Crystal Falls in 1911" and as fast as
a delegate arrived in Baraga he was
tagged with one OF those hadges and
became Crystal Falls supporter.
During the grand lodge session 1t de-
veloped that Crystal Falls has made
the greatest gain In membership dur
ing the past year, the local lodge hsv-
ing initiated 81 members in the last ~

ORE SHIPMENTS
ON RECORD SCALE
JUNE SHIPMENTS WERE LARGEST or
ANY MONTH IN HISTORY
CAN EASILY SHIP so, 600. 600 TON
shipments From the Crystal Falls Mines
viii be Greatly Below Normal II no
Revival Takes Place.

June 1910 saw an ore shipment from
the Lake Superior regions of Z. .8i6, 7gD.
the largest months shipment In the
history OF the trade. The largest
months shipment previous TO that was
In August 1909 but that months bust
ness registered 1913. $50 tons less than
last month.
From the accomplishment last month
IL can readily be seen that so. 900. 600
tons Of ore can be shipped in saeson
from the Lake Superior district and
the interests will not have TO exert
themselves very much above the pres-
ent normal to accomplish that feat.
Ore shipments from the Crystal Falls
district are very slack at the present
time. The daily output is being ship
ped at most Of the mines but at some
the lower grade of ore Is being placed
on the stock pile.
The Mansfield mine is the only one
about here that has shipped its stock
pile. The shovels at the Corrigan-
mines have all been closed.
The Pickanos- Mathor mines are not as
active as it was expected they would
DO. The Hemlock which has always
been able 20 ship it's product has sus-
pended shipments this week A new

ID at the property Is probably respon-
Iible for the interruption but there is

his residence and saloon were quaran-

with Ill health caused him to worry.
When he left Florence Monday night
Mr.. Berquist took $94O In money with
him, but when the body was searched
by the coroner ia Chicago on Wednes-
day not cent Of money was found.
This leads Go the belief that he was
robbed by Chicago holdup men, and,
brooding over his pennliess and ap.
parently helpless condition, his mind
again became unbalanced and suicide
followed.
The remains were shipped TO Flor
ence Thursday night friends there
