CUTS HIS BILL.

At a session of the board oil
county commissioners held on
Saturday afternoon the October
bill of VIM. G. Sargent, sheriff,
for 81, 466 was cut to $1,000. 50, a
reduction of $463.5O, for illegal
charges claimed to have been
made. The statement is pro :
claimed, however, that much of
this discount is collectable from
the state, and that the officer
will lose but little.
The committee on claims and
accounts submitted a lengthy re-
port upon the recent report of
Public Examiner Kenyon, rela-
tive to illegal charges made and
collected by Sheriff Sargent, in
which it; finds adversely with
Mr.. Kenyon in some instances
and agree with him in others
The amount which has been
obtained from the tax. payers of
st. Louis county in this method
is unknown, but the amount-or
rather judgment thereof-may
be recovered in a civil action.

The Oliver Mining company

The Oliver Mining company
has plated strip of ground ly-
ing between the Zenith and Sa
voy mines at Ely, into 10O.foot
lots which are being leased to
employees Of the company at a
nominal rental, on condition that
they will erect houses on them.
AS still further inducement to
the men to build homes the COM
pany furnishes them with lum-
Der and all OTHER building ma
terial at wholesale cost on long
time. AS result of this policy
a number of houses are already
IN process of construc lion aud a
number of additional lots have
been leased. The Oliver com.
pany has designed these lots as
locations for homes for miners
who will be employed in the
operation of the Savoy, formerly
known as section 26, in partlcu
lar. The Savoy is one and one
quarter miles from the business
center of Ely, distance tvo
great for its employees to live in
the city and walk to and from
their work. With the men liv-
ing in their own home near the
mine the company will be as
sured that they will remain with
them permanently and not be
tempted to go elsewhere whan
the spirit moves them. The lots
are also handy to the Zenith
mine and will be leased by men
employed there as we'll. A sub
stantial residence is now being
built near the Savoy for the
superintendent of the mine,

ar THE CUNDY.

Capt. ]. H. Cundy, Of the
Cundy mine. Quinnesec, has re
turned from Chicago, where he
went few days ago in the in
terests of the company. Dur
ing his absence he closed con-
tract with the Webster, Gary &
Lane Machine company, of Ak.
ron, Ohio, for big hoist to be-
placed at the mine in Quinnesec.
A contract was also given for
three large new steel boilers.
The contract with the Akron
people calls 70" the completion
of the hosting machinery in 100
days. Capt. Cundy states that
as soon as the new machinery is
in place at least 100 additional
men will be put at work in the
Quinnesec mine and that this
will be a material help to the
town and it it expected that bus.

of trade.

all CAPE THANKS.

Not in many years have the
people of these United States
found as much for which to give
thanks to All.Wise Providence
as was found in a retrospective
review of existing conditions
throughout the country yester-
day.
Peace and plenty are the
fundamental basis of true
happiness, and those conditions
have been more apparent during
the past few months than for
several years last past.
With plenty of work and good
wages, the laboring man felt
thankful; and as the status and
conditions of the laboring class
IS the power which controls the
conditions of all, the mechanic,
the merchant and even the
editor-whose life is ever filed
with trials and tribulations-
found much cause for gratitude.

SUES 70 EJEcr TIiEN,

Thera is a new development ia
the case OF w. G. YaWkey
against the Commodore com.
pany, Mr., Yawkey recently
brought suit against the mining
company to recover about $50,
900, which is alleged to be due
on royalties, etc, and NV he
has followed it up with another
suit for eiectment Of the mining
company on the ground that it
has not complied with the terms
of it's lease. The chief claim in
this respect is that the mining
company has forfeited it's lease
through failure to pay the roy.
alties agreed on. The complaint
in the new suit has not been tiled
as yet but the answer has. The
answer sets up that another suit
is pending to recover from the
mining company a large sum al
legged to be due and offers a
counter claim to the amount OF
SIS, 900 damages resulting from
the sheriff taking possession OF
the property as a result Of the
beginning of the first suit. It is
alleged that Mr.. Yawkey,
through the sheriff. wrongfully
took possession of the property
under an attachment and that as
a result the mining company
was compelled to abandon oper.

