Mines win Shut Down.

the present month will find all of
the mines on the Mesaba shut down
with the exception of the Biwabik
and the Oliver. They will probably
run into November for perhaps 10
days. On the range at the ore docks
in this city men are needed but they
cannot be had At the Mesaha ore
docks recently an effort was made to
procure extra men to facilitate loading
out ore cargoes but they could not be
had.-News Tribune.
The above is erroneous. The item
meant to say that the present month
would see the last of ore shipments
from the Mesaba mines. With very
few exceptions all of the mines on the
Mesaba range now being operated,
outside of the steam shovel proposit-
ions. will be worked all winter. In
fact more ore will be mined on the
range during the winter than in any
previous winter in its history. Some
of the underground props rites nave
been unable to get men - mine as
much ore as they have been able to
dispose of, and TO prevent repetition
of this they will EMPLOY as large
forces as can be worked in winter and
accumulate big stock piles in antici-
patton of next seasons shipments.
Mine operators say that the Mesaba
range will be more active during the
winter than it has ever been, and
that more men will be employed. All
of the big open pit mines will do a
large amount of stripping. The
Mountain Iron mine has been closed
for more than a week and the Mahon-
ing has nearly finished for the season.

APoliticaI Argument

The section hands on the ID. s /. r,
are now receiving sl.75 per day. There
is at present not an idle man in e."
and in fact there had not been i,....y
all summer until the Mesaba range
men began to arrive on the announce
ment Of the opening Of the Pioneer.
Our little item of two weeks ago has
had the anticipated effect and stopped
the rush to this city thereby protect
ing our own laborers. The Hibbing
Sentinel saw in the idle men" cry
a hot political argument against the
Republicans. Look about you Mr..
Sentinel and you will find the pres,
perity.

Highly Improbable,

The reported discovery of vein of
copper ore under the townsise of
Tower is probably without foundation
The Minnesota Iron company has
been doing some diamond drill work
north of the city and probably in
tends to put some drill holes under
the TOWNSHIP itself. but it has not yet
done so. There have been frequent
evidences of copper deposits in and
around Tower, but no vein has ever
been found. Mass copper has been
found by people in digging and some
explorers have sought in vain for a
copper ore body. The Minnesota
Iron company has found traces Oh
copper in the mine and last spring

ASKS AN INJUNCTION.
Another Injunction Crank Has Been Dis
covered

Another Injunction Crank Has Been Dis
A suit has been started by George
Spencer against the board of county
commissioners TO perpetually restrain
the commissioners from entering into
any contract for the contracting or
improving or expanding any money
on the construction or improvement
of the following county roads: Miller
trunk road, Grant road, Grant extern
sion, Iron junction and Eveleth road,
Town line road, Byrne road, Eveleth
and Fayal road, West Knife river
road, East Duluth and Lester river
road, Tower and Mesaba road and its
extension, Burnside lake extension
of the Tower and Ely road, Culver
road, and the Erickson, MartZ, Mid
way, Janzig, Savanna extension, Flood
wood roads.
The grounds for the suit are that
the roads, it is alleged, are not county
roads for the reason, among Others
that they were never located by the
county and there are other flaws alleg-
ed to exist in their establishing. In
number of cases it is alleged that no
committee has ever examined the
road nor made any report of proceed
ings setting forth highway,
and that the roads were never estab-
lished by either county or state
authority. Another ground for the
suit is that the special county road
fund is everdrawn to a large degree
and the only replenishing it can re-
ceiye is by the levying Of an authoriz-
ed mill tax.

propriateu for the roads belongs tC

TRADE OUTLOOK.
Brighter All Around Especially In the
Car Susiness

The effort To bring up the iron ore
output OF Minnesota ranges more
closely TO the amount calculated upon
is accompanied by an advance in
wages at certain Vermilion and Mes
aba properties. The supply OF labor
al; underground mines promises TO IN
crease in view Of this action and the
approach OF the winter months. and
the cleaning Up of stockpiieS on all
ranges insiires large program OF
winter work. Ore Transactions from
this time ont will consist for the most
mart of lots TO even up mixtures, and
in some cases OF purchases in lieu or
ores that cannot be delivered this

firm the past week at 60, 80 and 90
cents from Duluth. Marquette and
Escanaba. respectively. with indica-
tjops Of a further early advance. With
the Chicago grain rate at &c, Escan-
aba ore went up Tuesday 10 90.
Each week confirms the iron trade
in the belief that conditions have
bcen practically settled for the bal
ance OF the year. That greater ad-
yances in finished material have not
been realized has been surprise To
many. but with material well con-
tractei for in important lines, ana

conditions reflect marked prosperity,

tionally strong monetary position OF
the United States, while the trade
balance steadily increases in our favor
with the unexampled crops now going
To market. The railroads are bring
ing to the iron trade some or the
fruits OF their prosperity, every week
having its quota Of demand for Cars
locomotives and track material. LII
has been ascertained that orders Tor

TO SAW ON CONTRACT.
The Swallow & Hopkins Timber Not Sold to
Simpson s Brown.


