LARGE MORTGAGE FOREcL0sURE.
Daniel A. Dickinson has be-
gun a suit against Emil Hart.
man; and r. D. Mallett and
others to- fofec1ose a mortgage
for $25, 600 on the mel of section
26.63-12. The mortgage was
given to the American Loan and
Trust company, and after 1t had
been extended and renewed un.
til the interest amounted to
enough to bring the total amount
due up to $36.369.2s, it was
transferred to the plaintiff, who
now seeks to foreclose it. The
property is the Hartman & NAL
lett iron properly, which has
been in obligation and contro.
versy for some time, and the
foreclosure of the mortgage
probably means that it is to be
settled up in some way. Wash
burn, Lewis & Bailey and Searle
Il Spencer are the attorneys.

CLAIMING Is CONHALESCING.

R. II. Charming, former Sup
erintsndent of the Genoa who
resigned his position to join the
Roosevelt Rough Bide:s. in the
Cuban campaign, and who at one
time was reported by the press
as among the missing, is at his
home in New York, recovering
from an attack of fever. The
Bessemer Herald of last issue
publishes an excerpt from a let
ter written 0y J. Parke Chan
ming, brother of r. H., touan old
Chicago friend, in which he says.
Roscoe passed through the
entire Santiago campaign, in:
GLIDING LaGuasina and San Juan
unhurt. He had a little fever
while in the trenches. He arriv.
ed at Montauk with his regiment
August Is. On August 10 he
was grantad a ten day furlough
and came to New York. The
next day he was attacked by
pernicious ma1arial fever. On
Monday his fu6ther and sister
came in from the seashore and
have since that time devoted all
their energies to nursing him.
The first two weeks were most
sewers and he shrunk to a skele-
ton, unable to raise himself from
the bed. His recovery has been
very slow and frequently retard.
ed by attacks of fever. I hardly
understand how they can call
him missing. If you will examine
Harper's Weekly for Aug. / you
will recognize him as the man in
picture called aiming a Rapid

A prominent Duluth lumber
man, who requested: that his
name should not be mentioned in
connection with: the story, said
to a Duluth Herald reporter to.
day:
II have it on'::the most relia,
BILE authority that Wright &
Davis have about completed
their plans for extending the
Duluth, Mississippi River &
Western road to Duluth. They
have considered the practicable
ity of this project for the past
two years, and a year ago q sur
vey of the proposed route was
made. The enterprise was de
ferred at that time and a traffic
arrangement made with J. J..
Hill. president of the Great
Northern, by which the old
agreement with the Duluth, Su.
perior & Western road, now a
part of the Fosston branch, was
continued for another year, and
the Wright & Davis ore from
Hibbing was hauled to the docks
on Allouez bay. Under this ar
rangement the Great Northern
gets tie greater portion of the
freight, and Wright & Davis
have concluded that they can
make no more profitable invest
ment than that involved in the
building of their road to Duluth.
I understand that the presence
of Morris Quinn In Duluth at
this time is in connection with
this enterprise. He will 60 over
the surveyed line again, and I'm.
less there should be some change
in the present plans, the Wright
& Davis road will be completed
to this city in time to take care
of the ore shipments of the Ma
honing and Penobscot mines a

cation next spring."

THW LABOR SITUATION,

The labor situation in the
Lake Superior region is in strik-
ing contrast with what existed
four years ago, when the weight
of the depression was heaviest
Upon the country. AS against
so cents day paid at that time
for certain classes of labor at
Minnesota mines, $1.35 to $3.50
IS now paid, with miners wages
on a proportionately higher
scale. The relief organizations,
particularly on the Gogebic
range, that in 1894 were put to
it to keep hundreds of families
from starving have been sue
ceeded in only four years by. a
very different kind of famine
such a scarcity of labor as the
Lake Superior ranges have
never known. And yet the story
of the very slow recovery of the
iron industry from the depths of
panic prices is told by the steady
exodus of iron mining labor that
has gone on In the past few
years. Other fields in which re-
cuperati6n was more rapid have
attracted Lake Superior labor,
whose wages have been kept
down, even in the period of re-
covery, by the very low basis on
which the iron ore industry has
been compelled to operate. It
has come to this point at length,
that if an ADEQUATE supply of ore
is obtained for the coming year,
estimating consumption at the
rate Of to day, the iron ore IN
dustry must bid enough for labor
to draw it from other employ
inents in which it has found
larger returns. That means

