The population of the Upper Peninsula of
between two hundred and three hundred
thousand people is whºlly dependent in a
direct or indirect way for its support upon
its natural resources and thousands of
people outside of this section in this and
believe that every year as the value of the
school shows itself more and more, as it be-
comes better known the world over for its
graduates, the people of the entire state
will take a greater interest in its welfare
even than they do now, and furnish it every
facility for its improvement and growth.
Michigan is nºt only noted for its mineral
resources, but also as a great agricultural
state, and we believe the two are more
closely connected than many have hereto-
fore realized. Up to the present time, at
least, very little in the way of farming has
been carried on in the Upper Peninsula,
that being almost entirely given over to its
lumbering, mining, and quarrying interests;
been done to improve mining methods
and more needs to be done along this
line. No one will gainsay the great
service rendered to agricultural in-
terests, by the various colleges and
agricultural experimental stations, and an
institution is needed to perform a similar
service for mining, an institution which
can thoroughly investigate problems which
confrontº the mines, but whose nature is
in an institution which is provided with
scientific apparatus

Mining School, and it speaks well for the

The Michigan Mining School is growing
simply because there is a demand for its
product, and the product turned out is up
with the times and meets the demands made
upon it.
In all lines of business, improvements are
constantly taking place, new methods are
being introduced, new machinery is being
invented and by a better knowledge of what
is required, methods in all lines of business,
are being improved upon and costs are
constantly being lowered. What is true of
other lines of business is also true of
mining; indeed, we might say that in no
other direction have improvements been
greater than in this, and it can be accounted
for in no other way than owing to the fact
that the improved methods in both machin-
ery, plan of work and knowledge of minerals
mined for, are almost entirely due to the
knowledge now taught in our technical
schools, among which the Michigan Mining
School stands preeminent.
state should have a school where all those
subjects should be taught which would aid
in developing its natural resources, but
where they could be not only taught in as
thorough a manner as anywhere in the
world, but better, and this is what is
claimed for the
Michigan MINING School,
not merely by those interested in its welfare, I
who would naturally speak well of it, but by
men posted on the subject from all parts of
the world.
It is now merely a matter of about fifty
years since the great natural resources of
the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, that
being the portion of the state which is par-
ticularly rich in minerals, began to be
developed. Of course, there are vast stores
of minerals which have been buried here for
untold centuries, but their development com-
menced only about fifty years ago, and then
in a very modest way; the foregoing state-
ment, however, we must correct somewhat
Michigan Mining Schööl.
Fifty, yes thirty years ago, Houghton
county, which today contains over forty
thousand people, was a dreary wilderness—
the forests of pine and hardwood, the lodes
of copper bearing rºck, and quarries of
sandstone were here, but little was known
about them; for mary years mining was
carried on in a primitive way, that is mines
carrying stamp and barrel work were

Northern portion of the state, further north
than Portland, Me, further north than
Montreal, Canada, yes, as far north
as Quebec it is the third richest
county in the state, being assessed by the
wrought, but little was known about making State of Michigan at $42,500,000. The
a 1% or 2 per cent we might say even a 4 balance of the Upper Peninsula is assessed
or 5 per cent lode profitable, and the mine at $68,850,000, bringing the grand total up
which produced a hundred tons mineral per
month was a bonanza; the price of copper
to $111,350,000, and when we remember
that the greater part of this vast amount is
owing to our deposits of Copper, Iron and
HON. JAY ABEL HUBBELL, President Board of Control.
Years ago properties were abandoned as
unremunerative, which today are paying
handsomely, because methods have so in-
proved both in machinery and manner of
work that costs of mining have been so far
reduced as to make formerly unremunera-
- - time properties today paying investments,
due, almost entirely to the increased known
edge of our mining engineers, mechanical
engineers, chemists, explorers, etc. which is
obtained by them in our technical schools,
and whose influence is being felt today from
the extreme North to the extreme South,
from the extreme East to the extreme West,
indeed, we might say it girders the world,
and
mining and kindred subjects are prominent.
Recognizing the fact, that the Upper
Peninsula abounds in mineral wealth in its
iron, in its copper, in its sandstone, and in
a less degree in other minerals, the State,
in 1885, decided to build and equip an In-
stitution where young men, not only of the
State of Michigan, not only of the several
states of the Union, but of the entire world
is noticeably pronounced wherever
º
to: there are evidences that some of the
copper bearing lodes were worked to a
small extent by a pre-historio race. Since
the discoveries of the vast deposits of iron
ore on the Marquette, Menominee and Go-
gebic iron ranges and the deposits of copper
in Keweenaw, Houghton and Ontonagon
sounties the ºf develºpment has ºn-
|creased in about the ratiothat our knowledge
of how to work the deposits has increased,
and we believe we are justified in saying
that with a continued increase of knowledge
on the part of our young men, so will the
development of the natural resources of our
state be increased.
In the early history of this section, mining
methods were crude and progress was slow
and painful, it costing more in those days
to lay down a pound of copper, or a ton of
iron ore than they can be sold for today at a
profit. But as methods improved, as ma-
chinery was perfected, as a knowledge of
how to overcome difficulties increased the

of extracting this wealth from the earth
are constantly being improved upon, and
that the men who are expected to make the
improvements are men who graduate from
our Scientific schools, is it any wonder that
the people of the State of Michigan de-
manded a Mining School, and is it any
wonder that the people of the Southern
part of the State should take the same
generous amount of interest in its welfare
as the people in this locality? When it is
remembered that every improvement that
is made which enables a pound of copper
or a ton of iron to be mined at less expense
adds to the value of the mines, and increases
by so much the value of the property and
decreases by so much the per capita tax of
the state? We unhesitatingly say, no, and

find an extensive market for their products,
Close down our mines and quarries, discon-
tinue all lumbering in the Upper Peninsula
and the people who would be among the
first to feel the effect would be our friends
in the Lower Peninsula-the Michigan
farmers. They would feel it in an increased
taxation, in a diminution of the sale of all
farm products, in a large demand on their
pocket books to support men out of em-
ployment, and in ways too numerous to
mention. On the other hand with the
starting up of every new enterprise in the
Upper Peninsula it has a good effect on the
demands made for the products raised by
the farmer. Now the more we know about
farming as it is learned in our agricultural
colleges the better farmers we make, and,
the more we know about mining as it is
taught in the
Michigan MINING Schoor,
the better miners we make and the easier it
mine, the more mines will be opened, and
the more mines the more men are em.

the State and lessen by so much the demand

say that here is where our Scientific schools
like the

who have the ability and the knowledge to
carry out just such enterprises as the
above; the investor big and little furnishing

Ridge.
In speaking of the Ridge mine among
other things the Ontonagon Herald says:
“If the money to be raised for reopening
the Ridge, is to be frittered away in a year
and the mine allowed to again fill with
water, it would be better for the county
that it never be pumped out.” Last week
we devoted about a column to the idea of
calling an assessment on the Ridge, and
with the money so obtained starting work.
Since our article appeared several small
owners of stock in this neighborhood, who
are acquainted with the situation and know
how foolish it would be to try to equip and
work the property with forty or fifty thou-
sand dollars, have thanked us for calling
attention to the situation, and agree
with us, that the ideas of trying to work
the mine with forty or fifty thousand
dollars was absurd, as it would use up the
amount realized from the assessment in a
short time, when there would be nothing
give the mines of Ontonagon county a
black eye, by trying to work a small prop-
erty with too limited an amount of capital.
There are four important reasons why we
believe if it is attempted to work the mine
it will result in failure. -
1st. The amount of mineral territory is
too small.
2nd. The amount proposed to be raised,
forty or fifty thousand dollars, is entirely
inadequate, as it would only furnish enough
capital to make a start with, and a poor
start at that, when another assessment
would have to be called.
3rd. The mine practically has no stamp-
ing facilities and an insufficient amount of
water if it had. For a mill like that owned
by the Ridge, in mining done today, is
looked upon about as good as nothing at
all.
4th. We do not take any stock as min-
ing men, in the men who seen to be at
the head of the movement. Mr. Highley
at the eastern end has never shown him-
self as able to handle that end of the con-
cern with any great amount of enterprise
and while Mr. Meads as superintendent, of
an idle mine may do very well, most any
body could, as superintendent of a working
mine, and one that would have to sail close
to the wind, we believe he would prove a
failure. As we said in our last week's ar-
ticle the calling of forty or fifty thousand
dollars for the purpose of working the
Ridge is absurd, for it would not buy half
the machinery required to do good min-
ing, no nor a quarter of it, to say nothing
about wages, etc. Of course forty or fifty
thousand dollars will do a little work and
will pay the superintendent and other offi-
cer's salaries for some little time, but
when it comes to opening and working the
mine its absurd.
Cousolidated Mines,
Nothing new has transpired during the
past few days regarding the starting up of
the Grand Portage, Isle Royale and Hºyon
mines, which were purchased by Mr.
Nathan Leopold for an eastern syndicatc.
That the properties will be worked there
seems to be +tle-doºrst, and worked, too,
on a large scale. Like all amygdaloids
the lode is bunchy but if enough ground is
opened up ahead and the property is
worked on a large enough scale it is be-
lieved by many of our best informed min-
ing men that the enterprise can be made
to pay and pay well, if this were not the
fact the recent purchasers would not have
taken hold of the project, as they were in
a position to advise with the most expert
mining men of the country, and they
would not have taken hold of the project
and have lain out a large amount of capi-
tal unless they were reasonably sure of its
bringing them in good returns. That the
working of these consolidated properties
as one mine will be a good thing for this
section there is no doubt, as to work it on
a scale commensurate with what it is
thought to be worth will require the em-
ployment of a large force of men and make
a corresponding increase in the population
of this vicinity and the amount of money
disbursed monthly. It is probably not
stretching it when we say that the consoli-
dated mines when in full operation, includ-
ing stamp mill, will employ from six
hundred to a thousand men, necessitating
large monthly disbursements, and having
a proportionate good effect on the business
interests of this section.
A few months ago, Mr. Byron Every, of
Woodstock, Mich., was badly afflicted with
rheumatism. His right leg was broken the

OUR BOSION LETTER
*Row ous spricial, Joakespondºn't.
Boston, Saturday, Feb. 6, 1897.
There has no bad news appeared during
the past week, but nevertheless something
of a set back has taken place, caused pro-
bably by the taking of profits more than
anything else; and this has been more no-
ticeable in the copper stocks than in any
other line of securities. I think after the
rapid advance it is only natural that some-
thing of a reaction should be in order, and
the very best information I can obtain is
this, that the market for some time will
work in waves and that every upward turn
will carry prices higher than the one before
it, and although there will of a necessity be
slumps, prices on each succeeding slum
will not go off as much as on the preceding
one. As I noted, no bad news has appeared
and there seems to be none in sight at the
moment. The past few years however have
tended to make people very cantions. Then
too, it must be remembered this is the sea-
son that the several states legislaturers are
in session, and there probably never was a
time when there were more tnutterings
against all kinds of corporations; in many
gases they don't mean much, but the mere
fact that they are heard has its effect and
tends to make people very cautions. At the
moment the market is largely governed by
the professional operator, the public not
being as much interested in the situation as
it is believed it will be when things have
really become more settled and people have
had, more time to forget the hardships of
ion that wheat is likely to go higher on the
foreign demand, and while I would not ad-
vise the purchase of securities on a margin
I believe the man that owns his stock and
oan hold on to it will obtain very much
higher prices.
MONEY MARINET,
Money continues very easy. Call money
rules at 203 per cent, and time at 30.3%
per cent. At the clearing house today the
rates between banks was 1% per cent. New
Yorks funds selling at 8 and 100. discount
for cash. There was a report this morning,
which appeared in one of the morning
papers of trouble here, which caused quite
a flurry until it was found that it was en-
tirely without foundation.
FOREIGN ExORANGE.
The exchange market is quiet at the fol.
lowing quotations. Cables $48794, de-
mand $487, 60 days sight $4.84%, com.
mercial bills 60 days sight $4.82%.
COPPER MARKET.
An item in the News Bureau from New
York has this to say regarding the copper
market :
Market for copper continues firm. Large
business in lake is reported at 120 for Feb-
placing the amount at over 1,000,000 lbs
are thought by some to be exaggerated.
Demand here is better, but consumers are
careful in anticipating their wants. A large
quantity of Anaconda copper has been
placed to wire makers, and New England
manufacturers, it is understood, have book-
ed large orders for the manufactured wire,
deliveries mentioned running through the
year.
Large quantities of sulphate of copper
are being shipped to Europe, and London
cables that 700 tons of Chili copper have
been taken to manufacture sulphate. It is
stated that English dealers have been heavy
“short” sellers of sulphate and are now
caught. The amount of such sales are said
to reach 2000 tons.
London mail advices bring out the quan-
tity of G. M. Bs in stock is not sufficient to
maintain spot and forward' metal at proper
relative values. Recent sales of G. M. B.
have been made with sellers' option to de-
months' futures was sold at 20s per ton on
Jan. 25.
There was imported into the United King-
dom in 1896 copper, pyrites amounting to
589,046 tons, which on the basis of 294 per
c. of pure copper would yield 13,253 tons.
It is estimated that Germany furnished
17,000 tons of copper in 1896.
Shipments of Australian copper to Eu-
rope were 10,200 tons and from Chili 23,-
600 tons during past year. The surplus of
Japan copper shipped to Europe in 1896
was 4500 tons.
BUSINE38 situation.
In speaking of the general business situa-
tion the Boston News Bureau says:
Sentiment Stronger, But Business Still
Waiting.
Boston–The business situation is still a
waiting one, and therefore it is far from
satisfactory. People generally, however,
are more confident as to the future than
they have been for the past few years. This
faet naturally improves the underlying sen-
timent aud the situation is consequently
improved to the extent that an improved
sentiment can give.
The business world is looking forward to
the extra session of Congress, which report
says will be convened the middle of March.
Congress can do much to stimulate con-
fidence in showing by its acts that it has the
business interests of the country at heart.
It would seem as if the opportunities for
an expansion of trade could not be better,
Confidence in the treasury position has been
re-established ; money is in phenomenal
supply the world over ; stocks are light;
weak spots have been eliminated and prices
are low.
Opinions differ as to when the anticipated
business revival will occur. In some lines a
fair trade is already reported, but the slack
demand for money is proof positive that in a
broad sense the distribution of unerchandise
is still on a small scale.
Tamarack.
The work of repairing No. 3 shaft is
now underway. The eastern compartment
of the shaft from the 9th to 8th level, was
found to be pretty badly damaged and
-ºoºº the Sth to 7th level this end of the
shaft was also damaged to some extent, the
other two compartments received but little
injury, and where it was damaged most
it will not be necessary to put in all new
timbers. It is now estimated that it will
take about two weeks to complete the
repairs. The water which accumulated in
the mine is being hoisted through No. 4
shaft.
Centennial.
The unwatering of No. 6 shaft is mov-
ing along nicely, it now being pumped out
about down to the 4th level. As soon as
it is unwatered to the 5th level the work
of mining will be started.
Arnold,
Superintendent Wesley Clark, informs
us that he is getting ready to unwater the
mine, and expects to have the pumps start-
ed by next Monday. There is about 465
feet of water in the mine and as soon as
this is out they will start sinking the shaft
and extending the levels.

