FIRST DEER ARRIVE.
Matt Pelto Has Distinction Of Shipping
First to Hancock.

Although the open season for deer
hunting is nearly half over, it was not
until this morning that any shipments
of carcasses were received at the local
express office The first consignment
consisted of two does both shot by
Matt Pelto. who with two companions
went into the woods near Skanee last
Saturday on a hunting trip. The deer
were killed Monday morning by Mr.
pelto who returned last evening and
who reports that Fred Funkey, another
member Of the party. was also sue
cessful in filling his license. II is cx-
pected that from now on there will be
many receipts of deer carcasses, hunt
ing conditions being much improved
by the arrival of snow, which makes
tracking easier.

SEVERE AIR BLASTS.
Succession of Blasts Early Today
Arouse Hancock Residents.

AROUSE TldnCOCk noSlOcUtSs
A succession of severe shocks of the
sort locally designated as air blasts"
some of them of an unusual violence,
shook the Portage Lake district this
morning before daylight and awakened
residents from their slumbers. Two
heavy shocks occurred shortly after )
o'clock, causing buildings to tremble,
and crockery to rattle on sideboards
and shelves Several minor quakes
followed at intervals, but it was not
until about a quarter after four that
the most terrific shock of all took
place, houses being rocked on their
foundations and many dishes being
broken i'm several residences.
one resident of Hancock states that
he counted as many as fifteen shocks,
but only two of them were of n severe
character
SO far as can be learned no i'll eff
fects followed the blasts, no damage
having been reported this morning, al
though the men i'm some of the shafts
at the Quincy came to the surface be-
fore il was time to complete their
shift. Considerable alarm was caus-
ed the more timld residents, some aris-
ing from their beds when the shocks
occurred and remaining up, fearing tc
return to resume their interrupted
slumbers.

SHIPMENT DISCONTINUED.
Hancock Mine Ceases Mill Tests.
Working Force Is Reduced.

Beginning with November the
shipments of rock to the mills from
the Hancock mine have been discon-
tinued for the time being. The ship
ments have been for the purpose of
testing the output of the mine and
are generally understood to have
proven most satisfactory.
AS result of the discontinuance
of shipping it has been necessary to
lay off a few men, but the number is
stated to be very small as most OF
the men will be kept at work on the
development work in the mines
1t Is undecided when the new stamp
mill of the company will be erected
on the site purchased a couple of years
ago, an official of the company stat
ing that it probably would not be
built next year.
