HEARD FROM BYERs.
Iron County's illustrious Citizen,
Writes Interestingly From France.

Supt. c. T.. Lawrence OF Palatka.
received a letter from first liutenanf
Isaac w. Byers during the week
Lieut.. Byers is now in France auos
writes very Interestingly from thar
country. We regret that the recent
request OF the war department 10
newspapers to not publish letters
from soldiers compels us TO refer so

one that is intensely interesting.
He describes one OF the Y. M. c. A.
buildings thus:

There was a stove i'm the rear. ana
around this were six or eight men.
The two billiard tables were In USE
The reading room, etc, was crowded.
with men writing, drinking coffee. etc.
The streets here are literally mud!
and all parts of the Y. NJ. c. A. floor
were quite covered with mud. There.
was small library Young women
were serving refreshments back OF the.
counter. Letterheads were in abenaf
ance, and used by all sorts of men Ia.

The Y. M. G. A. Is certainly doing
all that is claimed for IL
Mr.. Byers tells of interviewing r
number of German prisoners wheo
he told them that five million Amer

Byers pointed out the fact that he anu

them that the Americans had sunk alf

believe him.

SEEK ELIMINATION or BOARD.

A decision made by the Michigan
railroad commission last week has
stirred up the people of Detroit as
nothing else has done OF late. So
angry are many OF tile Detroit people
that there is a threat OF initiating a
law doing away with the state rail
road commission.
The merits. pro and con, OF the ca &c
are not very generally known outside
OF Detroit. but in general way il
may be said that the Michigan Tela
phone company went TO the state rail
road commission which body has the
fixing OF rates all over Michigan, and
represented TO the commission that

HEAVY STORMS.

The latter part OF the winter is wit
Messing some heavy storms, although
the temperature Is not as low as K
might be, nor as ii was early in the
winter
The storm of last week is claimed
To have been the worst of the winter
as the snow fall was heavier and the
temperature lower than at any other
time.
Last Sunday and Monday were fine
days, but on Tuesday a storm started
that certainly stirred up things
through the upper peninsula The
snow fall increased as the day waned
until about four o'clock a very heavy
storm was blowing.
The railroads are being hit very
hard In these storms for as soon "a
they get the tracks shoyeled out from
one storm they have them filed up BY
another.

JUST LIES; THAT'S ALL.

We stated last week that Lie No.
s will be answered next week" We
are glad TO be able 10 state that there
Is no Lie No. s" for us to answer, for
the opponents to the charter have
changed their plan Of campaign to
more legitimate line after they found
out that lies have a back-fre to them
that Is as harmful as the direct fire.
They are confining their agitation
this week to objections, one Of which
4 that the clerk and treasurer are
appointed and not elected.
Now, in that position they are pur-
suing a legitimate course. To some
this method OF selecting the two Of
flcers mentioned may seem objection
able. Frankly, the writer was in fav-
or OF having those two elected intead
OF appointed But, the commission
ers, after investigating methods used
in every other city governed by q
commission. found that clerks and
treasurers are invariably appointed
so they decided TO follow the expert
ence OF other places and leave II 10
the people TO change later If they so
desired All they have to do is to sub
nit proposition asking that the com
mission order vote on the subject
of having the officers elected and then,
IL the majority OF the people say they
want those officers elected by the peo-
pie instead OF appointed by the com
mission they will be elected.
Under the present charter the of
fcers are not all elected by any means
The city assessor. city attorney, the
chief OF the fire department and a
score or more OF officers are appointed.
Why object to the appointment of the
clerk and treasurer under the propos-
ed charter and agree TO the appoint
ment of some of our most important
officers under the present law. The
most important officers we have In
our city are the assessor and the
board OF review members. Did you
obiectors ever stop TO consider that
under the present order OF things the
electors have absolutely nothing 10
say about the assessor and about two
OF the most important members OF the
board OF review, the assessor and the
city attorney. Have YOU considered
further that even II the electors want
ed to have something to say about
the direct selection Of these officers
they couldn't get relief without going
TO the legislature and having the law
amended. Imagine what chance the
people would have TO get any change
in the general law. With the propos-
ed charter you make your own law
YOU can change IL by a majority vote
That feature alone Is well worth the
adoption OF the charter. Our answer
Is to this objection: Adopt the char
ter SO that the people may arrange
10 elect or have appointed any officer
they wish. Let the majority rule

