the firearms flashed, for, as enthusiasm
grew the charges Of powder became

the bells and so fired the guns until

Then followed firecrackers galore,

as heartily as though the Declaration

The night was ushered in by great

shot of fireworks and no one was un-

dents were plentiful, but no one minded
them, and the events of tho day and
evening afforded ample food for village
gossip until the next Fourth came
round.

If there was q wilder specimen Of
reckless, tough-hided humanity In the
world than Bud Bradley, the residents
Of the sandy, sun-dried little western
town Of Lovelocks didn't know t.
Every body knew Bud like 9 town pump.
aud they all declared they didn't know
any good of him; but this was said moro
In Good-natured spirit than from any
III win they bore him, for he was known
to be, like most OF his class, full Of fun
and generous to . fault
When Bud was in town tho town gen.
orally knew It. There was sure to be
a cloud Of dust sailing around in his
wake. He was ever on the move, and
when he moved the earth trembled-
that Is to q limited extent-and it came
to be saying among the people Of that
region when any disturbance was afoot:
"Its either stampede Of cattle or Bud
Bradley's broke loose again" Some Of
the quietly disposed members Of tho lit
tie community hoped the harum-scarum
fellow would get q lesson some day that
would tone him down trifle and give
their nerves a rest.
And he got It.
It was on the glorious Fourth of July,
and Bud was not only jolted nearly to
q jelly, but he was mortified beyond
measure, and all through his own in
sane efforts to fittingly celebrate the
anniversary Of our national independ-
enoe according to his preconceived no
ton.
Such thing as a Fourth Of July cele-
bration was never thought of in that
part OF the country; 1t was too far
away from civilization. There were
firearms and Arewater enough. but
fireworks were not to be had without
sending abroad for them. The cow
boys sometimes had what they termed
little ''dareup," q sort of Bacchanalian
revel with gun-play trimmings, but
this kind of demonstration was too
tame for Bud, and he made up his mind
to introduce q change In the pro-
gramme. and some days beforehand he
laid his plans and warned the boys to
be on the watch, for there was going to
be such display in Lovelocks on the
coming Fourth as would cause the
American eagle to flap his wings and
crow Yankee Doodle"
The Fourth Of July came around and
found Lovelocls as quiet, drowsy and
dusty as on any other day Of the year.
and, with the exception OF an occasion

lounging about the doorways of the
stores, there was nobody astir. Thus

Indications Good.

Indications all point to a busy
season and increased prosperity for
this city. With three such institu-
.tions as the Chandler mine, Pioneer
mine and the Knox Lumber company
working full forces, this city cannot
help but feel the effects greatly.
There is now no doubt but what many
men will find employment in the
vicinity of this city the coming
season. Already preparations are
being made by the Knox people to
send men into the woods to build
camps and do other work in prepara-
tion for busy season. The Chandler
is making great preparations as is
also the Pioneer. Besides the three
mentioned, there are strong pos
sibilities of the Zenith mine resuming
besides several other properties are
seriously. considering extensive ex-
ploration work. Ely is all right.

Received Their Money,

About IS of our dusky denizens
went to Tower Thursday morning to
where Lieut.. w. A. MERCER, Indian
agent, paid them 1898 each as their
share of annuities derived from the
sale of pine from the reservations.
OF course, poor (?) Lo had nothing
better to buy for his money than
tanglefoot of which copious guam
titles were taken in, and which could,
without trouble, be secured at Tower,
by any Indian having the necessary
wherewithal with which to settle the
bill.
Several disgraceful scenes were en-
acted on the Highways as the results of
the sprees-one brave performing a
war dance in broad daylight before
the residence of Julian Howard near
the lake, after he had removed every
stitch of apparel. He was lodged in
the Tower bastile until he assumed
his nomal state and then returned to
this neighborhood where he said he
belonged. This Tower whiskey,
especially the Indian whiskey iaccord-
ing to all reports and the actual
actions of the braves after their hide
is full, must be rotten 'stuff." The
Ely Indians are, as a general rule, a
pretty decent sort.
The U. S. marshals of Minnesota in
their wild efforts to find law breakers
down around St. Paul, are so busy
keeping their eye on the payroll and
drawing their money, they could not
possibly look over the affairs in this
portion of the state. There are
several saloons in Tower, where the
only thing required by anyone to get
drinks is the cash, be the applicant
man, woman, child, Indian, squaw,
or papoose. If the thirsty do not
much desire to 60 to town they go to
the mining location east of Tower
where they, in almost every other
house, can secure beer, whiskey and
other intoxicants. On several occa-
sions parties caught selling liquor

