Detriment the Town

! There are in Ely as in every com
munity men who are eternalty chew
ing the rag. Ii it isn't about their
own affairs it's about. somebody else's,
or about the city they live In. He has
a garden full Of grievances. Every
merchant is trying to cheat him; his
taxes are too high; the weather too
cold, and in short, he hasn't a good
word for his neighbor, the community
or the city lie lives In. Speak to him
Of the big bargains our merchants are
giving and the old rag gets between
his teeth and he tells you of place
in Chicago that double discounts our
home merchants. He calls them rob-
bers and he'd rather see John Jones
starve than to buy dollars worth
Of anything from him. He knew him
when he did not have clean shirt to
his back. and with sly wink he
guessed he wouldn't have now if his
debts were paid, and yet he has rob-
bed his customers of thousands of dol
lars. The public schools don't suit
him and he tells you how they made
scholars learn when he was a boy, and
ten chances to one, he couldn't tell
you whether Duluth is in Wisconsin
or Minnesota He doesn't believe in
public improvements. A city that is
bound to grow will grow anyway,
without throwing away money paving
streets or building sewers, When he
meets stranger and is asked concern
ing the town he lives in, he shrugs
his shoulders and unfolds his tale of
woe. Nothing suits him, and the
stranger leaves with bad impression
Of the place where this rag chewer
lives. When he hears that the city
| is about to leave it to- a vote. of the
people, whether or not they should
bond the place for some needed i'm
provement, he is the busiest man in
town. The idea of going In debt! and
he starts out campaigning against
any effort in that direction. Possibly
he pays a tax Of So but he has more to
say than the man who pays $500.
Some man who has done more in one
day for the city than he has in his
lifetime, dies, This rag-chewer is
glad of it. He did not like him be-
cause he voted in favor Of buying a
hose cart, useless thing except in
case of fire. Should anyone mention
the local paper, he Immediately sticks
his nose in the air and remarks that
it don't amount to much. Why, says
he, ''our youngest child had bad
cold last summer and the paper never
mentioned it. Besides the editor is
always telling people to buy Of home
merchants, when / know the store
keepers are robbing their customers.
| l don't take the paper but my neigh
Dor does, and / read his. / only take
the Police Gazette and the Chicago
| Ledger, and the whole family reads
the stories." And SO he goes, year in
and year out, a stumbling block In
society and cancer on progress. He
is no more use to town than wart
on mans nose is to him and just as
ornamental to the community.

The Roberts Mining company re-
moved the boilers and machinery Of
the Colonial Iron company, from the
property of the latter, formerly known
as the Crosse claim to the townste
of Mckinley. Here Capt. Roberts
proposes to sink a shaft and do some
good exploratory work. The Roberts
property, about mile from Mckinley
it is also said will resume operations
within very short time. 1t looks as
though Mckinley was going to be one
of the towns of the range the coming
season. The Roberts will certainly
be good shipper this year as will the
Elba, the property of the Minnesota
-Eveleth Star.

Progress At the Mines.

EDITOR MENA STAR: Upon my arriv- al at the Texas & Arkansas Mlninp Co.'S. camp I was most cordially and pleasantly received by Mir. c. H. Reck- nagle, the secretary and treasurer, and MT. Daniel Byenes, general manager. was then invited to the mill to see the heavy machinery being hoisted in place by large ropes and pulleys. The huge and heavy pipes were being put in place which carries the smoke and fumes of the melting mineral to the large condenser, where it is met by several sprays of water which causes every particle of mineral to fall into the condenser and thus saved from be- ing carried of and lost through the fumes.
 The large boiler is up and in place and the foundation built for the heavy engine. The company has put in pow CT enough to run l00-ton plant, and they expect to increase their daily ca- pacity from time to time, as the case requires Their large mill house is be- ing finished as fast as the heavy ma chinery is put in place, and they ex- pect to fire up the furnaces the first of May. Cord wood chopping, charcoal burning and taking out ore are being carried on all at the same time
 With the tents. finished houses, now occupied. and other improvements the camp is lively place and presents B very business-like appearance.

 School teachers and candidates are very busy just at this time. Meet one in the road and, oh! so friendly. It's "Howdy. howdy: how do you do? how is your wife and how are you?"

Rock Hill Tribune: Every battleship made in the United States must draw upon Missouri for part of it's materi- al. Down in Madison county is the famous mine, Lamotte. which furnishes nickel and cobalt necessary in the con struction of the modern ironclad yes sells. There are no other nickel and cobalt mines in the country in opera tion. Mine Lamotte is said to be the oldest mine in the United States.

 The Rev. Lacy Boone preached Sun day. He is stirring up the church, hew- ing to the line. letting the chips fall where they may. Some are kicking because chip hits them once in a while.
