The Fayal mine at Eveleth is max
ling a handsome record and if it
maintains the present clip in the
matter of shipments, viii come near
er to forwarding 100000 tons than
10000 tons. the early estimate, this
season. The latter figure certainly
looks like very conservative estimate
in view Of the fact that the mine is
forwarding to the Two Harbors docks
every day 10000 tons. This is at the
rate of about i, $50, 900 for the season,
as 1S5 days is considered an average
season.-Duluth Tribune.
We will not mention names, but
will state plainly that the goings on
which characterized this otherwise
peaceful city during Wednesday
night, were altogether too strong
and should be stopped. The usual
conditions are bad enough On general
principles but when people who pose
as decent citizens cut disgraceful
shines and huge gashes into the NOR.
al atmosphere. it is time to call halt.
The next time anything occurs of the
nature of Wednesday nights rotten
ess, we will not shield anyone and
give the facts as they appear. In
the meantime an investigation would
prove profitable investment.
Don't ask the census enumeration
any questions, because he is supposed
to be as dumb as an oyster on all
matters concerning the population in
his district. The law says that an
enumeration who communicates tC
any unauthorized person the informa.
ton he gains in the performance OF
his duties. is guilty of misdemeanol
and liable to fine of not more than
$500. One reason for this is that ex.
perience has shown that enumerators
often make serious errors. Be con
tent, therefore, with answering the
Questions of the enumerators. 9th
erwise you will take up their time
and time means everything in this
count.