In a recent examination held
in one OF the lower rooms some
of the boys were asked to define
certain words and to give a SEN
tence explaining the meaning.
Here are a few: Frantic means
wild; picked some frantic flow
ers. Athletic means strong; the
butter was too athletic to use.
Tandem, one behind the other;
the boys sit tandem at school,.
And some words were oddly ex-
planned, as: Dust is mud with
the wet squeezed out; stars are
the moons eggs; circumference
is the distance around the middle
of the outside.
There are not many games at
school now. The boys and girls
occupy their spare time skating.
The 9th grade have been en-
joying two of Chas. Lambs es-

LOOKS FOR i BAG YEAR.

j. M. Thomas, OF the Thomas
Iron company, of Niles. O.. is IN
the city and will pay visit to
the Mesaba range before his re-
turn east, He says the iron and
steel business is IN excellent
shape and that the outlook for
the industry for the ensuing
year is mosS encouraging. In
the course of a conversation
about the subject last evening
Mr.. Thomas said:
''Phe output of iron and steel
during the present year in the
Uriten States is greater than
ever before in the history of the
industry in this country. The
M9Kinley tariff law has increas-
ed the manufacture of tin, plate
to the ex ient that we are now
producing nearly all that we
consume of the product and the
prospects are that the industry
will continue to expand. The
output of iron ores from all of
the Lake Superior region has
been larger than ever before in
any year. Phis is especially true
Of Mesaba ores. The furnace
men are getting better acquaint-
ed with the methods OF using
these ores and the production
will be increased next year, both
as to the percentage of Mesaba
ores used and as to the volume.
The manufacture of all iron and
steel products will show a large
tonnsge for this year. It will
be found, when the official re-
ports have been received for the
present year, that the export
business from this country has
been heavy in iron and steel
products.
Il anticipate that the iron and
steel output of 1899 will be great
er than ever before. Everybody
in the business IS preparing for
a large volume of business
prices for ore? They will
necessarily be somewhat better
next year owing to increased
cost of production. Labor is re.
ceiving better wages than for
several years back. The in
creased price of ore will not be
great; however. The present
conditions of trade are such that
they will not stand very much OF
an increase in the cost of pro.
auction. An export business
has been carefully nursed and
built up at great cost to the man.
ufacturers. High prices for ore,
which is the basfs of operations,
would interrupt or even destroy
the export business. The situa-
tiou is so Shaping itself that fair
consumption for labor and a
reasonable return to the manu-
facturer for money invested is
assured. If there is no financial
disturbance there is no reason
why the iron and steel industry
should not enjoy a long and I'm.
interrupted era of prosperity

NOTES AND COMMENTS,

~~~S " 0eAA>~0 o. AANA WAN wa VSSAA0
a narrowing account of Cook
county election methods, in
which the name of r. J. Rinnert,
deputy collector of customs at
that point and d resident of this
city, is given nnRch prominence,
the allegations going so far as to
charge Mr.. r. with having
threatened to chop off the head
of a native Indian for not having
allowed him, as Judge of cleo
ton at Grand Portage, to mark
his ballot on election day. The
charge is discredited in it's co
tirety, as threats of the nature
alleged would have placed Mr..
R. under arrest long ere this.
Mr.. Rinnert is expected to return
to the city the coming week, to
remain for the winter.
The Hibbing News announces
a suit against a number of. its
citizens by the Commercial Mu-
tual Insurance company, an asso-
citation formerly doing business
on the range through the agency
of A. N. Sicard, and the policies
of which it alleges bound or sui s
mitted the policy holders to an
assessment by the board of d.
rectors of the company in a sum
not to exceed three times the in
surance premium. Since writing
the range policies the company
has become insolvent, and the
receiver has entered suits as
above noted. The News alleges
that Virginia has several victims
of the concern.
The Duluth Herald announces
it as Chas. A. TONNES intention
to return to private life and
again take up his business. In
speaking of the possibility Of a
contest, it alleges that Messrs
Towne and Hudson are in
possession of undisputed evil
dence of the casting OF fraudu.
lent votes on November 9th, but
states that no contest will be en-
tered unless enough such are
found to materially change the
result.
w. w. Butchart, defeated can
didate for county sheriff, is out
for the position of surveyor gen.
eral of logs in the st. Louis
county district, the richest plum
in this section in the gift of
Governor-elect Lind. Mr.. Butch
art has the endorsement Of the
party leaders, and feels conf
dent of successfully landing the
prize. The position is at pres
ent held BY VIM. Getty.
The free silver people haye
the consolation, in retrospective
glance at the election returns, of
having struck the millennium in
one St. Louis county precinct, a
precinct north Of Hibbing return
ing a vote at the ratio of sixteen
for Towne to one for Morris. The
gospel Of returning prosperity
should be taught in that precinct
between now and the battle of
1900.
