MINING ITEMS.

A second shovel has been started at
the Mountain Iron mine. this time on
the stripping. The shovel is working
on the lower bench on the west side
of the main approach to the mine,
and about Is more men are employed,
making a total of 165. This week the
ore shovel encountered horse of
rock, which has decreased the output.
E. G.. Mitchell. of West Superior has
again revived the iron excitement in
township 6O-22 where he discovered
several good OutcrOpings of iron ore
two years ago. The find is a continu-
alton of the Vermilion range.
The Little Canada mine on Rainy
Lake has now about $50 tons of rich
quartz on the dump and arrangements
are being made to use five of the Lyle
company's stamps, to reduce the ore
until the Little Canada puts in
machinery of its own.

Fight At NamekOn Lake.

Canadian officials and the Arion
Fish company had a running light at
Namekon lake this week and Emil
AIMS and H. e. Fenske, the managers
of the Fish company, were taken to
Canada in the custody of officers.
The trouble was brought about by
the Canadians taking up and confis-
eating the nets set in NamekOn Lake
by the fish company, on the ground
that they were placed in Canadian
waters. When the men at the Crane
lake station learned what had been
done, H. E. Fenske and Emil AIMS to-
gether with six men from their crew
started out for Namekon lake to inves-
tigate matters. On arriving there,
they found their nets gone as they had
been notified and began cruising
around looking for some trace of them
or their destroyers, when suddenly
three boats filled with Canadian
officials darted out from behind an
island and began the pursuit of them.
The steamer May Carter came to
the rescue of the Americans and in
the excitement ran into one of the
boats of the Canadian officers pre-
cipitating the dignitaries contained
therein into the lake. In the mean
time the Americans all escaped on the
Carter with the exception of Fenske,
AIMS and a man named Sims. Great
excitement prevails and an interna-
tional dispute will follow in case the
Canadians have interfered without
DrODer cause.

Oliver Closes.

The Oliver Mining company, the
only Mesaba company at present TAX
ing iron ore from state lands, filed it's
report of royalties for June with the
state auditor last week. Accompany
ing the report was check for the
amount called for. In June the COM
pany took 29,7O5 tons of ore from, the
state lands which it holds, and the
seate's share of the proceeds, at 25
cents ton, is 81 ,426.
In consequence of the state royalty
that must be paid the Oliver has de-
cided to quit operations, saying they
could not see their way clear to pay
the royalty with ore at it's present
market value. The Oliver people con-
troll the Lone Jack mine, of which
they own the fee, and intend to work
it to its full capacity 277 cars, which
means 6371 tons, were mined at the
Lone Jack in twenty-fOur hours last
week by two steam shOvels, and as
high as 5000 tons have been mined by
two shifts. About 275 men found
work at these two properties, this, of
course, including the stripping crew.

Eveleth VS.. Tower.

Sundays ball game between Tower
and Eveleth, resulted rather dis
astrously for the Vermilion ball
tossers, the score standing IL to "a, in
favor of the Mesaba boys. The train
left here at 500 a. M, and proceeded
to Tower, where it took on almost the
entire town. After arriving in
Eveleth, the grounds were found to
be too wet and the return to Virginia
was made, where the game was played.
j. D. and David Murphy, the former
of rover and the latter of Virginia,
were held up between the city and the
depot and numerically beaten by a
party of Swedes, who held grudge
against the Murphys. Several of the
Tower boys then looked up the
assailants and pounded them beyond
recognition. Nice affair this.

Minnesota Very Active.

At Soudan the Minnesota mine
again set men to work at the old No.

Stone. A crew of $50 are working and
it is stated the company intend taking
25O,OOO tons from this shaft.
1t is also stated, the company will
put large crew to developing the
Armstrong property in 62-14 and also
the Lonstorf adjoining on which they
recently secured an option. The
Armstrong was prOspected last
summer with drills and good deposit
discovered. 1t is purposed to sink a
shaft and mine ore. A spur track will

The Spirits Moved.

S. A. Shindel, entertained an invited
party of ladies and gentlemen at the
parlOrs of the Oliver house Saturday
evening with an exhibition of spirit

rappings so familiar at all spiritualistic
seances. Mr.. Shindel also tried
little hypnotism on a few willing
subjects. The evening was enjoyed
by all present. The mystifying ACTIONS
of the table, filled the party with
awe and wonder and much study is
occupying the minds of those present
as to the whatness of the forces con-
trolling the table.
