Tower and Ely Road.

The county road between this city
and Tower, for very small apprOpri-
alton, could be put in good condition
for both pleasure and business pur-
poses. From this end the road is fair
as far as Robinson lake and the Tower
end is also good for about six miles
this way. With the coming of the
bicycle there appears new phase to
the road question throughout the
land. In all southern sections the
roads are being put in good condition
for bicycle travel and the road COM
missioners are recognizing the rights
of the "bike" as vehicle. With a
good highway between here and Tower,
the social, as we'll as business rela-
lions of the two towns could be much
increased. No doubt the county COM
missioners would be only too willing
to make an appropriation if properly
approached. AS the road is now, it is
no good and not in use with the eX-
ception of few miles towards and
from this city,

Imagination at Rainy Lake.

According to the Rainy Lake Jour
nal word has reached Rainy Lake
City that early in the spring an
Indian, while on a hunting trip was
dismayed at the sight of brilliant
stone, that gave forth all the colors
he could think Of, including the sun,
moon and stars. Full of superStitious
dread he padded away from the spot
with all possible speed. He did not
mention the matter to other Indians
until quite recently, when it reached
the ears of a half-breed who had some
notion of gems, and thought it might
be big diamond.
After some persuasion and setting
at comparative rest the superstitious
fear of the Indian, he finally prevailed
upon him to take him to where he
had seen the strange sight, but owing
to the high water coming on the
Indian could not locate it,. However.
later on the half-breed will make
another attempt to find the stone and
it may be something equalling the
famous kohinOOr diamond may yet be
discovered in the Rainy Lake region.

sinking shafts to distance of from
30 to 60 feet the ore became refractory,
which the stamp mills could not
touch, although the assays of the
refractory ores showed more gold than
did those of the free-milling. 1t has
been clearly proven that to secure the
gold from the new field, complete
set of new machinery is required.
Some of the mOnied men controlling
several of the properties, will put in
the machinery, but according to all
accounts, several ''freeze out" games
are on the tapis and consequently the
country will suffer.
Late reports brought from the Lyle
mine on Dryweed island in Rainy
lake, say the quartz is again running
into free milling as depth of over
80 feet is attained in the main
shaft. The Hillyer-Steele property,
on the Seine, is also improving in
quality of ores as depth is attained.
The latter mine has been proven by
assays to be the richest in the country.
notwithstanding this the poorest
stamp mill results have been obtained.
With scarcely color showing in the
pan, the wash rock glistened with
particles of free gold, showing the
stamp mill not capable of taking care
of the quartz.
The wealthy New York syndicate,
who last fall secured options on $780,
600 worth of Seine river properties,
have failed to make their options
good, not because the ore was not
good, but because is was of such
a refractory nature, the numerous
smelters would have nothing to
do with it, unless they could retain
the greater part of the shining metal
for their work, leaving the property
holders bare subsistence and no
returns on their investments.

Nearly 1000 Tons of Chandler Produ ct
Daily Being Shipped.
A bustling scene of activity prevades
at the Chandler mine these days.
The steam shovel is kept busy every
day and part of the night in it's efforts
to reduce the size of the stockpiles
The management have the shipping
of every pound of ore on the stockpiles
in view and no effort or labor will be
spared from now on to reach that end.
The daily products of the Chandler
exceeds 1900 tons day and in addition
to the daily loading of the steam
shovel, it is figured the Chandler is
shipping to the docks nearly 1000 tons
day.
The steam shovel has about cleaned
up No. 4. stockpile with the exception
of about 1000 tons on the bank which
must be loaded by hand. With over
three months yet to ship, there is no
doubt, all the stocked ore, with the
daily output will 20 forward. In
order to clean up the stocked ore the
company were forcedato curtail the
output from in the neighborhood of
So, 600 tons per month, to 3S, 600 tons a
few months ago.
The ore train is making four and
sometimes five daily trips between
between here and the junction with
80 loads, in the aggregate 500 tons

Another Saw Mill.

1t is reported, automatically, that a
Michigan concern has in view the
erection of a large saw mill in this
city, on the banks of Long lake. The
firm having the mill in mind, control
at the present time about 125, 900, 00C
feet of pine on the streams tributary
to BURNSIDE and Long lakes, and are
rapidly accommodating all the pine
lands they can secure. The name of
the firm is not being publicly men
toned although almost everyone in
the city is aware of whom we speak.
We hope the report is not unfounded
and that soon Ely will become the
home of another valuable industry.

