VALUATION CREW HERE
North Western Engineers Making Ap-
praisal Reached Crystal Falls

Two North Western passenger cars
were side tracked in the Crystal
Falls yard early I'm the week. They
contained the crew of men engaged
in valuing the property of the North
Western system. This crew has been
working in the Marquette section all
summer and will wind up its work
on the Crystal Falls branch.
The crew consists OF IL men under
the direction OF s. X. Brewster, an en-
gineer who has been In the employ OF
the company long time, also man
and wife who cook for the boys The
crew are all young men, mostly from
the engineering force. One car is mod
eled out OF an old diner and contains
the kitchen, dining room, sleeping
room OF the cook and wife and an
office for Mr.. Brewster. The other car
contains the berths OF the men and a
club room where the boys spend their
evenings.
The reporter was invited TO visit
the cars, in company with Agent Roch-
ON. We found the men very comfort
ably assigned While we were visiting
with Mr.. Brewster the men came In
from work and they we're as fine a
bunch OF young men as we have met In
many a day. Their outside work
stamped health" upon their counten-
ances and the necessity for observation
and intelligence in their work made
them keen and intelligent looking
lot OF lads.
From Mr.. BREWSTER we learned that
this is not the only crew at work nor
Is II the one we have been hearing a
bout all summer from Menominee
north. There are several crews at
work and they have been on inven-
tory work for several years. Another
crew is working on the Iron River
Ironwood section and all OF the men
will close up their work about the
same time.
"A great many people think that
this inventory is the one which the
government is to make or that we are
concerned with the governments val
uation of the roads. said Mr. Brew
ster. I'VE are in no way connected
with the work OF the federal valua-
tion This work is being done by the
Northwestern railroad company SO
that the company may know the exact
value OF It's property.
I'VE go into the minutest detail.
Every bolt. spike. pane Of glass or 9TH
er fixed property or supply is inven-
toried by us. We have nothing TO do
with the rolling stock. We run levels
all over the grade and cross section
frequently so as to get the grading

TREAS'S OFFICE
IN GOOD HANDS
COUNTY TREAsUsER BALL INTER.
VIEWED DURING THE WEEK
WIDOWS PENSIONS s6,654
This Item Win Continue to Grow and
Must Get Attention From County
in Special Appropriations

A reporter for The Diamond Drill call
ed at the county treasurer's office last
Thursday to get line on the work In
the the county ex-checker. We found
Mr.. Ball and his assistant, Miss Amelia
Paro busy with the days work which
they cleaned up while we were In the
office and turned Their attention to Civ
ing us some information on the coun-
ty business for the past year.
Miss Paro was assistant to Mr.. Rey-
nolds part OF the time that he was in
the Office and so was conversant with
the volume OF work under both treas
urer's. She told us that the volume is
just about what IL has been for the past
two years. II any change has been
made IL has been in the increase in
Mothers Pensions"
Mr.. Ball stated that the amount paid
out for mothers pensions during the
past year has been s6.654.00 and il is
paid weekly in small amounts on the
oil der OF the Judge of Probate There
are now As pensioners on the. county
roll. During the year three have been
dropped from the list. their eligibility
having ceased.
The pensions have been paid out OF
the general fund so far and Mr.. Ball
states that IL this volume Increases II
will necessitate the supervisors taking
notice of the expense and providing
specifically for It.
We were shown through the office
and the books and from short exafnina-
tion should say that the treasury is In
excellent hands. We found every item
OF work right up to the minute and Mr..
Ball conversant with everything in his
Office.
The county treasurer's ofiice missed
the, heretofore. annual VISIT of some
fifty or sixty citizens after red cards"
last spring and the books OF the treasu-
rer misses some twenty-five or thirty
thousand dollars that has been hand
led through the treasurer in other
years. Otherwise there has been
no change in the office.
Mr. Ball made his annual report to
the board a week ago and he showed
that he had received s370,0S6.3S and
had paid out ss1o,42s56. leaving a
balance OF s5s.65762.
The principal items in his disburse-
ments were county road payments TO
the amount Of ss5, ,o402s, general fund
orders to the amount OF s3s ,s491l and
the primary school money amounting
to s45,71o.55
One OF the principal items in back
tax receipts during the year was the
Cochran Timber Co delinquent taxes
amounting TO $4,000. mostly on lands
in Crystal Falls and Hematite town
ships.
We decided from the inspection we
made OF his Office and the universal
courtesy that every visitor TO that eec-
ton OF the building has received the
past year that the county made no mis-
take when Mr.. Ball was chosen its
treasurer.

Drilling at Fortune Lake

Cole & Mcdonald moved a couple Of
drills onto the Fortune Lake prop
critics OF the Bristol people during the
week. The exploratory work done so
far out there consisted OF churn drill
work. With prospective opening Of
the property at hand It became nee
essary to get more complete knowl-
edge OF the lay of the ore deposit SO
that the shafts and mine buildings
might be located inteliigently. The
drilling is being done TO this end.
The contract for the erection OF the
new houses has been let TO Mr.. Procks
OF Iron River who was the lowest bid
der on the job. They will be erected al
once so that the workmen needed may
have homes as soon as the construction
work starts.

The water is flowing out Of the To-

Tuesday when one bailer was started
up. Later another bailer and the
blower were started and then the race
was on in earnest.
The Tobin workings were filled right

very large one and contains big
volume OF water so that the task Is no

weeks. II the water is pumped out In
that time the mine will be opened to
the workmen about the first OF Decem-

work TO do and lot OF fixing neces-

before the full force can be put to work
More men will be added right along
as fast as they can be used to advan-

means the withdrawal from the Tobin
houses OF the Carpenter employees and
there will be lot OF shifting around
before the two forces are adjusted.
We understand that twenty more

New York, March 22-Miss Rae Tanzer, a dark-eyed, vivacious girl of twenty-two, Is the center of the odd breach of promise mixup in which James w. Osborne, former assistant district attorney, figures. Miss Tan ger, in her papers filed in the $50,O00 breach of promise suit against MT. Osborne, claims he struck up an ac- quaintance with her and represented himself as unmarried. MT. Osborne denied he had ever met the girl. Then suddenly there appeared in the case a man who said he was Oliver Os- borne of Boston. He voluntarily came to New York after he had read about the case in the papers and had seen Miss Tanzers picture to reveal that it was he who had been friendly with Miss Tanzer. Oliver Osborne said the girl had made a mistake in naming James w. Osborne, and he felt it was his duty to clear James w. Osborne's good name. This reve- lation was followed by Miss Tanzer's arrest on the charge of using the mails for attempted blackmail. She is out on bail. Meanwhile Oliver Os- borne has disappeared. Further sen sations are expected in this tangle.
