FROM THE MINES
J,
The Columbia.
The bailer at the Columbia bus been
working very satisfactorily thm latter
part of the week uml the water in being
lowered ut u fail ly good rate. Consider
ublo trouble war exerieuced tho early
part of the week on utcount of tho guuge
of the kip road, in which tho bailer is
working, having changed. Tho change in
duo to tho fact that tho back runnel
were forced ahead by the nettling of the
shaft at tho time of tho cave. Thw con.
dition of ulfuiiH will probably continue
until all of the live ground nbout the
chalt ha I fen passed. Tho stockpile
ha all been cleared up, including about
ten thousand ton left over from lat
year, and sloping from thin proeity in
at an end until ore can bo hoisted from
the mine.
The Mansfield.
Art previously stated in these column,
thin ininp ban lcen entirely freed of
water. The bottom levels of the mine
havo Ix'eu thoroughly examined and the
conditions there, as far an we can learn,
go to show that the commonly accepted
ciuim'H of the caving of the mino four
yearn ago do not cover the cane. It id
true that the o tern torn ut that time
had worked up clone to tho bed of tho
river, but the condition prevailing
ImIow would suggest that the primary
cause wan due to the weakening of the
suppoi Is of the M h level of the mine.
Tho (th level, whieh in the lowest level of
the mine, remain intact, but all above
that is caved. The large Woi thing ton
pump wan found to Ik) in good condition
and will, ns noon iih some new parts
that are nettled to replace tho worn out
ones are procured, Ik) used to handle the
water of the mine.

The Tllden Mine.
The Tildeu mine at Jlessemur, Michi
gan one of the greatest ore producer! on
the (iogebic range, has (wen Hold or
leased to the Carnegie-Oliver syndicate,
which last winter purchased the Moun
tain Iron proHr(,y on the Mesaba range.
A short time ago work was tuiseudcd
at the Tllden mine and it was an
nounced that the mine would lie closed
for the remainder of tho year, and possi
bly all winter. This week, however, tho
steam shovels have Urn Met to workmen
the stink piles and it iri now said that
work will lie resumed immediately with
a large force. This activity is attri
butes! to the change in ownership. Tho
condition to tho lease under whieh Car
negie will oterate the proerty are prob
ubly similar to those made in the case
of the Mountain Iron, the leHscvH- guar
anteeing Korkefellcr a large annual out
put for his lleet of lake vessels. The
amount paid is not given, but it is sail I
to be Homething over $1,000,000. The
Tilden is one of the largest mines on tho
(iogebic range, Herond only to the Nor
rie, and contains ore of a very high
grade.
Mosabl Hansa.
The Oliver Mining company received
orders and commenced loading ore from
tho Ohio mine, Monday. While for some
time past it has been rumoied that the
Ohio hail Ix'came a part of tho Oliver
holdings, no tangible proof of the rot
redness of tho rumor has heretofore
len obtainable. Tho Oliver company
is in a position to work this prowrty to
a great advantage in connection with
their Missabe Mountain ami Lono
Jack holdings. The ore U ing forwarded
from the mini is of excellent quality.
Tho first car of iron ever shipped from
the Aicturus mine was hauled into
(irand lhipids Saturday and on Monday
was forwarded to the Illinois Steel com
pany at South Chicago. Tho proterty
is located twelve miles northeast of
(iruud Kapids, on the western Mesaba.
lLVortn from the printer ty would indi
cate that a large body of oreofdeair
uble quality had been proven on the
proerty. Four hundred feet of drifts
have la-en run front the bottom of the
shafts at a depth of 10.S ami 112 feet.
Henry C. Foote, who hi bean ju charge
of the operation at tho property, is a
on of Vice-president Footo, of tho Illi
nois Steel company, members of which
corporation are Udievetl to be inter-
ehtinl in I ho proerty. It is claimed
that arrangements are being made for
the building of 11 pur track from the
1'uluth, Superior A Westwru Kailway to
tho property and that tho mino U1 fil
ter the list of active shiperM another
season. Tho option on tho Aicturus,
given a few months ago by the Aicturus
Iron Iliniug company, calls for a pur
chase print of $100,000 Knterpriso.
The largo tu.lume id iron ore ship
ments continues aiul there are now
atsiut 2,(M0 cars u ihiy hut down tho
takes from I'uluth, Two Hailstr and
SuK'iior, the hitter hipping the output
of the Mahoning and lYuolmcot mine.
Shipments from I'uluth alone are, on
the average, 8J0 curs a day, or aUmt
ton. Freight rates arc linn and

