At the Chandler work is going on
at a steady gait. The stockpiles are
rapidly growing in size and no doubt
by spring the Chandler will have
stOckpiles of which the management
can well feel proud, taking in con-
sideration the fact that the ore was
all hoisted through three shafts. AS
soon as the new engine arrives, it will
be connected to the hosting gear in

the present hosting capacity Of the

No Licenses fer Crane Lake.

The Conable Fish company Of
Chicago has applied by letter to Agent
Fullerton, of the state game and fish
commission for twelve pound net
lincenses. The company intimates
that it desires to operate in Crane
lake. in which water the Arion Fish
company was at work. The AriOn
company's license was revoked when
the Car load of game it was shipping
to New York was seized, and Agent
Fullerton has decided to grant no
licenses to persons to fish in that
water until the state has secured a
settlement in fines for portion of
the game seized. He says that the
Conable company's intentions are un-
doubtedly honorable, but that it
would be simple matter for a COM
pany or an individual to secure a
license to fish in Crane lake and then
turn it over to the Arion Fish Co.,
which has $25, 900 plant established
there and is not willing to abandon
l
it. BY thus securing license through
another the Arion company could
continue it's business. Looking at
the matter in that light Agent Fuller
ton returned the check for $40 sent
by the Conable company to pay for
it's licenses.
He will bring the matter up, how.
ever, at the meeting OF the state
game and fish commission, which will
be held Feb. IL, at which time the
commission, which will consider all
applications for pound net licenses
required of persons fishing in inter
national waters. The state receives
$40 for each license issued, and Agent
Fullerton has now on file applications
aggregating $3.50. Last year the
commission issued $1,000 worth OF
licenses, and Agent Fullerton esti-
mates that the amount will be lnrger
this year.-Pioneer Press.

Mrs. Jos. Skala Dead.

With regret we are compelled to
chronicle this week the death of Mrs.
Jos. Skala last Saturday morning
after an illness of about two weeks.
of embulism of the brain.
Mrs. Jos. Skala, nee Barbara Koch
evar, was born in Inter Krain, Aus
tria. in 1869 and was at the time OF
her death, 81 years of age. She was
married to Joseph Skala at Tower in
1887. Five children were born to the
couple, the oldest seven years and the
youngest two weeks old.
The death of wife and mother is a
hard blow to the surviving father and
children, especially to the younger
one who is thus early deprived OF the
watchful care of mother. Deceased
was favorite in the neighborhood
and was esteemed by a large list OF
acquaintance.
The funeral occurred Sunday from
the Catholic church of which she
was member. Rev. Father Bilban
conducted the services and spoke very
impressively his address being deliv-
cred in the Slavonic language. The
funeral was one of the largest ever
held in this city. The church was
crowded to suffocation and far out
into the street friends were lined up
prepared to pay respects to and take
a last look at the now cold form of one
they admired. The funeral cortege
was the largest ever seen here, every
available vehicle in the city being out
the whole led by the Ely City band
which played several sad, dreary
dirges with much expression.

TO SUBSCRIBERS.

We have sent out o large mum,
Der of subscription statements to
readers Of THE MINER throughout
the United States and Canada and
trust we will meet with liberal re-
sponses. There are times in the
life Of every newspaper man when
he needs cash and this happens to
be one of the times. Many will
probably say, eff we cannot be
trusted for year, we don't want
the paper" To these we will say,
don't take it. 1t is not a question
of honesty, for we believe all our
readers are honest, but it is a
question of necessity. One half OF
the year has passed and it is only
fair that we should be trusted for
the balance of the year. All the
names on our list were placed
thereon at the instigation offriends
of the parties or the parties them
selves and those not wishing the
paper will confer q great favor on
the publisher>by saying SO. Be
cause the amount is small, many
believe it would make no great
difference if their mite was missing.
THIS is not the case. 800 sub
scribers aggregate in cash value
5000 and $500 will help many
people out in good shape-especial-
" q newspaper man. Don't get
hot and come in to lick the editor
but look at it from business
point of view. If the paper suits
you, pay for it. If it does not
suit, why do you take it? 1t costs
money to live and run a paper.
Give the matter your earliest at
tention and you will feel better.
We will also feel better.

VIII Float.

