The Burlington mine resumed
operations last Saturday with j. H.
Siebel as superintendent. The work
of unwatering the shaft commenced
on that day and the water at present
writing has been lowered to the 800
foot mark. Like the former super
intendent, Flank Bernardis, Mr. Siebel
is a miner not of the kid glove class,
so we predict that the mine will not
suffer under his management Re
cord.
The lone Fire Brick Company has
18 men IN their employ and as soon as
they have their other kilns finished
will employ many more. Echo.
There was game of ball sheduled
for this place Sunday last between
the local nine and team from Jack
son. The manager of the home team
had made all arrangements and the
jackson boys told him they would be
on hand. Sunday came and no team
from jackson showed up and when
asked the cause over the telephone they
seemed to think it was a great joke.
We rather think, however, that they
got "cold feet" when they heard of
the Hill boys line up. TO say the
least the jackson toys did not treat
this team right, for if there was any
reason that they could not keep their
appointment they should so have in
formed the manager of the Hill team.
