   JOHN F. ROBERT, clerk of the Central Mining Company
 since October, 1875, was born in the State of New York July 15,
 1848.  He attended the Oak Hill Military School, of Yonkers, and
 received a thorough education, and for several years was cashier of
 a mercantile house.  In 1871, he went to sea as captain's secretary,
 on the United States ship of war, Narragansett; made the Pacific
 cruise, and returned to New York.  He then spent one and a half
 years as book-keeper in a bank, and in 1875 came to Lake Superior
 to accept the position he now holds.  The company is to be con-
 gratulated on possessing one of the most competent, diligent and
 courteous clerks in this region.
