will not be altogether painless. Some
finished material markets have given
slight encouragement in the week.
Better specifications on structural CON
tracts are noted at Pittsburg and
Chicago finds some increased demand
for bars and structural material.
Both centers note enlarged inquiry.
Prices have not been helped; indeed,
deeper cuts have been made on some
sales of bars and angles in the Central
West. Products beginning with wire
rods are quite active, but rods are
bought at the lowest prices, the Pitts
burg basis of 5000 being shaded on
recent business by an outside mill.
In the Pittsburg district local Bes-
semer iron holds the market almost
entirely, though there are still some
trades of valley iron for valley steel.

Interesting to Taxpayers.

The Forfeited Sale Tax Law passed
by the last legislature is in effect III
ST Louis county. The new law offers
most liberal terms for delinquent tax
payers. Many however are ignorant
of its provisions and will in conse-
quence through delay lose advantage
Of opportunity presented by the
measure.
The act provides in substance that
all delinquent taxes Except such as
have been or may hereafter be assign
ed or sold by the state) can be paid
any time prior to June 1St, 1898, for
the original amount of taxes levied.
no interest or penalties being added
thereto.
All such delinquent taxes are sub
ject to assignment and are in more
or less demand by investors. and
when any property is assigned for
taxes the owner will be compelled to
pay all penalties and interest which
have accumulated from the time the
taxes were originally levied in order
to redeem same.
The Importance of paying up delin
quent taxes Immediately must there
fore be apparent to all who are
acquainted with the provisions of the
law. and those who are not acquaint-
ed should secure advice on the subject
by reading the law on the matter as
given in the law supplements sentout
by the MINER last week. In another
column will be found a notice from O.
Halden. county auditor, on the sub
ject which taxpayers should read,

An excursion train will leave this
city for Tower next Sunday morning
at O'Clock taking down the Ely bal.
club and their friends where in the
afternoon the first ball game of the
season will be played. The gun club
will also in all probability go to try
conclusions with the Towers.
The ball game promises to be very
interesting as some good material is
contained in both towns. The Tower
boys have been strengthened by the
acquisition Of McCallum and Lackie
of Duluth. While the Ely boys have
not had a great amount of practice
we think they will put UP good
game and give the Tower boys hard
pull. The fare for the round trip
| is S1.00.
Friday evening the base ball boys
give a dance at the Turf hall to
which all are invited. Good music
has been secured and a rafting good
time will be had. Everyone should
attend and give the boys lift.

shines upon novelsts of genius. In THE Beth
