The last shipments of the sea-
son on the Iron Range road went
from the Chandler Tuesday.
This mine shows tie largest in.
crease of any on the Vermilion
range, ia, 875 tons as compared
with 438, 800 tons in 1897.
There we're only nine mines
shipping over the Duluth Il Iron
Range road this year as compar-
ed with Is in 1897, but the sea
sons shipments show a gain of
1896 tons over 1897, and had it
not been for the scarcity of
aabor during fall the increase
would have been in the neigh
borhood of 100000. The total
shipments over the three ore
carrying roads for the season
amount to $3.50, 313 tons as COM
pared with $3.50, 153 tons in 1897
showing all increase for the year
OF 211,16O tons. The 100000
ton mark would haye been easily
passed had labor been more
plentiful. The state of Mime
sofa has produced in the aggre-
gate %, 785. 1856 tons since the
mining industry was inaugurated
beginning with 1898. and in
GLIDING this year. Following is
a statement of the shipments

produce its minimum Of $4,000
tons a year from this property in
its present shape.
DR.. Aulst says the Oliver Min,
ing company will give employ
ment on the Vermilion range to
about 700 men during the year.
In regard to wages he says that
the recent increase of 10 per
cent for the miners in the en-
p(oy of the Oliv.r company on
the Gogebic range merely ad.
justed the wages of the men
there to the wages now paid on
the Verrailion. Better wages
are now paid than since 1892 and
they are nearly double on the
Vermilion range TO: what they
were in 1898.
RETURNS OPENED.
The st. Paul Globe of Mon
day contained the following:
The state canvassing board
will be called upon to take action
in an unusual matter when it
meets to 60 over the votes cast
&C the last election. The cleo.
ton law requires that copies of
the returns from each county
shall be sent to the secretary OF
state for the state canvassing
board, and that these shall not
be opened until the board meets.
There are mailed at the same
time copies Ct this return, which
are opened by the secretary and
tabulated for convenience in or
der to facilitate the work of the
official canvassing board. These
returns have nothing to- do with
the official ones. The official re-
turns from St. Louis county
came to the secretary Of states

O. Halden, county AUDITOR
There is said to be no pr:vision

shall be returned, allowing for
no such accidents as it is pre-
sumed happened to the St. Louis

An effort was made to see
Auditor Halden this afternoon
in order to get his explanation
of the matter. but he was not at
his Office and could net be found
elsewhere. The statement in
the Globe that, if the St. Louis