Our Bro. Westcott, of the Ely
Times, who was among the de-
feated in the late contest, is nat
urally a trifle sore at not having
received his party vote. But
we would console our brother
with a plain statement Of fact
that an editor has no business in
politics, as a candidate. His po-
litical position is to aid other fel
lows to get office. No matter
what the circumstances may be-
personal or otherwise-he must
not fail to espouse the cause of

the other fellow may be trad.ng

must sound the praises Of the
candidate OF his party, no mat
ter what his feelings may be. he
must "whoop,er-up" fol party
and candidates, though he knows
he will be forgotten the moment
the ballots are counted. He
must defend the rottenness Of
party candidates from the at.
tacks of the opposition aud after
it is all over he must gracefully
submit to being ignored as of no
use on earth. # those candi-
dates be liars. dead beats and
political thieves he IS expected
to lie, If need be, to-. assist in
landing them in positions where
they can rob the public as we'll
as the individual. The editor is
the general utility man Of the
party and it's candidates in any
deal-dirty or otherwlse-ti1ey
see fit to put up and for all OF
this service he gets-well, he
gets criticism and abuse, princi.
pally. He is a handy man dur
ing the campaign, but at its
close he is even maligned as be.
ing political traitor and the
candidates and their friends,
while sitting at a game supper
after the close of the polls, even
condemn him as a political and
social outcast, unworthy the sup.
port afforded him by q newspa
per subscription, and their pa
pers are stopped forthwith. Gu,
Bro. Westcott is an aged and re-
vered member of the fraternity
and should have had practica:
experiences ere this to lead hin
to the same conclusions con

by the fraternity in general
which renders them so imper
vioos to the fattery aud fawn

OPENING MICHIPICOTEN COPPER
MINES.

MINES.
Thirty five miners and a quar.
tity of machinery and supplies
were taken to Michipicoten
island this week on the steamer
Telegram and tug Annie Clarke
of the Ainsworth & Ganley line,
says the Sault Ste Marie News.
The arrival of the miners on the
historic island, which has been
known for centuries to contain
copper, marks the beginning of
a development that will unques-
tionably be the most extensive
and of the greatest value of any
mining project in Canada.
Standard Oil company money is
backing the enterprise.
The development of the Mich.
picoten copper mine is directed
by Nathan F. Leopold, of Chica
go, and the work is a part of a
comprehensive and far reaching
plan conceived by him three
years ago, to gain control of a
large group of copper producers:
Mr.. Leopold interested Stand
ard Oil company capitalists in
the venture, and the result will
ultimately be the control of the
copper market.
Biologists and practical min
ing men, who have gone over
Michipicoten island carefully,
are united in the belief that rich
stores copper exists there and
can be developed at a profit.
The island is by no means IN
considerable in size and the
opening of one profitable mine
would be the signal foi a large
amount of exploration and de.
velopment elsewhere in the
neighborhood. Mineral posi-
bilitles of Michiplcoten will have
their first fair test within the
next twelve months. That Mr..
LeOpold's work will direct the
attention Of capitalists to the
north shore of Lake Superior,
which is rich in iron, copper,
lead. silver and gold, may be
taken for granted.

Il NE,r YEARS DINNER.

Labor Commissioner Powers
has au Invitation to dinner JAN
1 that he is looking forward to
enjoying with peculiar pleasure.
1t is contingent on several hun
dred men, and slip on the part
of any one of them would break
the engagement. A year ago
last January Capt. Pengilly,
manager of the Chandler mine
at Ely, told his foreman that if
ne could go through the year
without a fatal accident in the
mine he would give them and
their wives the best dinner Ely
could furnish on New Years
day. For eleven months the
mine escaped. and three weeks
of the twelfth month. On Dec.
20 some planks were being
thrown down the shaft for shore
ing, and man 600 feet from the
surface was handling them. AL
though he knew the timber was
coming down. he thrust his head
out from the level just in time to
be hit by one of the planks. His
carelessness cost HIM his life.
And, though 1t was not strictly
a mining accident, the dinner
was off. The first of this year
Capt. Pengilly renewed his in
vitation, and so far there has
been no accident in the mine.
that, Mr.. Powers says, is a
unique record in deep mining.
With the main shaft 800 feet
deep, with from 800 to 700 men
employed, to go through one
year and ten months of another
with but one serious acciden
and that an individual workman'S
carelessness, is highly &C ditable
to tie managers. Capt. Pen.
gilly has always labored fol-
freedom from accidents and the
Chandler has had surprisingly
clean record for years. There
IS probably no other mine ia the
world of it's dimensions that has
been so free from fatalities. 49,
