of mis- services rendered the state dur.

versant with affairs at Lansing will
recognize at once that the title is we'll
chosen and fits its man perfectly Tor
o. r. Fuller has been on the job
at Lansing ever since he went there
with a regularity never equaled by any
oliioirl within our memory.
The Only argument put up against
Mr. Fuller is that he has been in office
long time. This argument ought
NOT cut any figure with such I'D Office
as auditor general where il takes a
man familiar with all the details of
state TO hold It down as it should be
held. Mr. Fuller is n candidate for

RECOVERED ONE BODY
Workmen in Balkan ShaftlUncoyered
One Victim Last Saturday

One of the seven men lost in the
cavern at the Balkan mine WAS found
by the workmen engaged in cleaning
out the shaft last Saturday. The man
found was Antonio BosceIe, an Italian
and his body was met with bat few
feet back in the drift from the shaft.
A space OF two or three feet occurred
there where the sand had not filled in.
owing to the water pressure, and il
was in this space and in the water
that the man was found.
The man had evidently reached the
place and was working his way 10 the
shaft way when the rush overlook
and suffocated him. He was heavily
laden with rubber boots that retarded
his progress greatly, one reason, per-
haps. why be didn't succeed in getting
clear ont of the way before over.
whelmed
The recovery OF this man so close to
the shaft leads the operators TO believe
that the men are scattered along the
drift and more endeavors will be made
10 get down into the drift than was
at first contemplated when the theory
was that the men were all caught in
the extreme end of the drift.
Work is being pushed right along
towards recovering the bodies and if
they are not all taken out soon il win
not be no fault Of the Balkan people

MESABl RANGE MINES PARcELED
OUT AMONG INDEPENDENTS
BRISTOL SHIPPING LIGHTLY
Carpenter Mine viii Enter The List
of Shippers As Soon as Hollis
ter StockpiIe is Forwarded

| Whoh tho OiVcr iron mining com-
pany gave notice of contemplated
SURRENDER OF its leases upon the Great
Northern Railroad ore holdings much
speculation was rife as TO the policy
the Great Northern would pursue In
regard to the mining and shipping of
the ore known to exist upon its lands
and especially of the mines opened by
the Oliver Iron Mining company and
from which partial shipments had
been made but in which large tonnag-
es were left.
One report was that the Great Nor
thern would enter the producing liste
and become seller of ore on the mar
kets. 1t was given out that none of
the ore lands would be leased to min
ing companies. the subsidiary mining
company of the Great Northern doing
its own mining and selling.
This theory seems to have been
smashed by the railroad company dur
ing the past few weeks for some very
important properties have been leased
to independents. the Todd -Sambaugh
people being the lessons in most IN
stances The Arthur Mining Co. is
the name of the mining end of the
Great Northern holdings and IL has
already commenced operations look
ing to actual mining Of ore.
One OF the properties which il was
supposed the Arthur would hang onto
is the Dean mine. recently leased to
Todd Stambaugn along with other of
its holdings. The fact that the pro.
perties of the Great Northern are open
for lease to Independents is an i'm port
ant item and will probably result in
much of the Great Northern ore re-
serves being tied up to furnace inter
ests.
The Oliver lease upon the lands ex-
pires December 81 of this year when
defniteness will be given to the policy
of the owners Of the ore holdings.
BRISTOL SENT OUT SOME ORE
The Bristol mine has been sending
out some small amounts of ore during
the month giving hope to the work
men that the shipments this fall may
be OF sufficient size TO insure the oper-
ating Of the property during the
winter.
A small amount was shipped from
the stockpile early In the month and
it was hoped that shipments would
continue but just now things are not
very encouraging for on Wednesday
the men were all paid of excepting a
few and 10 is not known just when
operations will open up again.

anxiously forward TO the time. The
work of developing the mine has been
carried on steadily and systematically |
