"Times have been improving stead
lily for the past six or eight weeks on
the range, " said DR.. Stuart Bates of
Virginia Saturday in Duluth. "If
there is an idle man in Virginia / do
not know who he is. The Mountain
Iron paid out $4,000 in wages last
Thursday, and. take it all round,
there is now a large volume of money
going out in the channels of trade in
the range towns every month.

sold 400, 900 tons Of ore, and the Drake

a new body of ore. There will be in

that permanent and healthy con-

Improvement, and believe that we
shall realize it. ~
The shipments Of ore from the
Mahoning property now amount to
about 200 cars per day. At no pre-
vious time III the history Of the
property has the amount of ore sent
forward from the Mahoning been as
great as now. The shipments of ore
to the head Of the lakes at the pres
ent time amount to about 10000 tons
Ia day Some days the amount is
from 1000 to 1900 tons less, and
sometimes it is in excess of 10000
tons. There has never been a spring
when the outlook was considered
gloomier for the iron industry than
the past spring, and people are find
ing difficulty in convincing themselves
that, whatever may be the conditions
elsewhere, they are not so very bad in
Minnesota.
Every week there are new evidences
in support Of the belief expressed
some weeks ago that the shipments
of ore from Duluth and vicinity will
be greater this year than they ever
were before. Duluth is regarded by
many as the coming holder of the
banner ore shipping record Of the
lakes. People that are in position to
make good estimates say that Duluth
will ship 1850, 900, and Superior 6oo,-
900 tons of ore this season.

Somewhat of l. Angler Himself.

EX-Mayor Pattison is something of
an angler himself, says the Superior
Inland Ocean While on his recent
trip to the gold country by way of the
small lakes north of Ely he discovered
lake which fairly swarms with
trout. The water referred to is Lake
Agnes, which is two or three miles
wide and about twenty-five miles
long and is located near the Canadian
border, He said that all that is
necessary is to drop the line into the
water and there will be from fifteen
to twenty great, big trout fighting
for the chance to grab the bait. But
/ will draw the curtain here and call
the attention of the lovers of the pis-
catorial art to a remarkable discovery
which the ex-mayor made a couple of
summers ago while at his summer
cottage at Burnside lake. The dis
coyery was made while Mr.. Pattison
was out in his canoe alone. He was
padding leisurely and quietly near
the shore Of one Of the numerous
islands which dot the lake when he
noticed a strange disturbance in the
water close to the shore. He stopped

padding and awaited Developments.
Some large bushes on which wild
berries grew in profusion oyerhung
the water. some Of the limbs being
only a foot or two above the surface.
Well, to cut the story short, the cause
of all the commotion was this: There
were six or eight big trout-trout are
very fond OF berries, you know-who
did not propose to wait until the
berries dropped into the water Of
their own accord. so they were leap
ing OFT OF the water and picking the
berries themselves. Mr.. Pattison sat
and watched them at their sport for
several hours. They would retreat
ten or fifteen yards. ard take a good
big start and would sometimes jump
as high as three feet above the water.
neatly pick the berry they ilad aimed
at and retire to quietly enjoy she
dainty morsel. Mr.. Pattisan did not
say whether they used sugar and
cream, but no doubt they had some
special fayorings of their own. If
any one has any doubt Of the veracity
of the above statement, all he has to
do is to ask DR.. Conan The ex-mayor
told him Of his discovery as soon as
he got back to the cottage.

NotWith standing the Unfavorable Conditions
This City VIII Celebrate the Dayof
National Independence.
SA T URDAY, JULY 8
The Railway Conductors Excursion Switched
Off for Tower Where They Will
Celebrate.


Mahan received word from the
3 Brotherhood of Railway Conduct
ors, that they would run an excur-
sion to Ely providing this city
would furnish them celebration,
As the people which would follow
the excursion would number near
iy 500 at . small estimate, a meet
iag wes called to. take steps to-
yards getting up a celebration.
The meeting was held Monday
evening at the City hall. NJ. f.
Gleason was elected tenn orary
chairman and stated the object of
the meeting in o clear and concise
manner after which Mayor Nc
bIahan was appointed permanent
chairman and nj. 81. Gleason per-
lnanent secretary.
After q motion to celebrate was
seconded aud carried a committee
to lie known rs an executive COM
inittee was elected whose duties it
was made to solicit subscriptions
and make othor necessary arrange
lnanta. The committee appointed
was as fellows Grant McA1ahan,
Jonn Gaoese, filie8sen.14
r. Gleason, Fred Herriman and
3. j. Poirier.
The committee not lingering
and Immediately started in among
those present and in less than ten
minutes something like $3.50 had
been subscribed. The success at
tanned was very fiattering and it
was decided to celebrate on July
5th, which date was wired to the
committee Of conductors. In
answer, a message was received
the next morning saying they
would be in Ely on the 18th.
A. d. EIiefsen was elected treas
tlrer for this year and Grant Nc
Mahan president Of the day.
After making necessary arran-
gemeDts it was aseertained by
message later that as in all proba-
bilitg the railroad would work on
Monday, and Saturday was to be
the general holiday the 'sGons'
could not come to Ely, but would
celebrate III Tower on the Third.
Another meeting will be held
next Saturday evening to finish
the final arrangements for cele-
bration on July Sd. Enough
money has been secured for a
celebration which viii surpass
anything ever before held here,
and it is q recognized fact that Ely
has had some good ones. An
effort viii be made to get in an.
excursion from Duluth, good
ball club from Duluth, Ashland or
St. Paul, also some bicycle riders
and the Duluth Gun clubs. At
any rate Ely will have celebra-
ton, in fact, we will have two as
the picnic and good time projected
for the younger generation at
Sandy Point will also take place.
With the ball, the bicycle track
and all the other parks running in
full blast, there is no doubt the
citizens will find amusement
enough to put in the day:
There is O rumor ahoat that the
Duluth & Iron Range officials have
decreed that no excursion train
would run to this city on Saturday.
If this is the case, it is not right
to discriminate in favor of Tower.
We do not believe it and think the
train which brings the railroad
mems excursion to Tower can also
be run through to ely, thus CIV
ing those who wish to come to
this city q chance to do so.
We will have celebration and
don't you forget it. Full par
ticulars later.