Simpson & Bro wn, the firm who will
build the new saw mill at Fall lake
this winter have already made ar
engagements for logging their timber,
so we are informed. Three camps are
in course of constr uction one i'm the
Fall lake and two in the BURNSIDE
lake countries.
The impression gained ground last
week owing to the announcement in
the Duluth papers, that the firm had
purchased the rSwallow s. Hopkins
tracts of timber lands in this country.
This is erroneous. The firm will only
log and saw the timber on contract.
but their contract covers nearly the
entire tract containing about 100, O00,-
900 feet of white pine. The contract
also calls for the delivery of the lum-
Der on the cars at Ely for shipments
TO Eastern and Western markets.
The better grades bring the highest
prices in the east while the common
grades are marketed in the west.
The erection Of the mill will begin
at once to be in running shape by
Spring. A band mill is to be put in.
By the building of the mill on Fall
lake both that and the the Burnside
timber is available.

Canadian Ores.

A Duluth special to the dailles says
that since the resumption OF work on
the new railway project from Lake
Superior westerly through Canadian
territory, there has been marked
revival of interest in the iron ore de-
nosits of the Canadian country north
of Lake Superior. These deposits
have been known of in general way
by iron men for several years, but
have been entirely neglected on ac-
count of their distance from railways,
the universal ignorance concerning
them. the Canadian tariffs and the
tremendous discoveries of the Mesaba,
which have stopped all work in other
new districts of the country.
A month ago, work began on the
Ontario & Rainy River railway. that
is designed TO connect the line now
building from Winnipeg eastward
with the old Port Arthur, Duluth &
Western, that reaches fifty miles
west from Lake Superior. Within a
month. locations have been made OF
available outcrops and vein indications
for no less than thirty miles along the
Atikokan and Mattawan ore ranges
near which the road is expected tt
pass.
Indications are that new and en-
ornous deposit of iron ore OF high
grade has here been found, and the
economic importance of the discover,
may be as great as that following any
discovery in the lake country except
that of the Mesaba. The Atikokar

THE MINES.
Work at the Chandler. Pioneer, Zenith and
Savoy Mines,

Savoy Mines,
Since last week the Miller-Brown
property on Section 26, now controlled
by the Oliver company has been nam
ed the Savoy mine, very appreciative
change from the old appelation Of
''26." At this mine everything is
pushing along at fair gait. The
grading for the spur track to the
mine is nearly finished and timber is
on the ground for erecting the coal
dock. A considerable stock pile is at
hand, but we are not prepared to say
whether it will be shipped this season
OF not. Capt. Nick Cowling is in
charge of the Savoy and those who
are acquainted with the captain feel
the mine in safe hands.
At the Zenith nothing strange or
startling has occurred of recent date
the work moving along at lively
clip. The large coal trestle is nearly
completed. The pumps have been
MAYED from the seventh level to the
bottom and put to work.
All the Pioneer the work of I'M
watering is progressing rapidly. A
visit there Monday afternoon develop
ed the fact that the water in theshaft
has receeded 20 feet. The large bail
ers are continually on the go bringing
up about 1900 gallons of water every
minute. The load on the rope is esti-
mated at 10 tons, but the engines are
operated in balance so steam is only
used to hoist water and portion of
the rope. One bailer goes up and the
other down.
In addition to the bailers, the large
Prescott pump was put in operation
on the seventh level Sunday. The
pump will handle easily all the com
ing water and the bailers will do the
rest. The pump is being supplied by
means of the air lift spoken of last
week. The lift is somewhat simple
affair but it is effective and requires
not much attention. 1t is simply a
6-inch pipe open at the bottom drop
ped into the water with much small
er pipe on the inside. Compressed
air is sent through the smaller pipe
and discharging underneath, the
buoyancy of the air throwing up a
large stream of water. Supt. Sturte
want informed a representative that
every thing was progressing smoothly
and that no serious bitches are
anticipated. Saturday night So
bailers were hOlSted. Figuring each
at 1900 gallons a total of $4,000 gal.
Ions of water was removed aggregat
ing a total hoist of $500 tons.
The last of the stockpile will dis
appear next week week after which
the grounds will be leyeled prepare
tory to receiving another stock. The
nature of the ground where the pile
was, caused a depression of nearly
eight feet in the center and laborers
have been busy the past week taking
the ore from the cave. 1t has beer
stated, l25 men were employed at the
Pioneer.
The force at the Chandler number:
about 400 men and the old standby is
| working along at a steady gait.
