CAR SERVICE POOR

There Is a universal complaint OF
poor car service, especially upon the
Northwestern road this winter. The
railroads are going 10 cause the job
bers many dollars loss because OF
their dllatory method OF furnishing
cars upon which to load logs.
The service upon the 81. Paul Is
some better than the Northwestern
as the latter line has fallen down
completely and ruined the good repu-
tation that II had in the past for fur
nishing cars to loggers. Last winter
and for several winters previous the
Northwestern was looked upon as
the best road in the world to log a.
long. Not so any more.
Another item that Is causing some
alarm Is the scarcity and high price Of
car wire Wire. like all other things.

A BrsY BRANCH

The st. Paups Iron River branch
from Charming 10 Iron River is the
scene OF numerous jobbing operations
this winter. A ride over the line be-
tween Crystal Falls and Iron River
will open the eyes OF the uninitiated
as to the amount OF logging done on
this road the present winter.
We counted dozen different log
ging jobbers at work along that part
OF the line one day this week and be-
tween here and Charming there are
nearly as many more. These jobbers
all expect TO put In from half million
to a million feet this winter and II the
breakup doesn't come until late in
March they will all attain their OBJ
jectives.
There has been no such a hum in
the iogginb industry since the boom

MANY Ill AT IRON RIVER

Iron River was about as badly af-
fected with the flu this winter as any
place in the union. Last Monday one
OF the banks had but two men at work
out OF a force of half dozen. The
Reporter office was in about as bad
shape as any other place in town with
Pat o'Brien and Andrew Hartley the
entire force.
Seven teachers were III in the high
school force and so the conditions
ranges all through the community
The camps about Iron River were
working with about half enough men
to do the work. Bosses and cooks
were rushed into the loading breach
and everyone was trying to keep the
work going.
Crystal Falls has escaped so far but
it's perhaps too early to crow yet as
we are not out OF the woods by long
ways.

nITcH IN BOXING BOUT.
-Red- Erspamer Notifies Committee
He Cannot Take Part

The much advertised boxing bout
between John Shemky of Crystal Falls
and Red Erspamer OF Hurley was in
terrupted during the week when the
Hurley boy notified the committee at
Caspian, where the bout was to have
been pulled off that his physician has
forbidden his taking part in further
boxing matches, at least for the pres
ent.
4. The calling off OF the match was
quite disappointment to a number
of local fans who wanted to see Shem-
ky in action against the Hurley boy.
Erspamer was slatedto meet Shemky
here on Labor Day last fall and at
that time the plans failed because OF
the illness OF Erspmer.
II is claimed that negotiations are
on to bring Perkins or some other
heavy weight TO Caspian to meet
The hackers OF Shemky in
Crystal Falls are seeking to make ar
for the running OF a
special train to accommodate the fans
OF Crystal Falls and Alpha who want
to attend.

WOOD HAS THE LEAD
xiniRg Journals Poll Of the Upper Pc
ninsula Shows Gen. Fayorite.

The Marquette Mining Journal pub
lished the result OF its poll OF the
upper peninsula on the presidential
question last Saturday and II showed
that Gen. Wood Is the favorite by
quite large odds with Gov. Lowden
second.
The Mining Journal sent out ballots
10 700 upper peninsula residents and
500 answered the request. This Is a
pretty good return and the vote may
be taken as indicative OF how the pc
ninsuia stands right now.
II is quite evident that Gen. Wood
or Governor Lowden will either one
be very acceptable to the upper pc
ninsula as most OF those voting for
Wood prefer Lowden for second
choice and those voting for Lowden
take wood for second choice.
The Lowden campaign Ia Just get
ting started and six weeks from now
a similar canvass may show an alto
gether different result so far as pro
portions are concerned although II Is
quite probable that General Wood
will maintain his popularity and get
plurality OF the votes cast above the
straits az the coming primary.

