BIWABlK BENSEMER CHANGES
HANDX.

A<4NDOs
An assignment by the Biwa.
blk Bessemer company of the
lease of the Biwabik mine on the
Mesaba to the Biwabik Mining
company, a new corporation that
has been formed to operate the
mine, was filed in the Office of
the register of deeds yesterday.
The owners of the new con-
Germ are the Brier Hill Iron and
Coal company and the Youngs
town Steel company, both OF
Youngstown, Ohio, and Tod,
Stambaugh & Co., who have
been in the mine since the begin.
ming of operations. BY the new
deal P. L. Kimberly and A. M.
Byers, who have been interested
IN the mine, the former the
original lessee, have been let
out. 1t is understood that several
other consuming concerns, ad.
ditional to the two mentioned as
buyers, are interested in the
purchase, so that the mine will
be operated more largely than
ever in the interest of consuming
companies. It is also under.
stood that the mine will be
wrought far more extensively
then ever before, and that next
year, after the new owners have
had time to shape themselves,
they will make the mine q hum.
mer.
In the past few days the roy
atty has been reduced from so
and IS cents to 80, which con.
.cession will operate toward a
very much larger business. J
M. Williams, the fee holder, cuts
his royalty to 20 cents. and the
Lake Superior Consolidated Min
ing company, the lessee, cuts it's
royalty to 10 cents. The COD
sideration of the transfer is 1912,

1T THE SPARTA.

E. G. St. Clair, of the Sparta
Iron company, was in the { city
Tuesday. Responsive to- in
quiries made by an. Enterprise
reporter, Mr.. St. Clair stated
that at present about 275 men
were employed at the Sparta
mine, divided between Winston
Bros. and Gulbranson Bros,
stripping contractors, and the
mining company. He stated
that Wioston Bros. and Gulbran
son Bros: were each using. one
shovel in their stripping work
and that the mining company
had one shovel stripping and one
loading ore. Asked his opinion
relative to the ore rate suit, 1Mr.
st. Clair stated that he did not
believe aught would come Of the
present case; that while he was
interested in independent min
ing property, he had considered
the matter thoroughly and |had
decided to not enter the present
suit as one of the plaintiffs, for
reasons which he succinctly
stated, but that he hoped and
believed that . lower ore rate
should and would prevail at q
future time. ...=.. T.. s. ..r...>. !

There are now three battalion adju-

dropped. There were three battalion SER
geant- jors These have been dropped,

The clothing furnished the Second Reg
iment here Is unlike. Trousers are OF

The court of inquiry, to examine the
charges against the management Of the
hospital of the Second Regiment, finds
that from the testimony there is not evil
dence sufficient to prove any incompe-
tency on the part OF the hospital corps.
1t is the opinion OF the court that the
chief surgeon should exercise more dill
gence and energy in properly symtema-
tizing the hospital work. There still ex-
lists TO some extent lack of both Of sys-
TEN and cleanliness. Owing to the want
of a better system some men have been
neglected. and for the first few weeks
the hospital was badly organized.

THE PUBLIC HEALTH.

Governor Tyler's statement that there
is no yellow fever at Fort Monroe, made
while on visit there, and after he haC
full opportunity to acquaint himself with
the facts, will carry conviction with it
We hope, however that that scare has
\ not been without good effect. 1t ought
TO make the quarantine officers OF Vir-
ginia very vigilant. indeed. So long as
this war lasts. and so long as our ships
by the dozen are plying between Ameri-
can and Cuban ports, we shall have cause
to fear that yellow-fever may be intro
duced into this country.
If il should reach Fort Monroe 1t may
spread from there TO Norfolk, Newport
News, Petersburg, and Richmond. 1t is
true yellow-fever patients have been
brought here on several occasions. and
that the disease has never spread; but
who knows that when the next case
comes here the fever will not spread?
Numbers of cities and towns that long
imagined they enjoyed a special i'm
munity from the disease have, in recent
the contrary.
The greater part of Richmond is beau
tifully situated for hygienic purposes.
The drainage is excellent, and we do not
believe any southern city has better
culvert system than ours. Yet there are
portions of our city that are very low or
fiat, For instance. the penitentiary bot
tom is a low and unclean place. and
needs constant watching. So, too, are
the borders OF Shockoe creek. Then
there is large area of territory in Jack
son Ward which is high, but fat ground.
Amy one who passes through the back
allies OF the neighborhoods referred to
will receive very different impression
from that which he obtains when walk
ing along the sidewalks.
And then there are still hundreds OF
families here that use well or spring
water Of doubtful purity. Our city
would far better establish a number OF
free hydrants where needed than let
that sort of thing go on.
If we were TO crush out every sugges-
ton Of duty that We owe to our poor, it
should be enough TO move us TO know
that If a contagious disease should gain
a foothold in those wretched tenement
houses, it would almost certainly spread
to the best sections OF our city. Why
should 1t not do so, when those locali-
ties are the resorts of our cooks. nurses,
and washerwomen? Therefore, the Dis
patch would have the public concern It
self much more than it does about the
health OF the people who live in the tene-
ment houses Of this city.
Richmond has been unusually healthy |
during all this season, and we wish to keep |
up our enviable record in that respect. |
More than that--we should so fortify |
ourselves against the invasion of disease, |
that should the yellow-fever appear any
where in Virginia not the slightest alarm
would be felt here.

