.

From all indications the Caspian
mine Of the Pickands- Msther company
win outstrip any property on the weet
side in size Of ore deposit and be a
close rival 70 the hig Tobin, OF this
district. The latest reports are that
the ore body is showing up TO be a
bigger thing than the owners had ever
dared TO hope for.
Although this property was the FIRST
that the concern found when they
started npon their exploratory course
eight years ago. il is bnt very recently
that they did any development work
to show up what they really have
there
The ore deposit lies upon the old
GrinnInger homestead and was found
by a diamond drill by Superintendent
Chas +. Lawrence. About the same
time the Baltic WAS discovered. on the
old Murphy homestead and the latter
being much easier property to work
and much less expensive TO open up.
the Caspian lay untoucehd for several
years
Three years ago the work Of getting
down to the ore was taken mp and a
shaft sunk through the ninety odd feet
Of quicksand and gravel overburden.
This was the last job which the hate
Captain Jas Reed did and completed
He put the SHIFT down TO the ore with.
out any difficulty.
A sink OF 100 feet was made. station
cut and some drifting done. but before
ore the body was proved mp. orders
came to pull the pumps and the pro-
perty was idle during the slump Of
1903-04
The water was taken out during the
early spring and summer, since which
time the developing Of the ore body
has been in progresa The deposit has
been crossed for distance OF 400 feet
and the exact length of the deposit
has not yet been determined, the drift
being now in the neigbhorhood Of 200
feet in length.
The ore is about on an average with
the best Of the Iron River grade OF ore
II is expected that the property will
make big output the coming year.

THE BRULe BRIDGE
Contract let TO the Wisconsin Bridge Co
al Florence.

Contract lei 10 the Wisconsin Bridge Co.
at Florence.
A joint meeting Of the Board Of Su-
pervisors Of Florence County ard
special committee OF the Iron County
Mich. hoard was held in this city on
Wednesday. After full discussion
regarding the necessity for building a
new steel bridge three miles north OF
this city, across the Brule River on the
Florence Crystal Falls road, 1t was un-
animously agreed 10 make. the much.
needed improvement The Iron County
committee consisted Of Supervisors
william Trebilcoek. Hugh McLaren
and AL Charon. Representatives from
ak bridge building companies were
present at the meeting. The following
bids were submitted,
Wisconsin Bridge Co. Mil.

Ward, Allen a. Co. Milwaukee AHA
Joliet Steel Co, Joliet 1850
Hennepin Bridge Co, Min
neapolis 2.i42
Illinois Bridge Co. Chicago 1850
The contract was awarded 10 the
Wisconsin Bridge Co., IL being the
lowest bidder. The cost Of the new
steel bridge. which is very low. will
be divided equally between Florence
and Iron counties. The wisdom Of
the two boards in building new
bridge across the river which divides
the counties and forms the state line
between Wisconsin and Michigan will
be approved by everyone familiar with
the existing conditions. and their de
cision to place steel structure there is

vastly cheaper in the end The