THE GOLD COUNTRY.
Although there is no Rush the Cpd Fields
are Coming to the Front

Although there is no Rush the Glold Fields
are Coming to the Front.
Late adyices from the Rainy lake
and Seine river country are 10 the
effect that work is progressing stead
ily, on the numerous workings and
that although there is no great influx
of people into that country at the
present time, developments are never
theless being rapidly pushed. AL
though the Duluth & Iron Range
route via Tower is by far the sshorter
and cheaper way to reach the 'Eldora-
do. the Winnipeg and Rat Portage
route is meeting with the larger part
of the travel now owing to the enof-
NOUS amount of rain that has fallen
this season and the muddy condition
of the 2S-mile portage between Yer
million and Crane lakes. The money
recently appropriated by the county
commissioners for the portage, will
suffice to put the road in first class
condition.
3 Capital has not fallen over itself in
it's effort to reach the gold country.
For this there are several reasons.
The most potent among these is the
fact that too high a price was asked
for surface indications. The several
stamp mills have also tended to hold
the country back. Surface rock was
found to be free milling, but after

to a trip. On July ID, the Chandler
had shipped 268, $50 tons and have In
stock at the present time, according
to the estimate of Manager Pengilly,
about 174,0 900 tons.
The new vertical shaft being sunk,
known as the new No. 4, is now down
to depth of about 100 feet and good
Roadway is being made. The shaft
was begun on May 81, and is located
about 300 feet north of the old No.
shaft. About 600 men are at present
employed in the Chandler.

DIRTY BUSINESS.
Thugs and Toughs Employed BY ContestOrs
and LOcatOrs at the Land ONCE.

1AANSo anu AouSiib hnuPlOycu ny OOntcetOIS
and LOcatOrs at the Land ONCE.
The disgraceful proceedings at the
doors of the Duluth land Office on the
opening of every new and valuable
township for entry, were repeated
again last week, by the gang OF pro-
fessional contestors and dishonest
DcatOrS who infest this country and
Others as well.
Honest settlers who go to the land
office to file, have no show against
these parasites, simply because they
are not stong enough to hold out at
the entrance against the onslaught
of a mob of Minnesota Point thugs
and toughs, who are hired for the
occasion.
The dirty, rotten gang who for the
past years has been in the habit OF
making it hot" for every honest
homeSteader or pre-emptOr have near
ly run their race. At one time there
were land sharks, enough in the busl-
ness to help each other out, but now,
owing to the fields of labor becoming
smaller every year, the vampires are
forced to hire the offscOurings OF the
earth to assist them in their nefariOus
work.
The method employed to hamper
the settler is as follows:
A certain locator secures his men
who are to enter the different tracts
of which he has the minutes. Then
he gets a number of roustabOuts and
toughs and places them in the line to
push these men forward. Time and
again one of them has been seen to
grab settler who was near the front
and then the Others pull and the man
would be jerked out of his place in a
jiffy. Immediately one of the lOcator's
henchmen would be pushed into the
place. By continued jostling and
crowding they manage to get these
fellows to the front. Then they hold
them there until the land office is
open and they get in. All OF them
then disappear, their work being done.
Ever since the little unpleasantness
at Tower. year ago, in which Nee,
Cook. Shannon and others, figured SO
conspiciously at the end OF rope,
with a body of fifty ablefSadied home
steaders at the other end, the land
sharks have given TowefS wide berth.
There are several new townships to be
opened in this vicinity and thesettlers
should see that none of this class OF
animal gets into the towns. 1t is
easier to keep them out than it is to
get them out after they are In. Get
arope and lay for them.

THE PIONEER.
New Machinery and Track Going In and
the Property Taking on a Lively Aspect.

