BRADFIELD, M.D., physician and surgeon to the Congomerate Mining Company, has been connected with this mine for the past fourteen years. He was born in Cass County, Ind., January 12, 1843; he received his literary education at the local high schools at home. He then took a two years' medical course at the State University of Michigan, and a course of lectures at the Detroit Medical Hospital, from whence he graduated on June 1, 1869. He was then appointed physician and surgeon to the Copper Falls Mine, Lake Superior, and began the practice of his profession at that place on the 16th of June of that year. In 1871, there being some work carried on at the Delaware location, he became the physician to this mine also. In fact, during several years his practice extended over the entire upper section of Keweenaw Point. The large increase of force at the Delaware, now called the Conglomerate, under Capt. A. P. THOMAS' management, has given him an exclusive practice. ==========================================================================
