In making cut on the Duluth
& Northeastern railroad. the
new logging road being built
from Mile Post 50 on the D. & L
R., to Island Lake, a crew Of
men uncovered an ore body about
four feet from surface. The ore
found is in section 8. 81 II, and
is said to closely resemble Mesa
ba ores. No assay of the ore is
obtainable from the railroad men,
but its value as a merchandise
ore Is attested by the fact that
the find will be explored with q
diamond drill. IL.

WRIT THE LUMBER TARIFF BaS
DONE

Frederick Weyerhaeuser,
doubtless the largest pine land
owner and best known lumber.
man in the country, during a re
eens visit to Duluth thus spoke
to a press representative rela
tive to the effect of the 50 duty
on lumber:
'Under free lumber we did not
build sawmills nor logging roads
nor did we carry on logging
operations very extensively.
believe that conditions have
changed somewhat in these re
speets, have they not? You pee.
pie here ought to certainly
know something about that. -,
In 1894, 1885 and 1896 it was
my experience that I could not
furnish employment: in the woods
for all the men that were willing
to work for SO a month: These
men are now getting 81 day,
or better, and their board, Be,
sides, there is, employment for
more men. The lumber business
is in excellent shape as result
Of the duty
Mr.. Weyerhaeaser was asked
if duty of 81 a thousand on
lumber would be ample to pro
tect the industry in the North
west. He said it would hot.
''One dollar would be better than
nothing: that is all I could say of
It. " said Mr.. Weyerhaeuser.
Continuing, he said on this
subject: "Our low grades of lum
Der are the same as these of
Canada. where taxes, labor and
stumpage are cheaper than here.
Two dollars a thousand feet is
low compared with the protec-
ton provided for other things
Mr.. Weyerhaeuser says that it
has been observed by him since
the days of President Buchanan
that free trade means hard times.
'tWhat Icall good times" said
tae big lumberman. els when
labor is well employed. The
duty that was placed on lumber
less than two years ago has al
ready been worth millions of
dollars 10 the Northwest. When
you look at lumber yard you
can always figure that it repre-,
sents almost all labor except the
stumpage. Labor represents
from $3.50 to $40 in 1000 feet of
lumber. There is not another
article as near to labor as lum
ber." F..
Mr.. Weyerhaeuser was asked
what the average advance of
lumber had been under the pres.
ent duty, and he said it had been
81. 40 a thousand feet. :, -. s.