Mum i on Ike jWDtw-Hola, rangrs
hava been looking at the fight that
waa to have been inaugurated by
their brethren of the Marquette
district with much interest, tho union
being strong on tho Menabi, but the ex
pected hut happened and the strike has
died before it was fairly born. There
was no effort to draw tho Minnesota
in intra into any compromise, but had
the Ihlipeuiing strike taicceoded there is
no doubt a (similar stteinpt to strength
en the union on tho Mesabi would have
been begun later.
The Mesabi roud is receiving
bids for an extension of its lino
from llibbing to the new 1'illsbury
property, which it proposes to ojkii
this wiuter. The property is about two
and one-half miles west of llibbing.
Itoth the road and Consolidated mines
have advanced wages about ten s-r
rent, nnd there is considerable tempor
ary scarcity of labor ut nil Minnesota
iron towns.
Some yearn ago tho Ihduth
Iron aud Steel company built a one
hundred ton blast furnace, and gave a
trust deed to necure $ 10,000 in bonds
to the Franklin Trust company,
of Philadelphia. Tho trust company
has asked for a decree onlci ing the
property to lie Hold, under which the de
fendant would lose its twelve mouths'
redemption eriod. The latter has filed
an answer asking that tho bonds he
foreclosed like any other property, The
property is alleged to be worth at least
three time, tho amount of the debt.

were once volcanoes aggregate almost
1M.000 fewt in height are Keen for
hours at a stretch and in regular succes

these lungnillceiit js nks. They are cov
ered with ice anil lo climb to the summit
of one of them is a feat. The lowest of
these mountains is '.(7o0 feet high, and
each mountain is visible for its height.
Their names were given to them loo
years ago by distinguished men. 1'very