WILL EMPLOY A BIG CREW or
MEN AT ONCE
TO ADD NEW LEVEL TO MINE
Resumption at This Property Makes
More Severe the Competition
Between Mines

Supt. Harrison of the McKinnev
steel Co. announced last Monday that
the Tobin mine would be started nm
at once and on Tuesday morning men
We're set at work tearing off the
boards from the windows, starting
iires under the boilers and getting the
engine and boiler houses at the prop-
erty ready for work.
The Tobin is a big property. 1t
was closed Just about year ago he
cause OF the accumulation OF ore and
the slump in the iron business owing
to the cancellation OF orders by the
government. At the time the property
was closed single shift of 100 men
was being worked. The property. II
worked to its capacity, will employ
from $50 to 300 men. II Is understood
that Just as many men as can be OBJ
tanned will be set at work.
The stocked ore OF the better grade
was all shipped last summer so that
there is plenty of room on the docks
for ore. II will take a couple OF weeks
to get the crew organized. the mach
inery all back in the condition that IL
was when the mine closed and the
number OF men necessary to operate
on a basis OF profit.
The underground conditions at the
property are A as the mine was kept
free of water while Il was closed
down. The Tobin doesn't make an ex-
ira amount OF water and is very de-
sirable property to laborers.
WIN Add A New Level
At the time the mine was closed a
year ago the winze was being sunk
from which the new lift OF the main
shaft was to be raised and the new
level opened up. We understand that
this work will be resumed at once al
though there is plentiful supply OF
ore on the old level for this seasons
operations
The owners installed a new electric
pump while the mine was idle so that
steam will be used only in the. hoist
ing operations and in warming up the
house.
The old employees OF the Tobin will
flock back to the mine.
Many OF them are working at other
properties in this district and quite a
number have gone to other fields.
Men have started coming back TO
Crystal Falls and IL Is expected that
within a few weeks the procession OF
last year will be reversed and people
will be moving in instead OF out.

DOING BIG BUSINESS
Herman Holmes One Of The Biggest
Jobbers In Upper Peninsula


A reporter for The Diamond Drill
visited the scene OF the main opera
tions In the logging line which Her
man Holmes Is carrying on in Iron
county this winter and was amazed
az the extent of the work being done.
Mr. Holmes is operating half dozen
camps but the big job is south
OF Stambacgh near the Brule river
where he is employing a Phoenix
steam log hauler TO haul the logs
from the chopping to the Caspian
landing near Caspian village
One OF the finest logging roads we
ever saw has been constructed for
the machine to run over and since Il
started working last month it hasn't
missed trip. The machine hauls
ten sleighs in train and makes two
trips per day over the seven mile
road.
The sleighs are mammoth affairs
with 16 foot hunks. We counted 63
logs on one sleigh and not one OF
them measured less than IL inches
at the top. Mr.. Holmes is putting in
about 75.0O0feet OF logs per day from
this camp. He has completed his
skidding operations and will for the
balance of the winter confine his at
tentions to hauling.
One OF his timber tracts covers
Sheridan hill, the highest point of
land in Iron county. He has cut and
skidded about half OF the timber
tract covering this big range and
will start hauling from that place in
about a week. The road winds a.
round the hill, much In the manner
that the railroads do in climbing the
mountains in the west. The hauling
machine will travel the main road but
he will not put IL over the branches,
although the machines are operated
In other places over worse grades
than those on Sheridan hill. lie will
consolidate his timber by hauling TO
the main road from the branches and
loading out there.
Mr.. Holmes is associated with Tom
Montambo in the numbering opera
tions this winter and the timber will
be cut into lumber at the Pentoga
mill which is running night and day to
take care OF the cut.
The immense loads cause frequent
breakage OF the sleigh runners. cross
beams and irons but Mr.. Holmes has
Ed. Udd on the Job to take care of
the repair work for him and he is
doing IL nicely although II keeps him
hustling some times.
Besides this camp Mr.. Holmes has
one near Alpha, another near Atkin-
son. another several miles west OF
his Sheridan hill camp and camps at
Elmwood and Eastwood He will
harvest about fifteen million feet OF
logs this winter and Is employing
several hundred men in HIS opera
tions.

REMOVE TEMPTATION.
Hearing Before Judge Murphy Brings
Out Reasons For Boys Stealing.

