At the Chandler.

Shipments from the Chandler are
rapidly going forward, about eighty
cars being loaded with the steam
shovel daily making total, of about
1900 tons. The raising of the shaft
house at No. 4, began this week and
with any kind Of decent weather will
be rushed to completion.
In conversation with Manager Pen
gilly this morning, he informed us
that at the present rate of hosting,
the Chandler would have by the first
of August. enough ore hoisted to fill
it's seasons contracts. When asked
as to a probable raise in wages. he
said he did not know what the COM
pany intended doing, but that he had
taken up the matter and placed it at
the cOmpany's consideration.

THE NEW WORKINGS.
Company Formed to Develop the Finds In
62-13 at Mile I06

62-13 at Mile 1O6
A new iron mining company-the
Southall Mining company Of Duluth,
will be incorporated this week. A
couple of months ago S. Sterling
Smith of Duluth and J. III. Southall
of ST. Paul procured lease from c..
d'AutremOnt and others of Duluth
upon the set of sec. 4-62-13. Capt.
James Bale, the we'll known miner,
had previously examined this land
and had reported that, in his opinion
it contained rich deposit of hard
ore. Other reliable experts also look
ed the land over and there reports
were somewhat conflicting, one well
known miner declaring that the out
crop found by Capt. Bale was nothing
but boulder. Mr.. Smith, however,
placing great reliance upon Capt.
Bale, determined to explore further
and the results obtained by him have
fully justified his confidence IN that
gentleman's skill and good judgment.
Out of twelve pits sunk by Mr.. Smith,
eight are bottomed in good hard blue
specular ore assaying 69.5 metallic iron
and .O22 phosphorus. The ''boulder
man" is not saying very much just at
present about this find.
The Southall company's mine is
situated near Robinson lake about Z
miles west of Ely and the main line
of the Duluth s. Iron Range runs
through it. The lease calls for a Is
cent royalty. The company, when
organized, will at once proceed with
thorough explorations and develop
ment operations, plenty of capital be-
ing ready for this purpose, and in all
probability, within a year, the Yer
million range will have another hard
ore mine to it's Northwestern
Miner.

PROSPECTING FOR COAL.
A Novel Manner in Which a Shaft is Be-
ing Sunk in 1928.

A Novel Manner In Which a Sha1C is be-
ing Sunk in 63-23.
A pine land man who has just re-
turned from an extended prospecting
tour through the country where the
recent discoveries of coal are reported
to have been made, says that a man
named Gardner is actually sinking
shaft on section 1892 for the pur-
pose of determining whether he has
coal on his land or not, says the
Northwestern Miner. This shaft is
6 feet square, 1O6 feet deep, and is
curiosity in its way. 1t goes down
through solid yellow clay with scarce
ly boulder to be found, and there is
not a timber in it. At times small
Quantities of water will trickle from
the sides, and then the diggers cut
plug, drive it into the wall and plug
up the leak, which performance,
strange to say, seems to be perfectly
effectual in stopping the flow OF water.
Gardner has his family up there with
him and crew of six or eight men
working. He showed up some hoat
coal to his visitor. who describes 1t as
being light in weight and showing
some slight characteristics of Ignite.
but being of firmer texture than the
ordinary Ignite and not nearly SO
friable. Gardner is going to start
another shaft, ska this time, in To-
cation where he considers the indica-
lions are better and says that he is
going down just as deep as he can,
and does not mean to stop until ne
has found the wished for coal.

Our Schools.

The pupils of the higher grades of
our public schools are busily engaged
this week taking the state high
school examination. Principal Giles
reports very satisfactory results. The
papers will be sent for final review to
President Northrop of the state high
school board. If a sufficient number
secure the required standing, the
school will be placed on the state high
school list.
This will be decided advantage in
many ways, not the least of which
will be the securing Of the s4OO annual
apportionment made to each of the
high schools of the state.
Mrs. A. D. Bell, who for the past
three months has acted as assistant
principal of our schools, retired on
Friday last. Miss Leonora Zahm,
who has been in charge of the kinder
garten department, has been appoint
ed to fill the vacancy. This neces.
STATED the closing of thekindergarten
department for the remainder of the

UNCONSTITUTIONAL.
Attorney General Holds the 1 Cent per
Ton Tax Unconstitutional.

Attorney General Holds the 1 Cent per
Ton Tax Unconstitutional.
The decision of Attorney General
Childs holding that the law taxing
the output Of iron mines one cent per
ton in lieu of all other taxation, as
unconstitutional and authorizing
Auditor Halden to place all mining
properties on the tax list has aroused
great.deal of speculation as to what
the mining companies will do about
it,
The decision of the attorney general
places the proposition at direct issue,
and it is improbable that those effect
ed will accept without protest. 1t
involves many interesting problems
among them the basis of valuation.
If the taxes already paid were invalid
it is suggested that they must be re-
funded. 1t is not in the
interest of the independent mine
owner. If General Child's interpreta-
tion of the constitution is sustained
ST. Louis county will be beneficiary,
as under the one cent law one-half of
the amount collected was diuerted
from the county into the state
treasury. 1t will also reduce the rate
Of taxation of other property owners.
The attorney general says: 1.-THE
act in question was enacted in the
very infancy of mining operations in
this state, and was evidently designed
to foster the same and encourage their
development. However wise and
salutary the provisions of such law,
/ am unable to reach any other con-
clusion than that they are clearly in
violation of the constitution and
void"
Under the 1881 statute, the iron
companies of st. Louis county last
year paid in taxes to the state and
county between $4,000 and $4,000.
One-half of the 1-cent-a-ton tax goes
to the county, SO that the sum that
found it's way into the state treasury
was between $4,000 and $4,000
Under the attorney generals ruling,
providing the courts uphold it, the
state will not be benefited to the
extent of SO per cent of the tax, for
the state levy, for all purposes, is
only about mills. The states share
of the iron tax would be figured on
this 3-mill basis; as it is figured for
all other taxable property. The chief
beneficiary, under the proposed new
deal, would be ST. Louis county and
| the school districts of the county.
From $4,000, the sum paid in taxes
last year, the iron companies, if the
attorney general is right, will here
after pay at least $4,000; it may go
as high as 100000. The states share
being only the 3 mills spoken of, it
will readily be seen how much of a
benefit ST. Louis county will receive
in case the courts decide the attorney
general to be right.
The state auditor for a long time
has held that the 1-cent-a-tOn tax was
unconstitutional. AS long ago as the
legislative session of 1895, he discussed
the question with members of the
house and senate, and tried to bring
about legislation that would straight
en- out the tangle. In this, however,
he was unsuccessful. Further investi-
CATION confirming him in the position
which he had taken, he at length
decided to refer the whole question to
the attorney general. The result of
that reference has already been
stated.