It is itKI'oKTKn that J. Q. Adams, of
Negaunee, has the support of Hon. S.
M. Stephenson for the the position of
collector of customs.
" .
Hon. F. ('. Ciumiuchi.aiv, of Iron
wood, is a candidate for tho attorney
ship of the western district of Michigan.
Mr. Chamberlain has made an excellent
record Kir himself and stand.! a good
show of winning the prize.
Tiik advance of fifty st cent, in tho
value of wheat aud tho fall id twenty
five per cent, in tho value of silver in the
past year does not quite justify the ' as
sertions as to the iclatious of wheat and
silver which were U'ing urged upon the
farmers of tho country at this time last
year. .
With American tin plate not only sup
plying the iiiarlutrt of our own country,
but actually making a bid for tho mar
kets of the world, the iVmocrnl ie asser
tions of six years ago that protection
could not make this industrv succesHfid
iu Jhe United States are anything but
pleasant reading to tho men who mado
them.
It h ktatici) on good authority that
Kd. Coo, of Whitewater, Wis., who is the
chairman of tho Wisconsin l.'epublican
State Central committee, is to lo the
mut s'nsion Hgent at Milwaukee-. We
congratulate Urot her Cop upon his good
fortune and tho Hepublicans of Wlscon
sin upon tho good judgment that they
hsvo displayed in the matter. Mr. Ce
is Iho father of F.llsworth S. (W, of Iron
Mountain.
A M4V named Smith, who has enjoyed
the privilege of lunching nt the public
ciib for some time past, under
took to "get even" with Senator
lhnrowR last week by publishing
several Mtatements in the IVtroit F.ven
ing News, that wero calculated to reflect
upon tho senator. It developed later
(hut Uniith whs a candidate for mi ollice
of nomo kind antl that Henator Hurroii
had refused to endorse his application.
Onk bv one tho itilvcr countries of the
world are changing their currency to n
gidd basis. Jnpan has recently adopted
a gold standard and now Nienracua is
Jo follow suit. At a meeting of tho mer-
ihuiiU of ljtit country last wiik, a
revolution whs adopted uklu (ho gov
ernment to plftca the country on a gold
basis. The ilvcr dollar of that country
has fallen to thirty rents and tho gov
eminent is aked to ci port the pres-nt
silver coinage.
WoiiwiNoMtN in the United States
may cuouratulato themselves that they
rejected Jat. year the proposition to
place the American dollar ujkiq tho
eamo bauis as tho Mexican dollar. Tho
working eoplo of Mexico now find their
dollar worth but forty cents and ytt
are not receiving uny increa.H'd number
oft hem as wages, while the piices of
article, which they are conqH-lled to buy
with them have ad vanced us measured
by depreciated dollars in which they are
paid.
Tiik lurid km nun of northern Wiscon
sin and Michigan are piepaiing for the
largest lumln r cut this winter thai has
Ucu made in made iu many ycais. This
is made possiblo from the fact that the
hiugley tariff has shut out the Canadian
IuuiImt which, tor the past four years, has
monopolized thecai-tcrii markets to the
exclusion of the westei u IuuiImt. Then,
the uncertainty oftho election last f.ill
led a great many IiiiiiUt conqanies to
curtail their output, so that the i.e. nt
heavy purchases have cleaned up the
stocks of tho country fairly well.
TliitKK-Koi Id us of our for eign commerce
in tho lineal year jiM ended was with
the gold-standard nations of the woild.
This is a point which may Is of interest
to the people who are still considering
whether tho United States ought, to
adopt the fret coinage of silver and thus
put ourselves ou a leva! with Mexico.
China, and the weaker of the South
American countries. OT the SI ,SOO,ooo,
t)O0 of our foreign commerce last year,
over two-thirds was with Kiiiohmii na
tions and less than s:tD,O0O,H0 with
nations having the silver standard.
Ikon coi'NTY has a candidate for the
posit ion of Iloceiver of the United States
Land Ollice at Marquette, Mi. dr., in the
person of Thomas Seadden, of Crystal
Fulls. A petition recommending his
appointment has Ucu circulated ficcly
nbout t he upMr peninsula the past few
works and on every hand Mr. Seadden
is receiving the heaitiist kind id sup
poit. Mr. Seadden is a thoroughly
cotnH'teut man and h iu every way
deserving of the position which he is
after. lie was educated at Cornell
University nnd his expeiienee in the
line of nui k requiied by the position he
seeks, both in the upjKT peninsula of
Michigan and in Minnesota, has Item
such as to eHicieutly i quip him for the
duties of the ollice.
'1 iii:kk seems to Ik- quite a distin banco
upon the political seas in the uper
penii'Nul t the pant week, owing to the en
trance of (iad Smith, of Marquette, into
the race for the position of collector of
customs. It was commonly understood
that the senatois had decided upon
.John .Jones, of Isheiuing, ns the lu st
man for the place, but later develop
ments go to show that the other candi
dates, Chapman, of Chippewa county,
nnd J. (J. Adams, of Negaunee, male
t hings so war in that the senators tire
thinking now of making a compromise
and of trotting in a "dar k horse." Ac
cordingly the friends id id Cad Smith are
urging his appointment upon the sena
tors with, it is reported, fair chances of
success. Such a move would certainly
In; a sat isfactory settlement if tho eon
test gets too warm.
Tin: IVmoaatic bargain counter Ix-inn
in a seriously depleted and unattractive
condition at the present moment, the
leaders of that party are now searching
for new novelties. Free silver and free
trade have lost their nltrnetivcncs
despite the advertising which 1hey have
Intii given, the ox r imcnts by tin pub
lic in that line having nauseated them
with that class id cheap goods. Il is
proliable that the next asoi (merit of
wjiies which then' gent l men will offer
will be Henry tieorge's fringk' ts,adi -nunciatioii
of "gov ei men t by injunc
tion," a proposil ion to adopt the initi
ative and the icfciendum system by
which the people of tho country may le
kept in a constant uproar by having un
opportunity to initiate legisl.it nm or to
pass upon measures Is fore these meas
ures can come act ually into opei ation
