Turpentine From Stumps.

Considerable interest Is manifest in
this section over the-projeot which has
been launched by Grand Rapids cspi-
talists to extract turpenitne from. Nor.
way pine stumps The company ad-
vertises In this section for Norway
stump lands and they promise to stump
the lands free IL there is a sufficient
proportion of Norway pine stamps to
pay them for the work.
La order TO get around the heavy
transportation charged on stumps the
company plans to build fonr destruc-
tive distilling plants in the upper PEN
insula. At these plants the stumps
are burned and the resultant steam dis
titled into the several by-products,
among which turpentine is the most
important.
One such plsnt is TO he located at
Kells on the Wisconsin a. Michigan
railroad between Iron Mountain and
Menominee.
While the manufacture of turpintins
Is important. yet IL Is not so muoh
that feature OF the venture ~ the one
which promises TO produce cneap
method Of extracting stumps. that is
attracting most notice In this section.
Norway pine was comparatively
scarce article about here but pine
stumps we have In abundance and II
some method could be devised by
which these pine lands and may be
rid of thei- stumps, this section will
blossom out In the agricultural line.
The turpintine people claim TO have
stump pnIier that is operated by
steam and will clear from six 10 ten
acres per day. ready for the plough.
One OF the pullers has been set up at
Kells and its operation was witnessed

county last Thursday. Tne test was
said 10 have been successful. The |
puller was one of the smallest in us.

pany says II will put into operation

Death of Mrs. Bouchard.

One OF the sadest cases resulting
from the visit Of the death angel that
we have ever had TO record is that a,
the home of Fred Bouchard who re-
sides at the Bristol location.
Mrs. Bouchard died last Thursday
morning after long battle with death
The deceased suffered patiently but
severely and her demise leaves mother
less eight small children.
The deceased was thirty-nine years
OF age and came here with her hus-
band from Alexandria. Ont, ten years
ago. She was an industrious nnd
motherly woman and highly respected
by oil OF her acQuaintances.
The funeral was held from the
church of the Guardian Angel this
morning and the remains placed for
their long rest in the local cemetery.

Mr.. 6radt Coming Back.

The many friends of Mr.. Bradt
who had charge Of the mining opera
tions for the Manila Mining company
In this vicinity number OF years ago
will be interested In learning that he
mas again entered the iron ore mining
field and will be back In this section
OF the country
Mr.. Bradt has spent the last few
years in sinking a shaft TO tap the big
salt deposits just outside Of Detroit.
He succeeded in work after hercu.
lean efforts and great personal sacri-
flee that 1t was thought impossible to
put through successfully.
But. he is amply rewarded. He has
an interest In the salt mine and. nov
that the shaft is down, mis- connection
with the property in professional
way Is severed and he has gone back
into iron mining.
he is one OF the incorporators OF the
Independent Mining company which
was recently organized TO take over
some properties near Iron Mountain
controlled by Captain Spencer. The
company Is reaching out for other good
looking prospects and will probably be-
In this section before long.
A letter received from Mr.. Bradt
by gentleman who was formerly in
his employ conveys the information
that he is at present ON the Mesabi
range but will be down In this country
shortly.

The board OF directors Of the Crystal

in the directors room of the Iron
County National Bank last Thursday
evening and organized as indicated
above. The directors went outside of
its own membership for treasurer as
Robert Munns has looked after the
finances Of base ball for Crystal Falls
since the time that our memory run
meth not TO the contrary.
After organizing. the matter OF in-
ances were taken up and IL was decid-
ed to appoint soliciting committee to
canvass the city for funds. The park
will require great deal OF work this
year and IL was decided TO ask the city
to make an appropriation for park
purposes, not alone ON the base ball
hut on the property OF the
school board TO the north A few
hundred dollars spent 40 there will
afford the people a base ball park and
also a grove for picnics, etc.
Manager Corcoran was instructed TO
get four men TO I'LL mp the vacancies on
the teaIn. Ground keeper Holmes was
instructed to begin Monday TO improve
the diamond and reset the fence.
The schedule committee was In.
structed to meet last night and get ont
a schedule 10 present 10 the league
meeting which is being held at Ish-
peming this afternoon.
IL Is probable that the season will
open May IA Crystal Falls will play
Saturday and Sunday games but Mar.
luetts will play only Sunday games.
The directors thought best 10 have
saturday games as there are great
many people who do not attend Sun
lay games but who want TO see base
ball and II Is no more tnan fair that
'hese people shall have an opportunity
70 see the teams play.
One particular reason for asking the
;ity TO contribute is that the grand
'tand and bleechers are not any too
'afe owing 10 the neglect OF tne past
wo years and 10 Is proposed to make

're allowed In them. IL Ia the duty OF
