Ore Movement Begins.

Two big ore cargoes have been IN
loaded at Lake Erie ports the past
wsek-the beginning OF the move
nsnt for 1899. The ore is from Es-
ssnaha. Lake Superior loading is
still delayed, however, d number OF
boats that attempted TO get out OF
Duluth on Tuesday, May 2, being
held back by the ice. Last year 25a,-
900 tons of ore passed through the
Sault in April: a week OF the present
month may pass before the record for
1892 is started In view OF the short
sned season and of the large amount
OF ore sold, preparations are being
made at Lake Erie docks TO give the
maximum dispatch this season. AT
Conneaut the Carnegie docks, as
soted elsewhere. will push unloading
work day and night.
At Cleveland the C. s. P ore docks
are under management OF NJ. A. Han
IA & Co, beginning May1. Increased
receipts for 1899 may be expected at
this port. 1t is evident, as the sea-
son 5 work begins that all the machin-
cry of ore transportation, from mine
~ furnace, will be taxed to do the
work laid out; and back of this is the
problem OF getting the ore from the
mines. In no recent year has there
been any much doubt about the abil-
ity OF the mines TO respond to the
call upon them Tie prices obtained
on later sales OF ore, in such lots as
have been left from the early rush.

Pike spawn Shy.

Executive Game Agent Beutner, on
hts recent spawn gathering trip to
Pike river near Tower, only secured
about 100000 eggs, or about / per
cent Of what he expected to secure.
Mr.. Beutner Saws his failure was due
to the high stage of water in the river
and the rapid current. Some sports
men however declare Mr.. Beutner did
not know how to gather the spawn.
Others claim that even the pike in
tEis country are averse to meeting

common booster.

Chandler Mining Stocks.

Chandler Iron Co. stock is held at
$50 and $50 There has been consid-
cradle inquiry for Lake Superior iron
mining stocks recently and all signs
point to further acquisitions by con-
summing interests sooner or later.
Some offers for Champion Iron Co
stock are reported recently at $40,
whereas the stock has scarcely been
quoted for several years. transactions

The Cleveland-Cliffs Iron Co. stock
has also been inquired for consider
ably of late. sales having been made

went as low as IS three years ago has
sold recently at SO and 81.

To Come This Way.

notwithstanding all the skepticism
displayed regarding the statement
that J. j, Hill is heavily interested
in the Yermilion and will extend the
Eastern Minnesota to this range, a
great majority OF the mining men
who seem to have reasons for saying
so, aver that the road will tap the
Vermilion at no great distant date.
Sayeral exploring camps and drills
west of Ely are said to be positively
backed by Hill. Work on che extern
sion to Virginia has not a. yet begun.
in fact it has not as yet been deter
mined whether the line will be built
from Hibbing or Stony Brook. From
Hiobing it would mean a COMPARE
lively small amount OF construction
but would mean longer haul. The
line from Stony Brook would mean
more construction work to reach Vir-
ginia than the other line, but the
haul would be shorter by 30 miles.
1t is regarded as quite probable that
the line will be extended to this
range in comparatively short time.
Ii it is the intention to so extend the
line it is thought that the VIRGINIA
extension will be built from Stony
Brook. In fact it is thought by close
observers OF the development Of the
ranges that the route of the Virginia
extension will practically settle the
question Of whether the Hill interests
will be carried over to the Vermilion
range. II the line is run from Stony
Brook it may be expected that the
Eastern Minnesota will one day be
operated on the Vermilion range.

evening.

In our last issue we made a little
error in regard to the revival meeting
that is to be held here in June. We
said that the Rev. W. A. Sunday was
to come here under the auspices of
the Presbyterian church, but we wish
to correct ourselves aud say he is
coming by personal invitation from
Rev. Kelly. All churches are invited
and every person in Ely will be heart
lily welcomed to the services. Rev.
Sunday is now at Wilmot, S. d. co.,
Quoting a booming revival. He will
come here before going to Tower as
Rev. Kelly has secured his services
right after he leaves Wilmot.

Bass Season Opens Monday.

The bass fishing season will open
next Monday, May Is. Reports indI-
cate that this species Of the fnny
tribe are very plentiful this year and
that this spring they are particularly
gamy and active. 1t is strange that
the fishing season should begin just
at the spawning time but such is the
law. The lakes in this vicinity are
well stocked with the gamy bass.

Through the Bridge.

An Eastern Minnesota ore train
went through the bridge at Super ior
Monday, killing the engineer and
dangerously injuring the fireman.
The train was from the Mesaba range
and was in charge of the transfer en-
CINE on the Great Northern system.
The bridge was at the approach to
the AlloueZ bay docks.

Change In Freight Time.

A new time card went into effect on
the d. & /. r. today. No change is
made in the time Of the arrival and
departure Of the passenger but the
running time Of the freight has been
changed and d schedule arranged for
the ore runs. The freight now leaves
Duluth at $50 p. m. daily except Sat-
urday and arrive at Ely at 700 a. m.
A refrigerator car will be attached to
this train on Tuesdays and Fridays.
The time card issued indicates that
no passengers will be carried between
Two Harbors and Tower Junction.
This practically means that passeng-
ers from Duluth to Ely will not be
carried. This announcement is be-
ing received with a protest here.
There is strong probability OF the
company being petitioned by Ely and
Tower people in few DAYS to attach
a passenger coach to this train to
accommodate travel to this range.
Those having business in Duluth now
and then would find this arrangement
very convenient.

