noted last week, the Chandler and
Minnesota ores taken amounting to
300, 600 tons. Small lot orders from
various sources have come up in the
week, but there is general disposit-
ion to wait. Meantime the docks are
receiving heavy tonnage that is not
going forward to furnace yards, and
the indications are that direct ship
ment will not be possible for all the
ore that late buyers are likely to call
for. Shipping facilities are plainly
out of proportion to the sort of ore
market that has been so far this year,
and while the May movement was
heavy, and that for June is of fair
proportions, there will be slump in
July, unless business springs up mean
time. From all upper lake ports there
were shipped to June /, 1855, $40 gross
tons of ore. which is quite little in
excess of last years shipments to the
same date. Lake Superior ports
luth, Superior, Ashland, Two Harbors
and Marquette-sent down 938, 493
gross tons to June last year; this
year, according to the report of ton
mage through the Sault canals, they
shipped 1, 1896 gross tons to the
same date, or 100000 tons more.
Freights are rather weak at IS cents
from the head Of the lake, so cents
from Marquette, and 80 cents from

ELY WINS NOS
Kelly's ssBronchOs'' Again Take
Game From the Tower
Aggregation.
OUR PERCENTAGE YET 1000
While That of Tower, Virginia
and Eveleth is Tied at
333 and 1-3.

If we had only put Dooley in the
box at the beginning of the game, the
result would have been different"
were the expressions heard on every
side at Tower after the first game
played with the Tower club by the
Ely boys this season. Dooley was in
the box during the entire game last
Sunday but the result was the same
as the preceding game-Ely winning.
The whole sum and substance of
the drift Of Towers conversation was
to the effect that the sun rose and set
in the vicinity of where Dooley held
forth. At one time in Sundays ex-
hibition it did appear as if the sun
was rising for the Towers. But, it
set again very suddenly-in fact, so
suddenly, that Dooley was heard to
remark after the game, that he would
never get into the box again.
We are under the impression that
the citizens of Tower have spoiled
their club. We know. personally, that
the boys have been made lions and
heroes of and sugared over with such
expressions as ''they can't beat you, -
until the boys believe it and imagine
they play good game, whether they
do or not. This goes all very well to
talk about, but it is not playing ball.
The game Sunday opened with a
whitewash for Ely the Towers bring
ing in two runs. 1t was poorly put
up exhibition up to the fifth inning.
the game standing at that time 9 to
in favor of Ely. After the fourth ia
ming remarkable good article of bah
was put up, only runs being made by
Tower and one by Ely. McMasters
of the Towers distinguished himself
by making a home run on a beautiful
hit, slick and clean, over centre-field
| fence.
The Tower boys, before the game
excused themselves for their poor
playing the Sunday previous by stat
ing that the Eveleth boys were such
hard hitters that they would knock
Ely clear of the diamond. Tower
and Eveleth stood % to Is in favor of
Tower. Virginia and Eveleth played
last Sunday and Virginia won on a
score of % to 2. The Ely and Virgin
ia game, played two weeks ago showed
a score of to in favor of Ely.
Tower has bested Eveleth and so
has Virginia while Ely has bested
both winners. Why should we be
afraid of Eveleth? We might retail
ate by saying. wait until you play
with Virginia" Ely still holds the
championship of the range league
and intends to keep it.
The score by innings is as follows:
Ely 100 5 8 1 0 0 0 DO
Tower q 0 O o 0 2 0 o.

details of the game will find them

Not being satisfied with their de-
feat week ago Sunday, the Virginia
boys had to go home and tell their
citizens that the Ely boys won their
game on a muffed fly by Columbus.
To deliberately lie in the face of their
defeat and thus draw all the blame
of the OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
-purpoSe-of-base-ban ridden citizens
on the head of the unlucky Columbus,
is mean trick. The entire secret
OF the affair was Lynch's three base
hit, which let in two runs, and not
Columbus error that won, although
Lynch scored on an error.

Next Sunday, weather permitting,
the Tower boys will be UP to do their
third battle with the ''Bronches.'; A
rafting good game is expected and
none should fail to attend. In all
probability the Gun club will accom-
pany them and try conclusions with
the Ely shooters.
Upon arrival home Sunday evening,
the ball boys were met at the train
by host of admirers ia carriages, &C.
companied by the Home Guards band
and escorted up town. The ball boys
were highly pleased with their ova-
tiOn.
Every small boy and even some of
the men carried brooms Sunday even

Tower. The base bah fever has a
