The force of working men at
the Section 26 mine. on which
the Oliver Mining company, a
Carnegie concern, has an option,
have mostly been laid off. A
telegram from DR.. Hulst, the
superintendent of the Carnegie
interests, to lay the men off and
put the drill at work in the end
of the drift was received by
Capt. Nick Cowling, This, pro
badly, is owing to the fact that
the option held by them runs out
about May /. and it is DESTROYS
to push matters in regard to
finding the extent of the ore
body, which can be done more
rapidly by a drill than drifting.
Nothing can be learned at pres
ent as to the course the company
will pursue in the future. DR..
Hulst is expected here the first
part of this week.

NOT BUYING NEW MINES,


The Cleveland Iron Trade Re
view says that the rumors of the
purchase of various additional
Mesaba range properties by the
Oliver Iron Mining Co. have
gone through the newspapers
with many variations. There is
no foundation for the statement
that the Carnegie Oliver inter-
ests are negotiating for any more
Mesaba mines. The statement
connecting the Duluth, Pillspury
and Franklin with the Pittsburg
company doubtless grew out of
the deal by which 100000 tons OF
ore from these three properties
will be taken this year, and the
production of the Mountain Iron,
Mesaba Mountain and Lone Jack
shortened that much. This ar.
rangement, it is believed. open
ed the way for the starting up
anew of the Franklin mine. The
Bessemer shaft of this property
has been opened and 80 men are
at work. 1t is expected that tie
whole mine will be unwatered
and worked this year and sever
al hundred men employed.

OBJECTS TO PROPOSED SALE.

John M. Sellers, Robert W.
Hunt and Morris Sellers began
an action in district court yester
day against the Sellers Ore com
pany in which it is alleged that
the company threatens to dis
pose of the mining lease to lands
in section $50 20, and the plain
tiffs asks that in the event that
the threat to sell the lease is
carried in effect the company be
restrained from disposing of it
to anybody but John M. Sellers.
The complaint sets forth that
the Sellers Ore company IS cap
italized at 100000, fully paid
up, and that the plaintiffs OVID
one third of this stock. It is al
legged that in 1896 the company
operated the mine owned by it
and cleared $50, 900, and that in
1897 the plaintiffs were willing
to continue to operate the mine,
but the defendant stockholders
were in the majority and refused
to allow the work to proceed and
the company lost s44, 900, and
have since refused to allow the
mine to operate.
It is alleged that tie defend
ant stockholders held a meeting
on April 10 and a resolution was
adopted authorizing the presi-
dent and secretary, William c..
Fownes and J. Ramsey Speer, to
sell the lease in violation to an
agreement with John NJ. Sellers,
which requires that he be gwen
80 days notice. Before this res
olution was voted on it is set
forth that a protest signed by
each Of the plaintiffs was served
on the directors.
It is further alleged that the
value of the lease to John M.
Sellers is $4,000, and that when
the lease is sold the company
will be wholly insolvent and that
the above amount will be lost.
For these reasons the plain
tiffs asks that the defendant dir
ectors, who, in addition to the
president and secretary, are Civ
en- as H. G. Fownes. James
Remphill, G.. A. Steiner, Z. l..
Fitzhugh and John z. 'Speer, be
forever restrained from dispos-
ing of the lease involved in the
case.
The Lake Superior Consoll-
dated Iron Mines company is the
prospective purchaser of the
Sellers lease. The Schoernberg
Steel and Carey Furnace com
panies of Pittsburg are said to
control the lease and the Carne-
gle interest recently absorbed
the Carey company. The failure
of the leaseholders to continue
shipping ore from the Sellers
mine is SAID to have been on &C
count of their ability to purchase
ore cheaper than they could mine
it and pay the fixed charges. M.
Fl. Alworth Of Duluth and the
Hull and Boeing estates own the
fee Of the Sellers property.
1,IT BE REQUESTED TO PROVE 1T.
At county convention of the
W. G. T. U. held at Oaeota a
week since, upon representation
made by Mrs. Emily Merritt,
that body passed a motion ex-

the public school system and a
disgrace to ST. Louis county," at
least twas so reported in Duluth
papers.
Mr.. Stultz naturally felt some

Mrs. Merritt for ar explanation
and says that she admitted that
the subject was brought up by