Verdict Against Health Omcer.

In the suit of John Peterson against
Dr. De la Barre and others of Soudan
for damages alleged to have been
caused by the doctor diagnosing the
sickness of small boy Of the family
as black diptheria and having the
house quarantined, which was tried
in municipal court in Duluth, the jury
returned verdict fer the defendants
excepting David Owen, health officer
Of the town against whom the Jury
found $3.50 damages. The boy was
sick only few days and the father
sued for damages on the presumptios
that the case had been diagnosed
wrongfully.

begun on the No. pile Of Long Lake
ore. Owing to the heavy frost in thi.
pile not much Roadway has Teen
made so far by the shovel. A night
shift will begin work tomorrow when
1t is expecaed the pile will last but =
short time. The shovel has been en-
tirely rebuilt and is working well.
The workings in 61-15 near Tower
are progressing favorably. The Jour
nal says it it the intention to have a
working shaft in running order by
June l. Drill work is still being done
and it is claimed every hole is bottom
ed in ore. Mining men are OF the
opinion that this is one of the most
extensive veins yet discovered on the
Vermilion range.
The grading on the Pioneer spur
has been finished by Contractor Rum
quist and is ready for the ties and
rails. A week ago the larger part OF
the laborers on this Job quit for high
er wages. A raise Of Is cents a day
was secured.
The Barnhart steam shovel which
arrived for the Pioneer last week ba,
begun work and at present about 5000
tons OF ore are being sent out daily By
means Of the shovel and the daily
hoist. The mine has about $50. Ooe
tons in stock.
The Zenith is jogging along at an
even gait. The crews are constantly
growing as the underground develop
ment work progresses. All the ore at
present being hoisted is dumped into
the pocket and shipped. A small
stockpile is also at hand which will
be shipped this summer.
Gust Johnson and crew have be-
gun prospecting by means of test pits
on section 2, GIL. Considerable
showing has heretofore been made on
this property and the present work
will prove of vast benefit.
A diamond drill will soon be put al
work on section %, 63-l2 on lands
owned by r. B. Whiteside and Others
by Cole & Mcdonald. This property
adjoins the Anderson and the lands
will be thoroughly explored.
1t is reported that the drill work
ing at Robinson lake for the Hill in
terests by ]. NJ. Underwood, has tap
ped an unusually rich vein of ore.
The surface. buildings etc. at the
Pioneer have been wired for electric
lights which will be run in connection
with the trolley system.

Fire Department.

Until further notice the two COM
panies of the Ely Fire Department
will practice once week. No. !
company, George Holmes captain, is
called out for every Thursday evening
at O'Clock and No. company. John
Habian captain, for Friday evenings
at the same hour. Those members of
the companies who absent themselves
from these practices without a reas-
enable excuse, will be flied 80 cents
and after three such absences will be
expelled.
At a meeting Of the department
held Tuesday evening. Geo. Holmes
was elected captain of No. company
in place of III. E. Bartholomew re-
signed and moved away. The hook
and ladder company, John Gionotti
foreman will also practice Friday
evening.

the erection of the same will begin
shortly. A large pocket is being built
and Contractor Runquist is now grad
ing spur to the pocket The spur
will be nearly qnarter of a mile in
length. The mine has considerable
of a stockpile on nand which is grow
ing perceptably daily. Owing to the
location of the pile, the ore for ship
ment will probably be loaded by hand
this season or with steam shovel
into small dump cars and trammed to
the cars. Another season will see
things in an entirely different shape
at the Savoy.
The management Of the Pioneer
informs US that a scarcity of men
exists and that the mine could use
100 men Immediately. The contract
system at the Pioneeris meeting with
success 104 men were working COO
tract last month and the average
wages paid was 1929. The lowest
made on contract was s1.90 and the
highest run few cents over SO. 1t is
proposed os soon as possible to put
the entire underground workings on
the contract system. At present the
drifting is only being done on con-
| tract.
Besides the drill now being operated
by Cole & Mcdonald on section Is,
GIL for Arthur Ely ard company.
this firm will soon start another for
the Mahoning Iron Company in Sec
tion % of the same town. While
nothing definite can be learned as to
the work being accomplished on ID.
it is nevertheless whispered about
that the drill is meeting with success.
The machinery and wires for the
| trolley system at the Pioneer are in
and the motors will be running in
about ten days. Three motors will
run underground and one on the sur
face. H. A. Morgan, who is putting
in the system for the Link Belt Mach
inery Co. of Chicago, thinks ten days
will get the affair in running order
1t has been reported the motors
would displace number of men, but
this is not the case. 1t will do away
with the mules now doing the under
ground Training, The men will be
placed elsewhere.

deserved. We learn that several
others who own claims there will
soon begin exploring.
The cage at the Pioneer for the
raising and lowering Of men to and
from work is a novel continuance
The cage is built on the principle of
an elevator cage with upper and low
er compartments and will carry about
26 men. Woven wire work surrounds
the structure. When not in use the
cage hangs in the shaft house out of
the way of the skips. A windlass
carries the same to and from the shaft
and it fits tightly over the skip by
means of clamps. The clamps work
automatically as do the safety catches.
In test recently made when the rope
was cut the cage dropped less than
three inches before being caught by
the safety catches.
