OLD FRONTENAC
TO START UP
Grading for Shaft House on
Big Russell Mine Already
Commenced.

Work of grading for a new shaft
house to be erected over the Frontenae
mine in Russell Gulch was commenced
Monday morning. AS soon as this i:
accomplished the foundations for tbs
building and machinery will be laid.
The shaft house will be 30x60 feet in
dimensions and the machinery which is
to be installed is to be 100 h. p. cleo
trio plant. The first work to be done
after the equipment is in working order
will be the retimbering and straighten-
ing of the shaft. Sinking will then be
commenced.
The present depth of the Frontenac
shaft is 450 feet. Considerable drift
ing at one time had been done in the
mine, several of the levels being from
1000 to 1,20O feet in length. These
levels will not be worked and new ones
will be driven as sinking is prosecuted.
The Newhouse tunnel cuts one end of
the Frontenac lode and the mine there
fore is practically dry. The drainage
of the property by the tunnel will mean
much to the operators as the last time
the mine was worked a large expense
was entailed in handling the water,
which was so bad pump was eaten
out in short time.
Nothing has been done on the From
tenac since 1895. In 1896 or 1897 the
top buildings were completely destroyed
by fire and the machinery was ruined.
In the early nineties the mine paid big
and Chas. Harker, Ed. Williams and
DR.. Paul, who were operating it at that
time, made quite stake. The ores
mined then ran between $4,000 and
$4,000 to the ton, the smelling ore ex-
listing in several of the levels in veins of
seven feet in width. There is a good
sized vein in the shaft. which will be
sunk on.
The Frontenac adjoins the AduddeIl
group and is located in the center of
the wealth producing section of the
Russell district. 1t is owned by the
Frontenac Syndicate, a company which
thoroughly understands the mining bus

it is understood the large amount of

competent mining men of this section,
who has had 35 years experience as
superintendent and manager of mines
in this county, has been placed in charge

More Development on Spur Property.

At the Spur tunnel in Prosser gulch
ore is coming out that runs well up with
the former shipments and the drifts in
the bottom of the winze are being
worked for the good lead ore that is
paying the lessees handsome profit.
Besides the above the old shaft that is
little below the mouth of the tunnel
has been cleaned out and retimbered.
This shaft is about 116 feet deep and at
the bottom are two levels running east
and west. These are also being cleaned
out and in all probability drifting will
soon be commenced. At the bottom of
the shaft there is a nice crevice of good
looking ore and it no doubt will run
well. At least shipment will be tried
and if it runs good the shaft will be
sunk another lift so as to get under this
body of ore. There is whim on the
mine at present but later other mach
inery will be installed.

CARPENTERS STRIKE
At STANDARD STEEL
Sixty Workmen Employed
on Cottages Outside the
Grounds Walk Out.

A strike involving about sixty car
penters employed at the Standard Steel
Car company was ordered at noon
Saturday because of the discharge of
two union leaders and other differences
of minor Importance. The steward of
this job had objected for some time
TO the laborers tearing down scaffold-
ing, claiming that this work should
be done by carpenters. He objected
so strenuously to this violation of the
union rules that his employers thought
it necessary TO discharge him, and the
trouble seems to be the elimination of
series of petty strifes between the
contractors building the Standard Steel
cottages and the carpenters. If their
differences are not settled soon the
union carpenters threaten a walk out
of the entire works including those
employed on the buildings inside the
yards. They claim the $50 men who
would be thus forced out of employ
ment would not long be idle as the
building season has opened up, which
fact would make it doubly hard fol
the contractors to secure men to fl
their places. Business Agent Horan OF
the local union is endeavoring Il
strai ghten the matter out this morning
and a peaceable settlement is antici-
mated

Chicago. May 13.-Excitement ran
high in the wheat pit this morning.
Brokers. clerks. traders and spectators
were waiting anxiously for the gong TO
sound announcing the opening Of the

