NEW ROAD TO oNToNAooN?

Get Another Railroad

Has 1t ever occurred to You that II
would be feasible to get another rail-
road into this village from the copper
country without much expense to eth
or the village or to the railroad COM
pany and that it would undoubtedly
pay the company and be a good thing
FOR the village of Ontonagon?
We'll, we could do il azh there would
nave to be built only about seven or
eight miles OF track either. The on
tonagon Flint Steel road runs east
OF mere about four or five miles almost
directly toward Greenland and the CON
per Range road runs into Greenland
ana IL looks very practical and also
possible to get the Copper Range peo-
pie in line to make satisfactory mr.
rangements with the Ontonagon g.
Fllnt Steel road so that they could ex-
tend their road from Greenland and
meet the Ontonagon & Flint Steel road
and thus have another road direct
from here to the copper country. This
would give us two freight lines also as
the Northwestern and South shore
could be Induced to carry freight from
southern points and deliver II TO the
copper Range at comparatively the
same rates that are now being charged.

ter acquainted with deposits In this
territory and the methods pursued in
mining copper and reducing it to the
commercial metal, Lagoon L. Mclean,
financial editor Of the Boston Com
mercial Bulletin. has returned to the
eastern city with his eyes opened. In
a talk with the reporter just previous
to leaving Houghton Mr.. Mclean
touched upon the low price of copper
and the pessimistic attitude of many
copper country people because of the
grogy condition of tn, rlIet.
In the course of this talk Mr. Nc
Lean took occasion to remark that
Boston and other eastern investors in
copper are also much detected because
of this depression of the market but
declared that the lake coppers have
always been the best ones for these
investors to buy and remarked that
they are becoming to realize this more
each year. He says that, as a gener-
al proposition investors have made
money on their lake stocks and lost 1t
on Montana and other western copper
propositions. The writer had much
to say regarding the up-to-date me-
thods employed in the mines and
smelters of the district especially

fcient mechanical devices which he
