Greenwood Suicides.

George G.. Greenwood, well known
in this city, having been one of the
pioneers here and heavily interested
in real estate in Ely's early day, COM
mittcd suicide in Duluth Friday by
shooting. He leaves a wife and
daughter to mourn his untimely de-
mise.
Mr.. Greenwood was As years old. He
was born in Newport, Ohio; was grad
uated from Marietta college, and as a
young man settled in Bay City, Mich,
where he became partner of O. D..
Chaplin in the lumber and salt trade.
He continued prosperously there until
1882, when he moved to Duluth. There
he engaged in the wholesale hard
ware trade, under the name of George
C. Greenwood & Co., establishing the
house that is now known as the Mar
shall Wells Hardware company. His

Phe Iron Range Cut-On.

The Drake 81 Stratton company

with the exception of four miles at
the upper end. From these four
miles about 800, 900 yards of earth
will have to be removed, and in order
to accomplish it in time machinery
will have to be used, so it will not be
sub-let. The sub-contraets will prob
ably all be let this week. Three or
four gangs of men have commenced
work at this end clearing the right
of-way. 1t is thought that when the
work is well under way that a force
OF between 500 and loco will be en-
ploped until the contract is COM
pleted, which will be by May 1 next.

The effect of the Gogebic acquisitions
on estimates of the ore situation in
1896 is not pronounced. In some
quarters it is regarded as opening the
way to u more inclusive agreement on
Bessemer ores-one that shall take
in the Mesabi as well as Old-range
properties. 1t is held that the
large differential against Mesabi ores
this year, made by Mesabi producers
themselves, and the unsatisfactory
experience with these ores that is
admitted by the Gogebic deal, puts
Old-range companies in far better
position to get a remunerative price
than they have occupied at any time
since Mesabi pres came into the
market. The interests of the lead
ing Pittsburg company in the main
tenence of profitable price for ore,
and the certainty that are the main
premises in the argument. In the
past week the poor dispatch at lower
lake ports due to the scarcity has
been emphasized. Vessel freights
have remained unchanged at IS, 60
and IS cents, much to the disapoint
ment of the entire vessel trade.-Iron

WrongfuIly Reported.

In the last issue of the MINER there
appeared the item headed decker
Wins" and which was given as au-
thentic, it being supposed our inform
alton was secured from reliable
sources. The item read as follows:
In the land contest case of the
United States against Nicholas
Decker, the commissioner of the
general land office has reversed the
decision of the local land Office
officials. The local officials decided
adversely to Decker, and the land
was held for cancellation. In the
decision the commissioner does not
concur. The land is near the South
all property at 100 and is considered
quite valuable"
From information secured later
from strictly reliable sources we learn
that the status of the case were ex-
actly the reverse of what was stated.
The Duluth land Office decided in
favor of Decker, which decision was
reversed by the commissioner, who
held that Decker's proof was unsatis-
factory.
There seems to be private reason
for sending out this erroneous report
regarding the decision of the Duluth
officers. The records at the land
office do not bear out the false state
ments made regarding the case.

The Market at Large.

The weakening in Bessemer pig
iron announced last week has had no
response in other lines, so far as con-
Germs prices. There is slight sla ok
ening in the buying movement,
however, and the speculative Pitts
burg iron, with the largest increase
in active furnaces, and the discussion
of the possibilities of the Carnegie
Gogebic deal are to be given credit
for the momentary pause. Sellers
are SO occupied with the urgent
demands of consumers for early
shipments that the lull is given only
passing significance. The lines in
which larger activity is promised in
1898 give SO encouraging a prospect
that confidence is general that the
ground gained will be maintained,
with the probabilities favoring
further ultimate advances. 1t is
appreciated that if only moderate adj
ditions are made to raw material and
labor costs, rolled products would be
considerably advanced. Yet the
relatively small advances made thus
far have received double interpreted
ion, The fact that prices are still
considerably short Of those secured in
the midst of last years depression is
cited as evidence Of the further gain
that may reasonably be expected. On
the other hand, it is regarded as
significant Of the permanent depart
ure of prices even SO recently prevailed
that with mills so fully occupied and
consumption SO heavy, the market
should have been so little affected.
Southern sellers ofiiron are holding
steadily for the basis established two
weeks ago, Birmingham furnaces
being firmest. Northern foundry
irons continue lower than Southern
grades. delivered in central territory.
At Chicago local iron has been
advanced 25 cents. Bessemer iron
has has had a quiet week, bnt the
speculative iron that caused the
decline has been kept off the market
and the feeling is firmer, $40 in the
valley having been Spaid. Steel for
1897 delivery is scarcely obtainable,
except through dealers.-Iron Trade

