That Warehouse.

Two weeks ago we gave publicity to
what we thought was for the best
interests of the city. Since the pub
LEGATION of the item in question we
have ascertained a few facts which
places the matter in a slightly differ
ent light. The following letter from
the Fitger company in Duluth partly
explains the matter:
EDITOR ELY MINER:
DEAR SIR:-In the issue of the
Ely Miner Of the 18th inst, you made
an attack on us, which is, to use a
mild expression, unfair. 1t further
more contains several untruths mas
much as the lumber for our storage
house was not shipped from Duluth,
and Duluth carpenters will not build
the house. We asked for bids on the
lumber from the Knox Lumber Co.,
at Winton, and the G.. NJ. Hill Lumber
Co., at Mesaba, and the bid of the
latter being thirty per cent lower, we
accepted their bid.
Our Ely storage house is being built
by Ely carpenters under the super
vision of Mr.. VIM. johnson who is the
superintendent of all our construc-
tiOnS.
We have always endeavored to build
up reputation for fairnessin all our
dealings, and we are convinced that
this instance will stand a rigid in
spection as to fairness.
Therefore il you believe after this
explanation, that you have inflicted a
wrong on us, please give Us credit for
as much as we are entitled to in your
next issue
Perhaps you will favor us with pub
| fishing this communication.
Yours truly,
A. FITGER & Co.

Favors the Homesteader.

A somewhat important decision of
the secretary of The interior in that
it strongly favors the homesteader as
against the timber and stone claimant
has been received in the Duluth land
Office. The case in which the decision
was rendered is entitled Edward j.
Bateman against John W. Carroll,
and involves lands in section 26. 67-19.
The decision is reversal of that of
the commissioner, who recommended
a cancellation of the homestead entry
on the ground that the Improvements
were SO meager as TO Indicate fraud
ulent entry on Carroll's part.
The evidence showed that Carroll
was living on the land at the time
application was made by Bateman to
enter under the timber and stone pur-
chase act, and the secretary holds
that residence on the land by the
homesteader, no matter what the inn
provements, is sufficient to defeat the
timber and stone claimant.
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1897-03-03

the past two months is sitting down
to a more definite basis every week.
Iron mining, railroad. vessel, dock,
blast furnace and steel companies
must still get profit, if there is to
be any healthy or permanent basis.
Some of the going calculations
sacrifice practical economies for sem
sation. The developments OF the
past week point to an expanding
market for Bessemer pig and steel
billets. In plain and barb wire and
in wire nails, demand has been in
creasing, and in nails there has been
81 ton advance, to S1.35, Pittsburg
and Cleveland, while wire mills quote
ST. 10 on plain wire for early deliveries
only. Inquiry for rods is greater and
5000 Pittsburg and S2l Cleveland are
quoted. The Pittsburg market for
Bessemer pig and billets has been
closely followed by buyers and sellers
in the past week. Sales OF the former
at S10.I5 and later at Sl025 have been
made, and furnacemen have moved
their quotations from 10 to % cents
above the latter figure. The pur-
chase of bllets by the Carnegie Steel
Co. has excited considerable interest,
especially since it gives some hint of
the extent TO which the company's
mills are to be employed on rails.
Billets are quoted sl5.25 to Sl5.75,
Pittsburg. and the latter figure is
held as minimum by mills; steel in
middle hands has been offered at
Sl5.25 To $3.50 Among the recent
rail sales from the Pittsburg district.
$4,000 tons for the Canadian Pacific
are said to be included.

house.

1t is matter of history, fact un-
deniable and indisputable, says the
Rainy Lake Journal, that the dis
covery of the Little American gold
mine at this city late in the fall of
1893, by George w. Davis, an Amer
lean prospector who was grubstaked
by Charlie Moore, of Rat Portage, was
the real starting point OF the gold
mining boom now raging all over
these northern wilds. The history
of the mine since its discovery has
been varied. and up to the present,
disappointing. 1t was purchased
from Davis and Moore by the late jeff
Hildreth for the Bevier Mining COM
pany, organized in Duluth. During
the year 1894 work was begun in an
unscientific and slipshod way. Then
John B. -Weimer took hold of it. but
his capital was limited. A change
came over the property last June
when the Lyle Mining company,
which had struck a snag in putting
free milling machinery on concen-
trating proposition on the Lyle mine,
took hold of the Little American and
by careful. quiet work have developed
it into one of the greatest and richest
gold mines on the American continent
today. So quietly has this work been
done, that no one outside OF Rainy

Matter.
Again the citizenship question is on
tap. The approaching city election
is bringing the subject TO mind and
considerable speculation is rife as to
who will be entitled to vote. There
seems to be no exception to the rule
that only full citizens are entitled to
participate in any election. Follow
ing are the opinions Of the attorney
general which will prove of interest
especially at this time:
/. All persons born in the United
States without regard to their paren-
tage are legal voters.
2. All persons Of alien parentage
who were minors when their fathers
obtained second papers are legal
voters.
8. That no person Of foreign birth
unless a citizen previous to the pass
age of this law, is a full citizen and
entitled to vote until the expiration
of 80 days from and after the taking
out of his second citizen papers.
4. That no foreign born person I'M
less citizen previous to the going in
to effect of this late law, is entitled
to vote at the coming election unless
he is citizen as required by the fore
going, and that al those persons hay-
ing recently taken out their second

papers, but not long enough to come
within the 80 days limit, cannot vote
at the coming election.
D. That no man can act as Judge or
clerk OF election unless a citizen ar
contemplated by this new law.

claimed by the governor, Dec. %.

