Use 90 Per Cent Ores.

Mining men on the Marquette range
are much interested In the new blast
furnace project to be launched by John
I. Jones, OF Iron Mountain. II Is re-
ported that Mr.. Jones has the hacking
OF q number OF eastern capitalists
The plant which is TO be located near
Lake Antoine. a short distance from
Iron Mountain. and for which the
foundation has already been completed,
will manufacture wrought iron direct
from the ore. thus saving one process.
IL Is claimed that the new process
makes available the 80 and 40 per cent
ores. now considered OF no particular
commercial value. II IL does this 1t
will open up practically unlimited
iron ore field. as there are many large
deposits OF lean ores on both the Memo
minee and Marquette ranges. Nearly
the entire Menominee range is one iron
ore body. but large percentage OF the
mineral assays below 30 per cent.
1t Is said that Mr.. Jones. who is
mining man OF many years experience,
and an authority in the mining world,
is enthusiastic over the prospects Of the
new project. TIE company which is
backing him has shown its faith in the
in the enterprise by securing options
on practically all the ore land on the
Menominee range now considered un-
marketable. The low grade Menomi-
nee ores can be mined at very low
cost per ton, as most OF the formations
carry but little overburden.

.FALKENEAU PEOPLE.
HAVEN'T PAID BILLS
OWE BILLS TO LOCAL DEALERS AND
DON'T IOSEN UP
CITY PAID THEM ALL THE MONEY
Council Allowed These People To Pur-
chase the Material and Didn't Protect
Merchants OF City In Settlement

Like Banquo's Ghost that Falkeneau
deal wont down. IL keeps "risin" TO
stare the city fathers in the face every
day. The latest rise 1t made was to
reveal the fact that. although the city
paid the contractors for all Of the mat
erial purchased on its account, the
contractors haven't paid those from
whom the supplies were purchased yet.
Andrew Nelson furnished lot of lum.
Der and the best he could do with them
was to get half OF his bill s. Soren-
son did lot of work sharpening picks
and other kinds of blacksmith labor but
he hasn't been paid. Shortly after the
bills Of the contractors had been paid
the city clerk received bill from the
Vulcan brick yard for $70O worth Of
brick. These are few Of the accounts
that have come to our notice.
AT the time the desl was made to
suspend work, the writer heard Mr..
Strauss remark about the good Office
the contractors were doing for the city.
He said. I'VE are paying out our own
money to pay your bills. II deveIopes
that Mr.. Strauss was only joking.
Ii is true that the contractors have
have given bond and it is further very
likely that all of these bills will be
paid but that is no excuse for allowing
such condition to exist. BY the
terms of the contract the contractors
purchase all of the material and sup
plies. The council has nothing TO say.
They pay what ever price they chose
and the city fathers just put their
John Hancock on the bills when they
are presented.
1t may be remarked In this connec
tion that the Faulkeneau people are
red hot after the 5000 that Is due ON
their contract and in this connection
we learned more about the bright CON
tract which was made with these
people. AS has been stated several
times by ms. the Faulkeneau people
were to get s., 900 as bonus for doing
the work. Generally bonuses are paid

This has been week OF wrecks on
the railroads leading to this city. On
Tuesday the North Western train was
In a wreck near Sheboygan, Wis The
train was blocked from going over the
Wisconsin division because OF wreck
aud IL was sent via the Lake Shore
division to Green Bay. Near Sheboy-
gan the rear sleeper jumped the track
and turned turtle. The passenger es-
capped unhurt but through miracle.
A wreck at Randville delayed the
Milwaukee train Thursday. A freight
train struck an open switch mile be-
low Randville station and the train OF
cars were piled up in heap. There
was some talk of sending the main line

SUBSCRIPTION sa.oo PER YEAR

when the work Is completed but in this
instance the council was hornswoggled
into making contract by which these
people were TO be paid in installments
OF $500 at stated periods. One $500
was paid them when they commenced
work; one soon after, and. about the
time work was suspended or shortly
afterwards, another $500 came due.
It's the last mentioned $500 that they
want and they want IL badly. Their
letter states that they have earned IL by
answering letters from their Office as
10 the city's credit They have been
telling everybody that they think
that the city is all right and will pay
its obligations IL given little time.
In the face OF these very great favor
they think the city's not paying the
other $500 ere this is the height Of i'm
gratitude.
City Clerk Munns wrote them Mon
day Of the number OF unpaid bills that
are being put into his hands for pay
ment. bills that they should have paid
and for which they drew the money.
1t is probable that the city will settle
with these people by paying the unpaid
bills out Of the $500 now due and they
will then be told TO stay away. al-
though Alderman Scadden, who con-
trols the council and at whose door
must be laid the blame for the predi-
cameut in which the city now finds
itself, says that there is no one com
planning about the contract excepting
The Diamond Drill and few sore
