an assured fact that the road will
be built in time to ship ore next
season. Several surveys have been
made of a proposed route, the most
feasible one being an extension
from the Swallow & Hopkins spur
at Winton. 10000 tons of ship
able ore is now on stock at section
80. This was produced in the
work of drifting, etc., and does not
represent any actual mining. 1t is
supposed that when the preliminary
work is completed and actual min
ing is begun, large amount of ore
can be hoisted as the development
of the mine is being most thoroughly
accomplished. 1t is estimated that
100000 tons will be sent forward
the first season after the
road is in. At present a crew of
11o men is employed. Residences
are being built for the force and
more men are being added as fast
as can be secured. Section 80 is
certainly a busy appearing place.
No action has as yet been taken
by the company which proposed to
establish town at Robinson Lake
although it is an assured fact that
a townsite will be plated as soon
as conditions warrant.
The White Iron company is
showing up excellent results at the
LaChance property near the Roy
at Tower. The White Iron people
are pushers and it is to be hoped
their efforts will bring the proper
reward. Nothing is said by the
management regarding the work on
their Ely property, but it is ex-
pected that operations will be re-
sumed little later in the season.
Capt. Kent who has a crew of
men in No. S shaft of the Chandler
reports excellent Roadway in open
ing the abolished shaft. A small
crew is at present employed in
cleaning out the shaft and putting
in timber where needed. Machin-
cry will soon be put in
when the work of getting into shape
will be improved. John Costin
and E. D. Mcneil of Virginia, the
active members of the firm doing
the work were in the city yesterday
on an inspection trip.
No new mining or exploration
companies were incorporated this
week so far as we have heard but
the Banner Vermilion Iron company
is in process of incubation. John
R. Randall of Duluth is to be pre-
sident and Julius Block, formerly
state treasurer, is to be secretary
and treasurer. The lands to be
explored by the company are in
section 26, 63-12.
Four forties in section /, 62-13,
will be drilled by John Helmer, the
work to begin in about two weeks.
The land is located only few
miles from this city. E. c. Ken
nedy & Co., will also explore lands
in that vicinity early in the spring.

B. O. Strachan and John Nc
Curdy, chief and assistant mining

than the McCotmber. By many il
is thought that only short time
will elapse before the McComber is
heard from.
Moe Bros. of Virginia have re-
ceived commission from the Mar
quette & Vermilion Iron company
to drill the company's property in
62-14. The part to be explored
with drill will be the southwest
half of section 10. The surface
indications are most excellent on
this property. Some exploratory
work by means of test pits has
been done.
1t is presumed that the Mime
apolis parties who recently secured
an option on the old Bacon claim
south from o. G. Korb, will soon
begin exploratory work.
The drills are plugging away at
the works of the Armstrong Lake
Mining company at the lake of the
above name. It has been said that
some ore has been. encountered by
the drills. The work is under the
supervision of John Helmer who
has met with much success on the
Mesaba range. This company coll
trolls the Sang, Levy, Goetchius
and Snyder lands.
The Minnesota Steel & Iron
company has been incorporated
under the laws of the state to ex-
plore for, mine and manufacture
iron, with a capitalization of 81 ,0O0-
900. The property which this
company controls is just directly
south of the Roy mine and adjoins
the LaChance property. A shaft
will be sunk at once. A we'll de-
fined outcrop exists on this prop
erty.
The work at the North American
at Tower Junction is looming up
in excellent shape. especially the
surface work. The foundations
for the machinery plants have been
placed and contractor Holmes
informs us that he will set the
large boilers this week. The best
of machinery is being installed, the
Wessinger company of Duluth
having the contract to supply
everything needed and all is to be of
the best. Lumber is on the ground
for the erection OF the necessary
buildings and coal and mining
timber is being stacked up. The
work on the shaft is now progress
ing, the water at first having ham
pered the successful and rapid
sinking. Three shifts of eight
hours each are being worked and
the work is going on seven days a
week. Supt. Chamberlain, former
ly with the Oliver people at the
Soudan mines, has charge of the
work and under his able supervis-
ion the same is progressing rapidly.
President Walsh of the company
makes the statement that the North
American will ship ore before
August next. The shaft is being
sunk in greensboro and will be put
down to considerable depth
before drifting will begin.
We are informed that ore has been
shown on both sides of the green
stone ledge that on the north being
soft ore and that on the south side
being of a hard variety similar to
the Soudan ore.
Machinery is being taken to the
works of the Vernilion Steel &
Iron Co., in section 5,a62-14 over
the ice of Lake Vermilion. The
plant will be Similar to that install
at the North American and made
by the same firm. Diamond drill

