The Chicago papers of last Tuesda,
contained information that was pleas
ant news to Crystal Falls people. Tn,
item took the shape of n New York
dispatch and was as follows
The iron trade here is much interes-
ted in the announcement from Cleve-
land that Corrigsn. Mckinney & Co.
OF that place will shortly erect in
Cleveland two large stacks with daily
output OF over 500 tons each, 10 be
located on the upper river and provid.
cd with extensive ore docks for the
accommodation OF lake traders so that
no re-handling Of ore will be required.
As this concern is already the owner Of
some OF the best producing mines in
Superior ranges, among them the fam
ous Stevenson mine and also possesses
its own ore carrying feet, this large
undertaking, il is assumed, will mean
increased activity in the iron trade
both of the middle West and in part OF
the eastern districts by the Corrigan.
Mckinney concern.
The Nanaimo mine of the Mineral
mining company located within the
village limits OF Iron River pulled
pumps during the week and will be
idle for at least two years II not for
longer time. This property has not
shown the values tnat WAS anticipated
by the Mineral mining people when the
property was leased. the ore being OF a
low grade. A very fair product was
maintained for the past -four years and
there is yet large pile in stock but
the demand for the particular grade of
ore is very light and the owners decid-
ed TO shut down.
Another factor that figured In the
closing OF the Nanaimo Is the James
mine of the same concern which has
developed into very fine property and
from which the company can draw all
The ore It needs during the present
slump.
The Hemlock mine started last
Thursday TO ship its entire output

but three cars per day and |
that small amount went all-rail 10 the |
North Western Furnace company.
will continue -about the
'ame.to the North Western furnace but
he balance OF the output. amounting
o about five additional cars. will go to
Escanaba.
The ore has been placed on stockpiles
heretofore from this property.
At the Dunn mine tie entire output
8 being stocked Shipments were sus-
Dended last week and there is no indi-
'ation that they will be resumed agai N
his year The stockpile already con-
aims large amount as none of the ore
stocked last winter has been shipped.
Underground diamond drill has
been at work for some time testing the
property at greater depth. There have
'een rumors that the property would
lose but these rumors can not be veri-
led by anyone in authority.
A small crew OF men have been at
york the last two weeks at the Ar
nenia mine finishing up the surface