Lake City. and few here. knew of
what was developing right under their
noses. But work enough has been
done on the property to open up a
vast ore body, which it is honestly
believed contains at least 81, 900. 0O0
The work on this great property so
far has been prosecuted by the general
manager O. A. WatZke, of West Su-
perior. The workings to date consists
of the old, or No. l shaft, which is
100 feet deep, but has been abandoned
for the present, because the gopher
ings" Of former operators sprung the
walls, and caused water to leak in
from the lake. The new, or No. =
shaft, is forty-five feet deep, put down
vertically in the slate. From the
bottom crosscut tunnel was run to
the north Il distance of twenty-five
feet. where a 45 degree incline was
sunk twelve feet, and from this point
a new shaft was put down forty feet,
making the deepest level now ninety
seven feet. On the 97-foOt level cross
cuts have been run twenty-five feet
to the north and no wall has been
struck. Another cross-cut on the
same level has been run south on the
vein for distance Of forty feet, and
no wall has yet been reached in that
direction either, making the known
ore body on that level sixty-fve feet
wide. On the 50-foot level. d drift
eight feet wide has been run east Il
distance of siXty-tive feet. and every
foot of it is in pay ore. All the new
workings are dry, and not drop of
water is to be found anywhere.
a larger force of men will be put on
at once, and new camps for the use of
the men will be erected. The saw
mill will be moved at once from the
Lyle mine to the Little American,
and 100000 feet of lumber will be
sawed for the use of the mine. The
Lyle stamp mill with its ten stamps
will be at once moved to the Little
American mine. and the five stamps
of the Little American mill added.
with five more: making twenty stamps
in all. If needed, as development
proceeds OIL the property, twenty or
more stamps will be added.
The ore now being put through the
little 5-stamp mill is yielding. at the
astonishing rate of $50 to $50 ton
free milling gold, besides considerable
value in the concentrates. John
Franson. one of the now famous
'.Swede boys" is down from the
Manitou, and brings cheering news
from his section. In company with
his associates he has put down shaft
forty feet on HIP 259, and will con-
tinue to at least the 50-foot level.
The property is showing up wonder
fully well. The vein is wider than
the 7-fOot shaft on that level. so its
width is not known. All OF the ore is
very rich, but there is a pay streak in
the vein that is from five to eighteen
inches in width that assays from $500
to 81, 700 free milling gold to the ton.
besides yielding concentrate worth
$500 to the ton. The BOYS have bar
gained this rich property to j. F.
Caldwell, the millionaire owner of
the famous Sultana gold mine near
Rat Portage, for $25, 900 in cash. Mr..
Caldwell has also purchased the rich
Crawford mine on the Upper Manitou
and is now putting up fine 10-stamp
mill on the property.

Officers Meeting.

A meeting of the officers of the n.
G.. H. was held in military headquar-
ters early last evening. Various mat
tiers Of business in connection with the
military were dwelt upon and dis
cussed by the large representation of
officers present The principal matter
was the decision in regard TO the Mar
lin trophy. Three contests for this
prize have already taken place, and
Company F has succeeded in carrying
off the honors twice in succession. To
carry off the trophy for good, one COM
pany must win three contests in sue
cession. At the meeting of the officers
last night Captain White suggested
that the contests take place every four
months or three times a year, instead
of every six months, or twice a year,
as heretofore, this to speed the win
ming of the trophy by some company
for good, and to allow other trophies
to. be put up. The officers were very
favorable to this and voted according

DIAMOND JUBILEE.

Change in the Program of Sports
for June %.
Last week H. B. MS Commissioner
and Consul General A. G. S. Halves
put into the hands of Mr.. Tom Wright
chairman of the Sports Committee for
the celebration of the Diamond Jubi-
lee. a gold watch and chain, which he
offered as prize in one of the events
on June 23d. It was decided to give
this in the 220yards dash. AS the
watch and chain are valued at SIS, the
contest will be one we'll worth trying
for.
Mr. Wright has arranged for anoth-
er contest on the sports program, this
to be an event in which the contestants
will have to ride mile on a Wheel
walk a mile and then run mile. I'm
dOubtedly this will awaken a great
deal of interest A money prize worth
competing for, will be provided.

ALGAROBA FERTILIZER.
DIR. Maxwell Makes Suggestions
to Rice Growers.

Dr. Maxwell says that algaroba pods
are not only good feed, but they are
also good fertilizers. The laboratory
has analysed some ripe pods. and
found per cent of ammonia; and
potash and phosphoric acid are also
present in good ratios. DR.. Maxwell
says the Cinnamon would do we'll to
use algaroba pods as fertilizer for rice;
also. for bananas, because they dis
solve slowly, and the elements are not
washed away. He says that 500 to
600 pounds of pods per acre will fur
nish all the ammonia rice crop needs.
The pods are worth probably $12 to
$15 a ton for use on rice, but are not
so valuable for cane.
