COLD FLOODED TREaCHERY.

The Duluth News Tribune,
that tail end of city journalism
which has so persistently during
the past few months snubbed the
ranges and the residents thereof
and lent their name to the politi
cal machine of the Zenith City
for use in their successful effort
to defeat the will of the people
of st. Louis county IN the mat
ter OF county division, had fit
of the blues Wednesday morning
and by way of relief poured
forth anoth dose of venom.
Among otherer things it states
that 'returns from the ranges
indicate Republican losses, due
to cold blooded treachery upon
which the News Tribune will
dwell later with emphasis"
Cold blooded treachery is
good-but is in line with the ar.
guments usually advanced by
the corrupt sheet containing the
screed. But admitting, for ar
guments sake, that it was cold
blooded treachery, is it or could
it be more so than the action of
the Duluth machine and it's
mouthpiece in their action in
thwarting the will of 5000 PEG
pie relative to county division?
The News-Tribune is counted
upon the ranges as an equal of
the Eveleth Star. It is known
as disreputable rag, which
stops at nothing for pay or
promises thereof, and so far as
the "cold blooded traitors" of
the ranges are concerned it may
dwell at any length or with any
emphasis desired upon the cause
of the light republican vote in
this section. It will not hurt
even. the feelings of range
"traitors,'' as its sputterings are
rightly accepted with contempt,
but when it finishes its promised
dwell" it should make a candid
statement of fact-that the light
republican vote of the ranges
was because of the righteous in
dignation of our people over
county division, and further, be-
cause of the fact that the infu
ence % of the News Tribune and
Eveleth Star was with the re-
publicans during the campaign.

entirely dependent on the coal
trade, ore going on the dock ex-

appeared in the ore trade of, the
year is the increased demand for
the high phosphorus ores. The
great reduction in the supply Of
mill cinder from puddle mills IS
being emphasized, as is the un-
desirability of heating furnace
cinder and scale, which is large

Sfeab ueat OF specula5ions during
the year as to whether the
Oliver Mining company would
take the Miller-Brown property
and general interest was felt in
mining circles as to whether it
would prove a big producer. All
doubt ab out the matter is set at
rest by the action of the big
mining company, The substan.
tial bonus and the long lease
speak eloquently Of the import
ance of the property. It is ex-
pected that the Savoy mine,
which is the name adopted re-
Gently by the Oliver Mining co.
for this new property, will in a
year or two rank as a producer
with, and occupy the same prom
inence that the Pioneer or Chand.
Ter now enjoy. The Oliver Min
ing company during the present
year has obtained control of the
Pioneer, Zenith and Savoy mines
on the Vermilion range. The
mining output of the Pioneer is
500, 600 tons, of the Savoy 100,.
600 tons, and of the Zenith So.
600 tons, making an aggregate
minimum output of $4,000 a
year. 1t is expected that the
company will produce not less
than 100000 for shipment from
these mioes in the aggregate
during the next twelve months.
This is practically all new bust
ess, for the Pioneer and Zenith
were operated in comparatively
small and intermittent manner
and the Savoy is new property L.
The entrance of the Oliver Min
ing company on the Vermilion
range means a great deal to the
people of Ely for il will require
hundreds Of additional men to
mine and handle the increased
ore output in that vicinity. The
Savoy mine on Section 26 was
opened two years ago last month
by A. M. Miller and John G..
Brown and they had done con
siderable work in the way of de-
velopment before the Oliver
Mining company became inter-
ested in it. The mine produces
a high grade of Bessemer ore.
The Oliver Mining company
also has a working option on the
Hartman-Mallet property, which
adJolns the eighty Oh which the
Savoy mine is situated. No
work has been done on the Hart.

