CHANGES IN CITY AFFAIRS
Mayor Munns Causes some Curtail-
ment on Taking Hold OF the ONCE

Mayor Robert Munns made several
changes Immediately upon taking
hold Of the city Office. The garbage
wagon. which had commenced opera
ton the first of April was laid off.
The second night watchman was
laid OFF and the poundmaster was
told to suspend operations until the
council met.
Mr.. Munns went through the city

department whereby the department
will consist of two paid men, one to be
on duty day and night alternately

Two volunteer fremen will sleep In
the fire department quarters for
which small compensation will be
allowed The young men who stop
there are Elmer Carlson and Alex
Leonard
The clerk was let go out of the
electric light and water department

changes will be made.
In an interview with representa-
tive of The Diamond Drill, Mayor
Munns stated that he is opposed to the
cityscarrying a stock Of electric ap-
pliances and fixtures; tha, lamps ana
the material for wiring houses is all

BIG FIRE AT PALATKA
store sf Jake Drey With Adjoining
buildings Burned with Big Loss

Fire starting In the general store OF
]. j. Drey at Palatka at $3.50 o'clock
Sunday night caused loss OF $4,000
In the Old Caspian part OF that mining
location. The origin Of the blaze Is
unknown. Practically all Of the in
terror OF the store was In flames when
the existence OF the fire was discover
ed
The Drey establishment was des-
troyed as were tie grocery of j. o.
Prosser and the Palatka post-oftice.
The three buildings adjoined on the
main street They were owned by the
Verona Mining company and We're
valued at $4,000 to $1,000 Mr.. Drey
and his family lived In apartments
above the store. The contents OF this
building and of the one housing the
grocery OF Mr.. Prosser were burned.
The postoffice fixtures We're saved.
The loss on the Drey stock and furni-
ture Is estimated at $4,000. partly
covered by insurance Of $lS.50O. Mr..
Prosser's loss is figured at $4,000. The
stock was insured In part.
The Old Caspian is practically with
out fire protection, the only water
pi iocurable being from the small SER
vice pipes supplying the dwelling
houses of the location. But for the
fact that the wind was blowing in
favorable direction. It is likely the
whole settlement of some sixty two
story houses would have been destroy
ed. The wind kept the flames from
leaping the street. A bucket brigade
did effective work in preventing the
fire from communicating to dwellings
on the same side OF the street as the
buildings burned The distance from
the postoffice to the nearest house is
100 feet. Several times the roof of
the latter became ignited

ALPHA CUTOFF
TO COME SOON
ST. PAUL AND NV HAVE AGREED
UPON TRACKACE RIGHTS
ENGINEERS ARE AT WORK
st. Paul and Northwestern Repre-
sentatives are Taking Inventory
of the Property Involved

IL looks very much as il the much
talked OF Alpha cutoff will become
reality this season and that trains
will be running via the TobIn, Dunn
and Alpha before snow flies next fall.
Supt. Andrews of the Western
was in Crystal Falls last Wednesday
but he had nothing new to offer on
that line of Improvement
Blocked by Corrlgan, Mckinney
Ae we get the story. the real hitch
i'm the program of the past has been
that Corrigan. Mckinney e. Co. posi-
lively refused to allow any track 10 be
built over the old Columbia mine pro-
perty in which they own an half In
terest and which will certainly be
opened up by them when they get
ready.
The plan of the North Western was
to grade new line from the end OF
their track at the Dunn mine TO con
nection near the old woodenware
plant. In order to do this it was nee
essary to extend over the Columbia
property at a point or very close to
point where company expects to get
ore from the body now opened up on
the Carpenter.
The Corrigan- Mckinney people
don't want any tracks over the pro-
perty at that point and any other point
was not a feasible one for the North
Western 50 they dropped the new
grade idea and began to negotiate
with the st. Paul for the use of its
track by which a connection IS made
between the two pieces or North
Western track-the one from Crystai
Falls to the Tobin and from Mastodon
TO the Dunn mine
general Agreement Made
AS we understand Il general a.
greement along this line has been
made, the part remaining being to
agree on the price of the piece OF
track.
in order to get at this the ST. Pau.
division engineer Mr. Frick, and the
North Western division engineer. MIR
Brady, have been at work taking in
ventory Mr. Frick has been here of
and on a number OF times this winter
and spring and Mr. Brady spent sew
eral days here last week.
II is understood that they will re-
turn soon and that the inventory viii
be completed
In addition to taking an inventory
of the track already built II will be
necessary for the North Western to
make new tracks around the Dunn
and Tobin mine as II is improbable
that they will allow their trains to be
run close to the pocket in-either case
New Depot a Probability
II the deal goes through. II will un-
doubtedly bring with II new up
town depot for the North-westcru
somewhere near the end OF Third
street.
The general plan is to run the pas
senger trains and the way freight over
the new line leaving the old line for
the ore north Of the city.
The ore from all points south and
west of the city will not come to Crys-
tai Falls at all but will be consolidated
in yards near Alpha and hauled di-
rectly from there to Escanaba.

MORE MINES IN
SHIPPING LIST
BRISTOL MINE STARTED SENDING
ORE TO ESCANABA SATURDAY
vESSELMEN ARE PEsSIMISTIC
The Feeling is That Shipping Busi-
ness Will be Slow up Until the
First of Iune at Least

Another Crystal Falls mine has en-
tered the shipping list. The Bristol
mine got orders TO ship its output last
Friday and is now sending ore to the
Escanaba docks Supt Bjorlx In break
ing the news to us said that his in
formation is that his company has
made small sale which would indi-
cate that the orders 70 start shipping
carry with them no assurance that
the company will continue shipping
throughout the year
The Carpenter. whose starting of
shipping operations were mentioned
last week, is sending orexIo the docks
at fairly rapid rate now The ship
ments are restricted to the daily hoist
and will probably be so restricted un-
I'll the boats begin to run as there is
demurrage charge put upon all ores
held in docks.
Average Opening Date Promised
Tie outlookAow is that boats will
be running by the goth OF this month
and1hat will constitute an average
date for the opening OF navigation.
Some years have seen boats running
by April 10th but as a general propo-
sition shippers look for April 18th to
be the opening rather than an earlier
date.
Vessel owners, especially in Cleve-
land, do not attempt to conceal their
pessimistic feelings as 20 the open
ing this year, but hope that business
will be better along in June and July,
without any basic ieason. however
Earl Balfour, of the j. w Westcott
Co, who has just returned from
visit TO Cleveland, said: There will
be no rush marking the opening. but
the general opinion IS that the iron
ore trade Will pick up considerably
before the season is we'll advanced"
More Exploratory Talk
There Is talk of some additional ex-
ploratory work being done In this
section, one of the reports being that
the Michigan Mineral Lands north and
northwest OF the Bristol mine Will
be explored by the Cole & Mcdonald
company a,
Another report has IL that the
lands north OF the Paint River mine
will be taken up soon. This is the
land that was probed by the Longyear
interests last winter and on which
fairly extensive iron formation was
met but no ore encountered. The
deepest hole drilled or the property
was $50 feet and the cores takens out
showed formation varying In richness
