tions Of the territory yielding this
mineral are classed under three
ranges the Oldest Marquette; the 80
cond. Menominee; the third. Co
gebic--snd their respective annual
yields OF ore are not far from equal
The shipment OF ore to points outside
the state began from Marquette In
1854. from the Menominee range in
1872, and from the Gogebic in 1882.
The production of hard specular and
magnetic hard ores is confined TO
Marquette county and in the early
years Of mining and shipping these
ha,d ores were the only kinds used.
Bot later. after the discovery Of the
soft ores OF the Menominee range. the
use OF these soft ores began, and very
soon the production and use OF soft
ores was greatly in excess OF the hard.
Great advance has been made in the
iron ore mining work In Michigan in
later years, and nowhere in the world
Is the mining of iron ore more system-
atically done than IL is in the iron
mines OF Lake Superior.

Coal Strike Called.

The bituninous coal miners. under
the leadership of Jonn Mitchell, of the
miners union. have decided TO strike
on April ist. The miners and operat
ors met In joint conference at Indian
apolia last week in an endeavor to
agree but they couldn't get together on
the wage question and so the strike
has been decided upon.
The number Of men interested il
variously estimated at from 300. 600 tc
coo. 900. IL Is probable that the first
figure is nearer the mark

SHAFT BEING RECONSTRUCTED
D. N. & ~ Lands in Iron County Said
10 Have Been Taken Under

The Bristol mine Is receiving some
well merited improvements that will,
when completed. put that property

trict. The new equipment consists OF
q brand new hoisting plant. one of the
best that can be procured. In ad-
dition the working shaft Il. being over

The Bristol has not had really up
to-date equipment since IL started work
under the new management The old
plant was utilized for long time and
then a steam plant was put in that
was modern but the hosting plant was
not so. The operators are now adding
the modern hoist.
Just when the new machinery will
be installed is not certain 40 present

Attention is being directed 10 put
ting the shaft In shape for permanent
work. The shaft was sunk the hrst
year that any exploring was done in the
Crystal Falls district While IL was
fully large enough for permanent
WORK. the timbering was not sufficient
for working shaft and besides 10 had
been in place 80 long that ID was
thought best 10 remove IL and replace
IL with new timber. This work is
being done as rapidly as possible and
the water is being lowered as necessary
in the prosecution OF this work.

PROSPECTS NEVER
BRIGHTER THAN NOW
FOR A RECORD BREAKING SEASON
IN CRYSTAL FALLS.
MEN ARE COMING IN FAST
Population Has Nearly Doubled in the
last Three Years Many Private
Residences Going up.

It IL agreed on all sides that the
coming season promises TO be the best
in business sense that Crystal Falls
has ever seen. not excepting the boom
days of 1900. All the conditions are
set right for such season and the
business men feel confident that they
will not be deceived in their expecta-
tions.
Every mine is working full force.
The Crystal Falls Tobin. Great Wes-
tern. Lamont and Bristol. the mines
lying with the city limits or just with
ont them, are employing in the
neighborhood Of 900 men. In addition
the Fairbanks is rapidly developing
into mine and may be employing 100
men. instead OF the twenty five now
employed, before the summer II very
far along. The Kimball will certa My
employ between fifty and one-hundred,
probably tho latter, before the middle
of the summer. This makes a total Of
1000 men employed in the city alone
Adjacent 70 the city are the Dunn,
Armenia and Mansfield. The Dunn il
preparing TO WORK n bigger force OF
men than ever in her history the com
ing summer. The Armenia will EN-.
ploy over 100 men and the Mansfield
about 100. Thus we have a total Of
500 more men added 10 the number
employed within the city lmits, all Of
this number swelling the business Of
Crystal Falls merchants
Exploring ID going to be on big
scale the coming year All the avail
able lands in this vicinity has been
gobbled up on options and the woods
will be full OF men seeking ore the
rMnfng gHsaaoD.
The mining companies are making
every effort to import workingmen
and almost every train brings in a
bunch Of workmen for the mines.
Building operations are 70 DO heavier
than ever. Mr.. Nelson. the well
known contractor ana builder. express
cd the belief TO the writer short time
ago, that carpenters will not be avail
able 10 do all the work that is to b.
done in this vicinity the coming year.
A great many residents are looking
around for lots TO build on. Desirable
lots are scarce just now.
We have not over painted the outlook
u bit Every condition warrants the
statements we have made. But, better
than ALL there is assurance that this
prosperity is not 10 be OF a one-yeaI
duration. Our people have no caus,
10 fear panic for the mining com
panies doing business here are sold on
long term contracts that will keep th'
properties operating whether there II
a slump in iron or boom. Crysta
Falls is the best town on the rang'
oday.
The diamond drill., 1906-02-10

All doubt as to this property develop
ing into a mine of large proportions Is
being dispelled and nm outward evi-
dence OF this fact is the goodly sized
pile of ore that Is in stock and the
tonnage tnat Is being added daily.
The Fairbanks is proving mp beyond
expectations and will without doubt
enter the shipping list the coming
summer.

An Early Mornina Blaze.

The residence of j. M. Booth, on
Eighth street, was destroyed by fire
early Wednesday morning, the build
ing and nearly all the contents being
totally consumed. The fire is thought
to have or ginated from a defective
flue in the kitchen and must have
smouldered for some time before
breaking into flame. The kitchen
part was a long ell which ran back
from the main portion and this ell
was all aflame when the fire was dis
covered. The building burned so
quickly that only very few of the
effects could be removed The fire
company got out one hose cart but it
was useless as there was no hydrant
near enough to convey water 20 the
fire. The loss is partially covered
by insurance.
