THE WEATHER.
THE TWO EXTREMES.

When the pinching cold comes in. And drives the sweating outs We'll tip the balance with pin,
 To save our freezing snout. The horse Is staying in his stall,
 The foxes are forlorn And. the blue jays, crying all
 For chestnuts and for corn. Our feet are cold, ,'and what to do
 To keep them sweet and warm
 Is just to stick ihem down into Right where the bubbles form. The "microscopp1ns" jump and play, In ecstacy; ohI lungsi Why do we bear their "fooleray," And let them shut our bungs? 'Tis snow and sleet and lightning, toos Then calm, as is & clam- Then suddenly you rush, and through The coal you give a jaml Oh, where is that equilibrium
 That's ''coming right along2" We figure on this puzzling sum, Then drop to sleep in song.-TG. ". B.

Atikokan Range,

Martin Pattison of Superior has
just returned from the Atikokan iron
range in Canada where he and several
other head of the lakes people have
expensive holdings of iron property
says the News-Tribune. Mr.. Patti
son says that the Ontario & Rainy
River railroad is making good progress
toward the range and that it will
reach there by next fall and perhaps
sooner. Mr.. Pattison says that he
and his associates figure on opening
up their property next year if the
business outlook at that time seems
to warrant it. He says that other
owners of property are beginning to
figure on opening iron mines on the
Atikokan in the next year or two.
The AtikOkan iron range is said to
contain the largest deposit of iron
ore known to exist in Canada. 1t Is a
black magnetic ore, low in phosphor-
us. The magnetic ores are said to be
not as desirable as those that. do not
posses this property for the reason
that they do not flux as easily and
well as henon-magnetic ores of the
same class. Modern machinery has,
1t is said, greatly overcome the objec-
ton to magnetic ores and the iron
ore men are beginning to observe
disappearance of the old prejudice
against these ores. Plans are already
under consideration for ore docks at
Fort William or Port Arthur at one
or which points the Ontario & Rainy
River road will deliver the Atikokan
ores.
1t is expected in some quarters that
there will be quite a rush for the
Atikokan Iron fields in the near fut-
ure. 1t is reported that the Mime
sofa Iron company may be among the
developers of mines on this range.
The ores from the Atikokan range
may be brought into the United
States in bond and shipped out of the
country again without the payment
OF duty. The growing export BUSH
ness Of this country will make this
plan OF operation very simple.

To Save Expense.

During this week. County Auditor
Halden will make ii tour of the ranges
and will appoint deputy county aud
itorS in the various cities, towns and
villages of the county with power to
issue license to hunters during the
game season. The auditor will ap.
point such deputies from among bust
ness men or pablo officials of the diff
ferent places.
At present should anybody in any
part Of the county outside of Duluth
wish to go hunting. he would have to
pay his fare to Duluth as we'll rs his
fee for the license for the law provid-
es that such an applicant must appear
in person. The appointing Of deputy
auditors will save people in the county
and not near Duluth considerable ex.
pense.
Deputies will be appointed at Tower
Ely, Virginia. Eveleth, Sparta, Iron
Junction, Biwabik, Hibbing, McKin-
ley, Mountain Iron, Mesaba, Culver
and the different townships.
The game and fish commission
which gets all the fees derived from
the granting of licenses to hunters
refuses to furnish the county auditor
with hunters license blanks. The
auditor has had talk with the assist.
ant attorney general. who advised Mr.
Halden to get the blanks printed and
keep out of the sum realized from the
licenses the amount paid out for the
blanks. This is what Mr.. Halden has
resolved to do.

New Scrip Much in Vogue.

The prospects are that there will
be no more land rushes incident to
the opening of the new towns in the
Duluth district. Up to this time
little land in the unsurveyed towns
was taken before the towns were for
mally opened. Occasionally Il man
would locate some high class scrip on
unsurveyed lands but this was not
frequent for desirable scrip was scarce.
Now there is new kind Of scrip in
circulation which is apparently quite
plentiful. and which is known as for
est reserve scrip. A the Duluth land
Office during the past two weeks more
than 1000 acres of land have been APP
pr0priated under it. Most of this
land is in unsurveyed town and it is
said that nothing can shake the claim
to land under the scrip except prior
sett Iement.
The scrip is said to bring about S.
an acre. 1t was issued by the gov,
eminent at different places in lieu of
forest lands which the government
desired to retain, and gives the holder
the right to locate a similar area Of
land in any Othter part Of The United
States where government lands are
Obtaiuable.
The result Of the free application Of
scrip to the unsurveyed lands in the
Duluth district, which is done at
present, will it is said be that the
best lands will all be taken before the
towns are thrown open for settlement.
The people that are scripping land
are after pine and minerals in almost
all cases at least it is supposed they
are. The laws of Minnesota do not
recognize any mineral lands in the
state and in a legal sense there is not
a pound of ore in She state, the min
eral laws never having been applied.
