The Blease Machine.

The fact is. Mr.. Blease has one
OF the strongest and most compact
political organizations ever known
In this State. He is a politician from
the word go, and he has host of
politicians working for him; among
them some of the shrewdest vote
getters that ever came down the
Pike; men that helped to keep the
state dispensary here long after 1t
became stencil in the nostrils of
the great body Of the citizenship;
men who hope to see the days come
back again. And he has q host of
other followers who, for one reason,
or another stick to him. Don't talk
about barroom days. Who wants bar
rooms any more? There Is more
money In the dispensaries than bar
rooms ever dreamed of.-Newberry

for itself and sets at rest all such
doubts and all such fears.-News and

With the Drill.

w. II. Lancelot of the keweenaw
Western Devel. Assn, was here and
inspected the mine Tuesday. He
states that the work in the present
line has shown just about what has
been expected and that the time for
this kind of exploration has now
passed. Hereafter, the work will be
done with diamond drill that will
go down 1000 or more feet. This is
the way all the Michigan fields are
now explored and the way the COM
pany's experts tell them this one
must be proved. The prospecting
work already done has shown the
formation to be Identical with that
of the Michigan fields and there is
little reason to doubt but that it
will be at greater depth. The only
economical way to find out is
with the drill. Experts agree that
so far there has been no scientific
work done in Minnesota towards
developing any possible copper
fields, the work that has been done
being merely preliminary prospect
ing. This prospecting in the field
east of town has shown a strong
proba bility, that is almost GER
tainty, Of copper, the surface indi-
cations having been found to con-
tinue below the surface. 1t is now
only question of quantity. For
this purpose the company will use
the diamond drill and know for a
certainty in short time just how
much ore they have.-The Hinckley
