The New York Press says: "There is
a very animated discussion going on in
Minnesota over the question whether flax
and hemp fibre can be raised in that re-
gion. Mr.. Charles n. Bell, member of
the Minnesota legislature. who has intro
duced bill to give bounty of two cents
per pound to encourage the manufacture
of binding Irvine and the raising of flax
and hemp. is so confident of the future of
the textile fabric business in Minnesota
that in December last he sent bale of
ll2 pounds of fibre, prepared by Mr..
BoSse of st. Paul Park, to a large linen
mill in Belfast, Ireland. His faith has
been confirmed by receipt of a letter
from the manufacturers saying that the
production of fibre for shipment to Ire
land should be undertaken on a large
scale in Minnesota. The ll2 pounds of
fibre sent was dressed down to 81 pounds.
and thus prepared had a value of fG5
English money, or 1925 per ton. The
linen products of this lot of fibre will be
forwarded to st. Paul as soon as posi-
bIe." The Mr.. Bell mentioned by the
Press is Middlebury boy. whom many

the college in the class of lSGS.

An Alleged Controversy Between the EN-

An Alleged Controversy Between the Eng
lish Owners and the De Lamar.
The correspondent of the Spokane Spokes-
Phillips. one of the proprietors of the Phil
lips d Sullivan mine, in the same section
a. the Do Lamar. as saying that at the pres
emit time there is more controversy or trou-
bls between the English owners who re-
gently bought into the mine and Mr.. De
Lamar, who still owns tho largest interest.
From all accounts it seems that the minor
lty ~EtockOwnerS want to run matters con-
nected with the mine to suit themselves,
while MIR. De Lamar, who retained a con-
trolling interest for the express purpose of
managing the affairs on those principles
that have been demonstrated to be success
full in the past, insists on taking this re-
sponsibility entirely on himself. 1t is
rumored that the London owners have en-
ployed an attorney to look after their in
terest. while Mr.. De Lamar has resigned
his position as Worlds fair commissioner
for Idaho to look after his mines in per-
son. All this. however, docs not interfere
with the working of the mine nor with the
valuable improvements now being made
there. The mine works about 100 men. The
new 100-stamp mill will be in operation by
the first OF the year, and the yield of the
mine is enormous.
As toa Their mines in the vicinity, Mr..
Sullivan says there nave been some very
rich and important developments in the
Poorman mine during the past few days,
but the owners seem reluctant, to give the
facts to the public. Mr.. Phillips said that
it was altogether probable that they had
struck a rich parallel vein unexpectedly.

workings and will prove OF inestlmabls