 MT. Normand was born in Montreal Canada, the son of Francis and Mary Ann Cote Normand. He was one of a family Of eighteen brothers and sisters all of whom are now dead. Thirty seven years ago Mir. Normand came to Taftvilie from Montreal, and with the exception of one year spent in Hope Valley. R. l.. he has since spent all his life here. For some time he followed the trade of shoemaker and then en- tered the mployment of the Ponenlal company. where he worked until ill health caused his retirement several years ago. Mir. Normand was "a mem Der of no organizations, but counted Q wide circle Of friends who will regret his death and sympathize with his family.

NOT A PERFECT PAPER.
Poor Showing by Applicants for Gen.
 sus Enumerators' Jobs.

Not one of the 1.40o people in this state who took the examination for census enumerators was perfect, ac- cording to Prof William B. Bailey of New Haven, supervisor for Connecti- cut. He said he expected that there might at least be one who would turn in correct paper, but was surprised to find that not alone was there no perfect paper, but the majority of those who took the examinations fell far be- low the mark necessary to gain an ap- pointment.
 Professor Bailey has just completed examining the papers and Tuesday night sent 130 of them to Washington with a dation that those who had taken them be appointed There will be in all a little over 700 who passed the examination, each one of which will be recommended for ap- pointment. The first batch was sent to Washington and the rest will go within the next few days
 Many of the examination papers had to be thrown out owing to poor writing, said Professor Bailey. Then again there were some assessors and tax col lectors who had taken the test. and they were not eligible. Anyone who made 50 mistakes in the city popula- ton schedule or 30 mistakes in the farm schedule failed to pass When it was taken into consideration that many of those who took the examina- ton were students and attorneys 1t seems remarkable that more did not pass.
 Professor Bailey says he will an nounce the list of appointments about March 15. On April Is the work of taking the census will begin.

CANDIDATE AGAINST BISHOP.
Contest Promised in Selection of De partment Commander of G. A. R.

There promises to be a contest for the position of commander of the Con- necticut department of the Grand Army of the Republic at the session in New London in April. Already Sedgwick post. No l, has endorsed Edson $. Bishop of Hartford for the place, and Douglass Fowler post of South Nor walk wants R. J. Cutbill to command the department. The latter is one of the past commanders of the post and for years has been one of the hardest workers for the organization. The members of the South Norwalk post expect that all the Grand Army men in the western end of the state will support Cutbill. Those in the eastern part are already pledged to Bishop and as the latter is United at Hartford, he will undoubtedly have the powerful support of many posts in the center of the state.
 Sedgwick post has already sent out letter as an endorsement for Mar shal Bishop. Undoubtedly Fowler post will soon send out a letter endorsing CutbiIl.
 MT. Bishop enlisted at the age of Is in July, 1862, and served until the close of the war, receiving his discharge June 6, 1885. He entered the service as private of Company F, Twenty sixth Iowa infantry, which was com manded by his father. and returned as captain fof the same company.
 He was in the western army and was in most of the engagements of that splendid army The siege of Vicksburg g and the Skirmishes leading up to it, Lookout Mountain, Missionary Ridge. the Atlanta campaign, the march to the sea and the campaign up through the Carolinas are the principal parts of his experience.
 He was mustered in as d member of the Grand Army in post No. 1 soon after it's organiza ton. By reason of changes Of residence he has been a member of post 42, of which he was commander in 1883. He was also a member of post No. r. for several years, but on his return to Norwich he resumed his membership in post No l. and has always been active in promoting it's welfare, having served as it's adjutant for some years, senior vice commander and commander.
 In the department he has served upon the staff of Commanders Simonds and Boudren, being the department in spector under the latter. He -sas also in the council of administration for several years.
 He has twice served upon the staff of the commander in chief, once as aide and once as assistant inspector.
 He has been the division commander flee he rendered signal service and is still working for the advancement of that important auxiliary of the Grand Army.
 Mir. Cutbill is we'll known through out the state. He is engaged in the wholesale and retail fish business in South Norwalk and Danbury and has served in various public offices in South Norwalk
