operated by the Thalmann people but
Is owned in equal share with the M
A. Hanna interests and long efforts
have been rewarded here by the OPEN
ing up at depth of sufficient ore TO
make the property a valuable one.
The Dober mine OF the Oliver min
ing Co. has been giving more atten-
ton TO equipping the new shaft which
is TO serve their property. This
shaft with it's equipment -electrical--
was fully described by us some time
ago. The mine Is operating at capac-
ity again.
The James mine OF the Mineral
Mining Co. has been operated on a
bout the same scale the past year as
In former years. The ore from this
mine is shipped with the Baltic group
OF the Verona Mining Co. and has
been for several years.
The Dayidsons have been operating
to capacity during the past year.
There are four shafts on this prop
erty, the two original Davidsons be-
ing the most important producers. No
ore will be carried over at these props
critics.
The Wickwire group, which includ-
es the Homer and Cardiff, are very act-
i've. the Homer making a record this
year. II Is expected that a shipment
OF about 100000 will be secured. The
Cardiff Is yet in the development
stage. AS stated in our last mention
OF this property the intention OF the
operators is TO sink the shaft to
depth OF 500 feet before opening up
the ore body and work has been push
ed in the shaft all summer The Joint
tracks of the NORTHWESTERN and St.
Paul are being extended to this mine
and IT is expected that 1t will be in
the shipping list next year.
The group OF mines mentioned had
combined payroll last year of $1,000
900 which was distributed among the
laborers al Iron River and STAN
baugh. This fact alone gives one an
idea OF the importance OF that dis
trict for II is payroll that isn't ap-
proachaspie in industrial centers OF
many times the size Of that on the
west side.
All OF the money is available for
business in Iron River and STAN
baugh and business is large in vol
ume and everybody is prosperous who
gives his business the attention II
needs. Indications are that next years
payroll will be Just as large which
means that Iron county will be one of
the most prosperous spots on the face
OF the earth.

who know about such things that the
