May Come to Ely.

The following taken from the Eve
ming Wisconsin, published at Milwau-
kee last Thursday brings the follow
ing information concerning this
range and its prospective acquisition
in the shape Of the E. P. Allis COM
pany:
''The E. P. Allis company. which a
few weeks ago acquired two mining
propositions on the VermfIf6n range,
has secured a third of 100 acres, and
has associated with itself s. S. Curry,
for many years manager OF the Norrie
mine, who will have charge of devel-
opments at its properties. They will
be opened and mined the present year.
The new property is known to contain
iron in bundanee Negotiations are
pending for the lease to another east
ern machinery manufacturer of min
eral properties on the Vermilion,
which will be opened and operated as
soon as possible"
The article has reference to the
lease recently taken of lands adjoin-
ing the Oliver property on Section 26.
Mr.. Curry has been here and it is un-
derstood looked over the field
thoroughly.

WorkiHg Options.

Three options were filed with the
register Of deeds in Duluth last week
for 160 acres of lands on this range
and near this city. The first optioH

both of Duluth, and it permits the
latter to purchase in two years for
$4,000. The second option is from
Volk to Henry L. Crane, of Mime
apolis, trustee, and the option is on
the same terms. The third is froa
Crane to L. Gross, trustee, OF Mime
apolis, and it permits the purchase of
the property in two years for So, 200.
In. the first two options the consider
alton is 81, and in the third it is $3.50.
In each the prospective purchaser is
given the right to explore for minerals.

More Charters.

There has been further charterinf
by ore firms in the past week and GO
cent boats have been readily obtained
for more than 1000, 900 tons of head
of-the-lake ore outside Of that placed
by the Carnegie Steel Co. Marquette
and Escanaba freights then came up
in turn and some season business has
been done at go cents from Marquette
and so cents from Escanaba. There
was some 60-cent ore from Marquette
last year at the beginning, but con-
siderably more was at IS cents, while
the Escanaba season rate in 1898 was
As cents. Thus the situation shows
more irmness On the part of the vessel
men, and the expectation Of shippers
that Scent rate could be establish
ed from Marquette, after the liberal
chartering at 60 cents from Duluth
and Ashland, has been disappointed.
A weeks effort has shown that vessel
owners are at last disposed to make q
stand. The boats OF moderate capa-
city and less, that have taken Mar
quette and Escanaba ore, cannot
make money on lower basis. Ore
sellers are not yet ready TO do bust
ness, though there has been some in
Quiry for non-BesSemer material in
the past week. The Bessemer pro-
ducers have not taken up the matter
Of prices in committee or in general
meeting yet, but something is expect
ed to be done within the next two or
three weeks.-Iron Trade Review.

giving US the gospel truth. We do
not know to what extent the govern
ment does Job printing, but We do
know that together with the combine
they make mighty hard pair to draw
against. a rise OF 10 and . drop Of go
cents! Who is getting rich and who
is getting poor? Surely not the print
ers, and If they don't take Of their
coats and get after somebody, the
next thing we know the government
will be printing masquerade bills and
calling cards.
The faithful in Duluth have been
most gloriously snubbed by Governor
Lind in the matter Of appointments
and now there is weeping and gnash-
! ing Of teeth. The city has always
considered herself the only pebble on
the beach and every Pop and Demo
crat in the place has appealed to the
new governor for sit at the capitol
and other places, and up to the pres
ent not one has been recognized.
Naturally this hot bed Of Populism is
hot and stories OF all kinds are afoat.
The grand sachems who have hereto
| fore dictated the appointments are
nonplu.sed and the self-styled leaders
are possessed Of deep hatred for the
new regime. The appointment Of
surveyor of logs and lumber for the
! Duluth district is plum every would
be politician OF the triangle stamp in
Duluth Is after. A gentleman named
Brady, Morris Thomas and John
Owens are the logical candidates with
chances strongly in favor Of Brady.
The Aesaba range papers are again
booming the county division project.
The thing should be kept moving and
county division must GENE. The Du-
luth News-Tribune naturally will yell
bloody murder but what do the
range people carer The Trib. can
see no good In anything but what
eliminates from its own bloated self
and looks upon the range newspapers
and citizens as legitimate prey for
Duluthinas. Times have gone by
when the ranges are controlled by the
ring of broken millionaires who claim
Duluth and its visitors as means Of
putting in cheap existence. Let us
get to work and bring up our own
county division schemes and carry
them through and if any of the Dull
nth Pops shove in their zap, woe to
them. The movement would have
borne fruit at the last trial only for
this three-partied concern who were
aiding as they supposed. So they
were-but for their individual benefit.
An effort will be made in the near
future to have the city council build
band stand at some popular spot for
the use OF our numerous bands
wherin summer open air free concerts
will be given. This is move in the
right direction and no doubt the
council will look with favor upon the
project. The bands say they are will
ling to do the fair thing during the
summer months by furnishing the
concerts. The citizens will appre-
ciate such an innovation and the cost
would be small To the city. Every
town that possesses band also has
band stand. We have good bands
and why not give the boys a chance.

erected the better it will be for those
who have valuable filings To be saved.
There is nothing made by buYing a

The humorous part Of the PskiZ-
K0chevar case has n0w arrived. The
judgment Debtor claims he Is not

hiss appealed to lis bondsmen to save
him. These gentlemen claim they
signed the bonds aud would be liable
Lut claim they did not sign bonds al
lowing the party to keep open house
on Sunday in defiance Of the state
laws. And there you are.
Our remarks OF a few weeks ago
stirred up few hornets however and
hereafter the bond question will be-
eeme more material. 1t is only too
true that not enough attention is paid
the matter OF saloon bonds. In the
ease mentioned above We have it from
pretty good authority that the bonds
men are not liable, but this remains
to be seen and for the courts to de-
eide. The matter Of obtaining secur-
ity on license bonds in our opinion
will be an absorbing question here
after and the favor Of going security
for some of our wet goods merchants
will not be so eagerly sought after.
The following from the Marshfeld
(Wis.) Times contains just q little
more than common sense. 1t Is
burning shame that the government
cannot keep their fingers out OF the
poor devils business: Last week we
received notice from the different
paper houses that. owing to a COM
bine, the price of envelopes had gone
I'D 20 cents a thousand. As the
ordinary country printer never carries
more than 100, 600 envelopes in stock,
it meant $500 to Us on our next 10, 900
order. Unless We charge our Gus
toners more per thousand than the
price formerly charged, our profits
would be eaten up by the 40 cents.
Well, we sat down and sympathiZed
with ourself and rejoiced that there
were hundreds Of other printers all
over the country affected the same as
We were. Presently customer came
in and hauded Us an order for 1000
envelopes. On being Informed that
owing to a rise in that kind Of sta
tionery we would be obliged TO charge
him an extra 40 cents on the order, he
got mad and declared he would not
stand it, well, what are you going
to do about it?" we asked. why I'll
patronize Uncle Sam; just wait until

he said. and presently he came back,
feeling as big as soaked Goldfish.

customers alive" he began. "Do you
know that instead of adding an extra

but unless the affair was carefully

if telephones are such paying insti-

Did those doing business advertise
and give the printer chance to live,
those looking for locations could see
this town was abundantly supplied,
and would go to other fields. Invest
ors, firstly order the local paper and
read it through. The paper acts as
an index to the town. From its pages
they learn Of the prosperity Of a place,
its resources and its business. These
are strange facts which probably
won't set well for some of the mer-
chants but they are true-only too
true. What would be the object Of

The town is well supplied with all
