SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED
Claims That Worthless Land is Being Sold

Claims That Worthless Land is Being Sold
Settlers Should Have Attention.
The coming meeting OF the Upper
Peninsula Development Bureau, sche-
duled for Marquette on Dec. 3. should
take up the complaints that are being
heard about the peninsula over the
transactions Of big land company in
the east end OF the peninsula. 10 is
claimed by those in position TO Judge
that worthless land is being sold 20
prospective settlers at high values and
that the transactions can only end in
disaster to the purchaser and bring the
upper peninsula into disrepute as an
agricultural section.
The complaints come chiefly from
persons living in the vicinity of Seney
where this concern is operating exten-
sivsly and where ID is claimed consid-
erable Of what is known as the Seney
swamp is being divided up into parcels
and sold.to prospective buyers at prices
ranging from $40 10 $40 per acre.
Those who are acquainted with that
particular section claim tina. this land
is not good farming land and that the
climatic conditions there are such that
a frost is generally recorded for this
section each month of the year.
In justification OF the transactions OF
the concern il is claimed that Pres.
Green OF the Upper Peninsula Develop
ment Bureau and some other of the
officials made an inspection of the
lands in question u year or so ago and
gave the concern clean bill Of health.
Hearsay evidence Is not sufficient to
convict these people upon and many of
the members OF the bureau AMI others
who have land To sell or are Interested
IN the development of the upper psnin
sula as an agricultural section think
that this is one of the legitimate ends
for which the bureau was organized
and that AN extensive inquiry should
be made into the matter by the direc.
tors. IL these people are not selling
gold bricks they should be- exhonorated
but II they are the bureau should give
thuse operations the widest publicity
so that prospective settlers may not be
swindled out of tneir money.

The volume of exploratory work 70.
mains about tine same In the Crystal
Falls district this year as il was last.
Here and there change occurs in one
place drill drops of hut in another
one Is added, no that the volume IL
kept the same and at the present time
there is very large amount OF expior-
atory work being done in this section.
The Crystal Falls Amasa section has
lost an exploration and gained one
during the past few weeks. The loss
was on section 20, 44--33 where the
drill work that was being done by 81.
Clair for some local Iron River parties
has been suspended. The drill was
loaded at Balsam last week and shipped
away.
The abandoning of work on section
26 does not mean that there is no ore
there by long way. Excellent results
were met with in the years work but
the concern that was financing the ex-
ploratory work was made up OF local
parties and had not the capital 10 lay
out and carry out program Of syste-
matte drilling that is necessary 20
prove up that property. The formation
WAS cut and IL WAS rich one as, that
formation goes. but not rich enough 10

place for some concern which needs ore
TO look for paying mine and some
day one will be found there
The gain was at Nett River where
Cole & Mcdonald are installing drills
TO do lot Of work. The Nett River
section has had three trials. one by the
Whteside interests at Duluth. one by
the NJ. A. Hanna people and now
comes the third test.
In the Mastodon section there are
signs of advancement The ore find
reported last week by the Oliver Iron
Mining company is proving to be-
very good one and while the extent
cannot yet be given, il looks as il there
is an extensive find Of it there. -
The j. N. LoDgyear interests have
increased the number of the drills that
they have had AT work on their section
l3 lind and 1t looks as if they intend 20
expand their operations considerably
Taken as whole tho Crystal Falls
district has much exploratory work be-
ing pushed within its bounds. One
section. that lying between the Raven

without any work being done on il but
ere long there will be something done
