: The additional snow makes
local lumbermen happy.
E. E. Edwards was over from
Mountain Iron last evening.
/ Mrs. VIM. Danahy came ove1
from Hibbing Tuesday for a shor'
visit with friends.
Now Is the time to pay ur

ing ore. Double shifts will be
worked at the property.
The ball at the Dahl building
Wednesday evening under the
auspices of the Young Mems
, Club was we'll attended and en-.
joyed.
During a recent visit Of ). M.
Sellers, of Chicago. to the Sellers
mine near Hibbing, he gave it
out that that property would be
worked heavily the coming sea-
son.
j At the regular meeting of the
school boa I'd on Saturday last,
an amount of routine business
was transacted, but nothing of
special note came before the
meeting.
The idea of being able to bond
the city to pay floating indebted
ness has not been abandoned and
there is still a possibility of the
city obtaining the wherewith to
pay one hundred cents on the
dollar.
Capt. Ball. of Tower, was in
the city Wednesday. Accom-
panied by other represen tatives
OF the Minnesota Iron Company,
he made an examination of the
Sauntry property, north of The
city, but the object of the visit
is purely a matter of surmise.
The Dull nth, Missabe & North
ern Railroad company contem-
plates additional buildings at
Proctorknott to accommodate
the requirements in the way of
increased business and repairs
to rolling stock. The ultimate
plans in view call for construct
ing four large buildings, which
include machine shop and store
house.
A. M. Miller, of Biwabik, is
reported by Duluth sheet to
have lost $500 in bills between.
Mariska and the Auburn, Mon-
day. Mr.. Miller, upon first dis
covering his loss, claimed the
amount was $245, but later re-
membered having left 5000 at
home, so the loss aggregated
but $45. He was going to Eve
leth to purchase dogs for the
Klondike.
The Enterprise man ran foul
of a formidable bluff, Monday,
put up by well-known gentle
man about whom we recently
found occasion to emit caustic
remark relative 1to q matter of
financial difference. The bluff
did not result in the necessity of
our practicing the Christian vir-
tue of turning the other cheek,
however. Our gigantic frame.
garnished with a hundred and
;: seven pounds of advoirdupois,
may have had much to do in elic-
iting the respect due the press,
although the wrath of the gen.
tleman apparently exceeded that
of the Maker when he drowned
the earth. No coin changed
hands.
ST. Peter sits at the heavenly
} gates, his hands on the strings
of his Tyre. and he sings a low
song as he patiently waits for
the souls of those who expire.
He hears in the distance a chorus
of song that swells from the foot
OF the heavenly throne, and he
smiles as the music is waited
along, and he warbies a lay of
his own: There is room in this
region for millions of souls who
by sorrow and woe were bereft.
'Tis for those Who have suffered, "
the melody rolls, 1" but the kick