one of the leading men of the city.
In building up his fortune, however,
Mr.. Greenwood had overdone, and in
1889 he found himself obliged to retire
from an active business career, dis
posing OF his mercantile interests and
deyoting what attention he could to
fostering his real estate and landed
interests, which were very large.

MONDAYS FIRE.
Threatened ConfagratioD Narrowly
Ayerted by Prompt Action


Monday morning at about S O'Clock
an alarm of fire was turned in from
the alarm box at the corner Of First
avenue and Sheridan street and in
stantly the ''screecher' at the water
plant had the city in uproar.
Fire had been discovered in the
rear Of the Turf building, owned by
NJ. Vail and occupied by Sax s. Man
ninen as a saloon. The fire depart
ment was promptly on the spot and
in a very short space of time had
three streams playing on the burning
building which at the time the fire
was discovered was blazing high
above the roof.
Only very short time suficsd to
get the threatened confagration I'M
der control but the department
worked two good hard hours before
the fiery element had been success
fully subdued. The work done by the
department was extra good consider
ing this being their first real fire test
for a considerable period. .Ehe usual
number of on-lookers who know all
about fighting fire but whose modesty
prevents them from doing anything,
were there with their gratituous adj
vice and sneering remarks. A good
idea would be to get all of these fresh
"smart Alexis" in a bunch and sub
due their ardor and eyeryescent
mouthings by turning the hose on
them. One chief and his two assist
ants, are plenty. At Mondays fire
there were about twenty who imag-
ined they were specially ordained to
give orders.
How the fire originated is not def
-nitely known. When first discovered
it was confined to the lavatory annex
and the sGpposition is that someone
had dropped lighted cigar, match
or contents of his pipe among the
paper. The fire had secured consid-
cradle Roadway when discovered and
only for the promptness of the de-
partment and the immediate water
pressure, would in all probility have
done considerable damage. The dam
age to the building is figured at s.oout
$500. Sax g. Manninen's loss amounts
to about $1oo.
During the progress Of the fire and
while the boys were coupling on more
hose, some party started the report
that the water had given out. With
the three streams running two hours
the water in the well at the pump
house was lowered not quite three
feet.

NTha Chinook"

One of the most pleasant affairs in
the show line that has ever struck
town, was the presentation Of 1.-THE
Chinook" by Clara Louise Thompson
at the Opera house Monday evening
under the auspices of Diamond Reb-
ekah Lodge. The play is a neat little
four-act comedy which appeals strong
ly to the finer feelings. Miss Thomp-
sons reading of the various parts was
a mastery elocutionery treat and was
enjoyed by all present. Her voice is
adapted to almost any part, from a
young child to an old man, and her
portrayal of the characters of THE
Chinook" Radcliffe Rutherford, Miss
Genevieve, Mr.. Rutherford and Miss
Tillie, were most real. The accom-
panying lime light views of the scenes
of the play were good and with Miss
Thompson's clear presentation of the
characters, one would soon forget
that only one person and stereoptic-
an was giving the play, but would
imagine themselves in an Opera house
with a stage full of people. The en-
tortainment was not the financial
success it merited, which was prob
ably due to the recent visit of the
Rev. gentleman with the SIS faces,
the whiskers and the steroptican.
The Rebekah's deserve great credit

ELY FEELS GOOD.
The Prospects for Several Years of Good
Times are Remarkably Good.
Two Thousand Men Now Employed in This
Immediate Vicinity.

