One OF the Most Successful Men in Sinking
Sand Shafts in the Upper Peninsula
Boilers shipped.

Few persons have any idea Of the
undertaking which the Corrigan- Nc
Kinney people have in hand in going
after the ore on the Baker property at
Stambaugh In order to get down to
the ore sand shaft one hundred sixty
feet nuts be put down and the charnct
er Of the stuff that must be penetrated
is such as 70 make the undertaking a
difficult one.
Nothing daunted, however. these
people are going at the work in a
manner that means success and II
their venture is as successful as every
one has reason to think IL will be, the
heavy covered districts of the east and
west side of Iron County will be
benefited much thereby for IL will
prompt others TO tackle the difficult
sand shaft propositions that must be
tackled to get at the ore bodies under
meath.
The shaft that Is in contemplation is
no mean one for exploring purposes but
Is to be very large working shaft :

will be timbered with only first class
material and when completed will
answer all purposes at the property for
many years
IL is not decided yet whicn method
will be pursued drop shaft or lath and

The work Will be under the supervi-
sion OF Captain Isaac Williams, and a

This action required western roads TO
pay ~. 90 per ton more on account Of
the added freight. Profting by their
experience this year. western and
southern roads are placing their early
orders for 1906 much more heavily than
the eastern roads The Chicago mill
has booked orders for more than 500, 600
tons for 1906
The early estimate OF 1000. 900 tons
OF rails TO be made in the United
states during 1908 was based upon
the rate at which rails were being
bought by the trunk lines early in the
year. IL is now apparent that the
production Of all kinds Of rails in 1905
will exceed 2. 500, 900 tons. and that the
production for 1906 will be at least
3, 500, 600 tons The majority Of rail
mills are able 10 furnish rails or sheet
bars by simply changing the rolls, and
in the average year such mills produce
large quantities Of billets and sheet
bar products In the second half Of
this year, however. all such capacity
Is heing kept exclusively on rails. -

TAX LAW DECISION.

importance to Land Owners.

Judge Hare, Of lronwood, Makes Ruling Of
importance 10 Land Owners.
Judge Haire, OF the Gogebic circuit,
recently handed down a decision in
which IL was held that the statutory
form OF notice in the sale Of LANDS by
printed notice was ample, and IL com
piled with, absolutely legal.
The case in question was brought by
the John Duncan Land 81 Mining com
pany against Albert II. Rusch, a tar
title purchaser. on the ground of
technicalities. IL was contended that
the notice omitted the first paragraph
OF the form of notice given in the
statute. that the amount paid for eight
descriptions were punched In a lump
sum. the retrun OF the sheriff did not
show the party served was a resident
OF the county in which service was
made, copy Of the notice was being
served instead OF the original; that the
party served was not described In the
sheriff's return as the last grantee
under the last recorded deed in the re-
gular chain OF title to said land, and
because Of other objections peculiar TO
the case itself. that the notice was not
statutory and should be get aside.
Judge Haire dismissed the bill of
complaint. holding that the conten-
tions were too technical and stated
las a matter of fact the statute in
the present case was substantially
complied with in every respect. =
