Men Who made Good in Mining

as youngsters. They have the Kee. weenaw Copper company's affairs to guide, and they are going to win here too. At the old Phoenix they have as fine a showing of copper as can be found anywhere in the Mich. igan district The old shaft is heinz enlarged, and in the footwall side of 1t they are showing a lode that Is the talk of the people of that region. It holds out strong as they sink. and they are down nearly 100 feet. A diamond drill hole showed the lodo equally rich as where they are now working at a point 1000 feet below surface. That a real mine has been found in the Phoenix of the Keewee- nav company is certain, and others will undoubtedly be found on the large territory this company owns. Capt R. R. Trezona. of Eveleth, Minn., an old Lake Superior miner, worked on the Ashbed lode, old Phoe. nix mine. in 1865. He aided with in. formation in this enterprise. and the old C. X A. crowd. including their Pittsburg friends, and Mfr. Congdon and Mir. Hartley. of Duluth, furnished the faith and the money.
 Hancock Is another copper mine that is being developed and which will give a good account of itsels. It is located in the village whose name it takes. Much work has been done. and great deal Of money expended It takes money as well as courage to bring these big shafts to the required state of efficiency, and mo little brains has any business engaging in such big enterprises Tlese are big men. working in big way.
 The same lot of copper miners have much to do with International Smelling. concern that has been active several years. and which has made a fine success It is also ex. banding building additional stacks and doing big. legitimate business.
 These sanie gentlemen have several properties in Mexico. one Greene Cananea, now doing the best work in it's history. Here, again, Is very large landed possession all we'll se- feeted, pImportant new discoveries of ore have beeh made outside of the immense deposits in the older mines. A modern system of concentrators, smelters, etc, has been introduced and the efficiency K running high. With the troubles in Mexico over this property will well demonstrate its real ability Other mines in that country will also be made to yield prohtably when the political turmoil has ceased These mines have been idle for some time. but they have the ore and win be winners.
 These Lake Superior miners are also doing something in the develop ment of several iron ore mines of which more will be heard in the future They have selected good tracts of land and are working them in the right way
 These men have done much to ere. ate new values, digging them from the earth, taking chances with their own money. and have been managing these big interests without a dollar in the way of compensation. Mining Is a game of chance to a considerable degree. but these Lake Superior min. CTS have averaged very high in sue cess. Considering the extent of their operations their judgment has been little short of wonderful.
 It's a me way to make money, too this digging it from the bosom of mother earth. As we say. it takes | skill, nerve. and liberal expenditure of funds and it's real fighting much 1 of the time. This little lot of miners from our region has brought enor nous new values into the channels of trade and they are entitled to great credit for all thsX have done in the winning of these splendid results. They are still engaged in the in dustry, being captains who delight in the work and who love to bring to daylight the minerals hidden in the earth for the benefit of mankind. They | are legitimate builders, not wreckers They are always to be found on the long side hitting the drill fairly and souarely, driving good bargains, open ing up the rocks and getting big val res from former unproductive souro es. That's the kind of work that helps country. It gives employment to labor and reaps dividends that are of benefit to all those who receive them
 It's not tainted money, nor are there any stains of any kind upon it. It's big business conducted by big men
 such as this great Lake Superior re sion frequently produces.