Copper Circular.
New Yoak, February 3, 1897.
As to the general trade of the country
during January, it has undoubtedly ruled
quiet and within restricted bounds. "Never-
theless, the prevailing sentiment and under-
lying conditions are such as should natural.
ly tend to give assurance of a more satis.
factory and broader field of business
operations generally via the near future.
With the change of administration at
Washington, on the 4th of next month, and
a settlement of the sºain questions under
consideration in º and the prospec-
tive tariff schedule defined and settled and
out of the way, we look for such an ex-
pansion of trade generally that will revital-
1ze every line of business and industry in
the land. Such anticipation, we think, may
be considered very reasonable, both for the
mercantile and commercial interests of the
country at large, and also for the rank and
file of manual operators as well. So that
when the opportune moment arrives the
time will be to doff the coat and roll up the
sleeves, and with ready and willing hands
make the best of the opportunities, and go
in for a long pull, and a strong pull, and a
pull all together.
The banks and banking interests here and
elsewhere are in primº condition. With the
financial institutions ºverflowing with large
surpluses, and the treasury of the nation
with such a plethoric gold reserve in store
as is in its vaults today, the prospect is not
without the elements of encouragement.
These and other consºations certainly go
a very great way to i such a resuscita-
tion of trade and bus

We are optimisti enough to hold the
opinion that '97 will yºu mark an epoch of
prosperous business throughout the country.
Copper-With the wommencement of the
year improved conditions and better prices
have been the noticeable features in the
copper market. The month of January
opened firm at 11%g 11% for Lake, and
receiving the stimulus of new inquiries and
increased demand, coupled with a decidedly
favorable outlook, the market gradually de.
veloped additional strength and tone which
soon caused prices to advance.
During the past month a very large busi-
ness has been done in Lake and electrolytic,
and consumers have shown great interest in
the market. The Calumet & Hecla have
sold freely at different stages of the market,
at prices varying from 11% (d.11% consecu-
tively. Although these transactions have
not been in the nature of a “pool” sale, the
amount disposed of by this company will
aggregate about 10,000,000 pounds. In ad-
dution thereto the Calumet & Hecla has also
fold largely for expºrt to the continent.
Other prominent interests have booked large
orders for both domestic and export ac.
count.
The course of the market has fully justi-
fied our conviction stated in our last circular
that copper would sell at 12 cents before
the present issue. Sales have been made
repeatedly at 12 cents the past month by
different producers, and the quantity placed
at these figures has been considerable. That
the market rests on a substantial founda-
tion is indisputable, and we incline to the
belief that the price of copper is likely to
reach a higher level still. Large orders
have been placed with manufacturers for
copper wire for electrical purposes, against
which heavy purchases of copper have been
made. The season for activity in electrical
improvements is close at hand, and new
work in connection with trolley roads, tele.
phone lines and electric lighting is going to
create a decided demand for copper to fur-
nish the wire necessary to comfplete these
projected schemes throughout this country
and Europe. Aſ
genöſally are just
opper than hree Calumet & Hecla
could supply, even at the maximum
otion reached last year. Gunsump-
f copper in Eugland and France for
the year 1896, compared with 1895, is esti-
mated as follows, in pounds fine:
Consumption. 1896. 1895. Increase,
England.º.º.º. ºº ºl.24,000
France....... 90,321,280 68,520,160 21,701,120
Total......... 289,103,520, 207,278,400 $1,825,120
American shipments of copper to Eng-
land and France have been less than one-
half the total exports to Europe from this
conntry in 1896, so that more than 50 per
cent. of the export demand was from other
European countries. The continuous for-
eign movement has been of such magnitude
as to absorb the bulk of the output from the
copper mines of this country as soon as
ready for shipment. Consequently, al-
though production for 1896 was the largest
on record, there has not only been a diminu-
tion of stocks here, but also a simultaneous
reduction of stocks in Europe, thereby
showing the remarkable power of European
absorption. With the dpening of 1897 this
encroachment on foreign stocks is still
necessary to supplement arrivals. After a
year of unparalleled activity in copper min-
ing there has been a large shrinkage in the
world's supply of º

