the fight was on. The fish started for
the Seares boat house and Charley
hung on to the other end of the line for
dear life. The anchor did not seem to
etard the progress OF the sea lion in the
least and back and forth they raced
until Charley was we'll nigh exh austed.
BY desperate effort he pulled the boat
hand over hand to within striking dis
lance OF the fish, then tied the line TO
the rail Of the boat, and struck at the
monster with the oar, the giart saw the
blow coming and started full speed to.

Much progress has been accom-
plished in the development and open
ing up of the Pewabic and Iron mines,
owned and operated by the Pewabic
Consolidated Gold Mines Company dur
ing 1907. Constant shipments of ore
have been made, averaging daily from
five to ten cars of milling and smelt-
ing. This has been sent to the COM
pany's own plant, the New York mill,
and to the Observation-Disclosures
Sampling Works as well as consider
able amount to the Boston and Colo
RADIO smelter at Argo. These ship
ments consisted mainly of ore taken
out during development-in the driv-
ing of levels and the sinking of the
Pewabic shaft. Stopping has also been
done.

and this is now under way, the pur-
pose being to sink the shaft to con-
meet with the Newhouse tunnel, which
cuts one end of the Frontenac lode.
Considerable drifting at one time
had been done in the Frontenac. Some
of the old levels are from 1000 to L.
200 feet in length. These are to be
worked in addition to the new ones
that are how being run as sinking pro-
crosses. There is practically no water
to contend with in the shaft or levels,
the mine apparently being drained by
the Newhouse. The handling of the
water in former years when the mine
was worked entailed large expense.
Prior to the month of June, 1907,
when the Frontenac Syndicate started
operations, the mine had been idle

The feeding of thousands Of people on
Thanksgiving and Christmas days by a
sudden public spasm of contributions,
filling people chock full just once, and
letting them get along all the rest of
the year on what they can scrape up, is
the same kind of philanthrophy as shown
by the old Quaker. He was riding in
his covered carriage along dusty road
in the hot glare of midsummer sun,
when he espied lamb with broken
leg gasping by the roadside. He stop
ped, alighted, picked up the poor lamb
and laid it in the road in the shade of
his carriage, out of the cruel heat. Then
he got into his carriage and drove off

The PeWabiC Mines

During the year the Pewabic shaft
has been sunk 10 feet, which makes
the entire depth close to 500 feet. In
the sinking process, the vein was
found to be well defined and continu-
Gus the entire depth of the shaft.
Levels have been driven both ways
from the shaft on the 1th and Sth
levels. 1t is very probable that
sinking operations will be resumed on
the Pewabic shaft within a short
time.
In the early spring the management
decided to allow certain portions of
the mines to be worked by lessees.
These in many places opened up very
good bodies of ore, which yielded
very profitable and satisfactory re-
turns. Several crosscuts have been

herewith will verify this statement.
AS soon as the shaft house was
completed and the machinery placed,

since 1895. Shortly after the shut
down in 1895, the top buildings were
destroyed by fire and fine plant of
machinery was ruined. During the
early nineties the Frontenac was
worked by Chas. Harker, Ed. Williams
and DR.. Paul. These gentlemen were
very successful with the property and
each made large sum of money. The
ore mined at that time averaged
around $40 to the ton and was found
in large veins. The smelling streaks
in some of the Levels were more than
seven feet in width.
