MANY HERE FROM IRON RIVER.

There is considerable stir at the
court house today and big delega-
tion OF Iron River people Is on hand,
The reason Is the meeting OF the
board OF supervisors at which the pc
titions from Iron River township. one
for the extension Of the village limits
and the other for the formation of n
village TO embrace the mines OF the
territory north OF Iron River are be-
ing considered by the board,
The board OF supervisors must sub
nit the question to the people if the
petitions are right, and so far no in
timation has been given out as TO the
correctness or incorrectness OF the pe-
titions.
There will undoubtedly be a dele-
cation of attorneys on hand to repre-
sent the two sides to the controversy.
so that all points will be freely aired.
The question has naturally attract
ed much attention in Iron River
where the people are in large ma
jority in favor OF extending the vil-
lage limits.

WAGE INCREASE
= FOR MINERS
STEEL CORPORATION ANNOUNCED
INCREASE or TEN PER CENT
ORE GOING OUT VERY FAST
StockpiIes Are Being Attacked at
Many Mines and Most of Them
viii Go Forward

The U. 5. Steel corporation an
nounced an increase in wages OF ten
per cent during the week to take ef-
feet on the first day OF August. The
announcement was made in the East,
and II was stated that the mill and
furnace employees were effected not
specifically mentioning the miners,
II Is certain that order includes the
miners as the steel corporation haa
never yet increased wages in one Of
its departments without including all.
Inquiry at the local offices brings
the information that local officers have
not received any information as to
an increase, but 1t is certain that If
one company increases wages all 9TH
ers will follow.
Miners Getting Scarce.
Miners are scarce and the govern
ment IS asking for more steel and iron
products right along Were 1t not for
the immense open pit mines there
would be an extreme shortage of ore
right now. Open pit mines are being
drawn upon for their maximum and
products right along. Was II not for
that means a drain in that available
ore supply that is getting to point
where it IS alarming.
Miners have been fairly plentiful
in Iron county until just now when
they are getting scarcer and the out
look Is that from now on the mines
will be seeking labor. especially those
who wish to increase their outputs.
Ore is going out OF Iron county
faster than was expected early in the
season More ore Is being handled
with less equipment than before, a
condition which shows that every
short cut to economy is being used.
Many Piles Being Loaded.
The most wholesome item Is the
general loading out OF stocked ore
that is apparent all along the line
piles that have been on the docks sew
eral years are going forward and II
the present rate of loading keeps III
most all Il the stocked ore will be
shipped out this season.
The Bristol Is loading regularly al
It's stock pile SO that the amount has
been reduced to a comparatively small
amount
The Mckinney Steel Co mines are
moving ore from all its mine piles
excepting the Tobin The odgers pile
Is going forward rapidly and there 1.
but a small amount left The ship.
ping OF Great Western ore continues
regularly and the outlook is that q
great amount OF that ore will go for
ward the present year
The Balkan hasn't shipped any Of
its pile yet, but the expectations ar,
that II will be cleaned up as II was
last year. The Judson is shipping oc
casionally from It's pile and all OF th,
Amasa-Porter will go forward.
The shipments from piles in the Iror
River-Stambaugh district Is fully IL
keeping with that OF the Crystal Falls
district so that the outlook is for
bigger ore output from Iron count,
this year than was made last year.

Shortage Of coal and inability of

two members who have been making
a specially of polls for two years.
They came within few votes of
foretelling accurately the prohibition

Indications are that the swing to

Democratic members held in the Of