Long before the opening hour every

thought necessary to refuse admittance

abandoned when the directors found
that they would be able 10 accomo-

Public Opinion Responsible.
The action Of the wheat market and
the remarkable advance of almost ten
cents bushel in two days records an
other victory for the law of supply and
demand The public who are the own
ers of large amounts of speculative OPP
tions have insisted that the crop dam
age was serious and accordingly moth
ing could shake their faith in their
position. They have held on with q
vengeance and on every decline accum-
ulated more wheat.
Early IN the season ali OF the crop
damage emenated from the southwest
1t was asserted almost necessarily
that section would not raise a half crop.
Crop experts have contended that 1t
would be two thirds of full crop. But
these same experts are beginning to re-
duce their estimates to conform with
! those made early by the trade.
To add fuel to the fire, several states

Schools Are Closed Today
as Tribute to Her
Success.
STUDENTS ARE PROUD
Hold Exercises This Morning-Joy
of Victory Takes Away Sting
of Athletic Defeat.

Bonnie Haines is the heroine of
hundreds of happy school children in
Hammond today. After winning the
preliminary oratorical contest and then
winning first honors from all over the
county. Miss Haines went to South
Bend last Saturday and won first hon
ors in the Northern Indiana oratorical
contest.
The students are equally proud of the
fact that Francis Hamacher made such
good showing and many of them
thought she should have had first in
stead of third place in the defamation.
AS for the track team, they have
won laurels in the past and might
have done better this time if some of
the men had not been disqualified.
The victory of Miss Haines takes away
the bitterness of defeat in athletics and
the Hammond high school students are
happy.
Today there was no school after 10
O'Clock and the students are all re-
joicing as they wander around in the
spring days in celebration of the sue
| cess of their heroine.
Celebration This Morning.
The high school held big cele-
bration this morning in honor of Miss
Haines victory. Three of Hammond S
prominent citizens were called upon to
] help make the event worthy of the vic
| tory attained by Hammond's contest
ant. The enthusiasm of the students
and the wit of the speakers tended to
make the event one which will not
soon be forgotten. After the new pa
triotic song, Indiana" had been sung
by all the pupils and a few yells in
dulged in, Superintendent McDaniels
introduced the first speaker, Mayor
Becker.
The mayor dwelt upon the fact thai
the victory which Hammond attained be
ing in oratory rather than athletics
spoke well for the prominence of loca
school in mental attainments. He also
said that it pointed to the fact tina
Lake county has one of the best edu
cationaI systems in the country. Mr.
Becker commented on the fact that
large PERCENTAGE of the students il
the high school were girls and though
it nearly equalled what he termed tn
sacred ratio of sixteen to one"
Miss Bonnie Haines, the victoriou
orator, declared that in her opinion am
that of a great many others, Franci

Farmers UP Against 1t.


This was the general feeling among
the farmers who are members of the
trust, and they included about all the
milk producers. A farmer outside the
trust was a rare person around Ham
mond. One was found who had a
small Independent business and he was
a little better off than his neighbors
who were in the union. He claimed
that he got a little better profit out of
his cows than his neighbors even if he
did not get his money as quickly. He
received a higher average per can the
year round than did his competitors
but had some trouble in finding people
to handle his milk. Now that the trust
people refuse to sell the milk to the
grocery store or the small storekeeper
the Independent man has this branch OF
the business to advance on, and from
present outlook he will take advantage
of it

In Dyer, Schererville and other out
side cities and towns, the residents
have great advantage over their cou-
sins and friends in Hammond. The
price of milk in those places is five
cents a quart delivered at the house,
while Hammond s41ust pay seven and
eight cents for a poorer quality. Yet
Hammond consumers double and triple
the quantity and should receive any
advantage that could be offered, but
not so. The city is supplied mainly by
agents of the trust~and the orders sent
out every six months by the trust, from
their palatial offices in Chicago, must
be obeyed.
The farmers about this section with
the dairy men have been receiving
overtures from Gary concern to furn-
ish that town with their milk at q
/ higher price than is paid by the trust
and there may be some desertions from
the ranks later on. However, the hol6
at present is strong and the Hammond
people can look with little hope for 6
change in the price of milk.
