RECOVER RICH
COPPER CARGO
Divers at Work on Pewabic Sunk
Forty Seven Years Ago

Captain Petrie, well known wreck
er. and a crew Of divers. are endeavor-
ing To recover the rich copper cargo
that went down with the steamer Pc
wabic. which was sunk in Thunder
Bay A. years ago in a collision with
It's sister ship. the Meteor.
Thirty lives were los, when the Pc
wabic sank August g, 1896. The Pc
wabic carried about 45C tons of cop
per. Numerous attempts have been
made TO recover the valuable metal
but as the old wreck lies in 160 feet
OF water the worl, of previous eNpedi-
tions were in vain. Last week how o.
ever. diver descended 10 the old
wreck and actually handled some of
the copper, but was compelled To re-
turn to the surface when warned by
telephone that the lake was becoming
rough
The present expedition is in COM
mand of Captain Petrie. who has u
men and the wrecking steamer Doug
las While Captain Petrie refuses 10
talk. saving the work OF the expedition
is none of the public's business and ais
crew are forbidden TO talk. II is known
that those in charge of the expedition
believe the $50 tons Of copper will be
recovered and can be brought TO the
surface on DAYS when the lake is quiet
Two improved diving suits which
the crew call iron men are usel
in the diving operations. The divers
are inside these Iron men" and with
limitations can work in the bottom of
the lake below the surface 1f0 feet al
most as well as on dry land, Each iron
man" is connected with the vessel
above 10y telephone and the divers be-
low The surface can talk TO those above
ms well as receive messages.
The wreck lies foJr miles ois
Thunder Bay island and about Is
miles from the mouth of Thunder Bay
river.
At the present price of the metal
the Pewabics copper cargo is worth
over sls3.OOU.

SEEK ASTOR WEALTH
Heir to slOO,0O0,000 Receives
Letters From Many Persons.
Women Propose Marriage and Men
Ask Him to Become Partners In
Business-others Make
Odd Requests.

New York.-Vincent Astor's latest
trouble is a deluge OF letters from
persons anxious to advise him as TO
the best manner of spending his $780,
600, 900 inheritance. Many OF the let
ters are from women, telling OF their
great love and conveying offers Of mar
riage.
Old women and young women, bra
zen and demure, thin and fat ones.
pretty and ugly. have taken their pens
In hand, not without hope Of gain.
Some have pretended TO bespeak Mr..
Astor's interest in behalf OF causes
other than purely personal ones, but
most of them have been frankly smit-
ten in the desire to call the young
mans attention to certain persons that
he otherwise might overlook.
Some of the writer's have waited in
front of the Astor estate Offices In
Twenty.sixth street for a glimpse OF
the boy. Most have mistaken the
handsome mick" Biddle for the OBJ
ject of their curiosity, much to Bid
dies embarrassment. He Is an exc
cutor of the Astor estate, is about thir>
ty-four and looks younger.
And 1t isn't only through the me-
dium OF letters that women have
pressed their suits. The telephone has
been kept pretty busy, both at the Of
fees and at the Fifth avenue house,
with girlish voices whose owners were
anxious to have opportunities to meet
the heir of millions. The reasons as
signed were as many as the letters
contained.
Some of the writer's want the young
man TO do something worthy of his
name" There have been suggestions
that he finance the suffragette cause.
Others want him to use his fortune to
buy up breweries and distilleries and
put them out of business for the sake
of promoting the cause of prohibition.
Comparatively few of the letters writ
ten by women are from inventors. This
class OF communications almost always
bore a mans signature.
Things suggested for worthy use
OF the money ranged from patent
bung-starters to methods OF bridging
Behrin,-. strait. Included in the ap-
peals are those of professional beg
gars. Churches, schools and libraries
divide honors as to the numbers of
their letters with propositions from
business houses that offer him inter-
ests for ever so small sum.
Most of these letters, of course. need
no answer. Those from women on
subjects Of the heart are entirely ig-
nored. Many of the latter come ac.
companied by photographs. Two OF
the fair correspondents sent as their
own postcard, pictures of Lillian Rus
sell, from which they had forgotten to
scratch the name.

SAYS BEAVER
is DESTRUCTIVE


That beavers are causing thousands
OF dollars Of damage annually in the
upper peninsula by noodlrg the low
lands by means ot their dams, is the
assertion OF {. IL. Worcester. of Chas-
sell. the wen known mmberman. in a
letter written by aim 10 a member Of
the legislative committee Of the Up
per Peninsula Sportsmen's association.
The .etter follows;
For The past several years il has
been constantly reported TO me by men
employed BY our different concerns
that the beavers were causing ms Il
great deal Of loss, and recently l hal e.
received cruisers report or lot OF
timber which We own just south OF
the Pictured Rocks In ranges l6 and n
IN this case showing dams which have
been built by the beavers and indicat-
ing a flooded area which embraces
some of our most valuable standing
cedar We estimate that If these dams
are not destroyed and the beavers kept
out Of that dis rict We VIII be SUBJ
jected 10 d loss OF close to $4,000.
We have already lost il that district
timber in excess of 5000.
Il believe that this same condition
exists with all other land owners in
the northern peninsula There Is no
doubt but that the beaver is a oestruc.
tive pest, and / would like 10 see a bill
drafted with provision TO pay a bounty
for the destruction of The animal, as
they are of no possible good 10 any
body and they DO an enormous amount
of damage. Their chief occupation i'm
lie is to Hoo. the low lands et the
country.
'"fhere IS a great deal Of talk by the
Legislature about conservation of tim
ber holdings. a movement to destroy
the beaver would be IN line with that
movement. They are making a vigcr-
Gus effort in ranges 13. IA and 10 along
the tne Of ,he South Shore road tc
establish farming communities there.
Investigation by your committee will
develop the fact that the entire country
embraced in those ranges has been
made how, wet country very difficult
10 drain by the action OF the beavers.
All of the streams cOursing north and
south In that territory will be found
10 be blocked every few miles with
beaver dams"
