Well said! We can gladly forget the
fight thus far made against silver by
the Observer-based on sincere con-
viction, as is everything that proceeds
editorially from that paper, in the
anticipation of the battle royal our
esteemed contemporary will hence
forth give the enemy. Like Long

arriving, but it's loyalty to Democracy

Of one thousand, notwithstand-

The citizens of the central Me

prepondorance of sentiment fa-
voring the proposition, Virginia
casting 523 for to 8 against the
proposition. The Auburn, a
Minnesota Iron company pre-
cinct, was the only precinct on
the Mesaba where the PROPOSE
ton was defeated, the vote there
being 63 against and but 4 favor
able to the bonds. The Auburn
and Ely were the only precincts
in the county outside Duluth in
which the bonds we're defeated.
but the small vote at either place
rendered their aim harmless, the
ranges going to Duluth with
over 1900 majority.
There will be little trouble ex-
perienced in floating the bonds,
and the early summer will see
everything in readiness for active
work on this greatly needed in

ment to hundreds Of laborers,

To County Commissioner Mil

hoped that the road, when built,
will be so constructed as to be a
lasting credit to the entire

many days now before the wheels
will again be revolving at these

INNING MINUTES.

Over 100000 more tons of
iron ore will be shipped from
Minnesota in 1895 than in 1895,
and, the producers expect, at
be ter prices than ruled last year.
It will not be the fault Of the
producers at least if the prices
are not more satisfactory. Last
year Minnesota shipped about
10000 tons Of iron ore and
this year there is the certainty
of the shipments aggregating
100000 tons. The Duluth &
Iron Range road last year hauled
2, 100000 tons for shipment and
this year will haul anywhere
from 2, 500, 900 to 2,75O,0O0 tons,
The Missabe & Northern road
last year hauled over 1900, 900
tons Of iron ore and this yerr
will increase the total to over
100000 tons. The Duluth &
Winnipeg road, which hauled
100000 tons of ore last year, will
increase it's shipments this year
to 100000 tons. Railroad and
iron ore managers agree that
the shipments of ore from the
state this year will approximate
5000, 900 tons, indicating clean
million tons increase, or better,
oyer the shipments of the preced-
ing year.
Hosting has been discontinued
for the present at the Burt mine
