mIGH SCHOOL WINS Two

, The Crystal Falls High School bas-
ket ball team added two scalps TO its
string during the last week The
victims were Vulcan and Iron River.
The score in the first game was 33 to
lie. Iron River went under to the
tune OF 35 to 16.
The Vulcan game was played last
Friday night, and was one OF the
slowest games seen on the local court
in years. Vulcan tried hard enough.
but could not find the basket. The
local team evidently figured that IL
had an easy job on its hands, and did
not exert itself II was satisfied TO
keep the score doubled. or the S3
points scored by Crystal Falls Ru-
dolph Larson made 13, McKernan 10.
Dodero 6. Gnody and Trevarthan 2.
For Vulcan Burr, forward, and Gel
son. guard, shared the honors in
scoring. Each made points. A bas-
ket by Afford and Mccarthy made II
16.
Tho the Vulcan game was slow,
there was nothing slow about the
game put up by Iron River on their
invasion Wednesday night. When
Crystal Falls played in Iron River
Feb. they were lucky to escape with
two point win and Iron River came
over with a determination OF showing
the Falls how to play ball The re-
suit was a game very much better
and faster than the score indicated.
The Red and Black had to fight for
everything II got.
Iron River scored first: Duff. for
ward. making the counter on a clean
shot from the center OF the floor But
a basket by Larson started things for
Crystal Falls, and al the end OF the
first half the score was IL 20 g. The
Red and Black started the second
half with rush. making four bas-
kets IN a row. In this period Kol-
berg, forward, did some pretty shoot
ing for the invaders, getting three
baskets in the short time he was i'm
the game.

er: Champion, guard; Gibbs, guard,

WILL STOP MINING AND SINK SHAFT
WITH TWO SHIFTS WORKING
MEN WORK WEEK ABOUT
MonongaheIa Men to be Transfer
ed to the Carpenter Mine Which
will be Worked Double Shift

On March / the Bristol mine Will
suspend hoisting OF ore from the pres
ent mine workings and start the work
Of sinking the shaft another lift. All
OF the single men will be laid of and
the married men will be worked week
about in the shaft sinking.
The Bristol has been hoisting ore
at lively rate all winter SO that its
stock dock is filled TO the limit. The
suspension OF mining operations does
not come Unexpectedly as il has been
rumored about for some time
that some move OF the kind was TO be
made about March.
The work OF sinking the Bristol
shaft will be continued through the
balance OF the winter and most OF the
summer as the shaft is a large one
and will require much time.
Stopped Mt Fortune Lake ~
The drill which was operating all
summer on the Fortune Lake property
or the Oglebay-Norton company was
taken on several weeks ago and az
the present time there is nothing be-
ing done there.
IL Is understood that some shifting
OF interests within the owners OF this
property is at present in motion so
that the property will undoubtedly be
tied up for year at least and then
the future of II may be told with
greater certainty.
Ii is probable that some drill work
will be done 20 the south OF the For
tune Lake property the coming sum
mer as the owners have interested
some lower Michigan interests in the
exploration OF the land. There are
rich possibilities in that neighborhood
and II is hoped that some OF them
may materialize.
Tis said that the Carpenter mine
will be put on two shift basis in the
near future, the men from the Mon
ongahela mine being transferred
thereto. The Carpenter and Monon-
gahela have been working on one
shift basis for several months.
The new lift on the Carpenter shaft
has been completed and II is expected
that the skips Will be dropped down
TO the new level next week. Owing
TO the delay in getting located in the
ore last fall the development work
at thds property Is behind and II the
shift of men from the Monongahela
is made II will undoubtedly be for the
purpose OF getting the Carpenter OPP
ened up ready for shipment when

POLITICS AT IRON RIVER
Efforts OF Reform Faction Meet With
Opposition From Open Town Faction

Prosecuting Attorney Waffen was In
Crystal Falls last Thursday and upon
being questioned by Diamond Drill
reporter as to the truth OF the state
ment that Gamblers Ticket" was be-
ing put up az Iron River replied that
II is his opinion that the gamblers
have nothing 20 do with the actual
tickets that are in the field for one
is headed by r. j. yanOrnum and the
other by VIM. Marolf and both or
these men are well known and reput-
able business men.
Asked as TO how the story that the
gamblers seek 10 run Iron River
got scattered about he replied that
there Is a basis OF fact to the threat
but 1t is SO complicated and covered
up that he can only relate the story
which is as follows:
A pool room belonging to Zigmund
Zyskowsh was raided under the or
der OF the new administration at Iron
River which administration started
in honestly to make Iron River de-
cent community TO live in.
Soon after the raid information
came TO Mr.. Waffen that Mr. Zyskow-
ski called upon Mr.. Ochltree, the vil-
lage president Ca gentleman well
known in Crystal Falls. and told MIR.
ochlitree that unless he laid or" on
the gamblers they would put up tic
ket against him and defeat him (Mr.
oehlitree) at the coming village cleo
tion.
Mr. Waffen went Immediately To
Mr.. 0chlitree and asked IL the story he
heard was true. 0chlitree said that
Zyskowski didn't visit him but he was
visited by an emissary who practi-
cally made the threat Mr.. Waffen
Immediately demanded the name or
the emissary but Mr.. OchAtree refus-
ed TO divlflge Il. Mr.. Waffen threat
ened To get the name OF the man IL
IL takes a grand jury to get IL but Mr..
ochlitree still refused to come
through.
Later Mr.. Waffen wrote Mr.. Ochli-
tree a letter demanding the informa-
ton and received a reply denying that
any conference such as Mr.. Waffen
heard was held and such as Mr.. Waf-
fen says ochlitree told him was held,
did really occur.

constahulary a few weeks ago but
nothing Intoxicating was found there
in. II Is claimed that he cannot
read or write the English language
