Mr.. Grattz, in charge of the field oper-
atoms of the johnson Nickel company
was in town this week. This company
has been prospecting their largeAoldiugs
in Cook County, MIMI. with adiamond
drill, the operations extending over a
year now. During that time large
number of holes have been bored, several
OF them being over a thousand feet in
depth. The odject is to ascertain the
probable depth Of the various deposits Of
iron ore. A peculiar feature of the work,
MIR. Grattz says, is that IN none of the
holes has water been encountered. Cook
county, We might say is that part OF
Minnesota which lies adjoining Algoma
and extends from Lake Superior up to
and past Guntlint Lake. There are ex-
tensive deposits of iron, nickel and other
minerals. In one Of the cuts made by
the railway to reach Paulson's mine a
vain of graphite was uncovered.-Port

Fine Season Looked For.

G. W. Turner, of Chicago, general
manager of the A. Booth Packing Co.
was in the city yesterday in consultation
with John Coventry, manager of the
local Office of the company, in reference
to the coming season. It was decided
yesterday to tit out the steamer S. B.
Barker as soon as possible and place her
On the south shore run at the opening
of navigation. The Barker was laid up
all of last season because it was not
thought profitable to run her, and the
fact that she is put out again this year
is an indication that the Booth COM
pauy is looking forward to an active
year in its business. The steiner Dixon
will be on the north shore run as usual,
and she will start as soon as possible.
The Herald saw Mr.. Turner yesterday
afternoon at the Spalding in reference to
d report that the Booth company would
put on new boat for Lake Superior
this year. "The report is somewhat pre-
NATURE" he said. 1--WE are contemplate
ing the construction of new boat, and
in all probability it will be running next
year, but it will not be ready in time
for this years business. The only new
move we shall, make here is to start out
the Barker on her old south shore run.
Duluth in common with the 7est OF
the country" continued Mr.. Turner
''seems to be just entering on an era OF
prosperity. I have visited Duluth sev-
eral times year for number Of years
and l find this time an entirely different
feeling. It is different even from what
it was when was here a few weeks ago
We are looking forward to an active
season in our line, and I think Duluth
will see an exceptionally good season
It is going to be a great season on the
lakes. Down in Chicago they are fitting
up everything that can be made tc
navigate the lakes. Some old craft tina,
have not been out for several years art
being made ready for the lake trade. ano
there will be more vessels on the lakes
I his year than there has ever baen be
fore. - Duluth Herald.

GUNNGRY PRACTICE.
Perils That Outsiders Know Little


About.
An officer Of the United States navy
relates the following as illustrating
some of the perils Of gunnery at sea:
Il came very near going up into the
air in small bits on this last squadron
cruise. We were at heavy gun practice
at sea, and but for the Guickness of a
gunner's mate would have never re-
turned. AS you probably know, the
heavy guns in the turrets are fred by
electricity, the gun being discharged
simply by pressing button The Off
Ger in command of the forward turret
on our ship during rapid-firc practice
was just about to press the button to
fire one of our big guns when gun
ner's mate was seen to grab at some
thing On the wall of the turret and then
fall in a heap on the floor. The officer
pressed the button, but the gun was not
discharged. When the mate came to he
was asked what had happened, and he
Informed the officer that the breech of
the gun had not been locked, and that
what he grabbed at On the wall was the
wires forming the electric firing cir
cult. When he saw that the officer was
preparing to fire the gun, and at the
same time observed that the breech of
the gun was not locked, the only thing
that occurred to him to prevent the gun
being discharged was to destroy the cir
cult, which he did promptly and effect
lively. When all this occurred there, was
q charge OF $50 pounds CT powder in the
gun, another charge of the same size in
the turret ready to be served, and the
i,assageway leading to the powder mag
azjne was wide open. But for the quick
ness of the gunner's mate the gun would
have been blown out inside the turret,
the gases from the burning powder
ould probably have ignited the charge
lying in the turret. this explosion would
have ignited the powder insthe maya
zine, and the chances are thatthe whole
ship, crew and all, would have gone up
in the air. A thought that has occurred
to me is this: Suppose the accident had
occurred, what do you imagine the YER
dict of board of inquiry asto the cause
| of the loss of the ship would have been ?
Since his experience the department has
adopted electrical means to prevent the
discharge of any of the large guns until
the breeeh is locked '-San Francisco
Chronicle.

A Wild Deer Blew in His Face.

"A gentleman who was fishing on
Seventh Lake, n. Y, few days ago
became tired and sleepy. So he an
chored his boat near the shore in q
shady spot and lay down in the bottom
for nap. After awhile he was awak-
ened by something blowing upon his
face, and when he opened his eyes he
saw big buck standing to his belly
in the water beside the boat and will
his nose close to the fisherman's face.
The gentleman lay quite still, rather
enjoying the. situation. About thai
time another boat came around the
corner into the little cove, and the buck
with a bound Disappeared the woods:
