TRAIN SERVICE TO ALPHA
North Western Started Running Trains
There Thursday Afternoon


There Thursday Afternoon
TraIn service over the North w est.
ern road has been established between
this city and Alpha so that person
can now go from Crystal Falls to the
new town and get back in reasonably
short time
The present arrangement is tor the
switch engine TO haul passenger car
back and forth between Mastodon and
Alpha but with the issuing of new
time card, which will take place In a
week or two, the regular train will be
scheduled to run into the new town
on its way to Crystal Falls and
Stager
The new arrangement means that
trains over the North Western will be
at least all half an hour later in arriv-
ing in Crystal Falls than under the
present schedule and likewise. trains
leaving Crystal Falls for Stager will
have TO leave an half hour earlier than
they do now.
/ A passing track has been built at
4, Alpha whereby the engine can run
around the train and il is likely that
that is what will be done rather than
run in and back out Supt Andrews
was here last Wednesday brt he had
not just decided how things would be
arranged yet excepting that for the
present the switch engine will handle
the coach on the Dunn branch.
Railroad traffic to Alpha is very
heavy at the present time owing TO
the large amount OF building going on
there At one tins this week there
were % carloads of material standing
on the siding at the Aplhs spur so
that some idea OF the immensity of
the traffic can be CLEANED from that
fact

COPPER MINERS STRIKE
Much Rough Stuff Pulled OF last Week
But ouietness Reigrs Now


Quietness reigned the major portion
OF the week in the copper country
strike. y contrast with the week pre-
pious when riots innumerabIe were re-
vorted from all over the affected dis.
trict
The riotous actions lead most people
TO belive that the strike was on ITS
last legs and that the rough stuff was
the result of the desperateness Of the
strike In its dying moments
The wrath of the strikers seemed to
have risen against the new men that
are being imported IN large numbers
into the copper country. In conversa-
tion which the writer had with a
gentleman from the copper country
last week we were given very good
account of the character of these new
men. Our informant says that they
are almost all American born and Of
English. Irish German or American
parentage. Many of them are Young
men and what married men there are
among them are figuring to fetch their
families to the copper country and be-
come permanent residents. In tact, it
is certain that the working force of
the peninsula will have added 10 IL
permanently large number ct Am.
ericans as result OF this copper
miners strike.
The stoning o. trains has practically
ceased The railroad companies took
up the matter with the state and T..
S. authorities and the strikers con-
cluded that they made grave mis-
take when they monkeyed with Uncle
Sam
The trial Of those charged with
violating the injunction against
picketing has been going on all week
In the Houghton circuit before Judge
o Brien. The accused are finding ont
that IL is serious matter to violate
an injunction.

BURNING ROCK
IN EVIDENCE.
MINERS OF THIS SECTION MUST
fIGnRe WITH THIS DRAWBACK
WEST SIDE MINES AFFECTED
Experts Say That Walls Underground Are
Liable TO Commence Burning Any Day
as Openings Are Extended

In the West Side department OF this
issue appears an item telling of--a tre
that broke out underground at the
Fogarty mine at Palatka. In the
Britsol mine fire. similar In origin,
has developed during the week. and
may seriously affect the working at
that property.
The tire in the Bristol. like that in
the Fogarty and at the various rock
piles of the mines of Iron county. Is
caused by the oxidizing of the sulphur
in the rock OF the mine. These fires
are supposed to start from friction OF
some kind that causes the combustion.
The portion of the Bristol affected is
in the new workings and will not only
seriously affect the output but will
mean big bill of expense to the
operators as the only escape from the
deadly gisses is to bulk-head up all of
the openings an try 20 cut off air from
the place affected.
Workmen are now busy trying to
seal mp the affected part OF the pro-
perty. In order TO CLOSE IL up effect
ually a ysluabple portion of the ore
body must be cut off and the operators
fear that the output of the mine will
be seriously curtailed as result.
Rock fires underground is condi-
tion that the mine operators must con-.
tend with more AN more as the years
90 by. Mr.. Higgins the expert in
charge of the u. S. rescue car. says
that in his opinion the day is not far
distant when this menace will be
brought more an more 10 the atten-
tion of mine operators. The Bristol
Is the only mine affected on this side
of the county and il Is only within
the last year that any signs of sulphur
fires have been in evidencre there.
The rock in the pit took fire about the
first of the present year. II is evident
that in the opening mp operations at
this property. rock OF q different nature
has been met with for within the year
another new fire has commenced under
ground where the new work is In pro-
gress.
Rock fires are nothing new to west
side mines but until recently the fires
have been confined to the waste piles.
The first underground fire OF the kind
was at the Youngs several years ago
when the rock In q certain portion
took fire. A small shaft led from close
to the affected portion 10 the surface
and Captain Looney SIMPLY sealed up
the place and added stack at the
mouth of the shaft so that for n long
time 1t resembled the chimney of n
factory The FIRE evidently burned
itself out soon for It ceased smoking
but as the room was never opened up
the conditions inside are not known.
The Fogarty fire is the second one
and undoubtedly il will not be the
last. The fire at the Fogarty is we'll
confined and hole is being sunk
from snrface TO give an outlet to the
fumes