The Kickapoo Medicine company
opened a two weeks engagement at
the Opera house in this city Monday
evening to well filled house. Last
evening the crowd was still larger
and standing room only was to be
had when the performance began.
The artists in the company include
Tom Burns, the famous burnt cork
artist, Lee Mitchell, female imperson-
ator and Allen ST. John, Irish
comedian. Their various turns are
done neatly and occasion much
applause. The company is also
spreading considerable medicine
among the people.

A Pleasant Trip.

The Temperance band and Finnish
Dramatic club returned Monday from
their trip to Virginia. The band
acquitted themselves creditably at
the range city and were the recipients
of many complimentary remarks on
their tasty appearance and excellent
grade of music rendered. Saturday
evening they gave ball at the Opera
house which was attended by about 90
couples, the boys furnishing the
music. In addition the Dramatic
club rendered two dramas which met
with approval by the Finnish popula-
ton of Virginia. The band are loud
in their praises of the manner they
were received and used while on their
trip.
The Finnish band with mem
bership of about twenty-five is one of
the most creditable organizations in
the state. Prof. Oscar Castren, who
has the band under his tutorship, has
put them to a degree of efficiency not
usually attained by country bands.
The Dramatic club Is also an instftu-
tion deserving of much praise and
although their plays are all in the
Finnish language, those who are pre-
pared to say, speak very highly of
them.
There is no doubt Ely. has musical
ability enough to turn outsa band Of
100 pieces in two weeks time which
would make other.cities look to their
laurels. The Ely City band and the
Finnish band are institutions the
citizens should feel proud of and
should vouchsafe all the support in
their power.
1t would be a good idea the coming
summer to build a stand in the city
where the bands could regale the
citizens with selections evenings and
Sundays. The stand could be erected
at a nominal cost and no doubt the
citizens would "chip" in few cents
occasionally, to purchase music and
give the boys show.

Visit Us.

The labor commissioners of the
United States who met in Mime
apolis last week, made Ely visit Fri
day and in company with Manager
John Pengilly, Capt. Harry Thomas
and Capt. John Cowling, descended
into the Chandler mine. The COM
missioners made only one stop on the
Vermilion range and decided that
Ely and the Chandler mine would be
the proper place to examine. They
were taken down No. shaft and
through levels seven and eight. They
expressed themselves as highly pleased
with their visit and rendered Manager
Pengilly an ovation as the train pulled
out Saturday morning, The trip
through the mine was a novel one
being made in the night. The party
was composed of the; following under
the guidance of L. G.. Powers, COM
missioner from Minnesota: B. O.

$500 PER YEAR IN ADVANCE,

at the location have been reported to
st. Paul, but nothing was ever done
about it. In case marshal would
attempt to come up, he would be
promptly taken in tow at Duluth by
a prospective office seeker and sent
back to st. Paul with several pieces
OF money jingling in his jeans. OF
course this makes votes and we all
know there are several votes at the
location. 1t is a rotten shame just
the same. There is no earthly use of
liquor law in this portion of the
country.

The Chandler.

At the Chandler the stockpiles have
nearly disappeared and would have
been sent forward long ago had not
the lack of cars hindered shipments.
The steam shovel has been idle, more
or less, for about a week. Lake
carriers are not as plentiful as during
the middle part of the season owing
to the resumption of Michigan range
shipments and the large number of
vessels engaged at this season in the
wheat traffic. A good week of active
work would clean up the Chandler
shipments. A few men are daily
being hired at this mine, or enough
to fill vacancies. Work on No. shaft
has temporarily been discontinued,
the shaft having reached the required
depth and considerable dead work
being necessary which the manage
ment at present is seeking as far as
possible to avoid. From all surface
indications, taking. into consideration
the improvements being made, the
coming winter promises to see as
many men employed at the Chandler
as formerly and the mine running to
it's full capacity. The citizens of this
city greatly desire to see this the case
as it would mean increased prosperity
for all of Ely's business interests.

Duluth papers bring the report that

company with several other capital
lists would begin explorations on the
properties owned by him on section

properties would be shipping ore.
