WREcKING TUG AGROUND.
Reid Finds Submerged Pump Of Little
Use on Moreland

~ 90 Ou NiOiSiaHbs
The lighter Manistique arrived in
Houghton yesterday afternoon and
commenced work on the tug Reid,
which went fas aground while opposite
the Michigan smelter this week. The
Reid was released at o'clock last
evening after the Manistique had
worked about five hours on her.
Capt. Reid has already met with a
number of discouragements i'm his work
on the MOreland. The big new sub
merged pump, which was prepared for
this job failed To operate satisfactori-
ly and Capt. Reid came to Houghton
TO secure a new engine. At first he
planned TO $50 To Chicago to purchase
this engine, but found that Pryor and
Sons of Houghton had an engine he
could use and he was successful in Sc
curing it,
The submerged pump consists of a
centrifugal pump at the bottom of a
steel tower which is submerged. on
the top of the tower is a turbine en-
CINE, which is supposed to operate the
pump through "a vertical shaft. When
the pump was set up this week, IL was
found that the engine did not develop
enough power and Capt. Reid came
to Houghton in search of "A new en-
CINE. lie was on his return when the
Reid went aground and as soon as the
boat is released. he expects to pro-
coed TO Eagle River to continue work
ON the Moreland.

NEW HAVEN MEN LOSERS
 IN INSUR ANCE SCHEME
Economic Life Stock Brings But a
 Very Small Payment.

New Haven. Nov. 24.--The first and final payment to subscribers for the stock of the Economic Life Insurance company of Philadelphia, has been received by some of the subscribers in this city, who had agreed to take what they could get for the stock. The payment was~about six per cent and comes from the Postal Insurance company of Wilmington, Del, which absorbed the Economic after the lat ter had been placed in the receivers s hands.
 The Economic was promoted here by Ex-Police Commissioner Arthur N. Dean, who, with his agents disposed of some $15,0OO to $20,000 worth of stock. Consdera ble feeling has been manifested against Dean by those who invested, as it became apparent some months after purchase that the stock would perhaps be almost worth less Dean sold most of the stock while he was police commissioner and some of the investors, 1t is said, included a number of men on the force and also quite few cafe pro prietors
 The list of subscribers also incIud- ed number of we'll known business men among whom are c. A. Moelfer, George T. White, John J. Kelley, Louis Linder, Henry Fresenius and c. w. Murdock.
 Dean left the Economic Life when it's management changed hands and has always insisted that the stock would be good investment in time.