That clairvoyant at Hancock who recently
came down from Calumet, should be given
a wide berth. He not only looks a fake
but certainly is one. He neither
reads not writes, and obeats all
the board bills he possibly can by all man-
ner of tricks. When a sucker calls and is
led on to pay a number of cart wheels, his
hired assistant, who has to wheel him around
in his chair, he being unable to walk, writes
in a scrawly way that His Honor (Prof.
Kennedy) will reſund the money if every-
thing is not satisfactory, but in cases where
tried the sly little fellow says he hasn't the
money just then and of course, one can
keep a calling and he exousing to this sim:
ple form of collecting, if that is all the suokº
er does. The “clairvoyant” appears to know
people do not care to thus advertise
themselves. He fools the poor as well as
the rich, and one ſcreigner at Caluunet paid
him $25 to know where be could find his
lost unouths' wages. When he does find (?)
a loat article or some money it is done by
previous arrangement to encoil the unwury
one. A reporter walled to find out his meth-
ods, if possible, and he was told informa.
tion worth $75 inside of a mouth would be
his for just $10, besides “learning” there
would be a death in his family ere inau:
months had rolled into oblivion. It was
stated it wºuld be his mother, but unfor-
tunately she has neen dead several years. Of
course, the reporter was to hold some re
an era tº ean - a p-ºf ºther
things. After all these tempting moreels
the reporter was too poor to invest. The
little he has must buy the pig and someone
else who has more wealth and less brains
can take the bag. We can stand considera-
be more of both, or we would be willing to
part with some brains for some of the other
tellow's money. Anyway, we give advice
gratis and Kennedy charges considerable
for this. We say talk, but what he says is
in jerks and jars. It is evidently a paying
business if the many papers he showed us
are genuine. Some called for as much as
$100, and the names of those persons, we
saw, Puck says, “What fools some mortals
be.” How well it strikes some of the “Pro
fessor’s” patrons. Well, if you want to eink
some capital in some windy talk, consult
this miserable specimen. He is yours for
the purchasing.
Mr. Ward L. Smith, of Frederickstown,
Mo., was troubled with chronic diarrhoea
ior over thirty years. He had become fully
satisfied that it was only a question of a
short time until he would have to give up.
He had been treated by some of the best
physicians in Europe and America but got
no permanent relief. One day he picked up
a newspaper and chanced to read an adver-
tisement of Chamberlain's Coie, Cholera
and Diarrhoea Remedy. He got a bottle of
it, the first dose helped him and its continued
use cured him. For sale by F. W. Kroll,

Probably no event in the history of the

and in this the ladies assisted. Prof.
Laugier's orchestra rendered music of a
high order. The supper, in charge of Mr.
George Bennetts, of the Oriental House,
was the most appetizing it has been our

Peninsula Electric Light and
Power Co. Held its Annual
Meeting.
The annual meeting ºf the Peninsula
Electric Light and Power Company was held
Tuesday. The old board of directors
was re-elected as follows: Jay A. Hubbel,
Edward Ryan, J. H. Seager, S. B. Harris,
John Duncan, C. A. Wright and J. R. Coop-
er. At a meeting of the director the follow-
ing officers were º J. A. Hubbel,
Pres. ; Edward Ryan, W. Dee,
Secy.
In a talk with Mr. Dee, the General Man-
ager of the company, we learnt the follow-
ing facts:
Mr. Dee said: The original rates were
as follows: Arc laups outside $1400 per
month, inside, Stores $10 Saloons. 51200
per month, Incandescent 16 C. P. per
month, Stores 830 to 9 p. m. $1.25 per
month, Saloons 11 to 12 p.m. ;150, all night
$2.00 per month. Meter rates 20 cents per
watt hours.
About three years ago all street lights
were reduced to $10 per lamp per month.
Last May they were º to $900 per
res., T. S.
unonth, making them about $850 atter de-
ducting for outages. Inside arcs were re-
duced to $9.00, 16 C. P. incandescent for
stores were reduced from $1.25 to $1.12%,
Saloons reduced from $1,50 to $135.
Commencing with March 1st, 1897, less
than a year suice the last reduction of 10
per cent., the meter rates will be reduced
trom 18 to 16 cents per 11,000 watt hours,
about 11 per cent or 2) pºr cent, since May
1st, 1896. -
ine store or nine º'clock rate will
be reduced from 1.12% tº 80 cents, 11 to 12
o'clock or Saloon rate will be reduced from
$1.35 to $1.00. The all-night rate from $2.00
to $1.50, inside arc lamps from $900 to $800,
outside arcs from $º to $8.50, which
means about $8.00 er deductions are
made for outages. Tº ºustomers to pay

