In the course Of his extended
and useful career a New York
business man has by observation
and experience proved the value
Of . number of things, the good
Of which knowledge he is pleased
to share with others. He has
summed some of these up in a
little card upon which is printed
the following sixteen good rules
for success in life:
Keep good company or none.
Never be idle. ..:
If your hands are not usefully
employed attend to the cultiva-
tion of your mind.
Live up to your engagements
Keep your own secrets if you
have any.
When you speak to a person
look him in the face.
Good company and good con-

virtue.
Good character is above all
things all.
Ever live misfortune except.

Make no haste to be rich il
you would prosper.
Never play any game of
chance.

Never run into debt unless
you see a way out again.
Never borrow if you can possibly
avoid it.
Do not marry until you are
able to support a wife.
Be just before you are gener

RUNAWAY ORE TRIM,

Quite a serious wreck occurred
in the yard of the Duluth & Iron
Range at Two Harbors Wednes-
day. :. The second section of an
ore train crashed into the rear
end of the first section, com.
plete)y demolishing the caboose
and three cars of the first Sec
tion and three cars of the second
section. The engine was thrown
into the ditch and quite badly
damaged.
The runaway train was hauled
by engine No. 66, Engineer S.
G. Frankenburger. The engin
eer noticed that the air did not
WORK we'll all the way down the
hill, but just before he reached
the depot thought he had 1T
under control, and whistled for
the switch leading to the yard.
Just then the air seemed to give
out and the train rapidly gained
speed, in spite Of everything the
engineer could do. All the men
oa the two sections jumped off
before the collision occurred, and
happily nobody was injured. -.

THE PIONEER LEASE.

Henry w. Oliver, president OF
the Oliver Mining company, was
in consultation this morning at
the Spalding with the fee own
ers of the Pioneer mine, DR..
William J. Conan and William
and Martin Patterson, Of Super.
ior, and Robert Whitesides. of
this city. AS stated in the Her
aid yesterday Thomas Bardon,
who is said to represent a ma
iority of the stockholders of the
Pioneer Iron company, which
holds the lease of the mine, is
also III the city. ~. i. .tg.>~. h.
The Herald is informed that
the fee owners Of the property
have reached a mutually salts
factory agreement with the
Oliver company for the exten.
sion Of the lease, and all that
remains to be done to consum
mate the deal by which this big
mine, now idle, shall pass into
the control Of the Oliver com.
.pany is the transfer to it Of a
majority of the stock Of the com.
pany. Just how far negotia
tions for the purchase Of the
stock have progressed cannot be
learned at this time, but it is be-
LEVIED by those interested that
the differences that have hereto
fore prevented the trade !. have
been adjusted, and that it: will
be only matter Of time when.
the Oliver company will come in
to possession. .
One thing seems certain, and
that is that there is no likeli

CANNOT DO 1T TOO, QUICK.

The News Tribune is author
ity for the statement that the
board of equalization has become
convinced that the most econom
cal thing that can happen St.
Louis county will be a division.
There is TOO much area, it is as
serted, to consistently handle the
county's business. In an inform.
al discussion of the matter Capt.
Morcom, range representative
on the board, expressed the sen
timent of this section by a state
ment that the ranges are ready
and anxious for such a change at
any time. &c.. - 80. =.
A DIVISION would me an the for.
nation of a new county compris.
ing the two ranges the richest
section of the state of Minnesota.
An amount of work has been
done by prominent range resi-
dents toward this end, but the
matter was dropped because of
the impression. that Duluth would
fight such measure and because
of the tacit admission of corpor-
ate bodies controlling the polit-
cal destinies of the county and
legislative districts embraced
that they were not desirous of
such division. ~
But at any time the south end
desires a good riddance, just ring
US up and whisper, and there
will be more Joy on the ranges
than was created by the fall of
Santiago.

The board then appropriated.

tricts Nos. 2, 4, and 5, giving.

Commissioners Morcom intro
duced q resolution appropriating
his share to the several towns in
his district as follows, Miller

ia, II, 700; Grand Trunk exten
sion, 81, 500; Iron Junction and
Eveleth, $500; Town line, S4oO;
Ryrns, 1900; Eveleth, Fayal, ex :
tension to Sparta, $500; Tower
aud Messna, 5000; and Miller
'rruuk, Little Fork branch, 1900,
which makes a total of $4,000.
The resolution passed.
BY q glance at the above table
the conclusion is easily deduct
BILE that the fall campaign was
not lost to view in some of the
appropriations mentioned, but
Capt. Morcom certainly has no
right to expect the vote of any
intelligent Virginian, who stops
to consider the sort of road that
$500 for the Miller Trunk ex-
tension of 13 miles will make,
and to size up the magnanimous
donation Of $500 for the road be
tween Fayal and Sparta, which
is but two and one half miles and
is already one of the best roads
in the district. ~ /. !:

gentleman-unless being two

the Mesaba and to Mesaba in

range in November, nor do we
think he will be overburdened
with a majority from this sec.
tion, as every official act during
his term OF Office has seemingly
been with the iatent of subor-
dina:ing Mesaba interests.

DOES NOT SAY.

Henry W. Oliver to Duluth and
the ranges he was asked whether
or not he or the interests he re-
presents were the real movers
in the ore rate case reduction

denied the query, stating that he
had nothing to say on the sub

EXPECT HEAvT FILL SHIPMENTS.
Although shipments of ore
from the Minnesota ranges up to
date are not as large:as expected,
says the News Tribune, a good
total will undoubtedly mark the
closing of the shipping season.
The war scare has had tend.
ency to hinder operation at the
mines on the Minnesota ranges.
but will eventually be- the means
of stimulating an increased de :
mand. Much manufactured iron
will be wanted for government
work, and this will create a large
demand for the raw material.
Since the victory of the Amer
ican army at Santiago and the
capitulation. of that province,
there is talk of reopening to
commerce the vast deposits OF
iron ore, which we're abandoned
when the Cuban rebellion began
IN: 1895. + Although it is said that
ore can be mined there cheaply,
there islittle likelih hood of its
entering in competition with the
standard ores of the old ranges,
and those that fear serious com
petition need have no worry on
that score. 49,.
Numerous improvements have
been made during the present
season at many of the mines on
the ranges. This work has
hindered heavy shipments for a
time, but the properties will
more than make, up for lost time.
