and son Harry Of Houghton, Mich,

urday>. Mr. Calverley is a million.

urious car, certainly looks the part.
DR.. j. w. Moore, state senator Of
Michigan, Mrs. Moore, Mrs. C. D.
Sheldon, Mrs. Harry Roberts, Emil
Beauchanine and Clarence Gauthiers.
were also members of the party from
Houghton, who came in another car. !.
MIR. Calverley is a very interesting
character and had any amount of old
stories to tell of the old days when
he sailed the North Shore, between
1870 and 1876. He said he made the
port of Grand Marais more than a
hundred times and at that time Jack
Scott, ST., and the Mayhem brothers
we're the only white people here. =
Calverley sailed in the Lottie Ber-
nard" which foundered somewhere
between here and Duluth, when five
of her crew were lost, two in a row
boat and the other three before they
could leave the ship.
He had many interesting stories TO-,
tell about Capt. Norris, the old lake
captain under whom he sailed.
Norris first boat was the "Utelp' and.
one day he sailed into Two Harbors
for the first: time. Norris was a typi-
cal rough and ready sailor, such as
one reads about in books of jolly sea
rowers, but Jim Chapman, the Gus
toms officer was a mate for him.
II want a clearance, demanded
Norris.
"What lis the name of your boat"
asked Mr.. Chapman.
"Utelr' was the answer.
II asked you what is the name of
your boat, thundered Chapman.
"Oh, Utel".
The words that followed were hard
ly safe to put in print.
A fight was brewing. Both were
old sailors who loved a fight and it
was only when Norris thundered
"You old fool, i tell you. the name
is Utell'' that the atmosphere cleared
off.
VIM. D. Calverley is a personal
friend of u. S. Senator Townsend and
U. S. Senator Newberry of Houghton,
Mich, also Congressman of his dis
trict, Frank Wilson, and has prom
ised to call their attention to the
needs of a, lifesaving station here
on the North Shore. ''There are, as
[ recall them, about eighteen life
saving stations on the South Shore,
he said, "and not one on the North
Shore between Duluth and Port Ar
thur, which is simply preposterous,
If Congressman Carss of this district
would push this matter of life
saving station on the North Shore
before Congress I know that our
senators from Michigan and the
Congressman of our district would
stand behind him strong.

ton Copper, Railway Steel Spring
and American Car and Foundry as in
Vestments. n
Answer-Whether YOU should or
should not sell your Nevada Conner do
pends on a number of factors, one of
which is the price you paid for the

share on its l,999,l57 shares of stock
outstanding in 1918. 1t produced 76.
b07. 900 pounds of copper in 1918, at
cost OF 1898 cents pound. Production
'nls year Is running at rate of less
man 3O.OOO,0UO pounds and costs are
