At the Chandler mine every
thing is in full blast making
preparations for shipping the
100000 tons allotted to that pro
perry by the iron ore pool.
Everything goes to indicate that
the company will be able to ship
the full quota. More ore is al
ready in stockpile than ever be-
fore at this season. From 300
to $50 men are employed.

At section 26 not much work

are still at work putting down

Until that is finished not much

LAYING THEIR WIRES.

From 40 authoritive source it
is learned that the republican
Office seekers of Duluth are al
ready laying their plans to capt
ure the county nomination plums
next fall, and that in their innate
and retiring modesty they allow
that every candidate for a county
Office on the republican ticket
next fall should come from Du
:luth. If this program. as now
being arranged, is carried out, it
would not be improbable that the
Duluth Office seekers would
shortly after election awake to
the fact that the ranges had a
few voters left. The nerve of
Duluth politicians is admirable,
but for their own good, if for no
other cause, we should advise
the leaving of couple of blank
spaces for candidates from other
parts of the county in making up
the slate.
