DECREASE IN
IMMIGRATION
Japanese Government Gives Out Fla.
ureS Showing Difference.
Foreign Office Insists That Count Is
Conclusive Proof That Empire Is
Living Up to Agreement to Stop
Flood of Laborers to America
Is Proud of Record.

Toxic, March 4.-Returns just COM
pleted by the foreign office show that
between June and December, 1908,
1854 Japanese left the empire bound
for the United States, while 3, 500 re-
turned from the United States during
the same period. OF those returning
S,03l travelled third class across the
Pacific, which indicates that they were
of the laboring class, against whom the
emigation restrictions of the japanese
government are particularly directed.
The total number of japanese sailing
for Hawaii from Japan during the
same period is shown to have been
1,151, while those returning from the
islands numbered 1851, of which num-
Der 1883 were third class passengers
During the month of January, 1909,
the foreign Office figures show that 152
Japanese sailed for the United States
from Japan, while 295 returned to
Japan during the same period from
that country. Two hundred and sixty
-four of the latter travelled third class.
In the same month 145 japanese
sailed for Hawaii, while 60 returned,
all the homeward bound coming third
class.
The months embraced by these fig
ures include the period in which the
agreement relative to emigrants to the
United States, which was concluded |
between Thomas j. O'Brien, the Amer
lean ambassador, and the Japanese for
eign office in January, 1907, became
actually operative.
The foreign Office points out the
fact that it requested several months
time to perfect system whereby the
entire field of emigration could be
brought under control, namely, those
months between the conclusion of the
agreement and June l, 1908, and that
consequently the showing for the
months beginning in June and up to
the present time is the only fair test
of the effectiveness of the system of
restriction employed.
The foreign officials are particularly
insistent upon calling attention to the
fact that upon the figures given, 1000
more Japanese returned from Ameri- I
can territory than sailed for it dur (
ing the last eight months, and they !
state that this is extremely significant
of the agreements effectiveness. {

Seven Condemn Roosevelt.

Washington, March 4.-Seven men,
bers of the committee on judiciary
signed the report that President Roose-

he sanctioned the absorption of the
Tennessee Coal & Iron company by the
United States Steel corporation. This
merger was in violation of the Sherman

committee, however, attached certain
individual views, which, to a degree,
minimize the effect of the declaration.

Exploration Work
Al tMiCiligalllllle.
Mining Company Organized to Take
Over Property In That vicinity.

The Catherine Mining and Explora-
tion Co., organized under the laws of
New Jersey, and composed of New
York, Pittsburg and L'Anse parties,
has taken over the old Stewart mine
and property, within three miles Of
Michigamme and began operations
November 18th.
A small force of men is now engaged
in exploratory work on the property
and prospects for good find are rosy,
for the property is within three hun
dred feet of where paying iron ore
mine is located.
Captain Christopher, who had charge
of the Michigamme mine for number
of years prior to its closing down. is
well informed regarding the mineral
formation in the vicinity of the Stewart,
and it is thought that if there is any
ore there he will find it. A series of
test pits will be. put down and it is un-
der stood that diamond drill will be put
in operation within the next few months.
At the start the exploratory work will
be conducted largely on the strip of
land between the Portland and the Ste
wart mines. The Stewart shaft put
down several years ago. penetrated the
hard ore formation. The ore on that
part of the property is too far from
surface to be explored successfully by
test pits, so it is in this vicinity drills
will be employed.
The ore comes quite close to surface
near the Portland mine, and it is thought
that mineral will be encountered in not
few of the pits. The ore at the Ste
wart contains about the same in miner
al as that being mined at the Portland,
Imperial and Ohio properties, all OF
which are on the same range, and will
average 55 per cent in iron. Captain
Christopher expressed himself as being
favorably impressed with the distric,
before the company was organized. anc
and it is said that both he and Mr..
Voetsch are satisfied that the money

GIVE Us
Chase Osborn.
Osborn Urged BY Press and Public. In.
dorsed by Lansing U. p. Delegation.

In an important and essential partic-
ular Chase s. Osborn's candidacy for
the governorship is exceptional and uni
que among the quartette of gubernator-
ial ambition now on exhibition in Michi-
gan. This. distinctive quality of the
Osborn candidacy is found in the solid
arity and unanimity of his support
among the republicans Of his own dis
trict. Indeed Michigan politics has
never furnished situation at all COM
parable in this respect with the one
which has developed as result of the
Osborn announcement. This unanim-
GUS sentiment is well illustrated by the
expressions of the upper peninsula del
egation to the state legislature and
similar expressions from the editors of
the Twelfth district, whose support Of
Osborn is not only unanimous, but in
tensely vital and enthusiastic. If the
regard in which candidate is held by
his home folks is any criterion of his
availability for public Office, then no
candidate in the governorship race can
approach the upper peninsula entry.
In an article booming Mr.. Osborn for
our next governor, Editor Knox, of the
Sault Ste Marie Evening news, proves
by letter and clipping the senators rep
resentatives and newspapers galore
want "Chase, Chase, and one but
Chase" and we are safe in saying that
Chase will be the next man to sit in the
gubernatorial chair. If Baraga County
can help MIN to his rightful place, he
will get it without shadow of doubt

clifton-Morenci Company.

As means of inform alton to Bar
aga county shareholders in the above
company, we give little description
of the location and advantages of the
above mine. About 1000 shares of
the above stock were sold in the coun-
ty on the start and if the proposition
pays, many more shares will find their
way into hands of willing buyers.
The property comprises $50 acres. 1t
is miles from Clifton, 4 miles from
Morenci and miles from Metcalf, the
nearest railroad being at Metcalf. to
which an aerial tram could be built to
handle ores. This method is extensive
ly used by neighboring mines. The
smelters are at Clifton, where the ore
could be treated. The best known prop
critics in the vicinity are the Arizona
Copper company, an old-time dividend
payer with Scottish management and
headquarters in Edinburgh; the Detroit
Copper company which has for many
year been q regular contributor to the
Phelps Dodge profits; and the Shannon
Copper company.
The Clifton Morenci has well-de-
fined fissure vein known as the Heating
vein. 1t is near the Coronado shafts of
the Arizona Copper company which are
the principal producers Of that company
and in the opinion of local engineers
there the Heating is believed to be q
split of the Coronado vein.
The Clifton Morenci has tunnel on
its vein e20 feet long and an ore sh oot
$50 feet long is exposed by it. At one
place where there is back of l30 feet
above the tunnel. WINE has been sunk
120 feet, giving total depth Of ESQ feet
and at two other places in the tunnel
wines have been sunk, one to 9
depth of IS feet and one 10 feet> AL
three are in ore averaging 1872 per cent
copper, and 7.3 ounces silver per ton.
From tine bottom of the Wine cross
ent extends toward the hanging dis
tance of 2S #, disclosing the ore shoot
feet wide with ore averaging IA per
cent copper and z ounces silver pei
ton The remainder of the erosseut
is al vein material running as high as
II per cent copper.
The management promises the most
conservative and economical operations
consistent with the best mining methods
and rapid development. Work has beer
under way by the promoters for five
months, and th.y feel the property pos.
sesses exceptional promise.

Grange Helping
The County.
Bustlins Organization Doing Good in
the County BY Aiding the Farmer.

The Baraga Grange, organized recent
ly,is making itself known.to the public.
not through advertising but by aiding
the farmers in their chosen vacation, 1t
is slowly, though surely, gaining prom
inence in the county by promoting the
farmers interest.
Bellaire's siding, Baraga township
has been quite busy place this fall,
through this organization. Up to last
week, twenty carloads of cabbage and
potatoes have found their way into the
hands of buyers, at a money advantage
to the farmer and buyer both.
This organization meets on the first
and third Sundays in each month, at
two o'clock in the afternoon at the
schoolhouse at Girard's corner. Every
one is invited to join. The admission
fee is two dollars for men and one dol
lar for women. Anyone engaged in
agricultural pursuits (of good character)
is admitted and no farmer can afford
to stand outside the grange.
AS the old saying, United we stand,
divided we fall, 30 it is in this case.
The advantages are many, both in a,
business and social way. The financial
side of the society should also appeal to
one, for through this medium low insur-
ance is offered; trade contracts also
come through this channel.
The grange is gradually attaining the
goal and if you are a farmer you could
do nothing better for yourself than join
ing the crowd.
