and the second fifteen. In five minutes
after the game started, Baird for the
Institute got through the line and
made touch down but after that the
town boys held them without further
score, although they were unable to
make substantial gains. In the second
half Houg.lton made forty yard run
after getting around the end and
made a touch down after about eight
minutes of play. Both goals were miss
ed
The teams were evenly matched.
Neither could break the others line
except in the cases above mentioned
and the difference came in on eff1cie n
cy in making the forward pass and
end runs. In this way the cadets made
most of their gains and kept the ball
most of the afternoon. The town boys
had to kick on almost every third
down. The cadets did this but once.

We're set a. work laying brick in the

Saturday, Sunday and Monday and

the wall conld be built.
The work Of setting the framework

work. The foot Of concrete to complete

IL has been the custom TO give extra

been quite generally commented upon
tnat the brick layers should have been
worked Sunday and laid off on Monday
for the balance of the week. II was

Ready for Use in Foundry and

John T. Jones and the people VINO
are interested with him in the new
furnace at Iron Mountain are seeking
to acquire mining properties in the
Crystal Falls district. Mr.. A. G. Jones
visited Crystal Falls during the week
and, together with J. T. Gibson Of
Amasa, who holds the lease upon the
Bird mine. visited the property and
took samples of the ore In pile.
The Bird ore is just what the Jones
people are looking for. Tt is low in
iron and there seems 60 be all kinds of
IL there. The property has hot been
proved 10 any depth and IL is possible
that rich ore will be met with deeper
down.
The policy of the Jones people is to
secure options on all the low grade
mineral lands that they can as they
figure that their furnace has gone be-
yond the experimental stage and Is now
an assuredity.
AT the furnace plant building to
inclcse the present plan is being erect
ed, This new building will be by far
the largest in Iron Mountain.
Last week Mr. Jones let a contract
for "balling furnace. This fur

plant now built. When the iron leaves
the present furnace ii Is la the form
OF porous chanks, called sponge iron. .
The balling furnace takes this sponge
iron and works it up into balls Of

we are familiar with in pigs.
The ore docks Of the furnace are
being blled with ore and as soon as
the necessary repairs and alterations
are made the furnace will be started

A BETTER BUSINESS
FEELING APPARENT
MINING AND OTHER BUSINESS FEELS
THE RESULT OF ELECTION
LOCAL MINES TO CONTINUE
Will Keep Present Force Throughout the
Winter Republic Mine Resumes Full
Time.

IL was not expected that the mines
and mills would all resume operations
at top speed the day after election IL
was expected that industrial conditions
would at once better themselves and a
spirit Of confidence in the future would
take the place Of the ante election
doubt
The promises that were made in this
regard have been kept Already there
is feeling OF confidence in the future
that has had It's effect right here in
Crystal Falls. Before election people
were wondering II the Corrigan- McKin-
ney mines would continue through the
winter with the present big force, AS
there are big piles Of ore in stock at
all OF these properties. That question
has been settled and settled for the
better. The visit Of Price Mckinney
last week leayes no doubt about the in
tentions OF this concern for the winter.
The mines OF the Corrigan- Mckinney
company will continue through the
winter with the same force that is now
employed which means that there viii
. be almost as many men working at the
local properties as there were before
the panic Of last year closed half OF
our mines.
The Ashland furnace will be started
up once. IL has been shut down
since the middle Of last May. The
company employs large number OF
men botn at It's furnace and chemical
plants and in the cord wood choppings
The opening Of this plant was contin-
gent upon the result Of the election
NORTH ARMENIA
The operators of the North Armenia
ave.decided TO 20 ahead with the e.
quipping Of the property. A new shaft
will be sunk and an entirely new and
up.to-date plant Of machinery installed
and number Of extra men will be
given employment at the property dur
ing the winter in these improvements.
The equipping Of this property
means thst il will enter. the shipping
list next year and that 1t will be big
factor in the near future towards in
creasing the output from.this district.
REPUBLIC RESUMES
A message was received by the loca
management Of the Republic mine tC

that property. which has been working
short handed all winter and summer
will distribute many more dollars IL
wages to the people Of Republic as 1
result OF the election.

