TAXPAYERS VOTE
TO BOND COUNTY
ATA MASS MEETING HELD AT COURT
HOUSE LAST THURSDAY
IMPROVE ROADS That ARE USED
Proposition TO Macadamlze Road to
Iron River Was Unanimously Voted
Down

The mass meeting of the tax payers
Of the county called TO talk over the
subject of good roads was held az the
court house last Thursday afternoon
and was largely attended by a repre-
sentative gathering OF tax payers.
j. Fl. Parks chairman OF the board
OF county road commissioners resided
over the meeting ana introduced State
Highway Commissioner Earl who ad-
dressed the meeting for about AN hour
ON the subject of good roads. how 70
make them and what is heing done In
Michigan towards getting good roads.
Mr. Earl ended his talk by refer
ence to the local question and told his
hearers what he thought was for the
best interests Of the county in the
matter.
He invited those present to ask ques-
tions and great many took the oppor
tunity TO get information on points
upon which they were uninformed.
The matter then took turn TO the
local situation. IL has been the talk
that the proposition TO bond the county
was primarily made for the purpose of
building trunk line of roads from
Crystal Falls to Iron River. The tax
payers began Immediately to bat that
proposition and had IL pretty well ham
mered when Senator Moriarty cleared
the atmosphere with the suggestion
that only roads within reasonabl
distance OF the centers of population
should get the benefit of .any money
secured from bonding. This.proposition
met with favor from all.
1t was finally decided to take vote
and proposition finally put in the
form Of resolution TO the effect that IL
is the sense of this meeting that the
county be bonded in the sum Of 800, 600
for the purpose Of building good roads.
There was q division on the question
but IL carried by vote of two to one.
= = The matter OF gravel and mecadam
roads was then discussed and il was
decided in all cases to use gravel
The next move will be the submit
ting OF resolution TO the county board
and then the calling of special cleo
tion for the purpose OF voting on the
bonds.

REPORT OF SALE
HAS BEEN DENIED
PRICE MCKINNEY SAYS NO NEG oTIA-
TONS HAVE BEEN ON
STEEL OFFICIALS ALSO DENY IT
Rumor Started From a Brokerage House
in New York That Makes Speciality
Of Steel Stocks

The city dailies last Saturday an
nounced that the Corrigan- Mckinney
mine ana iron manufacturing interests
had been sold 10 the United State Steel
Company.
The announcement was made under a
New..York date line and stated that the
price at which the Corrigan-Mckinney
nroperties were 10 be taken into the
corporation was $50. 600, 600
This was the gist Of the dispatch al
though the Detroit papers added 70 it
that the rumor originated from hrm
OF brokers on Wall Street VINO were
handlers of Steel stocks and well IN
formed in the iron world.
The first denial came from the Steel
corporation whose officers, when ap-
proached for confirmation OF the
rumor, stated that the subject was en-
tirely new TO them.
Tuesdays papers contained an au'
thorized refutatoin Of the rumor from
the lips OF Price Mckinney who is the
active head Of the big corporation the
dispatch reading as follows;
"a formal denial of the report OF
it's approaching absorption by the
United States Steel Corporation was
made to-day by Price Mckinney OF
Corrigan- Mckinney q 90. de said
There is absolutely no foundation for
10. There have been no negotiations
between our company and the steel trust
nor has any price been asked and
given. T"
The rumor OF sale was the all absorb
ing topic OF conversation In Crystal
Falls Saturday and Sunday, the Cor
riQan- Mckinney concern being the
largest. operator in the district ana
having won the people to It's liking oy
the progressive and liberal policy 1t has
pursued in aiding the city and COM
munity.
The Corrigan- Mckinney company has
grown from very small concern to
large proportions within the last de-
cade. During the latter years OF the
panic Of 1893 and subsequent years, this
corporation had the Crystal Falls mine
as about the only valubale assetts on its
list. The Commodore at Virginia was
also on.the list as were some other
small properties but those were the
days before the Commodore was devel-
oped as IL is today.
When the revival came the concern
began 20 branch out The Stevenson
mine at Hibbing was secured and
proved the making Of the concern. 1t
made phencminal outputs during its
early years az low costs.
In the mean time the company was
securing every property 10 be had In
the Crystal Falls district and the Great
Western, Lincoln, Lamont, Tobin,
Dunn, and Armenia were added TO the
list here and later on the Kimball and
Fairbanks, the latter being on the same
forty as the old Lincoln.
The Colby and Ironton on the Goge-
bic and the ST. Paul and st. James on
the Mesabi have also been acquired.
In addition 10 its mines the concern
has been adding to It's furnace capacity
and II Is today large producer OF pig
iron so that the valuation quoted In
the rumor. $50. 900, 600, Is none too
great for the properties of this enter
prising concern.
