St. Louis County Miners.

The state census bureau has issued
a bulletin, showing the number OF
miners in st. Louis county, and
classifying them according to the
number of months they have been EN-.
ployed during the year. The state
ment includes only the skilled miners
and not the laborers. In all cases the
census returns were not full, so there
is some discrepancy between the
number of miners in the county and
the total number given as having en-
ployment. The statement shows that
there are 3,500 miners in the county.
OF these. 1877 have been employed less
than three months in the past year:
342 belong to the class employed foT
two, four and five months: 716 to the
six. seven and eight-month class: I5f
to the 9, 10 and 11-month class. and
I.212 were employed the full L.
months. In this city Soudan and
Biwabik. where the underground
mines are located, the men were
generally employed the whole year
while on the surface mines they were
employed Tor part Of the year.

the parts and did them to the salts

In the second part, the ''Frolics of

The flash lights and the descriptive
music seemed to please the audience.
The echo cornet solo by the Whit

A Duty ON Lumber.

All over the northern part of the
country, action is being taken to in
fiuence the restoration of a duty on
lumber, has been urged for some time
past in the columns of this paper.
| The lumbermen's meeting at Mime
apolis last week was the last to pass
resolutions urging such restoration
1t now seems to be the general desire
that specific duty of 81 per thousand
feet be plased on imported lumber,
leaving logs to come in duty free.
Under the provisions of the Mckinley
law, duty 81 per thousand feet was
levied on sawed boards, plank. deals.
and other lumber of hemlock, white
wood, sycamore, white pine and bass
wood" and duty of 81 per thousand
feet was charged on sawed lumber
not specifically provided for in this
act as well as 30 cents additional
for each side planned or finished;
tonguing and growing added so cents
to the planed duty.
The idea now, as We understand it,
is to secure the passage of an act
which shall prevent unjust COMPETE
ton by Canadian lumber, which by
reason of securing a ridiculously low
rail rate cannot only be laid down in
Eastern American markets cheaper
than the Northwestern product. but
cheaper than that made in the
Saginaw valley. According TO our
understanding, large Canadian pro-
Queer has rail rate to New York
city cheaper by cents per thousand
feet than obtained from the Saginaw
valley. Thus. it will be seen that the
Canadian government through itssub
sidiZed railroads does for its lumber
interests just what this government
has refused to grant direct. The dis
elimination, to which this govern
ment by the removal of the tariff on
lumber became party, is not only
unjust, but unpatriotic. 1t is practi-
cally placing bonus at the command
of Canadian manufacturers.
According to late dispatches from
Washington, the coincident financial
and tariff measures which the DOM
inant party in the house proposes TO
pass. will place lumber on basis Of
the horizontal advance of so per cent.
We imagine that specific duty of 81
per Thousand feet would be more
satisfactory to the lumber interests
than an ad valorem duty, though the
intention as referred to above is not
made clear. 1t is apparent. however,
that action should be taken imme-
ldiately, in view of the change in the
prospect for earlier legislation at the
hands of the present house.-North'

MIN|NCNOTES

Three steam shovels have been con-

mine will be shipper in 1886.
The Mesaba, the infant OF iron ranges,
took first prize for shipments this
year. the total being 2, 76o. eco ton, and
it is now amusing to note the COM
ments or lack of comments in the Old
range papers. The Mesaba, as pre-
dicted by the Enterprise nearly three
wars a9o. is in the lead and we have
the ore. the railroad facilities and the
hacking behind our furnace mix

Cant. Roberts returned from Michi-
van Tuesday and yesterday the pumps
were shut down at the Cincinnati

reason Is inability to sell the
ore. The sales agents of Cleveland
are at work formiag pool similar to

to fix prices and regulate outputs Tor

plan and their program is known, the
small concerns in the mining business
can do nothing in the way OF despos-
ing of their ores. Capt. Roberts said
he had been informed by letter from

not to be obliged to fight for the land.
Beyond question it is wet and unfit
for cultivation: it is swamp land, and
as such, by virtue of the act of con-
gress OF March II. 1860, is the property
of the state of Minnesota, and was
selected by me for state institutions

1t is wonder to me that that Noun
tain Iron REIMBURSEMENT has never
been aired in the newspapers. Here
is theme worthy of that writer's
fertile brain and facile pen. That
Mountain Iron property is said to be
worth 5000, 900 today.
LET me say, however, that the
statement to the effect that this Office
has already issued mineral lease Of
the land to f. A. Brown, of Duluth,
is erroneous. So far as / know no
person of that name has ever applied
for lease. / have been and am
following the law strictly, as find it.
by the way, understand that up
in Duluth rumors are floating about
to the effect that in pushing this
claim of the state, l am only after
blood money from the Minnesota Iron
company, and that / have employed
John c. Judge, of Minneapolis, to do
the job. Well, those iron company
fellows must say something, suppose,
but they will have more than a sham
battle on their hands before we are
through with this case.
mr.. Judge is young lawyer whom
1 have known fonmany years and in
whose integrity and ability 1 have
even confidence. I consider that he
is peculiarly fitted to represent me in
this matter, as, to my knowledge, he
has handled some Of the most inn
portant and intricate land cases that
have arisen in the state in recent
years. On land litigation 1 consider
him the peer of any lawyer in the
state, or in the country, for that
matte.
so the Minnesota Iren compyny
people claim that the land is not
swamp, do they? Well, now, the COM
pany is a twin sister, as it were, OF
the Duluth & Iron Range Railroad
company, the stockholders in each
corporation being almost identical,
and let me tell you tnat the agents OF
the Duluth & Iron Range company
have been in here endeavoring to
have me select the land for them as
swamp land to which they claim to be
entitled under an alleged swamp land
grant from the state. But am not
in the selecting business for that com
pany at present.
