News Snapshots
OF the Week
lustfIeld

This week marked the passing Of a
name that has been actively connected
with the business interests Of Crystal
Falls since the time Superior avenue
was hewed out of the wilderness.
Since the time that sunlight first
shown along the turrow of felled trees
that the woodman 3 axe drove through
the maple grove that covered the site
OF Crystal Falls the name "Lustfeld' p
has shown out To the world from n
business block of this city. That
name, in business way. has been co
existent with Crystal Falls; it shared
in all of its victories and all IT'S de
feats; IN its ups and downs; it was al.
ways prominent in any movement for
the betterment Of the community.
Since the first issue OF The Diamond
Drill came off the old fashioned jobber
upon which Claude Atkinson printed
this paper in It's infancy, the name
Justified has appeared upon the
front mage.
That name has bsen carried through
all the vicissitudes Of business with
honor IL has always been held as
good as gold TO outsiders ard local
people came TO look upon it as the
nerve center of Crystal Falls retail
business
But. Il is TO appear no more The
hour has come when that honored name
will no more be numbered among the
active business interests Of this com
Mr. a. A. Lustheld. who
succeeded to the business of his broth
er A. Lustheld has been compelled !.
by his continued illness to sell the bust
ness. IL has been turned over TO an.
other.
This mere, ordinary business trans
action may seem too trivial to warrant
all this adoo. especially TO those to
whom length OF residence has not en-
deared 1t by association. but to those
who are pioneers and semi pioneers, a
different feeling springs up in the
heart at this parting of the ways.
We are pleased Of the opportunity to
say word Of praise in our crude way
for the name OF Lust6eld. We knew
the founder OF the business as closely
AZ we DO many of or own relations and
when be passed to his long rest we
the great loss that Crystal
Falls had met with and bowed N sor-
row along with the other neighbors
and friends.
But, we saw the business continued
not just as il had been, but along
similar lines-it continued to grow
md prosper and we were glad.
Suddenly reverse came Mr.. A. A.
Iustheld's neaith gave way. He has
been fighting for six months TO keep
ip the business but the worry has
,roved too much for 'him in his sick
'ed and he Is obliged 10 surrender.
dr. Ely Miller succeeded TO the bust

hat we can maze for Mr.. Miller IL
hat he may continue the business with

Ed. KeIIy's Hotel
 Is We'll PatrOnized

Visitors to the fourishing town of Diskaket, the principal supply point for the old Innoko diggings, should not forget to call upon Ed Kelly, who runs first-class hotel dining room and bar at that place.
 Mr. Kelly took over the hotel from John F. Baird last year and catered to quite large number of people who passed over the trail between Iditarod and the Yukon during the winter fol- lowing. Mrs. Kelly is celebrated for the excellence of her cooking.
 Now that the dark nights are upon us, the beacon over the hotel which was such a welcome sight to mushers and freighters is once again in opera ton, and when you espy it some dark and lonesome night you will know that you will soon be able to boast of having seen Kelly"

Case Of John Phipps.

Boston. Not all the tales Of vast
treasures buried deep under the sea
are evolved In the minds Of novelists.
Robert Louis Stevenson and a dozen
other writer's have made such stories
famous, but there have been men,
real men, who have profited by Sc
crets Of buried gold, real gold. In
fact, some of the real stories Of lost
and recovered treasure can give
points to romance and beat It with
ease.
The successful adventures of John
Phipps are case in point. Phipps,
who had been ship s carpenter, to-
wards the end Of the seventeenth
century, spent years trying to con-
vince various peers that there lay a
vast Spanish treasure under the sea
OF Hispaniola. At last. the Duke Of
AIbemarle lent him a ship, with the
result that, after year Of adventure
Phipps returned to England. bringing
with him recovered treasure worth
81, 100000
Phipps' welcome when he returned
to England with this freight resulted,
through the influence of the Duke Of
Albemarle, who shared his treasure
in knighthood and an appointment as
governor of Massachusetts
Ever since the time of Phipps, the
search for gold has gone on. How
ever, although centuries have passed,
many million still lies on the bot
tom Of the ocean, and it may continue
there centuries longer
Perhaps the most valuable sunken
treasure in the world is now lying at
the bottom of Vigo bay. The Spanish.
in 1902, to avoid capture, scuttled
their largest ships laden with treas
ure, the harvest Of four years loot
ing in Mexico. The treasure, in gold,
silver and previous stones. is esti-
mated to be worth $10,0OO,OO0.
