The L'Anse Sentinel
Saturday, August 3, 1895

              
              The following dispatch, dated Champion, is taken
            from the Detroit Journal:
              "Definite orders have been received from eastern
            offices to close down the Champion mine, the 250
            employes being on a strike. The Champion produces
            hard ore, which must be crushed before smelting.
            The mine was idle from the spring of 1892 until the
            beginning of this  year. Employes were earning very
            low wages, but the mine was making little or no
            money. SUPT. WALTER FITCH was notified to leave
            town under penalty of death. On reading the notices
            he sallied forth and demolished them with a sharp
            knife and cut their banner down as well. He has not
            left yet.
