CREEK CHANGE
PROGRESSING
HICKS & BARBER HAVE THEIR DRAG
LINE IN OPERATION
FIFTEEN HOUSES RIGHT AWAY
Supt. Biork Got Orders to Build
Them at Fortune Lake Property
Ravenna Found New Ore

A reporter for The Diamond Drill
visited the camp OF Hicks g. Barber
on section % 43--33 where this firm
is engaged in getting started TO turn
the Briar Hill creek from it's present
course to one away from the ore body
over which II runs. We found the
drag line machine about ready for
business. II was tested out last Fri
day but the housing was not on the
platform and IL was hard to keep
steam up so operations were sus-
pended and all hands turned in to
place the covering over the machine.
Mr.. Hicks informs us that the en-
tire yardage will be handled by teams
and not by dinkey engine. The yard
age is not sufficient to put an engine
on the job. To facilitate the handling
of the dirt double track will be laid
from the digging to the disposal bank,
distance OF about quarter OF mile.
Five teams will be used, the loads on
one track and the empties on the other
with a switch back at each end.
The material is supposed TO be
white sand except at the ends where
the new channel will join the old one,
These ends are in low, swampy ground
and many boulders exist therein but
the end sections represent only
small part Of the Job.
A drag line with bucket Of IL
yard capacity has been secured TO
work on the job and the cars will be
loaded through pocket similar to
the operations at the Balkan pit.
Station men have been let contracts
to remove the humps that exist along
the run of the ditch so that the ma
chine will have level ground to travel
upon during its entire distance. The
cut in some spots is 40 feet deep and
the total yardage will be about $1,000
yards.
II has been found that the sapd is
saturated with water up 10 within a
foot or two OF the surface. surprising
condition when IL is considered that
this sand lies from 25 to 40 feet above
the creek. In this ditching work,
though. water don't make so much
difference as IL can easily be drained
to the end. The work of opening up
both ends OF the ditch has been start
ed, station men having the sub
contracts.
A fine set of camps has been built
and Mr.. Hicks has moved his family
from Vulcan 10 the job. intending to
live there until it's completion which
will be sometime about Jan. l. Mr.
Barber is living at the Lockwood. Mrs

River where they have been all sum

The practice of converting the
hunting camps into permanent
sporting homes is growing In this
vicinity II was established By the
members OF the Regal Tlber Club
when they secured lease upon the
property upon which their camp "a
located and made Il a permanent I'M
stftution.
During the past month party OF
hunters consisting of Prof. Hill, Alvin
Richards. VIII Wills, John Cassidy.
Harry Wills. Capt Jas, Bowden. Prof.
Hanson, and Chas, Richard, have
made their camp, which located about
two miles west Of the Regal Tiber
camp, permanent institution. They
secured lease upon the land from
the Michigan Iron g. Land Co. turn
ed In and. cleared space sufficient to
guard the building from fire, and then
turned to building the camp more on
the permanent order. They completed
their work few Weeks ago and now
have very fine home. the main
building being isx24- and equipped
with all necessary conveniences for
comfort while the members are in
camp.
A barn large enough to hold five
horses has been erected and the
buildings made warm and snug. One
item in this camp exists In no other
camp in this vicinity and that is a
hardwood floor which Prof. Hill pur-
suaded the boys to install.
In addition 10 debating the
hardwood floor Prof Hill is credited
with naming the place which In the
future will be known as Camp Diana"
from the GODDESS of the hunt.
Another camp along this order Isl
the one that Arvid Bjork has been In
the habit of visiting many times each
year for his hunting and fishing out
ings. Mr.. Bjork and a number of his
friends have secured lease upon the
property and have very fine place
out OF It.
The camp is an old one that had
been used for logging. Until this
summer nothing In the way OF per-
menancy has been done with II but
with the new spirit of camp building
a permanent organization including
Arvid Bjork, III. Poulsen, v. Osterberg.
Tod Webb, w. II. Rein, Henry Kern,
Ike Oswald. John Klesges. DR.. Noyes.
DIR. Hockings and Sam Jacobs was
formed and a lot OF improvements
made to the camp. The building is
24x30 with root house attached A
barn has been built sufficiently large
to accommodate any teams that may
be brought there and the surrounding
grounds improved s. Challincin who
claimed this camp as his happy home
many years ago was made an honor
airy member with the privilege of us-
ing the camp as he wishes.
The matter OF a name has been a
disturbing question and finally the
boys settled upon Camp McCutcheon"
as the most appropriate for II. -

The figures given above are the re-
suit OF the first counting of the bal
