The Whippoorwill mine, which has

discovered on Carpenter creek
says the Neihart Miner. The
property at present comprises two
claims, the Whippoorwill and Uncle
George. In years past it has produced
considerable quantities Of excellent sill
yer. lead and copper ores. But owing to
the usual difficulties attending mining in
new and isolated mining districts, Ii was
not developed very extensively. Suili,
cirnt work was done on it, however, to
demonstrate the probability of lis be

troubles have at last been settled.
The mining company, which pro-
posed that most laborers should
compete with the state convicts, by
placing them in the mines as work
men, have concluded that the thing
wont work. After having gone
through a seige OF riot and blood
shed the company have come to a
realizing sense Of the situation and
the mines will be operated by free
white miners on the cooperative
plan. The stock, which has been
doubled, will be taken by miners,
at Briceville, and labor leaders in
different towns of the state. This
scheme seems to be satisfactory to all
concerned and will be put into oper-
alton at once.

The Pride of ERR i.

Ireland has one pride, the glory of
which never fades. Parnell died with
his fair fame beclouded. O'Connell
is now but a memory. Emmett's
time will not fully come until his
epitaph is written. The true pride
of the little green isle and her hardy
sons is one whose memory is always
fresh, whose works are not forgotten,
whose name is revered, who waits
not for Ireland's climat-St. Pat
rick. The loving, reverend father
who showed them LIES better way;
the bishop who reared universities
in Ulster and Munster; the saint
whose glory is Ireland's-St. Pat
rick. Everywhere Irishmen com
memorate his birth and his career.
Everywhere, too, one hears the
praises OF the Saint Paul & Duluth
Railroad, more popularity known as
"The Duluth Short Line" which is
regarded by the travelling public as
the most eligible route between st.
Paul and Minneapolis and Duluth,
West Superior, Taylors Falls and
Saltwater. Close connections made
by fast trains running at handy
hours between the finest terminals.
Information cheerfully furnished by
all ticket agents or may be had upon
application to Geo. w. Bull, General
Passenger Agent, or Geo. G. Gilfillan,
Asst. G. P. A., st. Paul, Mimi.

tn o Wheat Investigation.

The legislative committee to inves-
tigate the wheat steals from the Du-
luth and other elevators, resumed it's
work last week. The additional tes-
timony as to the elevator matters
was not so very important, but
there was some extremely important
matter that was brought up. The
fact was, that when they struck the
GREAT WEST lead they struck ore!
Our readers will remember a letter
We published months ago, Shelby
Traffic Manager OF the Great North
ern Railway, debating the price for
wheat to be paid by the Nelson Union
Store Co.
That letter will form one of the
elements of the prosecution of the
grain ring, for which purpose the
fund is now being raised. 1t was
taken hold of by the committee, and
formed an exceedingly interesting
discussion. A witness named Somers
declared that he wrote the letter.
WITHOUT AUTHORITY
from his superior, as a clerk. He al.
so stated that he was ''called down"
for writing it by Shelby himself. And
thus they seek to shirk responsibility
by a barefaced sneak on the facts.
All right, Mr.. Somers- ust you keep
right in with that gait, and swear
yourself into trouble. But the G. w.
has some other letters with the Traf-
fic Managers 81 6. thereunto, which
perhaps you did not write-and per-
haps were not "called down" for
writing
Another important matter was a
contract to pay an independent
wheat buyer OF Larimore, N. D., an
immense salary annually if he would
keep out OF the business. This also
was one OF the GREAT WEST docu-
ments OF last year. But the commit
tee would not let the matter come
under examination for two reasons:
one was that the matter was out
side OF Minnesota; the other, that the
said contract will be found in the G
w. among the astounding docu-
ments published one year ago-and
although the original discovery of
the matter was not due to any
energy upon our part, we found the
document east, out of the state, and
brought it in and published the
= same.
We are very glad indeed to be of
use, thus, to the committee. Our
fault with the examination, thus far,
is that it has been in the hands of
men connected with a so-called
grain growers association who are
either incompetent to dig out facts,
or are themselves hedged about with
damaging facts-like that connection
of Canning and Brandborg with the
combine"
As soon as the committee struck
anything peculiarly promising as to
results, it voted not to permit the
testimony to proceed-and hence the
whole thing is but little better than
8 farce. We do not now, and we