The wiring of buildinºs will be done at
the actual cost of material and labor. We
have been able to make the above reduc-
tions in our rates from time to time on ac-
count of the improvements inade from year
to year in electrical and other applian-
ces and rapid increase of business. A year
ago last December our directors, decided to
recommend a reduction on allºrates of 10
per cent... at last February's annual meeting
to take effect May 18tº
In the aggregate, the reduction made at
our meeting today foots up considerable, and
if the improved machinery, which we ex-
pect to put in the Houghton plant gives us
as good results as the machinery recently
installed at our Lake Linden station, and
our business increases º we hope
to make further reductiºns and prepare to
meet competition of any kind. We are in
business to stay and intend to treat our
customers fairly, and all we ask is a reason-
able return on the actual capital invested.
“To live and let live” is the policy of the
company, and nothing more is expected.

developing of our natural resources the
taxable valuation of this county is only
raised twenty to twenty-five million and the
receipts from taxes raised would more than
support a mining school. As previously
mentioned the Huron, Isle Royal, and
Grand Portage mines just south of Hough-
ton were at one time worked, only the
richest of the rock, however, was stamped
and we are informed by experts that today
there are quantities of rock in the burrow
piles of the Grand Portage and Isle Royal
mines which will well pay to mill, and here.
is just where science will largely come in
and make valuable what was considered
worthless.
The Michigan Mining School was opened
for the reception of students in September,
1886, not however in the substantial build-
ing now occupied, the first work being
carried on in Firemen's Hall and later in
the Armory:Opera House. The first build-
ing which is known as
Sciºndº HALL
being completed and ready for occupancy
in May, 1889, it being built of the famous
Lake Superior sand-stone, the quarries
from which the stone was taken are about
fifteen miles from Houghton, extending
back as they do from the shores of Kewee-
Law ºys ºne size of the building is
109 feet by 53 feet with wing attached
37x25 feet, being three stories in height
with tower. The basement contains a
student's room 16x33 feet, gymnasium
31x42 feet, store room 14x19 feet, car-
penter shop 31x42 feet, assaying labora-
tory 32x41 feet, weighing room 18x16 feet,
and lavatory 8x11 feet.

feet, chemical lecture room. 24x36 feet,
spectroscope room 6x16 feet, cheinical
supply room 15x16 feet and a second
chemical supply room 11x13 feet. The
tower contains a professor's room 15x26
feet and a photographic laboratory 15x19
feet. It will thus be seen that every foot
of space has been utilized and in the most
convenient manner. Just east of Science
Hall stands
- Engineering HALL
which owing to the growth of the school
and the demand for it was erected in 1898.
1894, Engineering Hall is built of brick
and is most excellently adapted for the
purpose for which it was erected. The
basement contains a machine shop 97x24
feet, tool room 5x17 feet, electrical instru-
ment room 34x17 feet, dynamo room 34x27
feet, lavatory 28x10 feet and a photometer
room 8x14 feet.

ing Hall has an annex which contains a fuel
room 16x34 feet and boiler room 29x34 feet,
containing three boilers, both buildings
being heated from this plant, which also
supplies the power for machine shop,
stamp mill, etc. There is also on the
ground a frame stamp mill 81x30 feet,
furnace building 28×28 feet, oil house
22x20 feet and a storage house 46x25 feet.

with any school or college is its faculty.
While a school may be richly endowed, may
have the best location possible and the best
of controling influences, yet with an in-
efficient faculty it will amount to little if
anything. In this respect the Michigan
Mining School is particularly fortunate, as
from the position of President down to that
of instructor each department is filled by a
man, notably efficient in his particular line
of work.
MARSHMAN E. Wadswoma,
The President of the institution, was born
in East Livermore, Me, May 6th, 1847,
being descended direetly from the old line
of Puritanical stock which has made its
mark wherever it has gone out into the
world to fight life's battles. His early life
was passed upon his father's farm. Enter-
ing Bowdoin College in 1865 and graduat-
ing in 1869, with honor. Up to the time of
his being elected “Director” of the Michi-
gan Mining School all of his time was spent
in scientific researches, Coming to the
school, as wenight sayin its early infancy, he
has had the satisfaction of seeing it grow to
a very healthy child, largely owing to his
indefatiguable energy and perseverance.
He has ſabbred for its welfare day and night
| and can look with pride on his achievements.