The worst mining accident that
Iron county has seen since the great
Mansfield disaster OF twenty-four
years ago, occurred at the Amasa-
Porter mine of the Nevada Mining
Co, shortly after noon on Thursday
Water which had accumulated in
the open pit, cause by the caye-in OF
last week, brok through under bulk
heads which were put in to hold it
back, and filed the mine with sand
and water. IL is thought that the wa
ter worked through a crevice.
The accident occurred at 12:45, just
as the men were being lowered to
their work. and only one load OF men
was down In the mine when the wa
ter broke through. Three OF the men
on that load succeeded In getting 10
the ladder in time to make their es-
cape up the shaft. They were taken
out very shortly after the accident oc-
Cured One additional victim was
caught and partly submerged IN the
sand and water, but about 6 o'clock
his rescue was affected.

LIKES CHARTER
Ed. n. HATCH TELLS OF ExPER-
iENCE UP THERE
SAME CAMAFLOUGE WAS USED
Mr.. Hatch Says Any Charter is
Better Than the One That We
Are Now Working Under

Hon. Ed. II. Hatch, son of Mr.. and
Mrs. Harry Hatch OF this city is may
or OF Eveleth, MINI. Ed, as he Is ia
miliariy known TO his many Crystal
Falls friends, Is one OF the big men
of the Mesabi iron range section. He
has held several Offices OF trust, and
last year was chosen mayor OF Eve
leth by big majority.
Mr.. Hatch was among those who
helped change the charter under
which Eveleth was first governed,
and has had ample opportunity to wit
ness the workings OF the commission
form OF government and also the old
ward system
Mr.. Hatch lived in Crystal Falls be-
fore going to the Mesabi range and
is perfectly familiar with our charter
its good points and its weaknesses,
so that when he speaks he knows
what he is talking about from first
hand.
The Diamond Drill received let
ter from Mr.. Hatch last Wednesday
in which he freely and frankly tells
the people OF Crystal Falls what ne
thinks OF the proposed change
This letter comes 10 us entirely un-
solicited We didn't ask Mr.. Hatch
TO write II nor did anyone else, to our
knowledge Ed Hatch is too big a man
10 be used for the purpose of pull
ing anybody's chestnuts out OF the fire.
He was inspired, undoubtedly, by a
desire TO give good advice to the peo-
ple OF his old home town, many oi
whom he played with as a boy. and
Others whom he knew as neighbors
and fellow residents. His letter fol-
lows:
MIR. Thos. Conlin,
Crystal Falls, Michigan.
Dear sir: / read with great
deal OF interest your letter in the
last issue OF The Diamond Drill.
1t reminds me of just what we had
10 go through in Eyeleth when our
commission form charter was sub
mitted TO the people for their con
sideration There were all sorts
OF arguments against g. II seem
ed that each little clique in the
town feared the power that the
other men would have II the char
ter was adopted, but we find that
this is not the case, II is our ex-
perience that the greatest power
is the single individual voter who
has the right under our charter
10 vote for each man who seeks
an office.
The argument we used In ask
ing for the adoption of our charter
was that any charter would fiji
our requirements far better than
the one under which we were
working, and II Is my opinion that
the people OF Crystal Falls Will
find this TO be true in their case.
Undoubtedly. most OF the people
OF Crystal Falls remember me.
and II my experience Is worth
anything 10 them. ! would advise
that they adopt the charter sub
mitted by your charter commits
sion by unanimous vote, as II Is
far better for them than the old
ward system under which they
have worked for so many years
Yours very truly.
f. II. HATCH.

First Ca,e-in Last Week.

Operations at the Amasa-Porter
mine were started in 1914 when the
present shaft was sunk and the mine
opened up, during the succeeding
year. The ore produced by this prop
erty is mostly of Bessemer grade
and Is very desirable In iron manufac-
ture at the present time. For that
reason heavy demands were made up
on the mine during the shipping sea-
sons of 1916 and 1917 and n large out
put was expected therefrom the com
ing season
The mine was being worked upon
the caving system. There Is an over
burden OF about 30 feet of quicksand
The rock supports were irmer than
expected, SO that the caving OF the
sand oyerburden didn't come as quick
~ as was expected and the mine had
been opened up on five levels. total
depth OF about 500 feet before the ex-
pected caving OF the surface occurred
In expectation OF this cave. con-
crete bulkheads were put I'm 10 guarl
the openings that led from the old
workings 10 the shaft II was expect
ed that these bulkheads would holl
back any pressure from the expected
open nit
