The Pioneer.

Shipments from this mine are going
forward in rapid manner, about
1000 tons day. The new mammoth
Prescott duplex pumps placed at the
seventh and ninth levels are working
satisfactorily and are being run with
steam from one battery of the Stirling
tubular boilers recently put in.
Battery No. 2 will be finished in about
a week, Contractor Lawrence is rush
ing the mason work. The stack on
the second battery will be raised to-
morrow or Friday. The boilers are
working very satisfactorily, barring a
few leakages in the connections. The
mine has shipped 10000 tons. Is men
are employed loading cars at the stock
piles. A new hosting plant has been
ordered by the company, description
of which we will give as soon as the
plant arrives, which will be shortly.

Pine Matters.

A new impetus has been given the
pine interests in this country by the
recent heavy sales to the Knox Lum-
Der company, by J. J. Rupp, of the
firm of Rupp & Kerr, the Saginaw,
Mich, lumbermen. 1t has been
authenticity ascertained that the
firm sold their entire holdings in this
country which are located in 63-1O and
IL to the Knox concern, for an esti-
mated consideration of $3.50 per
thousand. These holdings comprise
lands purchased by Mr.. Rupp two or
three years ago from the Bishop Iron
company and such lands as have been
acquired from the original holders,
homesteaders, timber and stone claim
ants and others. The various groups
in this property are estimated to con-
tain about 100000 feet. The tim
Der is of good size and quality and
will run from IS to 20 per cent white
pine.
This is one of the largest single
deals ever made in northern Mime
sofa, and Rupp & Kerr evidently have
cleaned up some handsome profits, as
the price paid the homesteaders and
other small holders probably did not
average more than $3.50 "a 1000. While
the members of this firm have not
been seen as to their future intentions,
it is probable that they will re-invest
in timber in the northeastern portion
of the state.
The Lumber company purchased
the timber for immediate stock. At
the present rate of saving, the recent
purchase will supply the mill for three
years if not longer. All the lumber is
available for the eastern trade and as
the company have secured satisfac-
tory rate by rail to the Duluth and
Two Harbors docks, a handsome profit
will be realized.
In the Fall lake district, Or in the
immediate vicinity of the Knox mill,
there is standing something like $780,
600, 900 feet, all of which can be taken
to Fall lake center by water. AS
several excellent locations are on the
tributary lakes containing other large
groups of timber, it is not improbable
that in year or two there will be
several other mills in operation there.

Auditor Dunn on the Mesaba.

State Auditor Dunn, was not idle
while on his visit to the Mesaba
range. He wanted to see If there was
any unwarrented cutting Of pine on
state lands leased for mining pur-
poses and found there was. But it
will not go on, for the auditor gave
personal notice while on the range
that it must be stopped. The privilege
of using timber for supports has been
shamefully abused, some of the
lessees having cut the pine where
there could be no shadow of excuse

The Chandler.

About 100 men were given tenn
porary lay off this morning with in
structiOns to again appear for duty at
the close of navigation. This course
was deemed necessary by the manage
ment in order to clear up the stock
piles, some of which are the '93 and
"a product. Shipments from the
Chandler are being rushed as fast as
cars will permit. The steam shovel
will today clean up the new No.
stOckpile, after which it will be re-
moved to old No. 3. The stockpile
just finished contained at the begin
ming of loading, about a menth ago,
103, 900 tons. New No. shaft has
reached a depth of 100 feet and is pro-
crossing at the rate of about 13 feet
per week. The shaft is 16x74 in the
clear, built for two cagO ways. The
raise from the eight to the seventh
level of No. 3, will be put through in
about a week more. The manage
ment of the Chandler have given the
employees of the mine permission to
cut wood from sections rs and 26, 63-12,
providing they take nothing but the
tops of trees and such other wood as
can not be used for sets or timbers.
The Chandler people will not be re-
sponsible for anything taken and wish
it distinctly understood that hard
wood and standing timber is not to
be touched.

Released From Custody.

John Gribbon, who was arrested a
week ago on the charge of furnishing
beer to an Indian was released from
custody Thursday, after having a
hearing. Assistant County Attorney
Taylor was up from Virginia and
prosecuted the case, and Attorney
Westcott defended the prisoner. The
case was tried before Special Judge
Cowling, a change of venue having
been asked and granted. Gribbon
swore the Indian stole the beer from
him and after hearing another wit
ness to that effect, the court gave the
prisoner his liberty.

Good Hunting at Home.