is if it is given the same fostering care that

with strict economy b, …h ends have been
made to meet and while the equipment is
not all that might be desired, with unlimited
funds at commandyet such care has been
taken in the purchase of what there is that
in this respect the school can be said to be
in a superb condition and with the necessary
appropriations for th” department in the
future the school be kept up to that
state of efficiency e it will be excelled
by none. But we stated out in this para-
graph to say what is hoped for the school
in the future. With the necessary appro-
priations from the state which is always
generous to educational institutions, it's
money in pocket to be so, it is not only
hoped but intended to keep the Michigan
Mining School in the very front rank of
technical schools and we believe with its de-
sirable location and the most excellent way
in which it is managed it will be an easy
thing to do. Schools where mining and
kindred subjects are taught must of a
necessity have a more limited number of
students than a university, but with this
idea in view, we believe that the Michigan
Mining School will have no peer among
schools of its class in numbers, reputation
or extent of territory over which it is known
or in which its graduates find lucrative em-
ployment. -

of M. E. and later received the degree of A.
M. from Georgetown Callege. After serving
some time as engineer for private corpora-
tions he accepted a position as instructor in
Mechanical Engineering at the University
of Pennsylvania, and in September of 1890
entered upon his duties as Professor of
Mechanical and Electrical Engineering at
the Michigan Mining School, a position for
which he is most eminently adapted and
one which he fills with credit to himself
and with benefit tº the school. Professor

roor BALL TEAM:-
Fºotball at the Michigan Mining School
has had little chance of development, due to
whº position of the Qol, the lack ºf in-
ºes in the game an 6 ºn Ortness of the
* me in which to practice. Sundry attempts
nave been made in the last six years to get
up a team and until the fall of 1895 these
were all futile. This was not sº much be:
cause there was not the material that goes.
to make up a foot ball team as for the rea:
sons mentioned above. With the entrance
of the class of ninety-eight came a large
amount of football enthusiasm which car-
ried things with it to such an extent that a
team was gotten together which practiced,
a thing never before known here. Fortu
nately there were several teams near enough
to play with and the fall of '95 saw the first
º,” games that the M. M. S. has ever
played. -
The team started on its career at Ishpem-
ing. There they won their first game with
a score of eight to nothing-
Then followed two games in Houghton on
its own grounds with the Negaunees and
Marquettes. Between the time of the game
in Isnpeming and the games in Houghton
the team had a chance to practice and con-
sequently got in better trim. With a result
that they defeated Negaunee with a score of
twenty to nothing and followed that by be:
ing again victors in a game with Marquette,
beating them twenty-two to nothing.
This created much enthusiasm in the
some-time players in the vicinity of Portage
Lake and on Thanksgiving Day the teams
of Portage Lake and the Mining School met
at the M. M. S. park. There was a large
amount of interest shown in the game by
the residents of Houghton and . Hancock,
The two teams were well matched in weight
but with the school team having had slight:
ly more practice, the game itself was the
best exhibition of foot ball that had ever
been given in the copper country and result:
ed in another victory for the Mining School
by sixteen to nothing. -
This ended the season's games with the
Mining School undefeated and a record of
four games without being stored against.
The fall of ninety-six opened with the foot
ball spirit higher than ever before and the
T. Greenº. The Association, basº atºniº
good and the interest general throughout
the school and not confined to freshmen
as heretofore. The first game, of what was
expected to be a series, was with Ishpeming
in which the school team showed lack of
practice and training as it was very early in
the season. The game was sharply con-
tested by Ishpeming which managed to
score on the M. M. S. team by a trick play
and a long run from their twenty-five yard
line, that was the only time the ball was in
the Mining School territory. They gained
a touch down but failed to convert and the
game went to the Mining School with a
score of ten to four. From that time on, all
efforts of the management to arrange for
games were without result. None could be
arranged and the team had to rest content
with but one victory for 1896.
A second eleven was started and it too
could get but one game, that with Calumet
which the second team won, with a score of
six to nothing. -
Next year we hope to get games with the
colleges and schools in the upper part of
Wisconsin. If the plaus materialize we
shall give the copper country a chance to
see some good games of football played by
teams that understand the game and are in
a proper state of training. With the material.
in the school now and the probability of
some more good unen next year the Mining
School will put a team in the field that will
compare very favorably with any school of
its size in the country. The team will be
composed of men and not school boys and
maintain a good standing with any team it
will be likely to meet. We want gathes,
want them badly and hope some teams will
appear next year ready to dispute the right
of our title of Champions of the Upper
Peninsula, -

