Iron County Development Is Re-
ilected In Country School Increase

In an interview with County Com
missioner Mason last Thursday that
gentleman informed the Diamond
Drill that Iron county has now AZ
country schools with about 80 teach
ers employed In them. The last
school 10 be added to the list is one
at Kelso In Crystal Falls township.
This school will be of the portable
variety of construction and will be
ready for business very shortly.
Two schools are without teachers.
the new one at Kelso and one at Ray
monds in Iron River township Mr.
Mason says that he has found II more
difficult to get district school teach
ers this year than ever before In the
history of the county.
The wages of teachers in district
schools have increased very much in
the last few years. The minimum
wage paid in the country schools OF
Iron county today is $65 and the max
imum $93. Only in the schools where
the very best conveniences are TO be
had both as TO board and school can
teachers be hired for s65. In districts
where there are lesser conveniences
IL is necessary 10 give bonus along
with the regular wage as an induce
ment to get teachers 10 take hold OF
the school.
The number OF schools by town
ship is as follows:
Bates. s.; Iron River. 10; Crystal
Falls. 10; Stambaugh, o; Mastodon.4; /;
Mansfield. 2; and Hematite, 2. The
number of country schools in Crystal
Falls township reflects the great
growth in agriculture in this county
for all of these country schools with
the exception of the one at the Tobin
are directly attributable to agricul-
ture
Not only is the number OF country
schools increasing in Crystal Falls
township. but the size OF the schools
is increasing so that in some of them
the school district is up against pro-
yiding for more school room next
year. One example Of this is at Bal
sam where the school room is crowd
ed to its capacity with SO pupils. Six
years ago when that school was To-
Gated there were eight pupils to at
tend il.
What is true at Balsam is true in
other localities and will be true in an
increasing ratio for many years to
come,

NEwBERRY PROBE On.
Department of Justice Looking For
Fraud In Primary Election.

The long threatened action against
Senator Newberry because OF the al
legged expenditures in his primary
campaign last year has at last taken
definite shape.
On Wednesday witnesses were ex-
amined In the II. S. district court at
Grand Rapids. Hundreds of Witnesses
will be examined and an effort will be
made to indict Senator Newberry on a
charge OF fraudulantly influencing as
the primary
The department of justice assigned
Frank c. Baily. formerly u s. District
Attorney for Indiana to have charge
OF the case II is expected that every
effort will be made TO get an indict-
ment against Senator Newberry.
In the meantime the senate of the
Z. S. congress has decided to abandon
the Newberry contest and as that
body is the exclusive Judge of it's own
members the significance of the probe
at Grand Rapids is quite obscure.

COLLISION AT CARPENTER.

A ST. Paul road engine pushing a
string Of empties collided with the
Hollister Mining Co. engine which
was switching a train of loads onto
the Carpenter switch tracks. The
result was bad smash-up for the
small engine and the scattering of
ore cars all along the track near the
scene OF the collision.
The Hollister engine was being
handled by Roy Mitchell and he, for
tunately, escaped uninjured although
we'll shaken up. The St Paul en-
gine was handled by one of the reg
ular road crews from Charming.
The wreck caused a suspension of
operations at the Carpenter pile on
Thursday, the ST Paul wrecking
crew having been engaged all day in
getting the track back into shape
again and cleaning up the debris.
The Hollister engine is out OF COM
mission for the balance OF the season
necessitating the use OF railroad
engine until the pile of ore is cleaned
up which will be in about ten days.

of the teachers shooting irons into
the bush.

HollIsTER MINING COMPANY TOOK
PROPERTY LAST TUESDAY
AMASA-PoRTER IS RETAINED
New Purchase Gives the N. A. Mar
ma People Much increased Re-
serve in C. Falls Ores

The big Judson mine passed into
new hands last Tuesday morning
when Supt. Alfred Martin went to AL
pha and took over the property for
the Hollister Mining Co.. the Crystal
Falls corporation operating the prop
critics OF the NJ. A. Hanna company.
The deal has been under considera-
tlon for long time and negotiations
have progressed steadily 10 the point
where the two parties got together.
The Judson property has been idle
most OF the summer, but the stockpile
which accumulated during the years
Il has been under development has
been shipped gradually until but a
small part remains.
Amasa-Porter Not Included.
The Amasa- Porter mine Of the Long
year interests was not included In the
deal, at least not for the present. This
property produces an entirely differ
ent class of ore, and is not a large
proposition such as is the Judson.
The Hanna interests have a large
lot OF such quality OF ore at Wake
field. However, 1t Is not improbable
that the latter mine will yet pass to
the Hanna interests as the Longyear
people are not primarily operators
but explorers and developers.
Reduces Mines Available.
The passing OF the Judson 10 the
Hanna interests has reduced the num-
Der OF m.nes that are available for
purchase 10 almost negligible guam
tity and may result in the exploration
and opening up OF new mines.
The iron mines OF Michigan are al
most all held by producing-operating
companies who own and operate the
mines because they want the ore to
use in their furnaces at lower lake
points. These mines are not for sale
at any price.
New interests that wish to enter the
iron business are practically estopped
so far as mines are concerned. and
must depend for their ore supply up
on concerns that will part with some
OF their ore that they don't need for
themselves

One of the features proposed and
one that will arouse a lot OF enthus-

is very fast aggregation. Crystal
Falls defeated them once on their
own field. the first team in years to
perform that feat. The score I'm that
game was very close, and stambaugh
expects to even up on Victory Day.
The Legion Post at Stambaugh will
hold no celebration November 18th,
so that its members are free to at

ton has been extended TO the STAN
baugh boys to come to Crystal Falls
