   CAPT. JAMES DUNSTAN, agent of the Central Mining Com-
 pany, was born in Cornwall, England, December 5, 1827.  He began
 working in the mines in early life, and followed that business in his
 native country until 1853, when he emigrated to America, coming
 direct to Lake Superior.  He engaged as a miner at the Ohio Trap
 Rock Mine Ontonagon County, and was subsequently  Captain of
 the same mine.  In the spring of 1860, he accepted the agency of
 the Carp Lake Mine, which he surrendered in the fall of the same
 year to accept the position of Captain at the Amygdaloid Mine.  He
 operated the underground work at that mine until June, 1866, when
 he changed to the Central Mine, where he served as Mining Captain
 until January 1, 1879; he was then appointed agent of the mine, and
 is still holding that position.  Under his management the mine is
 being worked successfully.  This mine produced, in 1880, mineral
 to the value of $372,950.20.  For later statistics, see history of
 the mine.
