The party numbered 23 men, including six axemen and six packers and was under the charge of Mr. J. H. Geroken.

Wednesday Mr. David McCormick and Mr. Bush, two of the engineers who have been awaiting orders here, started out. Mr. McCormick going to Ashland, while Mr. Bush will probably go clear through to Duluth. Three parties are now at work in the Gogebic region, two, including that starting today near Three Lakes and two on the Sault branch, making seven in all, while one or more will be started out from this place in a few weeks. BH and CO. are certainly pushers on work which they undertake. With departure or this party all engineers who have been here waiting to be sent out, will have gone.