Several boys ranging In ages from
eight 20 fifteen years were before
Judge Murphy last Monday charged
with stealing money and other things
from the business houses OF the city
One boy confessed TO stealing $50 90
In cash at different times from two
business men. The method EMPLOYED
was to get entrance TO the place and
take part OF the money in the TN. This
work has been going on for long
time and isn't confined to the bows
who were caught. There are others
implicated and precautions are being
taken whereby It is hoped that they
may be apprehended.
The revelations made to the mdge
were so startling that Judge Murphy
made inquiry In an effort to find out
the motive for the crimes. The boys
said that they spent the money buying
candy, ice cream and going TO the
Bijou.
This line OF information lead one
OF the gentlemen present to tell OF
his observations in regard to boys
spending money in candy stores and
other places where slot machines and
punch boards are kept on the sly. Ha
told of instances where he saw boys
whom he knew didn't earn the money
they were spending nor yet did their
parents have the money to give them,
spending large amounts OF money.
When boy who is known to be In
destitute circumstances shows much
money ii is generally safe bet that
he didn't come by II honestly
That lead other gentlemen present
to remark that each evening certain
section of the seating capacity OF the
Bijou is taken up with young urchins
unaccompanied by their parents and
many OF them whose parents cannot
afford TO give them money to attend
the Bijou; they need It TO buy bread
and clothes.
This information lead to the infor-
nation that in the city OF Escanaba
the city council passed an ordinance
the proprietor OF moving
picture show to allow children OF
certain age to attend shows at night
unless accompanied by parent This
rule is such good one that all pres
ent suggested that some such arrange
ment be perfected in Crystal Falls and
as result OF the hearing and the In
brought out. the city COM
mission at its meeting last Monday
night passed such an ordinance.
the proprietors OF moving
picture shows in this city will be re-
CURED to deny admission TO children
under 16 years OF age when such
child is unaccompanied by parent
or guardian.
The commission has left the en-
OF this ordinance with the
city police and 1t intends TO have it

RESUMPTION OF OPERATIONS TOOK
PLACE WEDNESDAY
MINE DID EXCELLENT WORK
Recovery of the Mine From Sand
Run Was AccompIishedThor-
oughIy and in Good Time

The hoisting OF ore was resumed at
the Carpenter mine this week
after a shutdown OF four months due
to the caving of portion OF the back
Of one Of the slopes which allowed
the sand to nh the openings. The
time since the caying occurred has
been consumed in clearing the mine
OF the sand and getting it in shape to
Withstand anything OF the kind in the
future.
The cave occurred in September at
time when the company was hurry
ing up the shipments so as 10 com
plete the allotment given the proper
ty. At the time OF the cave there were
nearly 500 men employed at the Car
penter and Mononganela mines. The
cave stopped all work for a brief per-
iod.
Immediately steps were taken TO
shut off the Monongahela from the
Carpenter and as many men as could
be put at work in that property were
started. The attention was turned to
getting the Carpenter clear OF sand.
This task was a "ticklish" one for the
reason that the source of the sand
supply had TO be got at and effectu-
ally shut off before any removal OF
the sand body could be undertaken.
Attacked At It's Source
The method employed was to first
cut off the water in the sand overbur-
den by putting pumps in the pm and
back OF the cave underground 20 ef-
fectually drain the sand OF the source
OF annoyance. When the water prob
lem was conquered the next thing was
TO shut of the sand from running az
ter the drifts were cleared and 10 do
this bulkhead was put in near the
source OF supply OF the sand.
This was very particular work and
had to be done slowly and carefully.
When the bulkhead was in the work
OF clearing up the level was started
and pushed carefully until the lower
that shut of the sand from
above could be put In place. With
these barricades in the woTkmen were
free to go ahead safely and all hands
we're turned to clearing up as rapidly

Airplane's Signals

 at Fort Macintosh signals sent from plane were recorded at Del Rio, Texas, a distance of 175 miles. An altitude of 300 feet was maintained during most of the time and a general north and south course was flown. The messages were received without a break although the opera tor stated that at times they became faint and the distinctions varied, due likely to the direction of the flight
