Election to be Held.

The county commissioners of St.
Louis county have decided to call a
special election for February 4, to let
the people vote on the, proposition to
issue bonds to the amount of $3.50, 900
for the construction of a new road and
the improvement of old roads in ST..
Louis county. Commissioners Miller,
Morcom and Dinham voted in the
affirmative on the question and Helm
and Swenson in the negative. This
is the pet scheme of Commissioner
Miller who has been working to
create public sentiment in favor Of
what might be called belt line to
pass through all the Mesaba range
cities to the northern boundary Of
the county, or the gold fields.
In the list of roads to be improved
besides the main road to be built, we
fail to see the Tower and Ely road
mentioned. 1t would be good idea,
between now and Feb. 4, to hold a
meeting of citizens of this end and
see what is to be done, whether we
are to come in on the road question or
not. Commissioner Morcom will in
all probability see that we get our
desserts but it nevertheless would be
well to see that we do.

MINING NOTES

\ Rwabik correspondent to the
Duluth News-Tribune says: A larger
amount of exploring is being done on
the Mesaba this winter than for two
years past. 4. II. Palmer, who is
prospecting the ne4 of section 81,
58-l7, has four pits in ore and the find
is estimated at about 900 feet in
length by 300 feet in width, the sur
face running from II to b feet in
depth. Analysis show $3.50. in iron
with low phosphorus content. Rich
ard Schell and o. d. Kinney have a
crew at work on section s, 57-17 and
the same parties also have diamond
drill at work on the nw4 of nw4 of
section %, 5S-l7. Edward Sweeney,
the mayor of Crystal Falls, Mich, is
doing this work under contract. Mr..
Sweeney also has a drill at work on
s&se nw4 Of section s, 57-l7 for James
Sheridan OF Duluth. These properties
are all in the neighbOrhoOd of Eveleth
Settlers on the lands around Ely lake,
if they finally secure a re-survey, will
undoubtedly make many excellent
finds OF ore The trend is in that dir
ectioa. The Rouchleau-Ray Iron
Land company have also proved up
quit a wide extent of territory in
this locality, notably on section 26,
5S-l7, and have q number OF exploring
crews in the field. ID. T. Adams,
Neil McInnis and Dick Schell have
lately opened another property south
of the Fayal, and here there is anoth-
or large ore body. Out at Hibbing,
too, there is much of this work going
on and ore is being shown up regnr-.
:lrly. Among the explorers in this
field are E. j. Longyear, T. j. Jones,
Captain Mailman, the Consolidated
and many Others. In fact quiet but
systematic explorations are being car
ried on all along the range, and by
spring the visible supply of ore will
be materially increased. And the end
is not yet.

ly to make a showing. The road fore
men on being interrogated were not
as docile as the men and in several
cases, the secretary of the league and
fraud Investigator but for the timely
interference of companions, would
have graced many acres with his bad
ly scattered self.
Joerns made his reports after reach
ing headquarters and it was strangely
noticeable that the reports varied as
to the treatment received by the
festive secretary. The league after
holding the rolls for a certain time,
of course, had to let them go, no fraud
having been discovered, and at
present the greater majority of held
up accounts have been paid, and the
great work of reform is practically
dead. The people of the county did
not run to meet the league movement
with open arms and therefore its
early demise. The boom for county
offices inaugurated by Mr.. Joerns and
a few others was launched too quick
and no good will come from it. The
vote of all the men on the county
road last summer has been forfeited
in addition to several hundred votes
of right-minded citizens who do not
feel as if the Taxpayers league was a
necessary adjunct to county matters.
The amount of money saved by the
league to the county during the
career of the investigating institu-
tion, has as yet not been made public.
The amount of money the league will
pay in damage cases to fOremen who
have entered suit against it will be
determined by the courts. We doubt
if judgement rendered against the
league could be collected.

Spain now has in Cuba an army of
so, 900 men. This is a force greater
by 1000 than the whole British army
in India. The entire population, white
and colored. is only four times as
great, and its proportion to the num-
Der of whites capable of bearing arms
is about that of one or two. Rarely
does history record an instance where
country so small has been invaded
by an army so great. and when it is
remembered that the Spaniards con-
troll the whole administrative and in
dustrial machinery of Cuba, and that
they have the more or less effective
sympathy of anot inconsiderable local
party, the New York Times thinks
their lack of success is startling
commentary both on the military
skill OF Spain's Generals and soldiers
and on the merits of the cause for
which they are supposed to be fight
ing.

The New York Independent pub
fishes one of the most remarkable dis
coveries ever made in American his
tory. 1t is nothing less than the
oldest document in existence of the
period of the Dutch settlement of New
York. 1t is long official journal
kept, in the winter of 1634-36, by
Aren't Van Corlear, one of the leading
men in the colony, who made visit
to the villages of the Iroquois con-
federation, consisting of the Mohawks,
Oneidas, Onondagas, Cayugas and
Seneca Indian tribes. This journal,
which has lain lost in garret in Hol-
land for two hundred and sixty years,
has been found by General James
Grant Wilson, and brought to this
country, and the translation shows
it to be of extraordinary interest for
the history of New York and the geo.
graphy of the region between Albany
and Utica, which was then wholly held
by Indians. The conclusion of the
journal consists of list of Indian
words with their translations, making
the earliest Iroquois vocabulary
known, the publication of which is de-
layed till another week.

He was man of courtly dignity and no
one knew better than he how to re-
sent an impertinence, whether direct
ed against himself personally or against
the profession to which he belonged. He
was engaged on one occasion to enter
tain a large party Of guests at coun-
try house. He Travelled down from
town in the afternoon, as directed, by
train, which landed him at his destina.
ton just as the guests were assembling
for dinner. Instead Of being received
in the drawing room, however, MT.
Grain was conducted to the buffers
private room, and there, while the
house party was dining upstairs, his
dinner was served. Mr.. Grain said
nothing, but as soon as he had fortified
himself against his return journey he
called all the servants who happened
to be at liberty into the buffers room,
apologized to them for the absence OF q
piano, and, doing the best he could
without one, he proceeded to entertain
the amazed but delighted domestics
with quips and jests and songs selected
at random He never, perhaps, had
more appreciative audience. Then ne

to get into it pompous fiunkey came
