deepest diamond drill hole ever pu
down anywhere in the world is nov
being bored on the Rand at poin
near johannesburg, by a crew O.
four Lake Superior men in the EN-
! ploy of a South African drilling
company. Two of the men are
residents of Ishpeming, and the
other two of Negaunee. The hole
is to attain depth of 5000 feet
according to the terms of the con
tract, and letters just received state
that at that time half of the task
had been accomplished. The work
is being done with the largest Sui
| livan drill ever made. They have
"Kaffir boys" and Cinnamon to dc
the rough work, and are well pleased
with the climate and their surround

On Thursday evening of last
week, Capt. Chas. TrezonaN enter
tanned about fifty gentlemen friends
with cards, music, etc. Those who
were present will remember the
affair as one of the finest and best
planned social events in the history
of Ely. Mr.. Trezona was ably as
sisted by Mrs. Trezona, Edith and
Will, Mrs. Prisk, Mrs. Wunder and
Mrs. Grabowsky. The occasion was
the forty-frst anniversary of the

Archie Philip, formerly deputy
game warden of Duluth, who left
this city for Idaho last spring, is in
the thick of the trouble over govern
ment claims in the vicinity of Sante,
where two men were killed recent
lv and another wounded, saws the
Duluth News Tribune. Mr.. Philip
was residing on claim twenty-five
miles from Sante, with his family,
and according to Peter McAlpine of
this city, who has returned from
there he has given out that he
would stick to his land, come what
would. But a letter was received
IN Duluth yesterday announcing that
Mr.. Philip has taken his family to
Sante, and that he was going to re-
turn to his property. He has, it is
said, valuable quarter section and
like many other settlers in that re-
glon, his right is contested by others
who charge claim jumping. Mr..
Philips declares that he proposes to
stand on his rights. He intended to
ask the governor of Idaho for troops
to protect the settlers until such
time as the differences of the claim
ants in that region can be. settled.
or until there is no longer danger
to human life. Mr.. Philip is known
In Duluth to be man of much de-
termination and in view of the fact
that two of his neighbo-s have been
killed from ambush, and another
wounded, his Duluth friends fear
that he may be foully dealt with be-
fore the trouble blows over.

When you visit a printshop adhere
strictly to the following customs
Go in like a cyclone; the force an.
preciates it. Tear down and strew
around all the exchanges; put sew
eral of them in your pockets. If
you left them there the editor might
read them. Then get up and mon
key with the job press. Read the
copy on the hook; the editor likes
that. Then spill some type; that's
funny and it will only take an hour
or so to put it back up. Pick up
everything you see and ask what Il
IS, that's the way to learn. Then
tell the editor how to run a paper