The trio's offence was that OF posting in

ed Remember the Maine" Readers were
also advised in the print to Buy the

would cause a riot; hence his indignation

Rear-Admiral Dewey has officially ex-
pressed to the Washington authorities his
opinion that the insurgents OF the Philip

than the Cubans are. In his dispatches
his references to Aguinaido have general
ly been OF complimentary character.
The work of reconstruction has been be-

Court Of Justice have been forced to re-
sign by General Shafter. These gentlemen
wished to refer to Madrid the question
whether they should recognize the sover-
eighty OF the United States in Santiago"
Shafter told them that they must recog-

got out.
some Of the newspaper rivals of the
New York World have charged it with
accusing the New York Seventy-frst
Regiment OF cowardice at the battle on

The Tidewater Democrat, which Is pub
lished at Tappahannock, Essex county,
says:
Fredericksburg is about the only city
in Virginia which has shown an apprecia-
ton of the fact that the trade of the
lower Rappahannock country and the
Tidewater section is worth securing. The
enterprising businessmen of that place
expend large amount OF money annu-
ally in advertising throughout this Sec
ton, and are doing everything possible
to encourage our people TO trade with
them, and We are gratihed to learn that
the trade of Tidewater Virginia Is going
to Fredericksburg in preference 10 Balti-
more, for II is good business policy for
our people 10 spend their money within
their own State"
We do not begrudge Fredericksburg any
trade she has with the flower Kappa
hammock and the Tidewater section" On
the contrary, we commend her business
men for the enterprise they have shown
in this matter. Yet, at the same time,
we would suggest that the Democrats re-
marks are worthy of being seriously pom
dercd by the businessmen OF Richmond.
And this view Is accentuated by the fact
that our Tappahannock contemporary has
been laboring zsalously to get the Rich
mond people interested in a movement to
build a railroad between this city and
Tappahannock.

A Gratifying Decision.
0ynchburg NeWs.)

AT last the vexed question is settled, and
settled right. The so-called Battle Abbey
or Confederate Memorial Institute, is TO
be located in Richmond. Other cities
contested for the honor, but the claims Of
Richmond were recognized as being pre-
eminently well founded. Richmond has
already done more than any other city
in collecting and preserving Confederate
memorials. Richmond was the capital OF
the Confederacy, and for four long years
its capture was the chief object of the
Federal Government. With the fall Of
Richmond fell the Confederacy. In the
history Of the war Richmond holds the
most conspicuous place. II is in accord
with the eternal fitness Of things that
the Memorial Institute should be located
In that city Now that the question of To-
cation has been decided. il is hoped thar
contributions will flow in, and that the
$4,000 needed TO duplicate the gift Of
Mr.. Rouss will soon be secured. We con-
graduate Richmond and Virginia on the
success of the effort to secure the prize.
which will add one more attraction to
our beautiful capital city,

FOR THE PEOPLE TO ANSWER.

Several days ago we reproduced. from
the Boston Herald a revenue estimate, in
which that paper put the yield from the
new revenue act at 800, 800 a year, in
stead of $3.50, 900 year, as estimated
by the trainers OF the act. Since then
the Treasury officials have admitted that
the yield will probably reach the former
| figure. The promise, therefore. taking
the receipts at the current July rate, Is
for a revenue of about s56O,0OO,OoO per an
mum. Our Boston contemporary, in its
issue Of Saturday. calls attention to the
agreement between the admission of the
Treasury officials and its own estimate.
and then asks:
IF the war by any blessed chance
should come TO an end-and with so much
peace talk in the European air there is
possibility that this may happen any
month--what would Uncle Sam do with a
revenue of $3.50 10000 a year?'
or, in other words as the Herald ex-
plains, it would like TO know what is 10
be done with the big surplus that will re-
main. even "after allowing for large in
crease of naval and military expenditures
on peace basis and for a loss Of revenue
on sugar through the extension of our
national domain over some, If not ALL of
the sugar-producing islands which now
belong TO SPAIN"
The Herald's question is one for the
people 10 answer at the polls. We said
the other day in an article discussing this
matter that If the people permit the Re-
publican party 10 continue in power that
party will find way to spend every dol
lar that may come into the Treasury. AS
the Lynchburg News, in an article en-
dorsing this comment, puts il: 1.-The Re-
publican party has never found any diff
Guilty in getting away with revenue. If
that party remains in power an annual
surplus of a hundred million or so would
melt away like snow before an April sun.
1t would only be necessary to pass a few
more pension bills and the thing would be
done. There need be no fear that the
government will suffer from an embar-
rassment of riches and no one need in
dulge the hope that war taxes will cease
with the war"
On the other hand, II the people return |
the Democratic party to power the sur
Plus will be gotten rid of in the way the |
Herald suggests is ''the best way"-by |
cutting down the war taxes and leaving |
the money in the pockets OF the tax-pay- |
ers. where II can best bear fruit for the |
industrial growth Of the United States.