Those of our citizens who contem-
plate going to Dakota this fall,
chicken or duck hunting, had much
better stay at home and hunt in this
vicinity. The new game law of
Dakota compels prospective outside
hunters to take out a S25 license, the
law being made to get back at Mime
sofa for her game law requiring nom
residents to take out a $25 license.
There are not many men in Ely, who
care to pay S25 for the privilege of
shooting a few measly prairie chicken,
especially since the new law fOrbids
the expectation of single chicken
from the state and only dozen
chickens can be killed in a single day.
The Minnesota game law becomes
non-effective after September 1, and
partrides and ducks will catch parti-
cular fits. The hunting in this
northern part of st. Louis county
knocks the spots off anything in the
state. Here is where you see ducks
by the acre, literally covering the rice
fields. Thousands and thousands of
large toothsome mallard, teal, wood
duck and other species are at hand.
Hunters who return from two days
outing with less than hundred
mallards, are considered not much of
marksman. Prairie chicken are
nothing compared with ducks. Those
who desire real sport, coupled with an
outing in d delightful bracing climate
would do well to try this country!

The School House.

The stone foundation work at the
school house has been completed. The
masons are now busy putting in the
stack for the furnace and the
carpenters have begun framing TIM
bers preparatory to beginning the
erection of the building. The lath
and plastering in the old part has
been removed and the building raised
to the required heighth. The rain of
the last few days is retarding the
work somewhat, but not enough to
make much of difference.

worked in Tower two years ago. The
solicitor took the money from the
merchants and then sent the sacks to

of course, to pay for it. The mer>

Since the Leggett & Thornton swindle,
our people will perhaps be a little
more careful who they do cash BUSH
ness with. Nevertheless it will do
no harm to advise them to keep a
sharp lookout. The local merchants
and Others can do all the necessary
advertising in the local paper. That's
what papers are published for aad

better than in one of these fake
mediums. For the benefit of those
who would like to know, we will give
the new ''game" laws as they are and
sheuld be enforced-in Ely especially.
There seems to be no dearth of this
kind of game: Book agents may be
killed from August l to October 1;
spring poets srom March to July;
scandal mOngers from January l to

Disbarred From Practice.

AS the result of his conviction for
subornation of perjury at the last
term of the United States court, the
local land office has decided to disbar
G.. w. Post, the land attorney. Post

Truesdell, to swear falsely regarding
lands which the said TruesdeH was

examined into the reports of the
losses to the state of ore royalties by
reason of so much ore going into the
dump with the strippings. He found
that the state was getting all it was
entitled to. Some of the papers that
have been doing the bowling now say
Dunn does not know the difference
between ore and mud.

Sundays Excursitn.

Sunday morning at $50 the Duluth
& Iron Range train in charge of Con-
ducter G.. Fl. McGreevy, pulled out of
Ely, having on board about 80 excur-
sionists, including the City band,
bound for Virginia. The train left
the depot just as pouring rain set
in. On arrival at Soudan, the Soudan
band and few others got on and at
Tower the list swelled to about 16O.
The two cars were overloaded and
seating room was at premium. The
run to the Mesaba was fraught with
nothing particularly of note, with the
exception that every few minutes a
torrent of rain and hail would descend
At Biwabik and Mckinley, more
people crowded in and when Virginia
was reached the party was pretty well
damned together in the two cars.
On arrival at its destination the train
was met by the Virginia band and
escorted to the city, some going to
the hotels and others seeking friends
and acquaintance with whom to
spend the day. The bands kept up a
continued serenade until the dinner
hour.
At 3 o'clock the ball game between
Tower and Virginia teams was called
by Umpire Nettel, of Soudan. n'the
beginning the Virginia boys had the
best of the game, making two runs in
the first inning and white washing
the Tower boys three times. in sue
cession. The Vermilion boys, how
ever, soon got the lay of the land and
ia the fourth inning scored twos two
in the fifth, six in the seventh and
five in the ninth inning, bringing
their score up to Is. The seventh
inning was surprise to the Mesaba
aggregation, taking away their breath
and almost rendering them unfit for
further duty. They went "all to
pieces" and could not recover them
selves. The Virginias run two tallies
in the first inning, one in the third,
two in the sixth, one in the seventh
and three in the ninth making total
score of 8.
AS is usual, the umpire was the
cause of it all, in the eyes of the Vir-
ginia team. In our estimation, the
umpire did the fair thing and grand
stand crowd as well as the players
themselves were well satisfied, up to
the time the Vermilion boys began to
get ahead, then h was to pay.
The Virginia team are not in it
with the team that faced them Sun
day, notwithstand the fact they sent
to Duluth for pitcher and paid him
good money to win the game. The
Vermilion boys who played Sunday,
were Messrs. Carey, Sullivan, Nc
Quade, Opel, McMasters, Mccarthy,
Dooley, Kinney and Welsh. Get a
better club than this and the cham
pionship of the two ranges is yours.

praises of the excellent manner

melodra1na with just enough
comedy interspersed to make the
play interesting. It is pathetic
and inspiring play and the stage
settings together with Miss Ay-

added much to its effectiveness.
The specially work OF the Gun

was not backward in attesting to
that fact. The company, with
