WILL SELL INsTE.ID~ OF FIGHT.

When James Corrigan, of
Cleveland, was in Duluth re-
Gently The talked very freely
about whas he proposed to do to
force the range roads to reduce
rates on iron ore. He said the
railroads absorbed all of the pro-
fits in the mining business, and
that while he was forced to ~op-
crate his Commodore nine be
cause of the terms of his lease
that every ton of ore taken out
would involve a loss to him un
less some reduction in the rail
haul could be obtained. He said
in a loud tone of voice and for
publication that he was very
anxious to co operate with other
independent mine owners in
bringing an action before the
state board of railroad and ware
house commissioners to attain
the desired end, and went so far
as to say that if other owners of
mining property failed to do
anything in this direction that
he and the other owners Of the
Commodore nine had fully de-
termined to make the fight
alone.
Since then Mr.. Corrigan has
disposed of his interest in the
Zenith mine on the Vermilion,
the control of which was owned
by him and :Franklin Rockefel-
Ter. Now he is trying to unload
his Commodore mine and the in
dications are that his eagerness
to begin litigation against the
railroads to force a reduction of
freight rates was to assist him
in making the sale. While in
Duluth he made an effort to con :
suit with iron mine owners who
were active in the movement for
lower freight rates, combining his
clustering remarks to Newspaper
reporters and others who. he
believed, would assist in giving
them wide publicity. Franklin
Rockefeller, who less than a
year ago was outspoken in his
denunciation of the railroad
pool. would. while in Duluth
with Mr.. (:orrigan. say nothing
on the subject, and now Mr.. Cor.
risan says that he is not ready
TO take any action IN the matter.
If the sale Of the Commodore is
effected, which now seems likely,
it will be apparent that his bluff
has accomplished: the desired re:
suit, and that the railroad com
bine has deemed it best to pacify
him rather than permit him to
wage war openly against them
There are now no shippers of
ore on: the Minnesota ranges who
are not directly or Indirectly tied
NIB xith one or the other of the
railroad companies. Some of
them have been granted reduc
ton in royalties, which amounts

BRIEF CITY FINANCIAL STATEMENT.
The following has been prepar-

OF our interested citizens, and as
a succinct statement of the city

thinking it might interest

publication the following con-
densed financial statement of the
city for the year ending April 1,
1898. The items of expense for
the month of March, '98, are not
all in the hands of the city re.

SWEDISH MINING MEN.

-" 6AAcH &nAXNxNU III EANs
On Saturday last a party of
noted Swedish iron men. under
the escort of w. S. Russell, gen.
eial agent of the Vulcan Iron
Works, manufacturers of the ia
nous Vulcan shovels, visited the
Norman. Oliver and other pro-
perties in this vicinity.
Among those in the party
were E. Salwen who is manager
of a big Swedish mining CON-
pany that owns and operates II
open pit mines. The company
employs 1900 men and it's an
nual output is about 100000 tons
of ore, which is marketed in
Germany. The ore is hard and
is blasted out.
Claes Landen, another of the
strangers, is chief engineer OF
the mining company of which
MIR. Salwen is manager. In ad,
dition to the names mentioned
there are in the party F.. A.
Johnson, chief engineer of the
Penn Iron company. and Axel
Lagergren, western agent of the
Cunard Steamship company OF
Chicago.
The party had been On the
Vermilion, where they had: Wis
tied the big Minnesota mines al
Soudan. where they were as
founded at the immense deposits
and excellent facilities for min.
ing. The only thing that the
Swedish mining men thought
the Minnesota mining companies
were behind them in was in util-
izing electricity for all the ma
chinery of the mines. The
Swedish Mining company oper-
ates its machinery by electricity
generated by a water power q
miles distant. In all. respects
except that the visitors were in
clined to the opinion that MINING
in Sweden was not as far ad
vanced as in this country and es
pecially so far as their observa
tions have gone, in Minnesota.
The Swedish Mining company
owns and operates its oWn rail
road from the mines to the sea,
a distance fof about 100 miles
and the ore is transported tt
Germany in boats belonging t.
the mining company. 1t is sale
that it costs the Swedish mining
company by It's present method:
of mining about 6 cents a ton tc
get the ore aboard the cars
With the large Vulcan shovel.
which the representatives of thu
company have decided to put il
since visiting the Minnesot;
ranges it is estimated that thi
expense will be reduced to
cents per ton.

FROM THE CHANDLER,

The first train load of ore from
the Chandler mine left for Two
Harbors last Friday afternoon
and since that time two train
loads a day are sending out,
Most of this is loaded direct from
the pockets to the cars. The
steam shovel was again started
last Thursday, after an idleness
of four days, occasioned by the
bursting of the boiler, but the
ore is frozen so hard that the
shovel cannot make much head
way. The violent snow storm
that has prevailed since Satur.
day has interfered seriously with
operations.

Of freight rates. The royalty on
the Mahoning mine has been cut
down, and 8 reduction has been
granted the operators Of the BIZ

business on a very narrow mar

must be by the fee owners Of

Riot at Ningpo.

A riot occurred at Ningpo on the
afternoon of Wednesday, the 9Th
June. One Yamen was looted and
completely destroyed. The officials
all fed. The cause Of the riot is
said to be owing to the recent in
crease in taxation and the high price
of rice. Six hundred troops arrived
at Ningpo from Chinghai in Chusan
on the morning of the 9th ulto., to
quell the disturbance aud another
six hundred are expected i'm
