Lost His Eyesight.

Mack Morrison was severely injuret
by blast at the Caspian mine Thurs
day. He was in charge of crew of
men engaged in blasting out some dirt
close TO some steam pipes. Several
shots were fired that were not heavy
enough to break the rock. when Nor
rison charged mp the holes with a
slightly stronger dose and lighted the
fuses. The men supposed-that both OF
the charges exploded and Mack started
TO investigate. AS he was walking 10
wards the spot. about twenty feet
away, the second charge exploded.
Luckily the charge was not heavy
enough 30 break the hole 70 that but
little of the ore was scattered by the
shot. One piece struck Mack In the
right eye destroying the sight perman-
emily. He received other minor In

Theodore Spanner Dead.

Theodore Spanner. an old and respec-
ted citizen of this place, died suddenly
at mis- home last Wednesday morning
at an early hour. His death was caus-
cd by heart disease, an aiiliction from
which be had Suffered for a number of
years Owing to his critical condi-
tion. his death was not unexpected
Mr.. Spanner was 81 years OF age and
was born at Wausau. Finland. of Swed
ish descent. He came to America 20
years ago and most of the time he has
been a resident OF Crystal Falls
For the past three years he has been
unable TO work owing to his critical
illness.
He is survived by wife and fam
ily Of five children, three boys and two
girls
The funeral will be held from the
house tomorrow afternoon. Mr.. Span.
ner was a member OF several lodges of
the city.
The remains will be inferred in the
local cemetery.

A BUSINESS MEMS ASSN.
Shall Such an Organization be Formed in
Crystal Fals7

l.. A. Henry has been Interviewing
the business men of the city during
the week, sounding them on the advis-
ibilitv Of organizing business men q
association in this city
Every city OF the size OF Crystal
Falls has such an association. No
place is alive without one It is TO be
hoped that MIR. Henry will meet with
success in his efforts to get the bust
ness men organized
A business mems association can do
a whole lot for town which cannot
be accomplished without unity of
effort. Particularly is this true in
train service. Take for instance the
discontinuing Of the IL 80 and 2:i5
trains on the Milwaukee road. 1t is a
small matter; the chances are that the
trains do not pay. but 10 costs the rail
road company only ton of coal extra
and half the mileage to operate the
train, a mere pittance. When one cen
siders the amount Of business originat-
ing in Crystal Falls, the discontinuing
OF these trains during seasons when
the railroads are not hampered with
distressing snow conditions is mere
boy play.
Take the North Western station.
An unsanitary. unsightly old shack
that the great North Western sytsem
should be ashamed OF. Not a. toilet in
the building, Notwithstanding that the
sewers run within 80 feet OF the build
mig yet, this structure endures and
will continue TO endure until there is
a united effort made by the business
men OF the city TO do something to-
wards alleviating the difficulty. We
might add that in this case the health
department of this city is derelict in
its duty when IL allows conditions to
exist such As do exist there.
BY all means, let's have business
mems association. Don't let politics
OF personal aggrandizement enter into
IL. Keep IL free from entangling
alliances with but one watchword the
good of Crystal Falls. and we'll be on
the map again.

The Diamond Drill has received
authentic information to the effect
that Mr.. Won Platen has practically
decided to locate his saw mill at Iron
Mountain. We understand, however,
that all logging operations will be con.

promise Of a chemical plant little
later our neighbor will still hum
along as In the days OF old. The
group of timber adjoining the Won
Platen tract. across the river from
Pentoga is known as the Cadillac tim
Der. Several parties are now figuring
on this and we are advised they are
considering purchasing their Mill Site
from +. q. Hood 81 Co., and locating
at Pentoga. Iron county will be glad
to hear this news and with a chemical

The present workings of the mine
are 1900 feet down from surface, the
1lth and 18th Jewels. The shaft ia be-
ing sunk another lift and IL il expect
ed that new level will be added dur.
ing the summer.
When the present working shaft was
put down il was thought that IL was
located so far from the ore body that IL
would never be in danger. Recent de-
yelopment shows that this theory was
In error as the shaft is now In ore.
The system Of mining at this pro-
perty Is somewhat different from that
at the Tobin because Of difference in
the character of the ore. The stopping
Is done by leaving the broken dirt in
the stope to work upon. These slopes
are all started of from sut level
about 30 feet above the main level and
the dirt Is drawn out through raise
In the bottom OF the stope leading TO
the main level below where Il runs in
10 the cars and is hauled by an electric
motor to the shaft.
The track system Ia about the same
at this mine as at the Tobin, the
switches and diamond crossing being
duplicates OF those decribed last week.
Captain Jacka Is stickler for uni.
formity and his main crossouts are,
whenever they can be, driven In
mathiniatically straight line which
makes his levels show up we'll.

We noticed that there was no scurry-

a dining room on each working level.
Asked how the men took to the pro-
Ject Mr.. Richards said that at first 1t
was objected to. the men being sus-
picious that the object Of IL was 10 get
more work out of them but that after
IL was tried.the.men liked IL and pre-.
fer the new method to going to sur

the winter months and on night sniff.
Ii lessons the hazard greatly as many
OF the accidents have been due to the
crowding OF men in the cages when
going TO and returning from dinner
The men are privileged to have
warm meals brought TO the shaft each
day and at certain time the man
whose duty II is to attend to the din
ing room and the powder ascends to
surface, gathers up the pals and bas-
kets and places each-they all have
tags on on the bench under the man s
number. The men generally have
their dinners eaten by the time it
would take TO hoist them TO surface
and then they stretch out on the
benches add rest.

or for The Diamond Drill was privil-
eyed TO make trip through the Great
Western mine two weeks ago.
The Great Western property is not
being pushed for a big output this
year for the reason that there lies on
the ore docks a stock pile containing
about 400. 900 tons of this ore. some OF
il hoisted three years ago, The Great
Western has not been shipping all the
ore she produced for the last three
years and the result is that the ore
piles have been growing TO an enor-
nous size.
The Great Western orc body is a
large one but the grade of the ore has
been dropping OF late until IL has
reached class which is hard TO mar
Ket. One of the reasons for this Is the
manganese that is contained in the ore.
In some cases the manganese makes the
ore very Objectionable and in others
it does not affect IL.

BASE BALL TALK
Crystal Falls Has Been Offered a Berth in
the Marquette League.


Crystal Falls has been offered a
berth In the Marquette county base
ball league and the dead ones are com
ing To life again. Base ball has been
dead In the Falls since the days OF our
big team when we could get no games
and mad to disband after going in the
hole financially. IL came 20 life again
for a brief breathing spell last fall
but again the inability to get games
on the local grounds killed the sport
and 1t Is deader than ever.
The offer of Marquette may resuscit-
ate the game again. The proposition
is to have Crystal Falls enter the
leagae, each city TO keep all Of the
money taken in on its own grounds
While this arrangement isn't hardly
fair to the small cities of the league
who must have good teams in order to
draw crowds in the larger towns. yet
IL seem TO be looked upon with favor
by those who wish base ball and don
want Independent ball. For .our part
we would prefer to see league made
up OF Iron River, Crystal Falls. Iron
Mountain and Norway. Such an or
ganization would 10 compact pretty
well balanced and furnish good hot
rivalry.
A meeting will be held next Tuesday
TO talk over this base ball matter.
