The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1895-11-20

The village of Mckinley win now
take new lease of life. A mine is
to be opened there at once, and be-
tween $4,000 and 10o, 900 tons of ore
will be shipped therefrom during 1895.
Capt. Harry Roberts, who recently
secured an option on the Petit s.
Robinson lands in section s, 5e.16, has
disposed of the same TO firm of fur
nacemen in Youngstown, Ohio. The
lands are described as the sw3 of nw4
and WI of sw4 of section 8, and were
originally part of the Mckinley
mine. As previously mentioned, the
McKinleys had already shown up a
quarter million tons Of ore on these
lands and Capt. Roberts but recently
started a crew Of explorers at work
for the purpose of further develop
ment.
Capt. e. ]. Gilbert, the well known
mining man for several years superin-
tendent of the Pioneer mine at Ely,
will have charge of the new work.
Mr.. Gilbert was in town yesterday
He says that preparations for mining
are to be commenced at once. 1t is
the intention to ship about 1900
tons of ore from the property next
year and steady work through the
winter viii be necessary in order to
put the mine in shape. 1t is not yet
determined which railroad will handle
the ore, but about a mile of track
building will be necessary in either
case. This will also necessitate con-
siderable work in that locality during
the winter months.-Range.

been r0und there. number or
properties on the western Vermilion,
in the vicinity of Pike and Sturgeon
rivers, will Also be developed.
The combined production of thirty
stamps, ten at the Sultana, ten at the
Regina and ten at the Gold Hill
mines during the last twenty-five
days has been $4,000 in gold. The
Record has no hesitation in saying
that few gold districts can show as
good result for the capital invested.
1t will no doubt attract more capital
and hasten that era of prosperity
which is dawning on us.-Rat Portage
Record.
The Ore Shippers Association,
heretofore confined to the old ranges.
has invited the mining companies in
the Mesaba range to join. The plan
proposed is to all the Mesaba ore a
differential of from 20 to 25 cents per
ton in selling price. The mine own
ers in the older ranges have quite gen.
eral interests in the newer one.
1t is understood that the Auburn
closes all shipments this week and
that they contemplate closing
the mine for the winter, or practically
doing so, deeming it more expedient
to mine the ore direct than to stock
pile. The Winston Bros. stripping,
however, will continue so long as the
weather will permit, with a good
force. -Enterprise.
c. D. Fraser, secretary of the Oliver
Mining company, wants bids for the
removal of 10000 yards Of earth
from the Sheridan mine west OF Hib-
bling, as it is the intention to ship
property next season. The name of
the mine viii be changed soon be-
cause there are others OF the same
name.
The Minnesota Iron company are
still shipping ore. The steam shovel
is at present working at the large
stockpile containing something like
$50, 900.
James Sheridan, of Daluth, has Sc
cured an option from the Security
Land & Iron company on lands in 8,

ROYALTIES on Iron Lands.

If there are any class of producers
who have right to object to our sys-
tenn of land tenure it must be the
iron ore producers in the Lake SUI
perior region. An instance Of the
way in which the ore producers are
gagged by those who do nothing in
the way of development is shown up
by advocates of the iron ore interests.
Soon after ore was discovered in
Michigan, the legislature enacted a
law that exempted the land contain
ing the ore from all taxation, state or
local. providing the owner paid into
the state or county treasury, half to
each one cent per ton on the ore they
actually took out. Later the legisla-
ture reserved to the state the owner
ship of its ore lands. but permitted
the leasing of the same on certain
conditions. The lessees now hold the
great ore beds by paying fee Of %
cents per ton. They are not obliged
to operate the mines themselves, but
they can draw royalty from those
who are willing to get the ore out.
Thus the operator Of mine which
has been thus leased from the state
has to pay both tax and royalty, and
these OF course must come from the
ore. The holders who first secured
the lands from the state are thus
enabled to enjoy big revenue from
the capital and labors of others. The
ore men hold that the state should
receive the amount now collected BY
the lessees and that Minnesota should
do as Pennsylvania has done in the
matter of coal lands, that is, tax the
iron ore lands as farm land is taxed.

turer.

SECTION 80 AGAIN.
The State of Minnesota Takes a Hand In
the Famous Controversy.


A dispatch from Washington, dated
Nov. Is, says: The famous section 30
case came up before the interior de-
partment under a new phase today
This time the state of Minnesota
takes hand in the controversy. To
day John c. Judge, of Minneapolis, on
behalf of Minnesota, through Robert
c. Dunn, as state land commissioner
Of the general land Office claiming the
northwest quarter Of the southeast
quarter of section 80, subject to entry
at Duluth, upon the ground that it is
more than half wet and oyerflowed
land and more than two thirds part
OF the whole is unfit for cultivation.
No determination as to the charac-
ter OF this land has ever been made
by the interior department, the state
never heretofore attempted TO submit
any evidence going to show it is of a
swampy nature. 1t is requested that
opportunity be Immediately given the
agents of the state to prove by
competent evidence the character of
this land, and that pending this in
Vestigation all other claims to the
land be held up. Affidavits are sub
mitted from State Land Commissioner
Dunn and Frank Plummer, surveyor,
to the effect that the land is swampy.
while power of attorney is filed from
&. c. Dunn and approved by Governor
Clough, authorizing Judge to prose
cute the case On behalf of the state.
Forty acres of land are involved and
it is valued at all the way from 81, 0OO,-
900 to 100000 Attorney Judge is
confident that the swampy character
of the land can be proved, and that
more than one half of it is wet and
loveriowed, as contemplated by the
act of congress, and is unfit for culti-
walton to the extent of an actual two
thirds part of the whole.
The effect of the filing of the states
claim for the land will be to suspend
the patenfing of the tracts to the
successful contestants under the de-
eision of Secretary Smith last spring.
The decision of Secretary Smith
awarded the northwest quarter of the
southeast quarter, which the state
now claims as swamp land, to
Houghton e. James. The latter sub
sequently relinquished his homestead
entry on this land, and William Craig,
manager of the Duluth Gas and Water
company, fled Porterield scrip on it.

The Taxpayers league has gotten
itself into a mess already. Monday,
the papers in a suit were filed in dis
trict court Nicholas Anderson, fore
man on the Rice lake road, filed two
suits against the commissioners and
the county to recover his claims for
August and September, both of which
have been tied up by appeals. In his
complaint he says that he has board
ed his men for $3.50 per week and
deducted the amounts from their
wages, turning in his bill therefor to
the county. 1t was allowed by the
commissioners, but tied up by appeals
later. The amount of the bill for
August was s2s7.73, and of that he
assigned S33 to II. T. Dinham,
through NJ. J. Durham s Co., and
SI5S.77 to Richard Dinham. These
amounts. he claims, he will be OBJ
liged to pay unless he can get his
money out of the county. His
September bill is s259.SO, of which
s1l9.54 has been assigned to z.
Dinham and various amounts to
others, including $3.50 to "John Doe,
alias" ]. II. Norton is his at