New Machinery and Track Going In and
the Property Taking on a Lively Aspect.
At the Pioneer mine about 200 men
are at present finding employment.
About 120 men are employed in the
shaft drifting and taking out ore to
the amount of $50 tons daily.
The ore is being taken from the 9Th
level up. Below the 9TH level the
work of opening up and developing is
taking place to depth of 74O feet, or
the 9th level. so men are at work
grading for the spur to the stockpile
grounds, which will be completed in
about three weeks. The grade of ore
being hoisted by the Pioneer is of an
exceptionally high quality going about
81 per cent metallic iron with scarcely
a trace of phosphorus.
The cOmpreSsors in the new build
ing, built for their acceptance, are in
position and as soon as the boilers are
set on their foundation near the COM
pressors, the plant will be ready for
business. The compressors are the
Ingersoll Sargant, with 10 by AZ cyl
inder and a 20 by AZ air cylinder and
have 80 drill capacity.
The two mammoth new pumps to
be set, one in the It'll level and one
in the 9th, are stored on the grounds
ready to put in on short notice. The
pumps are the Prescott duplex with a
81 by "a inch plunger, 9, high pressure
cylider Is by "a and "a by SO low
pressure cylinder and have capacity
of 800 gallons per minute, built for an
800 foot lift.
In addition to the pumps and COM
pressors, the company are putting in
something new to this country in the
shape of boilers. They are the Stir
ling water tube safety boilers, manu-
featured by the Stirling company, of
Chicago, at their shops in Barberton,
Ohio. These boilers attracted con-
siderable attention at the Worlds
fair and were honored with first pre-
MUM. There are four boilers of
$50 FL. p. in two batteries. they con-
tain 1872, 81 by an average of IA feet
tubes and have heating surface of
LOO square feet with a CRATE surface
of 36 feet. they are guaranteed to
evaporate between Zine and ten
pounds of water with one of coal
under ordinary circumstances.
There are three 36-inch upper drums
on an iron frame IA feet high with a
mud drum below. All the tubes from
the upper drums, 1872 in number, run
into the lower drums. The water cir
culates through the lower drum to
reach the upper two front drums, the
sediment remaining in the lower
drum. The upper drums are connec-
ted by short water circulating tubes.
The boilers are tested at 200 pounds
water pressure. The whole is enclosed
by an 18-inch brick wall, retaining all
gases, heats, ETC., AMI is surmounted
by a 4S by 20 stack.
Mr.. S. A. Shindel, the gentlemen
who is setting the boilers, says his
company have from Is to 20 men set
ting these boilers the year around
and their field covers the entire
United States and great many of
the foreign countries. One battery
at the Pioneer will be ready by August
l, and the other will follow soon
after.

TELEPHONE POLES FALL.
Three Portuguese Boys Narrowly
Escape Serious Injury.

About a half dozen Portuguese
boys caused a commotion yester-
day afternoon about 5 o'clock.
They were playing on a pile Of
telephone poles that were stacked
up near where the KIkitat is lying.
Suddenly the pile tumbled over
burying three of the boys and
throwing the others into the water.
The injured boys were extricatrd
and taken to DR. McKib6in's office
where they were attended. One Of
the boys had badly bruised leg ;
the other bad cash over his left
temple; the third was more fright
ened tnan hurt. Some natives
jumped in the water and rescued
the boys who were knocked over
board.

President Cleveland's Letter to the
Government.
INJURY DONE AN AMERICAN CITIZEN
Was Imprisoned During January Diff
culties-Durrell by Name--Oncs .
Cook, now Runs n Soda stOre-PrOb-
able Action Taken by the Executive.

Had Senator McCandIeSS press
ed his request for the correspond
ence on the subject of claims
against the Government lodged by
persons arrested in connection
with the January uprising, some
very interesting correspondence
with the United States would
doubtless have been made public
Thursday afternoon.
On Wednesday afternoon Min
lister Hatch received a communica-
ton from Minister Willis in which
President Cleveland makes a de-
mand for damages for injuries
done one James Durrell, an Amer
lean citizen, consequent to his
arrest and Imprisonment without
cause and without explanation
during January difficulties. The
letter will not be made public
until called for by the Senate but
it is understood that President
Cleveland states that Mr.. Durrell
has proved a prima facie case, and
he trusts that the Hawaiian Gov
eminent will make due repara-
ton for the indignities to which
this American citizen was sub
iected. No definite sum is
named, but Durrell in his
complaint to his government
claimed that his extensive fruit
business and good name in the
community had been injured to
the extent of $25,O0O.
The communication from Min
lister Willis was the first intima-
ton this Government has received
of the claims made by Durrell.
AS the latter is now residing in
the country his complaint was un-
doubtedly put in the hands of
the American Minister, who with
out following the course of British
Commissioner Hawes and obtain
ing the Governments side of the
story, Immediately sent the docu-
ment to the authorities in Washing
ton.
Durrell came to this country
from Louisiana, and during his
early stay in the islands was en-
ployed as cook at the Arlington
Hotel. Later he opened a small
corner store-soda water and cigar
shop-which constituted his busi-
ness at the time of his arrest, on
January 9, 1895. He was arrested
during martial law and kept in Jail
for seven weeks. He was then re-
leased without, as he states, any
explanation for his treatment by
the Government.
The Government has not made
reply to Mr.. Willis letter, but
when it is sent it will probably be
to the effect that the Hawaiian
Government will investigate Mr..
DurrelPs case and pass upon the
merits of his claim. Marshal
Hitchcock has the matter in hand,
and, as soon as possible, will place
before the Executive the evidence
against Durrell.
