last Monday that II has heard in sew
eral months when. following the visit
OF Gen. Manager Hopkins to this city,
announcement was made that the
Bsktol mine would resume full force
OF Sonday. Feb l. supplying places
foh,o men
The Bristol had been employing
force OF about so men in shaft sinking
for the past month SO that the addi-
ton Of 250 more will make quite a
hole in the ranks Of the idle ia this
community.
The single men as well as the mar
ried men viii be put back at work and
preference will be given TO the old
employees Of the mine Many of the
cid workmen, especially the single
men, had removed from the city so
that there will be some vacant places
10 be filled by new men II is likely
however, that a great many of the
men who formerly worked at the pro-
perty and who left tile city at the time
the shutdown occurred will return
to town and take their old places
There is room on the stocking
ground for a couple hundred thous-
and tons of ore and as the Bristol can
produce over a thousand tons per day,
the stock docks will be pretty well
covered when the shipping season
opens next April
Dunn Increases Forces
In company with the announcement
about the Bristol came word from the
Corrigan Mckinney mines that the
Dunn mine would add 100 men to the
working force which will put this
property on a full force basis
The Dunn has been working in
small way right along It's stocked
ore was almost all cleaned up last
season so there is plenty Of room for
the accumulation OF a large stock
pile at this property
The new territory added to the
Dunn last year has given the property
a new lease Of life in the ore body TO
the north and IL is from this deposit
that most OF the product is being !
drawn at the present time.
The addition of men at the Dunn is |
the first sign OF anything stirring at
the Mckinney properties
on this side Of the county and every
one is speculating on the length OF |
time before resumption Is affected |
at the big Tobin mine.
Men Added at Tully
At the Tully mine In Stambaugh, |
also the property of the Corrigan,
Mckinney Co. seventy men are to be
added to the woi king force The Tully |
has been the only active unit of this
concern in the Iron county district
for the past year and II Is from this
property that the major portion OF
the ore supply must be drawn for
next year, The Tully is one of the big
mines of the county and with fair
market ought to make a mark as a
producer.
n sYhe Roger s-Brown mines and also
IA Oglebay Norton mines on the west
If N OF the county are TO resume next
I'D } also with large compliment
= fnen. The announcement OF these
assumptions were made a week ago
and caused a great deal Of rejoicing
at Iron River where the mining busi-
ness was in as deep rut as il Is In
Crystal Falls.
