John X. Parks Passing out Buttons For
Him in the Copper Country
The Houehton Mining Gazette In its
report of the road institute for Hough-
ton county has tine following that will
be interesting reading to Mr Park :
many friends In Iron county.
III An institute for the benefit of the
highway commissioners of Honghton
hnd Keweenaw counties was held yes
terday morning and afternoon in the
Amphidrome. 1t was conducted by f.
f. Rogers, deputy state highway COM
missioner. There was disappointment
in this because it had been understood
that Good Roads Earle, the suplhitic
state highway commissioner and can
didate for the republican nomination
for governor was expected to be pres
ent.
''But Mr.. Earle wrote from Lansing
TO the Press club. which had invited
him to attend the Warner luncheon to-
day. that he could not get away from
his Office because of pressure OF bust
ness.
yHe was represented however, not
algne by his official deputy, but by j.
III Parks Of Crystal Falls. Mr.. Parks
IS not connected with the state high
way department and says he is travell-
ing with Deputy Commissioner Rogers
to get posted on roads. He is not a
Highway commissioner nor yet sup
ertisor in HIS town.
''But the cause Of Mr.. Parks trip
was made somewhat apparent when he
was casually asked il there were any
OF Earles buttons around
" Were thereg Well it could Just
be guessed Eyes. There was pocket
full OF them around. They were scat
tered AROUND on the lapels Of all the
highway commissioners who were not
averse 20 gauds and decorations There

diverse side the "linaments OF one
II. S. Earle and on the reverse side his
platform. The reporter took handful
OF buttons from Mr.. Parks and a
few of the platform cards and scattered
them lavishIy yesterday In much the
same guileIess manner that Mr. Parks
scattered them.
"But still Mr.. Parks interest In
good roads was not apparent A
thought probably II Earle is elected
governor he may want 70 be- appointed
state highway commissioner. But,
perish the thought. IL were an Insult
TO ask the man such personal qnes-
tion.

FIRE AT cHlcAGOAH MINE
Engine House Burned Suddenly and
the Men Had 10 be Hauled Up With
Ropes

Crosscutting was finished at the
South Dunn last Saturday and prepar
ations commenced TO sink another lit
TO open up the ore body at greater
depth.
A measurement of the drift shows
S3-feet of fine merchantable ore and
the operators are greatly encouraged
at the outlook.
A crew was started sinking the shaft
Monday and the old crew was kept at
work developing the ore that was ont
on the first level This necessitates the
employing OF about twenty additional
men and gives place for the twenty five
that were laid of at the Dunn.
The cutting Of ore at this property
ia distinct victory for Supt Geo. L.
Woodward who worked Tor over year
to get his people interested in the pro-
perty. He believed that body of good
ore existed there and his belief has
been confirmed.
The Buffalo a. Susquehanna people
have spent much money in exploring
in Iron county, mostly on the west side.
The South Dunn is the best looking
property they have today as the ore is
OF a good grade and there seems to be
a quantity.
Captain McDermott, who opened mp
the property and whose work out there
has been exceptionally good. left for a
visit 10 his old home in Scotland last
Saturday and the exploration is being
looked after by VIM. Oman Of this city
during his absence.

property Of the Buffalo 81 Susquehanna
Co, destroyed the engine house last
Tuesday and crippled the property sew

The fire started in the engine house.
which was bat temporary affair, and
in very few minutes the structure
was burned TO the ground. The fire
was a hot one while it lasted and put
all OF the machinery ont Of commission
including the pumps, The burning OF
the blocks in the break bank put the
hoisiting engine completely out Of bus
mess and as the water was rising rap
idly underground the men had to be
pulled up by hand from the bottom.
AS soon as the men were out OF dan
ger all hands set work TO get the mach
inery working again, especially the
pumps so as TO check the rise OF the
water.
The interruption viii be OF short
duration. This property is looking
very good and gives strong hopes Of
developing into a mine.
