No. 5 Shaft.
8 a r face Work at a Standstill
At the IteA Jacket Shn-The ttelea
title American Anniversary Nam
ber Metropolitan tloanlac.
A large force of surface men and man-
on are at work at No. 5 shaft, Calumet,
on the new hoisting plant which is a)
ready well under waj at that place. The
new plant is to be on the same plan as
the plant at tbe Red Jacket abaft, as No
5 abaft is one of tbe double shafts and
has of late years proven to be one of tbe
richest about tbe mine and it is thought
that by nuttinir in tbe new plant the
hoisting ran be done a great deal faster,
in fact about twice as fast, and with
greater convenience. Tbe main building
to be used as engine bouse is 88x44 feet
on tbe floor and is built of red sandstone,
except the foundation. The sides and
end walls are already up and the roof,
which is to be of steel, ia to be put up
soon. Tbe masons are at work on the
tail bouse, which is to be a long building
19 feet wide and 4 12 feet in length. The
whole plant is similar to tbe Red Jacket
plant and the Corliss sinking engines will
be used. Tart of the machinery, which
has been made by tbe Corliss Steam En
gine Co., of Providence, R. I is already
here and will be put in place as soon as
tbe heavy foundations are built. Tbe
new engines are named "Marquette" and
' Chippewa," following tbe plan of nam
ing the engines from loral as well promi
nent names. When the new plant is in
operation the two shafts can be run at
the same time and one skip will be com
ing up while the other is descending tbe
shaft, this practically increasing the out
put from this shaft by 100 per cent. The
masons will probably get finished their
work this week on tbe outside, when
they will start on the foundations for the
engines in the new engine bouse.
Operations At the Red Jacket shaft are
practically at a standstill waiting for
the outside firm to move. The contract
to erect the combined shaft and rock
bouse of steel has been let to a Pennsyl
vania firm and the contract stipulates
that it must be up by October 1. The
foundation tor the new building is up
and everything is in readiness for the
Pennsylvania firm to commence opera
tions. Anniversary Sum ber.
Our acknowledgment and greeting are
due to tbe Scientific American, tbe receipt
of w hose handsome anniversary number
reminds ub that our esteemed contempo
rary has completed the first half century
of its existence. It was fitting that a
paper whose range of subjects is so ex
tensive should devote its semi-centennial
number to a review of scientific and in
dustrial developments during the past
fifty years; and Messrs. Munn & Co. are
to be congratulated on the discriminat
ing judgment with which this ambitious
work has been carried out. In a review
of this kind the difficulty is bo to select,
condense, and express the essential facts
of the subject that the result shall be a
reference book and readable story in one.
In the number before us tbe writers have
achieved this result to a marked degree;
the historical Interest and the literary
style of the article being equally good.
The illustrations appear to have been
chosen with a strict regard for their hi
storic interest, and readers will linger
over such views as those of the American
built steamer Arctic, tbe fastest vessel on
tbe Atlantic in 1852, Morse's pendulum
instrument of 1837, and his telegraph
receiver of 1H44, Edison's first phono
graph, the patent office models of Howe's
and Wilson's sewing machines, the first
"safety" bicycle, the first McCormick
reaper, the original Franklin hand press,
cuts of early forms of the telephone and
electric motor, and many another en
graying of historic interest. The subjects
which have necessarily been crowded out
of the illustrated columns are more briefly
noted in a very readable article at the
commencement of the paper; and not the
least interesting features is the admirable
essay on the progress of invention during
the past fifty years which won the $ 2."0
prize, offered by the editors, for the best
essay on the subject. The paper is
handsomely enclosed in a cover which is
appropriate to the nature and scope of
its contents. The price of the special
issue is 10 cents, and is well worth ten
times thissum.
Accident at .orth Tamarack.
The North Tamarack mine was the
scene of another distressing accident
early last evening, when John Shuti and
John Ericson were quite severely injured
by an explosion of powder.
It seems that two sets of met were at
work on the 11th level one on the out
side and the other on the inside when
one of the men on the outside went in to
tell the others to remain there until after
the blast, at least that is what tbe part,;
on tbe outside understood. The man
who went inside, however, thought he
was to bring the others out and they
came out just as tbe blast took place.
The men were quickly removed to sur
face and taken to the Tamarack hospi
tal In the ambulance. Shuts bad bis sid,
bead and shoulder badly injured, while
the other man and two partners received
bad flsh wounds. The accident was tbe
result of misunderstood signals. Shut
is still at tbe hospital and will remain
there for the remainder of the week,
while the others were discharged.

M int One Voter Says.
One ballot was accompanied by a let
ter which said he voted tor the man in
Michigan "whom he loved for the enem
ies he had made" and for whom (Pin-
gree) there was a large sentiment in the
Upper Peninsula, notwithstanding Judge
Ilubbell's interview in Saturday's Free
Press, and the writer advised the would-
be politicians of this town (Calumet) to
get into the band wagon and ride with
the Pingree crowd or if they don't he ad
vises them to look out for the county, as
the jeople are sore over the way the lust
caucus was held, where, tbe writer
laimed, thirty out of forty-four delegates
were defeated through scheming, (not
honestly) and which is more than tbey
can stand.
The Evelyn Gordon company opened a
week's engagement at tbe Opera House
last night when they presented ' "Lsdy
Audley's Secret," and made a most fav
orable impression. The company is
composed of several good Artists and
they displayed their abilities to excellent
advantage in last evening's play. The
audience was pleased throughout and
were not at all backward in showmg
their appreciation for the applause was
frequent and enthusiastic. Considering
tbe price of admission the Evelyn Goraon
company puts up a first-class entertain
ment and are worthy of good patronage.
The specialties introduced pleased the
udience. This evening "Miss Smith, of
Clifornia, will be produced.
Card of Thanks.
To all those neighbors and friends who
by their attentions and acts of kindness
helped to case the last days on earth of
our beloved daughter, amongst whom
we would mention I)r. and Mrs. Hunter,
the former of whom officiated at the fun
eral at the deceased's expressed desire,
we wish to return our most sincere
thanks; also would we thank those who,
after the decease of ourdaughter, showed
so much sympathy for us in our bereave
ment, and certainly not forgetting those
who tent the beautiful floral offerings.

John Michaelson, the original "shioer,"
leaves on this evening's train for Duluth,
where be exjtects to obtain steady em
ployment. The little fellow was going
around bidding bis patrons good-bye,
and as a token of appreciation was giv
ing them a free shine, or rather was offer
ing to do so. Johnnie thinks there is a
good field here for a "shiner" who will
attend to the business regularly as be
did, instead of, like the other boys, work
ingatitby fits and starts. The Nkwb
wishes Johnnie success in his new field.
That llallot.
The ballots are not coming in as fast
as they might. As up to the present
time only twenty-seven have been re
ceived, it does seem as if the voters gen
erally should take more interest than
they appear to do in such, which are
really to them, vital matters. , Ry their
own action, or rather want of action,'
tbey allow the so-called politicians to
run lhtn, and then afterwards kick be
cause such is the rase.
