cording to the 1hedeH classification,
taking nine lines as an average it
would necesSitate paying a tax of
1000 per annum unless the dealer
wished to dispense with four OF those
lines. and he submitted that no
furniture store carrying but five lines
of goods, could conduct a successful
business. A grocery store would carry
a. least seven, and many of the drug
stores as high as nine lines of goods.
The latter, however. expressed a will

lines. A dealer doing a business of
81. $50 per annum, carrying five lines,
must raise his prices seven per cent to
pay his occupation tax.

of $3.50 a ton for an ore carrying 81

Monday the first shipments OF iron
ore were made to the Two Harbors
docks. Is cars were hauled out Of the
Fayal yards neal Eveleth by Engineer
Hillman and Conductor Smith bound
for Two Harbors. This is the earliest
shipments ever began in the iron ore

prices ever made for the latter.
Mines that were pumped out under
81 ore will lie idle and many of the
smaller properties will be unable to
operate under the new scale of prices.
Ii business reaches the proportions
of some calculations, the ability of
the larger producers to supply the
demand may be taxed to such an
prices will naturally advance. This
is the chief basis of any encourage
ment that car be extracted from the
situation. 1t needs not be said that
wages in the Marquette district,
which have been maintained pending
the decision reached this week, and
other districts. must stand a reduc-
ton. Nermilion range wages may be
expected to go lower, and it will be
an open question whether even the
present level Of wages at some Gogebic

be justified by the price OF the

SCHOOL FUNDS.
Tower school Board Will Look Into the
Matter.

1OWtT ScnOO1 HCaFu VIII LOOK IHtO She
Matter.
The trustees OF the various county
schools met it Duluth Tuesday and
talked over the financial situations Of
the various districts. j. d. Murphy.
treasurer of District No. 9 of Tower,
just~before the close of the meeting
said that the condition of the Tower
school was very bad: that they We're
$1,000 in debt, not counting the 500
Cue yesterday for teachers salaries:
that the bank was tired OF carrying
the district, and that the apportion-
ment about to be received would
amount to but about S2,100.
He went on to say that notwithstan-
ding the additional tax on mines, the
appropriations this year had been
smaller than ever before. and asserted
that the board at Tower had come to
tie conclusion that either they We're
not getting all that they should or
that there was something radically
wrong somewhere. He said that the
Tower board had decided to employ
an attorney to investigate and find
out whether or not the apportioD-
ments were correctly made, and asked
the experience OF the other districts.
The general sentiment seemed TO be
that none were getting enough to run
the schools properly. but some
thought that as the taxes came IN
things would be better. MIR. Murphy
said that the investigation was going
to be made and asked the representa-
tiyes of the various boards to carry
the matter before the trustees and
ask them TO assist.
1t was finally determined that the
clerk of the Tower board notify the
clerks of the various boards through
out the county of just what action Is
needed. and a number OF those present
pledged their influence to assist In
securing improvement in some
manner.
The meeting decided that the plan
of hiring teachers on contract Is adj
vantageous only TO the teacher. n
the trustees throughout the county
will be asked to abolish it.
Superintendent Stultz spoke at
length on the necessity Of uniformity
of text books. 1t was decided to
secure this uniformity as fast as prac-
ticable.
A resolution was adopted recon-
mending that teachers be furnished
at the expense of the districts with
cards for reporting monthly to
the parents the progress of the pupils.
also a resolution that teachers DE
asked to inculcate so far as is possible
in the minds of the pupils the senti-
ment Of patriotism.

Foley gold mines, for such they are,

latest figures at hand that are reii-

the No. 5 down 113 feet in a l9-inch
vein; the Lucky Joe, down 10 feet in
I4-inch vein; and the No. 8, down 81
feet in IA 54-inch vein. The other
shafts are down from 10 to 20 feet in
various sized veins. The average
width of the Jumbo vein is 81 feet.
The vein has an outcrop of I.l00 feet
in length and the quantity OF ore is
estimated at 300, 600 tons, with an
assay value of 81 per ton. There is
a cross-cut of 100 feet from the

a depth OF 100 feet.
The total depth Of the shafts on
the property is 469 feet, the total
length of the drifts 6l0 feet, total
depth of the winzies l25 feet. and the
