80 HORSE COLLARS
For 80 consecutive innings the
team had been shutout by big
league opponents. It seemed as
if the Tigers would hang on the
horsecollars, but the Mats just did
escape that ignominy. -Four hits

About the only man on the
team who finds time to smile
through the gloom that enshrouds
the camp is Zeke Bonura. The
big Italian is greatly myStified by
all of this. He talks with a bit of
an accent and speaks his mind
freely.
Hey, Harris, when are we
gonna win a game?" he de-
manded after yesterdays battle.
Its tough to lose all the
time. But it's a good team" he
hurriedly assured the manager.
Bonura is your type Of ball
player. He may look like a seal
at first base, but he is a ball
player. He can guard the foul line
better than Kuhel. He is a good
target, and he can hit that ball.

City Officials Summarize
Ely Work Relief Program
Report of Local Council u S. Community Improvement
Appraisal Shows Cooperation in Relieving
and Permanently in Projects Undertaken

In answer to the request of the Works
Progress Administration of Minnesota,
the City Council of Ely has made a re-
port in connection with the U. S. Com
munity improvement Appraisal.
The U. S. Community Appraisal is
"a national effort to obtain from local
public officials an analysis of the extent
to which the federal work relief
agencies since 1888 have met the I'M
employment problem and what the
various communities have realized as
a result of the operation of these
agencies, particularly CWA, FERA,
PWA and WPA.
The Ely report is signed by Mayor
Jack Peshel and attested by City Clerk
A. O. Knutson, and reads:
1.-THE first Relief program started in
the City of Ely was under the CWA.
We realize that the CWA was started
to relieve serious unemployment con-
dition which was common throughout
the entire country. Our City was par
ticularly hard hit by the complete stop
page of employment in our main in
dustry-iron mining. The City of Ely
attempted to take care of needy families
by employing the wageearner on work
financed solely from City funds.
The size of the problem can be ap-
preciated in our City of 600 people
when one considers that the normal
functions of our general maintenance
and street department can he carried
out by 80 or 40 men day. AT times
before the CWA was started we had
employed as many as 800 men per day
It was necessary to find projects or
which these men could usefully be used
which was an almost impossible task

for the same company, ]. B. Newsom
mining engineer of Grass Valley, Cali
fornia, demonstrated the successful
operation of the mammoth drill being
employed in sinking the air shaft at the
Zenith mine
Mr.. Newsom is responsible for the
host of machines built for the work to
be done at the Zenith where a five
foot Six-inch shaft is being drilled
through the greensboro formation to q
depth of approximatelysl2OO feet TO con-
meet with the 1900 foot level Of the mine
to furnish air for the inner workings.
The genial engineer, who has been In
the city fol tine past several months
and who has made many friends while
here also is responsible for the five-foot
shaft drilled at the Idaho-Maryland
mine at Grass Valley, few years ago,
this being the first proposition OF this
kind ever attempted.
The project here is a duplication OF
the Grass Valley job with the exception
Of more experience and putting the
knowledge gained in the California pro-
ject into execution here. Mr.. Newson,
with the assistance of Mr.. Gallagher,
designed machinery to care for the
work after studying the situation and
profiting by the experience gained In
California where he also designed the
machinery used in sinking the shaft.
Mistakes happening on the first JOB
were catalogued and in beginning this
project these errors were taken into
consideration and measures taken TO
obviate recurrence. with the result Of
perfecting system Of machinery and
necessary heavy duty hoists with super
structures and foundations to carry on
the work with minimum of set-backs
Several manufacturing concerns had
a hand in building the machine for
drilling this mammoth hole. The Falk
Company Of Milwaukee
furnished the driving mechanism while
the Lake Shore Engine Works of Mar
quette, Michigan. furnished the cylin-
ders used in the drilling. Three
cylinders are employed. These house
the machinery and runner and the drill

The drill works on the same basis as

there are mixture of sizes in use at
the present time ranging from No. TO
