into the lake and can never be recovered,
while considerable has been taken ashore

Of the valuable iron mine near Ely, Which,
has occupied the attention of the land
Office and federal courts for so long t.

morning and was issued in accordance
with the decision which Hartmann Won

month s ago, being based on special
certificate Of location which Hartmann
presented at the land Office on that
famous February morning some years
ago. Now that the patent has been issued
is quite likely that suit will be brought
IN the federal courts to disprove his title.

RAILROAD scheme from minneapolis to
Rainy Lake. Insted of their fghtin-
the new road Why don't they go at work
and urge the Iron Range or Missabe road
to extend their lines to this point? W,
are bound to have railroad and do MOI
care where it comes from SO long as il
reaches u.s. In this respect we arc like
the old maid who prayed FOR man and
replied to the owl: "Who? Oh Good
Lord! an ybody, so long as it's man!''
And that's The way we fee. We want
& railroad, and don't care whether it
comes from Duluth, Winnipeg, Mimi
eapolis, Grand Marais or GunAint Lake.
or all of them, We have a field that
warrants railroad construction and the
road that gets here first will ever be
given the highest place in our esteem
