Work was commenced last Tuesday
morning upon the grading of the hill

new school property.
AT hrst sight this work may mot
seem TO have any great significance,
but IL one stops TO consider the amount
Of new building territory that is open
ed up TO prospective home builders the
work has a great significance. II will
be the direct means OF opening up TO
home builders a section right in the
heart Of the city that has hitherto been
passed up by those seeking 10 build
homes, because Of its inaccessibility
and Of the low ground that exists
there. Werefer 10 the lots In the Gran
dali addition, lying between the court
house and Michigan avenue. These
lots lie in low spot and owing to the
streets mot having been opened, have
not heretofore been sought. The hill
TO the south west Of the court house
formed another unsightly agency 10
keep investors from this section.
The plan to be pursued in this work
is to grade down the hill mentioned
to the grade level Of the new school
building which means a cut Of seven
feet. The school board will grade TN,

like level and the dirt is. TO be used II

Collected $40 About the City to Feed the
Circus Animals.
Much amusement was furnished local
people last Tuesday by telephone
message, received by Mayor Moriarty
from Iron River complaining of the re-
ported acton Of some Crystal Falls
people in trying 10 keep.the.circus over
here two days and prevent it from
exhibiting at the River.
Now, do you think that we would
be so mean AS TO keep that circus from
going TO Iron River when we know
that you people never saw an elephant
in your hvesY' inquired Mr.. Moriarty
ot Judge Byers, VINO was on the Iron
River end of the line
We'll. IL Is reported over here on
good authority, replied Byers, that
collection Is being taken up over
there 10 feed the animals and that II
enough money is raised, the circus
people have consented 20 exhibit two
days and cut Iron River out. The
people over here are very much excited
and every business man from the Piper
House up TO and including the Ameri-
can Office, Is ont ON the streets in q
frenzy"
Mr.. Byers further intimated that II
the people Of Crystal Falls persisted IN
such course that party, headed by
Billy Sullivan, would retaliate by
invading Crystal Falls some dark night
and stealing the court house
Mr. Moriarty explained 70 the Judg,

though Pat Q Brien was suspicious
until the last train arrived and tele
phone message assured him that non'
of the show remained here.
Upon investigating the cause Of th'
rumor, Mr.. Moriarty found that ther'
was something 70 base the story upon.
Ii seems that about week ago fel
low, purporting 70 be an agent of th'
circus, came TO town and, hearing o.
the success that John .Mack had il
these pastures, decided 70 do littl'
browsing himself. 80, he made th'
rounds of the saloons in the lower enc
of the city, principally those run by
foreigners, and told them that II 9

This concern first began operations
in Iron county in 1889 when they pur-
chased the Hemlock exploration from
the original explorers and moved the
plant of machinery that they had just
taken from the Walpole mine ~ Iron
Mountain 10 that exploration They
had become discouraged with the Wal.
pole and concluded that there was
nothing there but the Pewabic people
have since proved that had the Pick
ands people gone down they would
have found plenty of ore, though of
low grade.
They soon showed up fine body Of
ore at the Hemlock and induced the
