Change OF Time.

A new time card goes into effect on
the Duluth & Iron Range Sunday

to this end of the route than the
present schedule. The morning train
will leave at 1870 and the evening
train arrives at $50, the time for leav-
ing and arriving at Duluth being the
same as now. The freight will leave

work is required as if they were in
college and and every man is obliged
to take exhaustive notes on the diff
ferent processes of mining and upon
all details connected with the great
iron districts they visit. There are
sixteen in the party, and morequiet,

Tribune Fake,

The News-Tribune fake artist got
in his work last week on the Frank
Roberts hold-up. The man was not
from Ely although we have Frank
Roberts here, but he is here yet and
has not been to Duluth. Not only
did the Tribune make the error, but
several of our exchanges copied the
article. 1t seems strange that every
fake item in either the Duluth or
Twin City dailies is always located
at Ely.

Notes on Iron and Gold and Their
Production Cleaned From
Various Sources.

Michael Vail, as guardian for Ed
ward Vail, has begun q $4,000 suit
for personal injury damages against
the Chandler Iron company. The
plaintiff is a boy Of 10, and it is
claimed that while working in the
Chandler sawmill some time ago he
got bis arm caught in windlass and
was reyoired around fly wheel for
some time before the machine was
stopped. The ceiling was low and in
his revolutions he was alternately
banged against the floor and the CELL
ing. For this uncomfortable expert
ence, which resulted in serious injur-
les he wants $4,000, alleging that the
company, knowing his youth and eX-
perience, had no right to place him
in such position.

Friday rain, Sunday rain," is an
old saw that proves itself very often.
Such was the condition last Friday
and such also stared the 200 enthu-
siasts who were waiting to go to
Tower on Sunday in the face. 1t was
drizzle and drip from Saturday after
noon all day Sunday and Sunday
night. 1t was plainly to be seen early
Sunday morning that there would be
no show that day to see our sister city
and indulge in the pleasant pastime
OF seeing the Ely ball boys trample in
the dust the base ball glory banner of
the Towers. Still it was lucky the
heavens did not wait until the train
had gone and then send its drilling
moisture to mar the days sport. 1t
was also lucky for the Tower boys it
rained-they were nearer defeat than
they have been for quite a while.
However, our neighbors are scheduled
for here next Sunday and an interest
ing and hard fought game will be
played. Next Sunday, our bail boys
wilt be bile to meet their adversaries
on the diamond with new uniforms
and new equipment throughout. In
all probability also, the bali park will
be fenced and the new grand stand
constructed.