C>NMODORE CO. -4NSUERS TAWKET,
The answer of the Commodore
Mining company in the suit
brought by w. H. Yawkey
against it. and the Cleveland
Storage company, was flied Sat
urday in United States court.
The storage company filed it's
answer several weeks ago. The
plaintiff seeks to recover about
$51, 900 alleged to be due on iron
ore royalties from the Commo
do~e mine and other minor mat
ters of alleged Indebtedness.
The storage company in it's an
swer disclaimed any RESPONSE
bility in the matter and later
was released. The; answer of
the Commodore Mining company
is point blank denial of any in.
debtedness whatever to Mr..
Yawkey. The principal claim
of the plaintiff is that there is
$39,375 due him on minimum
output. which the defendant
failed to make. The Commo-
dore Mining company denies
that there is any just claim
against it in regard to minim UNI
output and that if there was any
such agreement between Mr..
Yawkey, the fee owner of the
property, and the original or any
of the sub-lessees up to the lease
of the defendant, that the latter
had no knowledge of it. 1t al
leges that it was to pay a fixed
sum, IS cents, a ton royalty for
ore mined and removed.
The mining property was or
iginally leased by Mr.. Yawkey
to A. E. Humphreys and John
Mckinley. They subleased it to
the New England Iron company,
which in turn sub.!eased it to
James Corrigan, who, in turn,
sub-leased it to Price McKin-
ney. According to the complaint
of Mr.. Yawkey the suitcase
from A. E. Humphreys was mod
fled, after the original was
made, SO that if 1t provided for a
minimum output of $4,000 tons
of ore from May 1, 1893 to 1899
and during each succeeding
year of 100000 tons during the
life of the lease, or till the ore
might be exhausted. It is
claimed by the Commodore Min.
ing company that the lease from
Corrigan to Mckinney did not
require the payment Of royalties
except on such ore as might be
mined and removed and that if
there was any agreement about
the payment about a minimum
output, and the payment of roy
alties in the event of failure to
produce it, the defendant min
ing company nor Mr.. Corrlgan
knew nothing ABOUT it. :>...
During the period that the
Commodore Mining company
has operated the mine it has pro-
duced 127,487 tons and has paid
royal ties scording to the ans.

4 SKETCH OF ERTINT'S LIFE.
William Cullen Bryant was
born at Cum mington, Mass.
Nov. 3rd, 1894. He was deli
cate boy but the active outdoor
life of farming soon brought him
health.
He early showed a taste fer
poetry and was encouraged by
his father; DR.. Peter Bryant both
to read and write it. William
stuffed at home and was pre-
p red for college by his uncle.
He entered William Mary's COL
lege at the age of sixteen where
he remained two terms when he
decided to leave and enter Yale;
but owing to financial troubles
his plans were interrupted and he
never completed his college
course.
He studied law and was admit
ted to the bar in 1915, but his
taste was for literature so he
abandoned law in 1925 and went
to New York where he took the
position of associate editor of
the North American Review. In
about a year this failed and he
became assistant editor of the
Evening Post. which position he
held at his death.
He made four journc VS. to
Europe and tour through his
own country. Observations on
his travels were published in
Letters from a Traveller"
Letters from the East" and
Letters from Spain and other
Countries" He held no public
offices except IN 1860 when he
was Presidential Elector.
He began his literary life at
the early age of thirteen when
he wrote The Embargo;" at
eighteen he wrote his master
piece ":H'henatopsis." Some of
his other poems are Ito the
Water Fowl" 1.-The Yellow Vic.
let," 1.-The Fringed Gentian, ""A
Summer Ramble" and "The
Hunter of the Praries."
Most OF his poems treat of
nature owing to his exceeding
love of nature. His longest
poems are ''Silla" and the THE

FINICAL ENGLISH.
This Is the Charge Lodged Against
Takers I'm This Country.
From Harper's Bazaar.

From Harper's Bazaar.
There is between England and America
both as to grammar and pronunciation
another difference, which goes deeper
than mere language. Ever since the time
of Noah Webster there has been in this
community a desire to make the English
language consistent with itself, and en-
ploy it accordingly There is a tendency
to speak and write it on a theory whereas
in England it is spoken and written ac-
cording to usage. Is this usage meant, as
in France, that decided and imposed by
a learned body, it would be very different;
but in England the usage recognized is
not even that of oxford and Cambridge
but of "society"-this being the vague
name of a wholly indeterminate class
eliminating in a series of princes and
princesses whose parentage was not even
wholly English but half German.
There is tradition in France that the
reason why the word corrosse -(carrlage)
is masculine instead of feminine, as an
aiogy would require, is because a little
Bourbon Prince, wishing to go out for
drive, once called for mon carrosse. There
is no reason to think there has been any
such direct royal influence in England
but there is NC doubt that what is called
English society which is the recognized
standard of speech in its own country Is
responsible for nelegances and inaccura-
cies of speech which, IL they had original
ed here, would very possibly have been re-
pudiated and condemned
To say "it is him. and different to- is
as inaccurate as to say Il don't know as"
or "he played some" the difference being
that while a thousand teachers in our own
country are trying to eradicate these last
improprietles, there is probably no school
in England where different TO" and lit
is him" are not recognized as perfectly
legitimate, because somebody in good So
ciety is supposed to use them. And so
of pronunciation, one constantly hears
well-bred English people transform "Oh"
into "Aouw" and when" into wen
the latter being simply more refined form
of THAI aversion to the an which is seen
at its extreme In Mrs. Enry Awkins.
To sum Il all up the besetting sin OF
Americans lies in holding too inical and
pedantic mode of speech and paying too
little regard to mere usage; while to Eng
lish people usage-meaning social or fash
ionab.e usage-~is everything and the con-
sistency of the language nothing.
