CALUMET, Mich, May I4.-A novel
industry In the copper country is a.
broom factory, conducted by blind men
at Yellow Jacket, one of the numerous
locations which together constitute the
big mining camp of Calumet.
The factory is under the patronage of
the Calumet and Hecla Mining COM
pany, and at present it furnishes en-
ployment to two men, Victor Johnson
and an associate. miners who have lost
their sight in consequence of accidents
met with while at work underground.
There are a number of machines in
the factory, and every one of them is
manipulated with ease by either of the
two men. Brooms are turned out at
the rate of about three dozen a day.
The Calumet and Hecla company pur-
chases the bulk of the product
The blind men have no difficulty in
distinguishing the different kinds of
corn" an essential faculty for the rea-
son that the coarser material is used
for brooms for warehouses, ETC., while
the lighter Is for domestic use.
The blind men use the needles deftly,
and in driving tacks and staples they
perform the work as we'll as anyone
One lof the machines is used for rim
ming off the brooms after they are
finished. 1t is necessary that they be
placed in the proper position, otherwise
the large knife pressed down by means
of a lever would ruin the work already
accomplished. The blind men have a
place for everything. and everything is
kept there. When a particular thing is
needed they know exactly where to
find it.