In the above write up we have endeavored
to give our readers as much information
regarding the Michigan Mining school as
sould be crowded into anºeuer article.
Many ºgs Rºdeº ºn ºn
over sight on our part and many through
lack of space. That it has and is doing
good work cannot be denied. That it is be-
forge among many great institutions is an
accomplished fact. Like all new schools it
has had to struggle for existence but we
believe its struggles are over and it has, if
given the necessary support, clear sailing
before it. A word more regarding its loca-
alon and we have finished. Houghton is .
situated in a high latitude, the climate is
agreeable and such is the dryness of the at-
mosphere that the cold is not felt as much
as in more southern situations, where une
air is damper, and the town is considered
one of the inost healthy in the state. The
water supply is taken from springs on the
nillside above, being collected in large con-
crete tanks coming to the village by gravity,
The village itself being located ou ºne null-
side which makes a gradual ascent from the
lake, has a natural drainage, and tual sup-
plied by the city through its drainage sys-
tem is of the best. The summers are per
tect, for while there is Bone not weather the
nights are always cool and refreshing, mak-
ing it much easier for a man to turn off a
large amount of work than in less favored
localities, and regarding this subject of
work I migh, say that much is expected and
much is accomplished. The man who
enters the Michigan Mining school think
ing he has a snap will find himself most
terribly mistaken, it being no place for
drones, and as the school is becoming better
known and appreciated the class of young
men seeking admittance is constantly un-
provisg, for it has gone out that if a young-
unan dues not mean business and enters for
the sole purpose of obtaining an education,
and obtaining it as rapidly as possible, it is
a mighty good place to stay away from
The two cities of Hancock and Houghton
combined, contain almost all of the im-
portant evangelical Booieties and the society
of the two towns is of the best and is always
willing to welcome within its midst young
men of the right callorø. To those un-
acquainted with the facts in the case, the
uumber of instructors may possibly seem
arºº, but when the quºuwu is uuuutsuuud.
wase, lº is easuy unuerstood that in the
lecture room one man can handle a large
class with almost as much ease as a staall-
one, but when it connes to the actual demon-
stration of a subject it is impossible to
nandle a large nuºuber of men ; as an ex-
ample the working of some particular ma-
chine is to be demonstrated, a small number
of men can gather in its immediate vicinity
and by personal observation learn exactly
what it is desired they should learn, while
to a large class this would be practically im-
possible. For this reason a large number
of instructors are employed and the efficient
work done at the school shows the efficiency
of the method employed. We have been
eurious to look up the matter of taxes a
little as regarding the amount of state tax
paid by the Upper Peninsula and also by
Houghton County, and have no doubt our
readers as well as ourselves will be astonished
at the figures. From 1838 to 1896 the
Upper Peninsula paid into the state treasury
in the way of state taxes, $2,004,606.72.
Last year, 1896, $208,613.37 was paid from
she same source, and in addition to this
amount from 1852 to 1891 the Upper Pen-
insula paid in the way of specific taxes
$993,807.27. In 1896 Houghton County
alone paid into the state treasury, state
taxes amounting to $79,551.98, while up to
1896 Houghton County had paid in the way
of state taxes the sum of $483,545.20.
Stark Gºorogical Survey As it RELATEs
to THE MINING Sºhodu.
The State Geological Survey was for a
time under the management of Dr. Wads-
worth, but the two institutiºns were under
separate Boards, and with the rapid growth
and expansion of the Mining School, and
the rapid growth of the Survey collections
under Dr. Wadsworth's administration it
was evident that the School, as it then was,
would soon have hardly accommodations for
the Survey, and would moreover find profit-
able occupation for all Dr. Wadsworth's
time. Dr. Hubbard, who had already been
Dr. Wadsworth's assistant, was therefore
| appointed as State Geologist, and with the
assistance of subscriptions from broad-
minded and public spirated citizens of
Houghton, a meat building tº the left of
she accommodation of the Survey. Though
the strictest economy had been practiced,
the whole building ousting but ººzºo, the
building is well adapted for its uses. In
the rear is a fire proof vault in which valua-
ble records and maps are stored. Such
records of explorations and mine maps, etc.,
the Survey is anxious to preserve from des-
truction, when operations are discontinued,
and will hold on deposit for the owners.
The nearness of the Survey to the Mining
School is of advantage in many ways.
Thence it can draw a supply of skilled help-
ers from among the advanced students and
instructors, while on the other hand they
have opportunities thus given for more ex-
tended practical experience. The Mining
School library is of much use to the Survey,
and the collections of the Survey are open
to the students and to any visitor, who has
legitimate use for them. Enquirers as to
the natural resources of the state are sure of
a cordial welcome there, for beside issuing
its regular reports (Vol. V, was issued in
1895, and Vol. VI, largely dealing with cop.
per bearing rocks is in the hands of the
printer) the Survey has numerous letters of
enquiry and consultation from all over the
state, concerning water-supply, marls, plas-
ter, etc. as well as the regular ones—in all
cases where a knowledge of the geological
structure is of value.
The Michigan Mining School is an insti-
tution of which more should be known. It
is one that more shorld be particularly
known of in the lower part of this great
state for it is one that to know is to be proud
of, and in closing will merely add that if I
am the means of making outsiders better
acquainted with the great worth of the school
shall feel in some measure repaid for the
labor expended in placing the matter before

previous to ninety-six. The practices were
