LIKES THE PLACE.

The Enterprise is in receipt of
: letter from F. J. Rinnert, who
left the first of the month to as
sumo the duties of his new po.
sition as deputy internal revenue
collector at Grand Portage
Island, in which he states that
the job is a ''snap" aud that aside
from getting a little lonesome at
times be likes the place very
we'll. He says the island,
which contains So acres, is the
coolest place on earth in the
summer, not a warm day being
recorded there thus far this
year. Mr.. Rinnert is in love
with it in one respect, as it
affords great trout fishing, and
IN speaking of his first trip to a
stream down the lake with
"another Indian" he caught 90
while his companion landed
about 100.
1t is not unlikely that Mr.. Rim.
merit will have a visit from some
of the Virginia boys before the
close of the season, to enjoy the
sport afforded by streams IN that
neighborhood.

terday morning. with a long
cash across the left side of his
skull. and unconscious from in,
juries received. The injured
man was brought to this city,
where his wounds were dressed
by DR.. z. K. Brown, assisted by
Drs. Ely and Miller. An ex :
animation of the wound dis
closed the fact that the skull
was cracked. Larson regained
consciousness, but in his state
ments was wandering. ! He
claims the injuries we're receiv-.
ed in a fight, but al different
times named different parties as
the assal.ant. From what could
be gathered from his statements
it is probable he had been to Iron
Junction and filed up on swamp
water, resultingin a fistic en-
gagement in which he was badly
worsted, his. antagonist having
evidently used something harder
than his fist in his endeavor to
make an impression. The injur-
ed man is now at the Tower
Hotel, where he is receiving
proper care.
Chief Belanger went to the
Junction yesterday, returning
last evening with Larson's part
rer, a man named Gustafson,
who alleges that both were
drunk Thursday night and had
started for the Norway Ridge
with a comfortable load and a
jug of whiskey; that the men lay
down beside the track and that
when he awoke yesterday morn
he found Larson lying in the
ditch alongside the track.

COUNTS NATURAL WEALTH.

A party composed of G. O.
Robinson and wife Of Detroit, E.
Nd. Fowler of Chicago, Mrs. G.
l.. Cheesborough and Miss Sales
of Detroit returned yesterday
from a trip over the Missabe
road. The party travelled in a
special car attached to the regu,
lar train. Mr.. Robinson and his
associates are among the heaviest
pine land holders in the county
and they are also heavily inter-.
ested in developed and unde-
veloped mining properties. Mr..
Robinson, who is of the firm of
Robinson & Flynn and Murphy
l. Dorr own in the peighborhood
of 200, 100000 feet of standing
pine in st. LOUIS county. Mr..
Robinson is interested in the
Adams and the Genoa niue and
Mr.. Fowler owns the fee to the
Fayal mine. Mr.. Robinson was
seen at the Spalding yesterday,
says the News Tribune. He SAID
that his visit was with a view of
studying for his own satisfaction
the iron formation and structure
of the different mines.
eve visited all of the mines on
the Missabe read with the ex-
ception of those at Virginia. We
Rad a pleasant trip, and I was
quite surprised at the excellence
Of the Missabe road bed, track
and buildings. There has been
a marvellous change in these re-
specrs since I was here three
years ago."
Il don't think ever before so
fully realized the wonderful, ex-
tent of the iron ore deposits OF
ysrB county as on this occasion.
They are simply marvellous, and
not yet generally appreciated
1t is one thing to say to. man
that a certain number of million
tons Of ore lie underneath the
ground and of actually showing
it to him. I am more than ever
impressed with the magnitude Of
everything in connection with
mining IN Northern Minnesota
It IS no exaggeration to say thai
both the Consolidated and the
Minnesota Iron companies are
expert miners. :"
Mr. Robinson was asked if the
pine lands that he was interest
ed in were supposed to contain
iron ore. He said that some Of
them were in the iron belt, AND
that they had been explor: d
Some of the undeveloped lands
contain ore, but the extent had
never been ascertained, and pro
badly will not be soon, as there
is. no necessity Or business de
mand for opening them at pres.
emit.
In regard to the future of the
vast timber holding of Mr.. Rob
mson and his associates, Mr..
Robinson said that some of the
lands would doubtless be sold,
but that considerable of the tim
Der would be manufactured in
Duluth. How much would de.
pend on the market for timber
and the demand for pine lands.

acteristic has been confined here-

this year in the ores referred to,
which are from underground
properties, indicate much great

John Driscoll received a tele-

Crowell, announcing the sad
fact of the accidental killing of
a brother, Frank Driscoll, at

From information obtainable it
appears that Driscoll was Gran

caving of the gravel bank in
which they were working.
His brother left yesterday for

DR., Stuart Bates made one of
his regular trips to Duluth the
first of the week, and very nat
urally ran up against a news
paper man, who thus reports
HIM in the Herald:
DR.. Stuart Bates. of Virginia.
chairman of the republican leg -.
islatiYe committee for the Forty
ninth district, said today that it
was entirely too early to do any
campaign work and that his com.
mittee would rest until after the
fusionists make their nomina-
tons. He said there were quite
a number of candidates for fusion
nominations for the house on the
Mesaba range, but 1t appeared
to be conceded that the candi-
date for the senate would go to
some West Duluth man. He
does not. however, accept it as a
foregone conclusion that Beriah
Magoffn will be given the nom-
nation, not that he cannot have
it, but because he does not be.
leive he can afford to accept it.
