.HEMLOCK TO SHIP
ITS STOCKPILE.
SHOVEL LOADING WAS COMMENCED
THERE DURING THE WEEK
BRISTOL PILE CLEANED UP
Dropped the Cave a Level at the Great
westsrr-Chanse Of Captains at
North Armenia

The Hemlock mine stock pile will he
shipped right away. Orders were re-
ceived during the week to start loading
the ore and the surface crew started
at once to get things ready. The
shovel that has been in commission at
the Baltic and Caspian will be used at
the Hemlock. The piles at the west
side mines have all been loaded, the
Hemlock pile being the only stocked
ore that Pickands, Mather a. 90. has
In these parts at the present time.
Loading from pocket is being hustled
right along at the Hemlock and the
property will make fair sized output
this season.
The stockpile at the Bristol mine has
been cleaned up and the docks ARE
ready for another winter output.
This is important as IL means that the
property will be worked hard all sea-
son. The Bristol will not make as big
an output this year as last but It will
undoubtedly lead the mines of the
county.
AT the Great Western the COB Of
debris in tho cave was dropped another
level during the week and work was
interfered with somewhat thereby.
The cave was expected to take place
soon and-it was watched pretty closely
but at that it came suddenly and sur
prised many OF the workmen.
No damage was done TO anyone or to
anything in or about the mine except
ing that the water was shut off for
some time and the pumps were put out
of commission thereby for short time.
Everything is running along now in
ts usual way.
The caving of the surface at the
Great Western drew the sand so close
to the-shaft originally. that the filling
process was resorted TO TO hold the wall
and the quick sand Gaping in place.
After each drop IL is necessary TO fill
the pit with sand This work Is chen

POOR POTATO CROP

There are no Com pIete Failures Anywhere

Potato dealers anticipate poor
Michigan crop this year. A commits
sion man discussed the matter recent
ly as follows: 1T is difficult to
guess the output OF crop which is
still in the ground. You can estimate
pretty carefully crop of apples. as
You can tell at a glance If the tree is
bare of fruit. IL is true that northern
Michigan, Wisconsin and Minnesota
have had almost continued drought
since June. Some sections have also
been visited by killing frost before
the potatoes grew TO marketable size.
We notice that some clerk talks potatoes
at 81 a bushel 70 the farmer. We get
many reports from growers and ship
pers throughout the five principal
potato states. The majority Of reports
In Michigan. Wisconsin and Minnesota
are bullish, each man basing the future
market price OF potatoes on his own
estimation Of the crop IN his immediate
vicinity. Two years ago few counties
in northern Michigan suffered from
severe drought, and the shippers in
that vicinity expected potatoes to sell
at seventy five cents per bushel, but
two months later they sold at twenty
five cents per bushel. This was due to
large crops in other parts of this state
and in the northwest We look for
similar conditions this year.
New York state shippers report 90
70 100 per cent Of normal crop in the
principal growing sections Of that state
Maine reports 100 10 1875 per cent of a
normal crop and OF the finest quality.
The quality OF the Maine potatoes
and the larger part Of New York state
potatoes this year will be far superior
TO our own. Several foreign countries
report a very large crop this season,
far in excess of their own needs.
Potatoes were sold in Scotland last
month at fifteen 10 twenty five cents.
The freight from these shipping points
70 New York city does not exceed the
freight from many shipping points In
the northwest to the same market.
we believe the crops, even with
favorable rains and weather, viii. be
far below normal in Michigan, Wiscon-
sin and Minnesota, but the larger crops
reported in Ohio New York state and
Maine. and the large stocks expected
before the close Of this year from
Europe will undoubtedly keep us out
of eastern markets II such is the
case. half the crop from the northwest
ern states will probably be- sufficient
during the larger part Of the season to
supply our trade, especially II the
price 10 the farmer goes much above
Glty cents per bnsnel. There is no
complete failure of potatoes in any
county IN any state, The people since
the money panic in October, 1907. are
not consuming over 20 per cent Of the
amount consumed for several years
