IEWS FROM THE IRON MINES.
INTERESTING NOTES RELATIVE TO
OUR PRINCIPAL INDUSTRY.
Mesab0 and Other Iron RaMHes.

Mesabo and Other Iron Ranges.
In the United States court of
appeals at St. Louis, on Mon
day, Judges Caldwell, of Arkan-
sas. Thayer, Of st. Louis and
Sanborn, of Minnesota, sitting,
arguments were begun in the
greatest case, in some respects,
that has ever been before the
courts of this country. John D.
Rockefeller, president of the
Standard Oil Co, is the defend
ant. The amount inv olved is
approximately $1.000,0O0. At
the trial of the case on it's mer-
its, in the circuit court at Du-
luth, before Judge Riner and a
jury, verdict was given for the
plaintiff, Alfred Merritt, Jr., for
$940,000. Mr.. Rockefeller's in-
terests are represented by Mr..
George w. Murray, of New
York, and associates. The plain
tiff is represented by A. A. Har~
ris, of Duluth, and associates.
In August, 1892, the Merritts,
who had the controlling interest
in some iron mines in St. Louis
county, valued at 10,80O,OO0
went into a deal with Rockefel-
ler. A new company was form.
ed, known as the Lake Superior
Mining company, and the Mer-
ritts received stock in the new
company in exchange for their
interests. Merritt, in his origi-
nal bill, charges that he and his
partners were invei]ged into the
deal by the fraudulentrepresent-
ations of Rockefeller as to the
value of the properties he con-
trolled. He alleges that Rookie
fellee represented his mines to
be in a prosperous, dividend
paying condition, whereas, the
contrary was the case; that while
Rockefeller agreed to a valua-
of $40, 100000 on the Merritt
properties, they were really
worth between 100000 and
s14, 100000, and that they sub
sequent]y discovered that, while
they yielded their interest for
stock in the consolidated Com.
pany, Rockefeller retained for
his part bonds to the value of
$4,000, 600 on the properties to
which the stock held by the Mer-
ritts was subject.
The Lake Superior Consolldat-
ed Iron Company has secured an
option on the Mesabi Chief pro-
perty, twelve miles west Of Hib-
bing, and has put up a cash for
felt of SIS, 600. It is understood
that the price to be paid is $50,
600. This property is owned by
a stock company. Prominent
among the stock holders is Capt.
John Mailman and Mr.. Mishler
and others of Duluth. A consid-
cradle quantity of high grade
Bessemer has been shown up Oh ;
the property. |
The price of carbons for dia-
mond drill work has ju nped
from $22 to *25 per karat. This ,
is an advance of s6 per karat in
side of eight weeks and of about
SO in twelve weeks. In a letter
to a dealer here one of the dia-
mond drill firms says: "Carbons
continue exceedingly scarce and
the demand for them in South
Africa and other parts of the
world is constantly increasing.
While this state of affairs lasts
we can not see any chance for
an easier market.

A Terrible Accident.

Little Herbert Luke, aged nearly
eleven years, son Of Mrs Carrie Luke,
Of this city, met his death suddenly,
on last Thursday afternoon, in tn"
elevator of the WOODEN mills. Mr.,
sherman, engineer at the mills, boards
at the home of Mrs. Luxe, and Her
bert was sent to the mills with his
dinner. After dinner the engineer
told the boy that he had better go
nome, as it would be dangerous for
him to remain about the building.
The boy started for home but re-
entered the building unnoticed. AT
about five o'clock in the evening, the
slipping of belt on the elevator
machinery apprised the employees on
the third door that something was
wrong. On opening the door Of the
shaft on the third floor, the body of
young Luke was discovered. 1t was
caught between the elevator and the
casing of the door leading into II. 1t
is generally supposed that the boy
did not suffer long but that the dis
covery was made moment after the
accident occurred. The news was
received with sorrow by everyone,
The mother has been brayely lighting

pathy and many acts of kindness ex-
tended, but cold and unfeeling in

not deeply feel for the bereayed ones
in such an hour.
The funeral took place on last sat
urday afternoon, Rev Thomas Kent
officiating. The schoolmates of the
deceased attended in a body, and
brought flowers to place upon the
coffin

Mrs. Mary H. Smith.

The funeral Of Mrs. Mary II. Smith,
relict of W. L. Smith. and mother Of
Hon. j. Montgomery Smith, and
whose death we noticed in our last
issue, took place from Trinity church
last saturday. Her maiden name was
NanDyke; was born in Alabama in
the year 1905, and So She was in the
9lst year at her death Her husband
was an eminent Mason and an official
of Wisconsin and its first historian.
At the funeral there was no address,
but her rector, Kew. Nj. Chase, in his
Sunday morning sermon. on the text
"Soa of man. stand upon thy feet,
and l will speak unto thee" referred
most happily to her. He said the text
suggested the idea of youth and
strength. The time was when the
aged rejoiced in the glory Of youth
and strength; but the time has come
to them and is coming to us all, when
life in its hopes can no longer say
stand on thy feet; and 50 we think of
the funeral in this church Yesterday
1t was the burial of the oldest COM
municant of Trinity parish one who
could be named among its founders.
and among its most loyal supporters,
and among those who helped to place
the parish on its feet in organization
and equipment to do its work. Her
length of days, which gathered in al,
most a century, took her out of active
service and took from her the strength
to stand where she stood for her
church in her womanly strength, and
so while the physical in her was so
prostrate before the opportunities for
Christian work, yet the spiritual in her
was always on its feet, as seen in her
abiding trust in God and loyalty to
His cause. Here the rector spoke at
length of the wonderful fact that her
life, which began in 1905 and ended in
1896, covered the most strikingly in
teresting periods in human history
1905 1896 what vast changes these
years represent! How wide apart
when measured by these changes!
How very near when we think Of etcr-
nifty, and how that time is always on
its feet, never prostrate.
