George Ruppe, Ircnwood Mining Eng.
Was In Territory Last Summer

Many Crystal Falls people interest
ed IN. the trip made by the three bal
oonists 10 the Canadian wilds and
who are acquainted with George IL.
Ruppe, the well known Ironwood Min
ing engineer who visited Crystal Falls
last week. will be interested in know
ing that Mr.. Ruppe covered practical
ly the same route in Canada last sum
mer that the baloonists did last week.
In speaking OF Mr.. Rupees exper-
fences in the territory the News-Rec-
ord says.
Three months of hardship in the
Hudson Bay territory have made one
Ironwood man, at least, fully cogniz-
ant OF the perils experienced by the
three American baloonists-L -Lieuten-
ants Kloor. Hinton and Farrell. who
completed their dramatic return to
civilization on Tuesday after nearly
four weeks of wanderings in the for
ests OF the north region.
George II. Ruppe, local mining en-
gineer, not only made the trip from
Moose Factory TO Mattice last sum
mer in company with dwight +.
Woodbridg, a Duluth mining engineer
but he explored the territory for many
hundreds miles north OF Moose Fac
tory. The baloonists landed only 80
miles northwest OF Moose Factory
One Of the results of the trip was the
discovery OF large body OF iron ore
in the Hudson Bay territory by Messrs
Woodbridge and Ruppe.
That the travelling OF 22o miles
from Moose Factory 10 Mattice by dog
sled was no record, is the belief OF
Mr.. Woodbridge, who declared that he
and Mr.. Ruppe made the same jour
ney in eleven days. Indians have
been known to make the round trip in
nine days" he said
Much OF the territory in that region
is brrnt-over lands where the virgin
timber has not been logged. Moose
Factory is the headquarters of the
James Bay district OF the Hudson Bay
Companys business. There are only
thirty white men there At Mattice
the company has a post, which is used
largely as a mail distribution center.
On Mr.. Rupees trip no white man
was seen for the entire three months
and only on rare occasions were a
few Indians and Eskimos sighted.

Many Mines Closing

The Cuyuna range was the first hit
Operations on that range are prac,i-
cally suspended. The Michigan
ranges are getting il now and will
continue 10 get cuts for time.
At Wakefield last week the Ply
mouth closed entirely and the Sunday
Lake went to a one shift basis Other
properties, while not closing, trimmed
down TO the limit and on the wiscon-
sin side OF the Montreai river there
was a sharp curtailment
Saturday the Dunn and Tobin mines
suspended operations and the force at
the odgerS was cuo considerably.
II is quite probable that there will
be further curtailment here and else
where
One bright feature Of the affair is
that the properties suspending have
but little ore in stock and are behind
in development.

Iron Business Affected

The iron business was about the

nation in general business but its in
fection has been rapid and severe
for within comparatively short time
the iron business has dwindled, espec-
tally among the independents who,
iwould appear. didn't look as far
ahead as did the Steel Corporation.
They took exorbitant profits in the
spot market while the Corporation
held 10 medium plane. AS a result
the customers OF the Steel Corpora
tion stayed by that concern while the
independents customers swung TO the
Corporation as soon as their urgent
needs were attended TO. leaving many
OF the independents without business.
The result is certain TO be a cut

SEVERAL MINES CLOSED IN LAKE
SUPERIOR DISTRICT
CRYSTAL FALLS AFFECTED
Mckinney Steel Properties Closed
Last Saturday and Many Men
are Made Idle as a Result

The curtailment In operations Is
on in the Lake Superior Iron Mining
district and Crystal Falls has been
hit as well as other places. In fact
there are very few places that have
Mt been affected and all will be be-
fore the re-adjustment has gone 10
the limit
The reason for this curtailment
has been quite apparent for six
months to those who have kept their
eyes open TO what has been going on
in other parts. II started in the East
last spring and has been spreading
gradually since that time The tex
tile workers were the first 10 suffer
then came the copper interests, then
the farmers, then the loggers. and SC
on down the line.
Six weeks ago II was felt in these
parts first in a reduction OF wages in
the woods. Even this cut in wages
didn't bring the desired results and
last week many OF the lumber inter
ests commenced TO cancel contracts
and shut down plants.

that a meeting Of few ahead or

The United States Is willing to
oblige the dominion premiers and
move the date of the conference mp
to October or even late September,
but under no circumstances Will
any preliminary conference be he'd
which includes only few OF the
powers or which attempts to dis
pose of Far Eastern matters hurri-
odly while disarmaFnent questions
are indefinitely postponed.
II any OF the dominion premiers
pass through the United states on
their way home they will be well
coined and be given every oppor-
tunfty for discussion with the pres
ident and secretary of state but
positively nothing will be agreed
Upon by the United States until all

Causes Stir.
The London suggestion of pre-
liminary conference has caused
quite a stir in official circles. Of
ficials declined to surmise what
the reasons might be back of tae
proposal. On the face of 1T, the
move springs from desire 10 Sc
lect time gnd date convenient for
the dominion premierS. But is that
all? Some observers here think
Great Britain would like to talk
TO America privately with her dom
inion premiers present and. frame
program which would enable
Great Britain to proceed discreeLy
in the larger conference wherein
she will appear on the one hand
us the ally Of japan and on the 9TH
or as the friend of the United
States. This view is not shared
entirely, however. by any other
group OF observers who believe
Japan herself by reason of her il
timacy with Great Britain would
lot object to a special conference
between Great Britain's representa-
tives and the United States aud
Japan with the special purpose of
excluding China Japan, it is con-
tended. would like to have matters
fixed up before China appears on
the scene. The Japanese have new
or looked with favor upon the IN
clusion of China in the discussion
because of The capacity of the Chi
nese for spelling the best laid plans
of diplomacy.
Whatever the inspiration may be
for the suggestion of a preliminary
conference, the important fact is
that it will not be held. America
disapproves, and being the host
and the nation, too, which sent cut
the invitations the likelihood is
that the viewpoint of the United
States will prevail. The first round
in the inevitable skfrmishes be-
tween old world and new word
diplomacy are in progress and the
United States has spoken it's view
without equivocatian-ther must
be no cliques or private alliances.
