GOV. CAMPnELL's NINE
Inspected by the Visiting Party
A Little Political Talk.

Special to the Globe.
DULUTH, Mimi. Feb. 29.-EX-GOv.
Campbell, of Ohio, and party arrived
here Sunday morning early, and were
met at the train by few Duluth peo-
pie who were interested in the Ohio
Mining company, of which the distin-
gulshed visitor is president. They at
once boarded a Duluth 81 Iron Range
special and started for the great MeSaba
iron country. There were also three
newspaper men in the party, including
a GLOBE correspondent. The entire
party consisted of the following: Gov.
James e. Campbell, E. D. Sawyer, OF
Cleveland; G. E. hester, II. E. Becker
and Frank Barret, of Lancaster o.; G.
E. Haughawaut, of Lansing, Mich;
John Paulsen. of Minneapolis; Thomas
Bardon. of Ashland: Dr.. Fred Barrett
and George S. West, of Tower; Hon. O,
ID. Kinney, of Ely; I. I'll. Pressneli, NJ.
A. Hays and Adam Bede, of Duluth.
Arriving at Mesaba station at 10
O'Clock, the party proceeded at once in
bob sleghs in westerly direction, in.
spectipg the mines as they went along.
1.-The first property reached was the
Hale, new company, whose stock is
not yet on the market. Iron in great
plenty was found. Then came the Gin
cinnati, one of the finest pieces of prop
ertv on the range. Then came the BIZ
wabic. which is in All advanced state OF
development. AS soon as the MeSaba
road is built this company will begin to
ship ore. At the Biwabic mine we
stopped for dinner, and a grand
one it was. Gov. Campbell said
the pumpkin pie was the finest
he ever ate. He was the life of the
party and proved beyond doubt thathe
possesses to high degree the magnet
ism which makes friends and incident
ally votes. After dinner the horses
were harnesSed again, and on we flew
to the west, and at 6 O'Clock arrived at
section 10, 5S-17, a part of the
Ohio property where six shafts have al
ready been sunk. The drive from BIZ
wabic to this property, a distance OF at
least fifteen miles, is one of the drear-
lest and most tiresome one could well
imagine. Seven miles of the trip had to
be made over newly made road
and at a walk. The weather was
cold and the party suffered greatly
from the cold. But the boys were we'll
repaid for their eXertions, for the ore
on that section proved to be very rich
and in plentiful amounts. Some OF 1t
was only six feet below the surface. 1t
is rich red hematite of the BeSSemer
grade. Every shaft showed ore, and
was bottomed in ore. The trip back
was also at snail's pace, and the party
did not reach Mesaba station until
o'clock this morning, all tired out after
their cold drive. But the governor and
his friends were "game to the last"
never uttering word of complaint.
Arriving at Duluth at Z o'clock, after an
absence of just twenty-four hours, Mr..
Campbell retired to his bed. In the
afternoon the Ohio company held a
meeting, after which Mr.. Campbell
held sort of informal reception
and shook hands with large number
of prominent Duluth citizens. He left
this evening for st. Paul, but will re-
turn in about two weeks TO complete
the organization of the company. 1t
has been decided to put limited
amount of stock on the market and pro-
coed at once to make more extensive
developments. Although this was a
business trip the governor consented to
talk little about politics. He
said that never in his life has
he ever seen so much enthu-
siaSm as was shown at Ann ArbOr
and Detroit on the occasion of Cleve-
lands visit. He said that Cleveland is
either going TO be nominated or his
friends will dictate the nomination.
Speaking of John Sherman, he said he
considered him the greatest man i'll the
Republican party and the shrewdest
politician in the United States. Re-
ferring briefly to the recent Ohio cam
paign, he said that the Democratic ma
tionaI committee would not even spend
two cents tor letter to find out how
they were getting along, while the Re-
publicans spent all their money in Ohio.
'.But we drove all the tin out of the
state" he added with smile.
