SUPT. BIORK BROUGHT BACK THE
GOOD NEWS FROM CLEVELAND
AMAsA-PORTER TO pm co.
Supt. Lawrence and Other Officials
Took Possession Of Property
Last Monday.

supt. Arvid Bjork brought back from
Cleveland the good news that the
Bristol mine Of the oglebay-Norton
company will start work in the near
future. The exact date of the re-
sumption OF operations has not been
set yet but it certainly Will occur
before the first OF March
The local officials of the Bristol
have been expecting resumption Of
operations but nothing definite was
known until after the meeting OF the
company heads at Cleveland held last
week.
The Bristol has been working in n
small way getting things ready for
resumption. A new electric pump
was installed the first OF the month
and other development work. calculat-
ed TO pat The mine in position 70 make
good showing when work re-
sumed, was pushed.
The stockpile ground is about filled
up. Only small amount OF Bristol
ore was shipped last year and that
fact, coupled with the one that the
stocking ground Is about all taken up,
limits the amount OF ore that can be
put in stock at this property when
work Is resumed. It is probable that
that fact IS responsible for the hold
ing off OF resumption until March 1.
Amasa-POrter Changes Again.
supt Charles f. Lawrence of the
plckands-Mather company on the Me-
nominee range, accompanied by a
number OF his sub-ofTicials, went TO the
Amasa- Porter mine last Monday and
took possession OF the property for
the Verona Mining Co. which concern
will operate the property.
The Amasa-P Porter was recently TAX
en- over by the M. A. Hanna people
but Il was with considerable reluct-
ance and only 10 ACCOMMODATE tho
owners that IL was so taken. The
Hanna people preferred that the Ne
vada company should find others TO
take the property II possible and as
result the negotiations for the passing
OF the property 10 the Pickands-Math-
er concern was continued. In the
mean time other interests, among
them the Newport Mining Co. OF Iron
wood have looked the property over.
The change OF management this
time is permanent and plans are al

VACATION BUSINESS LARGEST IN YEARS
High Wages Result in Mum
 bers Visiting Many Sum- mer Resorts

Summer vacation crowds are pouring into Birmingham by rail and automobile and are pouring out the same way.
 Railroad officials report that vacation travel this year is heavier than in years. Birmingham, especially. in the trail of the southbound tourists, many of whom are stopping off for few days in the city lis feeling the result of this activity of the railroads
 It is estimated that over 2,oo0 people daily leave the city for the beaches or mountains, lakes or health resorts, while a similar amount return. If this was one way traffic alone. according to one otfI- cial of the Louisville and Nashville Com pany. by the first of August, Birmingham would not only have her hoped-for census figures, but would be on a fair way 70 be the first city of the south. By Novenl-
 Der l. this dream would be realized for she would have surpassed New Orleane in population.
 The reason for the large amount oi vacation travel is given that this is the first summer that really has been out ol | war. last summer having practically the same condition as during the war Another reason given is that the gen | eral prosperity of the country and tn | high wages paid permits more people t' take a vacation this year than ever ee | fore

June 29.-A ''phan- tom ape" huge and terrible to be- hold. with the habit of bouncing upon unwary boys and girls. has proved the greatest bugaboo this city has entertained since some one ex- ploded the theory of the man-eating hogwallacus. which had to be taken every day to the orphan asylum for his dinner
 Several schools, attended largely by foreign-born children report that the wild monkey scare. which has been growing for several days. is causing parents to keep children at home or send them to school under formidable escort.
 Franklin Hamm, principal of the Waverly Avenue School. found that several older children stuffed a bur lap sack and made monkey which they exhibited to favored voungsters in a dimly lighted school basement. It was given out that the beast was newly matched and that glass lying about was part of the broken egg shell.
 The impression made was so con siderable that today mothers, in some cases escorted by policemen called at the schools demanding their children be sent home for safety.