There is not a particle Of doubt in
our minds that the good times prom
ised. have at last put in their appear
ance, in this part of the country and
especially around Ely at least. Sim
UNANIMOUSLY with the announcement
OF the resumption Of the night shift
at the Chandler, giving employment
to 250or 300 more men, also came the
announcement of raise in pay OF ten
per cent at both the Chandler and
Pioneer mines; the striking of a large
body Of ore at 1862; the work of the
Duluth & Iron Range near town and
at Highland.
Then came the announcement OF
loco men wanted on the Fosston
branch at Duluth, and the scarcity
of men for the lumber woods. The
announcement of scarcity OF men
means much, Last year at this time
any amount of men could be hired at
almost any figure. This fall men are
very scarce and wages are constantly
increasing. If that does not mean
prosperity, we do not know what
prosperity means.
Ely especially seems to be favored
and things have shaped themselves
in such manner that leaves no doubt
in the minds Of the business men that
nrosperous times have at last come to
stay-for a time at least. During
the entire financial depression, dating
from 1898, Ely has Jared sumptuously
IN comparison to other towns which
we could name. During all this time
the county has not been called upon
for aid in single instance, barring
of course, the usual number of aids
possessed by every town. This is due
to the Suitability of our mining in
stitutions. While it may be true that
the business men of the city did not
get rich they have nevertheless pegged
through without failure and are
now willing enough to get the change.
At the least calculations there are
at present nearly 1000 men working
in Ely and it's immediate vicinity,
The supplies and clothing for the
maintainance of the larger number
of these is purchased of our home
merchants. Only with the announce
ment of the resumption ofnight work
at the Chandler, business began to
look up and when the announcement
of the raise in pay was made, the OLD
time feeling of security again took
possession. People began to make
arrangements for their winters sup
lies and business generally took on a
roseate hue. The last pay roll OF the
Chandler and Pioneer mines combined
amounted to something like S35, 900.
The increase of 10 per cent cuts quite
figure in the total and adding the
wages of from ESQ to 300 men OF the
Chandler night shift it makes quite
difference.
Taking all in consideration we
think Ely is favored financially such
IA no other town can boast OF.

The Gold Country.

Inc stamp mill at the Llttle Amerl-
can mine is being rapidly putt in shape
to pound out nice big gold bricks, says
the Rainy Lake Journal. The batter
les are in place and the big engine is
being put on it's foundation. The few
minor pieces Of machinery, such as
shafting. piping, ETC., are being put
in, and it is expected that the mill
will be ready to run in about two
weeks, In the meantime the miners
are busily working in the shaft. A
depth of IT'S feet has been attained
and the value holds good to that level.
One shift of miners is at work STOPPING
and they now have about loo tons of
fine ore on the dump ready to be
chewed up by the ten hungry stamps.
The sawmill at the mine is convert
ing logs into lumber which will be
used for finishing the stamp mill and
in and around the mine. Estimates
have been received for a compressor
and air drill plant, which will be pur-
chased and placed on the mine as soon
as possible. This will lender the
work of development far more expe-
ditious and make it possible to keep
the mill constantly supplied with ore
when it starts to run. The Lyle Min
ing company deserves great credit for
it's pluck and energy. Although little
had been said about the Little Ameri-
can, it has been quietly working, and
will soon again show its record-break-
ing qualities as gold brick producer.
j. w. ThickenS, of Appleton, Wis,
who owns extensive holdings in the
Seine River country, has just return
ed from that country says the Duluth
Herald. Mr. Thickens was never
more confident that some great mines
are to be opened up in the Seine
River country than now. The owners
of the properties are working steadily
opening up their mines, unattended
by any boom excitement, and they
are obtaining tangible results. Mr..
Thickcns received letter from a
friend in Winnipeg few days ago
informing him that the Olive mine,
better known as the Preston property,
had been sold to an English syndicate
for S75O,ooo He has suspended work
on his properties until everything is
froze up tight, when he will return
and continue his developments all
winter,
