Calumet and Jerome
 Resumes Operation

JEROME, July 7.-After a loss oI two days time, resulting from a series of breakdowns. operations are in full swing once more at the Calumet x Jerome today. The most serious ac' cident was to the compressor. which was out of commission for several shifts.
 The shaft is down 520 feet and the bottom is almost dry. Water is still coming in above, of course, but 1t IS all caught in the stump at the 5OO-foot station and pumped from there to the surface.
 It is the present plan to crosscut to the west when water level IS reached. This may be at $50 feet.

MINNESOTA WOULD

Chicago, March &C. Football sharps
believe that Prof. Paige, the Univer-
sity of Minnesota representative in
the western conference, has home in
side information as regards the prob
gan to the Big Nine.
Prof. Paige thinks that football
game between Minnesota and the VOL
verines in 1918 is almost certainty.
Prof. Paiges statement, made at a
banquet Of seventy-fve football candi-
dates and coaches at Minneapolis, was
received with enthusiasm as practi-
cally every student at Minnesota de-
sires to see the, Wolverines replaced
on the Gopher gridiron schedule.
1--WE will welcome the return of
Michigan with open arms" Prof. Paige
said. But for the fact that our 1917
schedule is all filed the Wolverines
would in all probability be pitted
against the Gophers next fall"
Coach Harry L. Williams said that
he would like to see every able bod.
died student in the university come
out for spring practice through the va
cation period
"If that plan is followed" Williams
said, "the necessity of gradually round
ing into condition would be done away
with when the time for official prac-
tice is at hand"
The coach urged the players to
take extraordinary precaution against
ineligibility and requested them to
keen in the best Of condition through
out the summer months.
