GOOD BYE.

1t is with profound regret that we
announce the dissolution of the CO
partnership heretofore existing by
and between Givler, Crooks, Jones,
Peacock, ct. al. sssuggestOrs," who
never suggested anything. and one
and all climb down and off the edi-
torial soap-box wherein we have
penned some of the sublimest
thoughts that ever surprised a friend
or COMPOUNDED an enemy.
In making this solemn announce
ment we are not unmindful of the
tender feelings of our readers, whose
grief will be almost unboundless, but
we feel confident that they will make
patriotic effort to control their emo
tions. Our friends, the enemy, will
also feel sore disappointment because
our casting aside of the editorial toga
will remove us from within range OF
their catapultS. But there is yet some
solace for even them. The prospect
that they may substitute war with
Spain may engrosS their belligerent
energies and enable them to survive
the shock of our withdrawal from par
ticipation in the regular weekly scrap
This step has been taken after ma
ture elaboration and careful consid-
alton of all interests. Heretofore our
tranScendent abilities have been di-
vided between scissors and pen on the
one side and the case and the compos-
ing stone on the other. This division
of labor was necessary on account of
the absence of our partner who had
and was thus prevented from taking
active, immediate control of the
thought department of this great dis
seminator of truth. To remedy this
we have now taken a business asso-
cia,e who is right on the ground and
who will have entire editorial con-
troll.
Our business associations have been
pleasant in the past and will doubt
less continue SO. We bespeak for our
new partner the same generous con-
sideration of our readers that has
been extended to us in the past.

hour, in the same distance and length

Mesaba Operators.

a Cleveland dispatch says the oper
ators of the Mesaba mines are seek
ing an agreement among themselves,
with every prospect of success. The
old range operators some time ago
formed the Bessemer Ore association.
and the Mesaba range men refused to
enter the agreement as they did last
year. The result last year was disas-
trous to the Mesaba operators, the
price of their ore sinking TO a very
low figure.
This year the Mesaba men are try
ing to get together to maintain
prices, This week their object was
almost attained when an unforeseen
obstacle arose and delayed matters.
The belief is strongly expressed that
the objections will be overcome at d
meeting to be held in this city some
time next week.

Write to Him.

David Ward, the lucky gold miner,
who brought back the news OF rich
find of gold on the American side of
Alaska, and who says that the rush
next spring will be far down the Yuk-
on on the American side, spent three
years prospecting in Alaska, and in
that time only received three letters
from home. Since his return he has
had more than that many thousands
of letters from would-be argonauts in
three months. He Is now in Phila-
delphia, Pa, and tries to answer every
inquiry concerning the far north, it's
perils, rigors of climate and wonder
full riches. His practical experience
makes his advice highly valuable,
and anyone interested in Alaska
should avail themselves of his knowl-
edge by writing to him.

ition in the yard here. Repairs on

Mineral Land Laws.

A special from Washington of March
IS says that Congressman Morris had
introduced a bill providing that 'all
gold and silver-bearing public lands
within the state Of Minnesota shall
be subject TO entry under the mineral
land laws of the United States"
The act is not TO affect any claim to
land initiated before its passage under
the existing laws, The passage of
the bill will prevent entries under the
homestead laws for lands containing
either of these metals and will alsc
provide source of revenue from the
sale OF mineral lands.

The Illinois Steel Company Fave Opened
Negotiations

The negotiations opened at Chicago
last week between representatives Of
ore selling firms and the Illinois Steel
Co.. will end this week in the placing
OF orders for several round lots of old
range Bessemer ores, all the old ranges
sharing in the business. AS was the
case last year, the Chicago company
buys its Menominee and Marquette
range ores at the mine or at Escanaba
and arranges its own lake transporta-
tlon from that point. Between .ooo.-
600 and 100000 tons of old-range
ores will be taken in all, the require
ments of the company, with LOCO 900
tons OF Mesaba ores, being in the
nelghbOrhood of 1900, 900 tons. A
number of valley furnacemen who
visited Cleveland Tuesday in connec-
ton with the meeting of Bessemer
pig iron producers indicated in part
their requirements for the coming
seoson. and several deals are pending.
The announcement is made By the
Chicago s. Northwestern road and the
Wisconsin Central, of a reduction
from % to 40 cents in the rate on ore
to Ashland. The Northwestern re-
duces the rate on Gogebic ore to Es-
CANADA to So cents. Its other rates
to Escanaba are reduced cents, max
ing the charge from Iron Mountain.
Commonwealth, Florence, Negaunee
and Ishpeming, 40 cents instead of
46, and from The Crystal Falls district
Iron River; Republic, ETC., 43 cents.
The vessel situation is not promising
for carriers. While some season bust
ness has been done at IS cents from
the head of the lake, it seems quite
well established that several large
blocks OF tonnage have been secured
at 90 cents to Nov. I, which is the
season on Duluth or Ashland bust
ness. Vessels have been freely offered
at 90 cents to Oct. 1. Counting the
MeSaba ore which the Bessemer fleet
will carry, it is probable that upward
of 100000 tons of Carnegie Oliver
ore is already covered Trade

CITY POLITICS.

Gore we are Pleased to Say
The political situation is not as yet
very much strained. The caucus
for nominating city officers is called
for Friday evening while the caucuseS
for nominating ward officers takes
place Tomorrow evening in the res
| pectiye wards and their several poll
ing places.
Several new candidates have bobbed
up serenely during the past week.
Those OF the incumbent city officers
who are up for reelection are Mayor
McMahan, Clerk Schaefer, Treasurer
James and Judge Cowling. No oppo-
sition to Treasurer James has as yet
become manifest. VIM. Scott is out
for the mayoralty against Mayor Nc
Mahan. W. NJ. Abrahamson wants
to be Judge in place of w. j. Cowling
and David Brown is after the clerk
ship against Peter Schaefer. Thos.
Jury will make a run for assessor in
| which connection the names of Ed.
Harri and George KotZe are also men
toned. So far no one has SHE'D his
castor into the ring for special Judge.
The aldermanic positions seem to
attract number. In the First ward
John Glode. Geo. Holmes and Anton
Kotchegar are prominently spoken
of. For the Second ward, we have
heard only the present incumbents
mentioned, viz: Olaf Knuteson and
Thomas Wakefield. In the Third
ward, Jos. Skala and Geo. Kelly are
mentioned.
Not much blood is being spilled by
the contestants at present although
considerable efforts are being put
forth for the caucus nominations to-
morrow and Friday nights. The citi-
Zens will do well to look into the mat
ter carefully before the caucuses and
decide to cast their ballots for the
best men and elect them at the polls
on April Duh.
