TRIBUTE TO CORNISH MINER
Well Known Mining Man Praises Their
Sturdy Manhood and Ability

Well Known Mining Man ffNses '"'"
Sturdy Manhood and Ability
AT the recent meeting OF the Lake
Superior Mining Institute at Duluth
and on the Minnesota iron range W.
j. Olcott gave an interesting talk. He
said he had just returned from visit
abroard during which time ne had
spent several days in Cornwall. Leav.
ing his family at one Of the hotels he
secured touring car, heavy, fast
machine and went all over the district
Mr. Olcott at this point paid de
serving compliment TO the Cornish
miner, characterizing MIN as the very
foremost IN MS profession. In doing
this he took occasion 10 mention several
families, relatives OF whom he visited
while on the trip in question. saying
that twenty-five years of assocition
with them had shown sturdy .man-
hood commendable in the highest de-
gree 1t was glowing tribnte to the
Cornish people and one all present
concurred in.
Mr.. Olcott said thai mining in Corn
wall was now being conducted in a
very quiet way Abandoned mine
dwellings could be seen upon all sides,
stone structures cold and gray and
looking like silent sentinels AT the
Dalcoath mine they were working at
3, 900 feet below surface, lifting one
ton loads. and taking ten minutes 70
hoist skip from this depth. II took
a very long tine to get the men ont Of
the mine.
Regarding the condition Of labor
Mr.. Olcott said it was altogether diff
erent fIom that Of the United States
In England there was not the chance
for q man at the bottom that America
extended IL was hard to rise A man
might iii one position for life time.
never rising higher even though be
might possess the ability for better
things Glass distinction was in the
way of progression.
In conclusion Olcott said he would
like the miners OF this country who
could to visit the old. They would
find conditions in France, Germany
and Italy the same AS in Cornwall SO
far as labor was concerned A visit
would show them much and they would
return tolAmerica with broader veiws
towards mankind and a higher appre
citation of our country. No talk in the
meeting WAS more appreciated than
that of Mr. Oclott because it was hon.
est, fairly told. and brought the listen
eis TO a keener appreciation Of the good
things America possesses.

reduced the actual number OF policemen

below the number employed for such duty

Mai. Sylvester, when asked whether the
number Of men on detail could be re-
duced replied that K could not be done,
that all the reductions OF that sort that
We're possible had been made a year ago,
when the Commissioners asked for such
action.
The fact that the recommendation Of
the Commissioners for the increase OF
the force was not based on the recent
''hold-ups" was emphasized by Mr.. Mac
farland. although they Illustrated the
necessity for it, as any other outbreak
would do.
He stated TO Mr.. Sims that the Commits
sioners would present the matter 10 the