The Duluth News-Tribune in an
nouncing the lease of the Sibley &
Bearinger lands by the Minnesota
Iron company last week, made the
following comments on the deal which
have been copied by number OF our
exchanges:
'sThis lease is an affair of much i'm
portance to the village of Ely as it
will give employment to many ad-
ditional men for several years. The
Pioneer and Zenith mines in addition
to the big Chandler mine will proba bly,
be in operation next summer and ELY
will once more float on the high tide
of prosperity"
"Village of Elyv" Listen to them.
II the historical writer of the Tribune
would only take a look through the
archives of ST. Louis county, he would
ind where the "village Of Ely" had
been incorporated into city nearly
-four years ago and has today popula-
ton of something like 1000 souls, and
can boast at the present time of more
inhabitants than any town or city
this side of Duluth. ''The Pioneer
and Zenith mines in addition to the
big Chandler will probably work next
summer and Ely will once more float
on the high tide of prosperity" Did
we ever float otherwise? Has it not
always been claimed that Ely was the
best town on the ranges? Even dur
ing the hard times there was not a
single case of restitution in this city
which the county was asked to take
care of.
This idea of the metropolitan press
in singing out Ely as the scene of all
their fake items and of belittleing us
in the eyes of their outside readers is
getting altogether to thin. We are
a city. Have in the neighborhood of
1000 peaceable, law-abiding citizens.

stitutions in cities much larger than

Candidates for the Gallows.

The two Biwabik boys SOular and
Verrill now in the county jail for the
murder of Samuel DeMars few
weeks ago, confessed to Marshall
Wall, of Biwabik, their crime in the
presence of witnesses at the county
Jail Saturday. The boys made light
of their deed and laughingly alluded
to the actions Of their victim after
being shot. Soular confessed to shoot
ing De Mars twice with rifle after
which Verrill fired revolver shots in
to the body. The murderers have some
how or other gotten hold of the idea
that if they confessed, they would not
swing for their crime.

A Good Measure.


The problem of what shall be done
with lands which have lapsed to the
state by nOn-payment of taxes is one
that will soon require settlement in
Minnesota. VIM. A. French, state
land commissioner of Michigan, gives
the following information regarding
their disposal in that state. "By the
recent land tax law, all land that has
been held by the state for three years
because of non-payment OF taxes is
now subject to homestead entry.
Each homesteader can secure 24O
acres of land and all he has to pay
is 10 cents an acre each year for five
years. That gives him title to the
land for SO cents an acre, paid in easy
installments. The settlement of the
land by homesteaders will help the
northern counties out wonderfully.
you see it is heavy tax to keep the
county and city governments and
schools of the upper countries going
because most of the land which was
formerly covered with timber, was
owned by spectators. They cut off
the timber and refuse to pay taxes on
it. letting it fall into the possession
of the state. That is the way the
state secures possession of the land"

MAY LIST the Day.

- The agricultural lands in the Red
Lake Indian reservation will be
opened to settlement May l. This
was decided upon at conference at
Washington between Secretary Smith,
Senator Nelson. Chairman Baldwin,
of the Chippewa commission, and
Representatives Towne and Eddy.
The congressional portion OF the
delegation favored June l as proper
date, and Maj. Baldwin urged April
as being the better time, for the rea-
son that no crops could be raised II
settlers went on land at the later
date. The secretary, however, COM
promised the difference and set the
date above named.

Following is found receipt which
has been going the rounds of the press
and which has been proved to work
satisfactorily: cat the first indica-
tion of diptheria in the throat of a
child, make the room close; then take
a tin cup and pour into it an equal
quantity of tar and turpentine; then
hold the cup over the fire SO as to fill
the room with fumes. The patient
inhaling the fumes will cough and
spit up the membraneous matter and
the diptheria will pass off. The
fumes of the tar and turpentine
lessons the trouble in the throat and
thus affords the relief that has baf11ed
the skill of physicians.

by the same route taking the little
pony formerly owned by Johnson
with him. The exit from Ely of this
pony robs us of one of the old land
marks and a potent factor in the
celebration of the glorious Fourth of

winning slow horse races which no
other equine in the state can hold
candle TO. We have not as yet ascer-
tanned whether Mr.. Smith has reached
Tower or not. According to the time
record of the Ely race track, the party
by this time must be in the neighbor-

Mr.. Smith and pony have safely

Again the Tax.

BY being misinformeH last week
The MINER was made to say that
'the new school house was material
factor in keeping the percentage up.
No levy in any amount was made to
meet Indebtedness for city of Ely"
In this we were mistaken. The new
school house has nothing to do with
this years taxes whatever. The
percentage of total taxes paid will be
found IN the list below. There are
several things in regard to taxes
which we will explain later on, let the
following do for the present:
In 1894, A per cent Of the total tax
levied was for school purposes, 40 per
cent for fire, court and police, IL per
cent for county and per cent for
state purposes. This year 80 per cent
are for school purposes, 48 per cent
for fire, court and police, II per cent
for county and 5 per cent for state
purposes. The school tax is IA per
cent less this year than last. The
fire, court and police tax for the city
is increased per cent over last year.
The county tax has been increased 6
per cent over last year. The total
valuation of real and personal proper
ty in Ely last year was S126,274, while
the valuation this year is S13S, 224
making an increase for 1896 OF 81. $50.