School Matters.

The board OF education has oeen
making same important improvements
OF late the chief among which are the
new fire escapes which have been in

steel tube six feet in diameter contains
spiral slide The pupil steps into
the chute at the top and slides around
down TO the door at the bottom which
opens automatically The pupils shoot
down rapidly and room can be en-
ptied in short order and without any
injury to the pupil who lands on his
feet on the ground below.
The four escapes cost S265i erected.
Two men from the shops of the COM

NELSON'S MILL Quilted
Fire Started in the Engine Room Monday
Night and Did a lot OF Damage.


The new planning mill OF Andrew
Nelson was badly gutted by fire last
Monday night The fire started in the
engine room In the basement, though
its immediate origin is shrouded in
mystery
The fire was discovered by someone
who was passing by shortly after two
O'Clock Tuesday morning and the alarm
Immediately given.
= There was considerable difficulty In
getting a run of hose sufficient to reach
the property as some OF the hose was
in the drying tower and had TO be tax
en- down and carried TO the fire on the
backs Of the iremen.
Another delay was caused by the
building being securely locked and a
battering ram had to be improyised
and the heavy door battered down be-
fore ingress could be had
The hremen did good work after
they got 70 the flames. putting the fire
out in quick order
The biggest damage was done 70 the
first floor where the ioists and sills are
al burned out The machinery, while
II suffered considerably, is not badly
harmed and can be put in running
order again with a comparatively
small outlay, the engine being injured
the worst of the whole outfit
The whole under pinning Of the mill
will have TO be rebuilt and the loss
there will be considerable.
Mr. Nelson had no insurance upon
the property as the plant had run but
about day in all since starting up.

FOUND NOT GUILTY.
San Francisco Bulletin Editors Ac-
quilted of Libel Charge.

San Francisco, Cal, March 2s.-The
jury in the trial of R. A. Crowthers
and Fremont Older, proprietor and
managing editor respectively Of the
San Francisco Bulletin, charged with
criminally libelling William S. Tevis,
brought in a verdict last night of not
guilty. The alleged libelous article
was published in May, 1907, and re-
peated in January, 1908, that Tevis had
entered into a corrupt bargain with
Abraham Ruef, by which the latter
was to receive s1,000.000 to get the city
to purchase the Bay City's water pro-
ject, as municipal supply, for $1O.5OO,-
600, that it was a polluted and made
quate water supply and that Tevis
would be indicted upon the testimony
given by Ruef before the grand jury.
Ruef did not testify in the matter
until three months after the publica-
ton of the article and Tevis, the mil
Honaire president Of the water cor
poration, was never indicted. The trial
lasted four weeks.

THEY SEE THE LIGHT.
Railroads Obtain a Glimpse of the
Return of Prosperity.

Chicago, March 28.-Railroad Off
Gals in charge of operation have re-
ceived some encouragement within the
last week. Executives in Chicago de-
clare that after several months the
roads are beginning to "see the light
of improved conditions and return
of railroad prosperity.
The attitude of the supreme court
toward the railroads expressed in the
Minnesota rate case decision was the
first Frightening of the gloom. This
was followed by the report of 100
roads to the car efficiency committee
of the American Railway association
supplemental to the official bulletin
of March A. These railroads, about
one-third of the number of roads in
the country, have sent in reports that
the surplus car equipment of their
roads has, been decreased by 1000
cars since the issuance of the last bull
1etin.
With the same percentage of de-
crease in the idle rolling stock Of tn e
other roads added it is estimated that
freight traffic has gained to a great
extent within the last month and that
the ear surplusage of the country,
which two months ago was above the
$50 600 mark, has been decreased until
it noN stands slightly above 100000.
