CONTRACT LET FOR Ten FINE
BUILDINGS
NINE OF THEM TO OE RESIDENCES
The First OF a Big Equipment Tha, Must
be Placed at This Property the

Andrew Nelson informed reporter
for the Diamond Drill that he has been
awarded thaaptract by the Corrigan-
Mckinney people for the erection Of
ten houses at the Kimball mine Eight
of the ten will be the same sized
houses as the last that he erected at
the Great Western location. One will
be large boarding house and the
other captains house.
The exact location for the new
houses has not been decided upon yet
but Mr.. Nelson was of the opinion
that they will be ON the hill 20 the
south OF the mine.
This Is but the first installment OF
houses for this property and the i'm
portance OF this move cannot be under
estimated by Crystal Falls property
owners for the Kimball mine is right
in the heart OF the city and the open
ing up and equipping Of this mine
cannot help but greatly augment the
population OF the place and the value
Of city property.

A School Patron Kicks.

Mr.. Editor IL want TO say thing
or two through your columns about my
idea of some Of the so called "social
functions of our public schools
see posted up in the post Office a
bin advertising ''Senior Hop TO be
given at the opera house and under the
management Of the senior class of our
high school.
Now, my opinion Of that thing is
that its.a disgrace TO our schools and
10 our school authorities TO allow Of
such things being carried on.
The whole aim of the pupils of our
schools these days seems to be frivolity.
It's all they think Of; all they talk
about all they work for.
We send our children TO school TO be
educated not alone in book learning
but in the ways Of being successful
men and women In after life. We
want our boys 10 be taught 70 be use
ful and to have inculcated into them a
desire for making winning in the
battle Of life that is 10 follow their
school days. We want our girls TO be
taught 10 be helpmates In The homes
that we hope thoy are 10 preside over
in after life. These are sober. hard
faced realities and we desire our
children TO be so disciplined that they
may approach them in a sober. self
reliant manner.
Instead Of this what do we see. AT
terder age we see them standing
sponsor for dances and social func-
tions functions that early destory the
true boyish or girlish nature Of the
child and makes him or her the gilded
butterfly that rarely succeeds when the
pinch comes Boys and girls will
learn 20 dance and will acquire all Of
the social evils early enough without
having them taught In the public
schools.
Another thing these social functions
put an extra burden upon the teachers
that they cannot stand long. Teachers
must work hard to keep mp their end
ia their regular school work and when
these social funtcions" are piled on
they are called upon for extra labor
that sooner or later breakes them
down
want 10 raise my protest against
the continuance Of this frivolity in our
public schools. Now don't nnsunder-
stand me. I'm not advocating all work
and no play. | believe In a certain
amount Of side issues. call them
social functions" IL You will, but !
don't believe in carrying the thing 10
excess and believe that when these
social hops" are advertised.under the
auspices Of our school children it's
piling IL on too thick

'SCALDED TO DEATH
IN SHALLOW SUMP
ITALIAN WORKMAN FELL IN WATER
AT DUNN MINES
NOT OVER SIX INCHES DEEP
II is Thought That Fall Stunned Him ard
That When he Came Too He was
Unable TO Assist Himself.

One Of the most shocking death
notices that we have ever been called
upon to record is that Of Fling Regallo,
an Italian workman who fell into
sump at the Dunn mine last Satur-
day and was literally cooked 10 death.
In one OF the levels Of the mine a
pump had Deen stationed and a shallow
sump was dug there TO exhaust steam
into. The work had ceased on that
level and the pump was removed to the
lower level but the exhaust was carried
up into this old working.
There were about six inches OF water
in the sump and its temperature was
not great
Regallo went 10 this part of the
mine, on what quest is not known,
and when his comrades found him he
was lying in the water of this sump so
badly burned that his death was only
q matter of a few hours.
10 IL thought that he stumbled and
fell as he was walking along the track
aud that the fall stunned him 50 that
he couldn't help himself and that when
he came too it was too late The water
was so shallow and it's temperature so
low that under ordinary conditions a
man having fallen ipto II would have
jumped up and saved himself with but
"A slight burn.
This Is the second mysterious death
at the Dunn within few weeks.

DIVERS RETRENcHINo
Have curtailed Operations at Marquette
Range Properties.

Range Properties
The Oliver Iron Mining company has
curtailed operations very considerably
at some OF It's Marquette range proper
ties Section 81 mine at Ishpeming
was closed last week and on Monday
i5o men were laid off at the Regent
group OF mines at Negaunee
The reason for this curtailment IL
given as too much ore OF the particular
grade produced by these properties
The Section 81 and Regent group of
mines produce non Bessemcr grade Of
ore mainly and very similar to that
produced at several of it's Menominee,
Gogebic and Mesabi range properties
The furnaces Of the U. s. Steel com
pany use but limited amount Of this
ore at the present time bat when the
big plant at Gary gets going there
will be very large increase in the
demand for this particular grade of
ore as the major portion Of the furnaces
at that place will be run on open
hearth iron.
The mines that were closed have
been stocking ore for a couple OF years,
similar to the operations at the Mans
field where no ore has been shipped for
two years
II Is the opinion OF iron men general
ly that the Steel people are conserving
THESE ores for their Carey plant as all
the ore from this properties names can
be hauled to Escanaba and the haul
from there 10 Carey is short and
comparatively inexpensive one
In this connection it Is stated that
the properties Of the Oliver company
in this city which have been closed
down for a long time will be benefit
ted by the Carey works.
