                                 ALLOUEZ
                                 -------

        Allouez, named after the missionary priest of that name, is now a
     thriving mining town, having new life infused into it by the opera-
     tions of the Allouez Mining Company, who, since the expiration of the
     tribute lease, have taken hold in good earnest to improve and develop
     the property. They employ 310 men on the mine, with an additional
     force of 100 choppers and teamsters.
        A new Methodist Episcopal Church has just been built. There are at
     the mine two wood school buildings and a total of 175 pupils.
        When the mine started, a Miners' Accident Club was organized, to
     which each miner was obliged to contribute 50 cents a month, subject
     to further assessment if required. This, in case of accident, secures
     to each $30 a month during continuance of the disability. Three
     hundred dollars are paid to the heirs in case of the death of a member
     from accident.
