Ore Movement.

The Iron Trade Review says: Re-
turns from all upper lake ports are not
available at this writing, but those
received indicate falling off in Au-
gust from the ore movement of July,
and confirm the indications already
pointed out, Of a REVISION of shipping
programs. While it was determined
some time ago that there would be no
concessions bn the price of ore origin
ally established for 1900, it is found
that some buyers are wanting modifi-
cations of their shipping arrange
ments. Ole that would be in furnace
yards if original schedules were car
ried out, i. still on mine stockpiles in
some cases OF course it must be TAX
en- eventual and paid for, but some
of it may hot come down until next
year. TIE amount of ore on Lake
Erie docks is increasing, in the past
week owing to the Threatened strike
at one Cleveland dock, now adjusted,
and the labor day shut down, vessels
have hadsome long waits.

Bad Washout.

The heavy rains of the past two

Highland. The south-bound passeng-

morning was delayed at Mesaba until
nearly o'clock. A train for the north
left Duluth on schedule time and ar.
rived in Ely at $50. The most for.
midable washout on the line was be.

ton the arrangement"
Under the proposed plan of county
division, with Virginia as the county
seat, there is not much truth nor rea-
reason in the argument of economy
and convenience. The cost from Ely
or Tower to Virginia or to Duluth
differs SO little that on that point
alone the case may be dropped. The
Inconvenience and cost OF getting
from Hibbing to Virginia at present
is also great. When st. Louis county
is divided it should be divided into
three counties and because the people
generally favor division, not simply
because the tax dodgers and office
seekers favor 1T.

the platform IF something that would
be of real benefit to the people of the
ranges as we'll as to those of Duluth
and Minnesota. Why did he not ask
for reduction of freight rates on
iron ore, provisions of every kind. and
also ask that the passenger rates be
lOwered-not lower than Mr.. FAY paws,
but below The published rates-the
rates paid by the miner who tolls and

Mr.. Fay and the Herald are both

than any possible saving that might

Mining Notes.

George w. Wallace, superintendent
of tile Fayal mine, of the Minnesota
Iron company's group, has resigned
and leaves the mine at once. He has
| a remarkable record. He has been
with the Minnesota company since
1881, and In December, 1894, broke
ground for the Fayal No. l shaft, 10
what was perfect wilderness. To
the close of this year the mine will
have shipped almost 100000 tons.
Last season its record was 1,076,00O
tons, and this year It will do mucll
more. Up to 1899 the mine had been
worked through three shafts, but
early in the spring Of last year Mr..
Wallace began stripping for an open
pit east of No. and before the close
Of the year lie had taken out of that
pit more than 100000 tons of ore,
though the surface was from twenty
to forty feet. During these years the
development of this mine has not suf-
fered by its immense production, and
today it is developed ahead for an an
nual production of 100000 tons for
the next forty or fifty years. It's en-
tire reserves have not been opened
yet, and only few days ago a large
body Of ore was struck in the north
eastern part of section s, near the
main mine and under lease, to the
company. A great many new meth
DDS have been introduced at the Fay
al, and it is probably the most inter-
esting iron mine all things consider
ed, in operation today.-Minneapolis
Journal.
The shipments for the month of
August of iron ore from the port of
Two Harbors, were $50, 900 gross tons.
While a fraction better than August,
1899. the movement was not as great
as anticipated. The flooding of the
Fayal, the biggest shipper of the
mines whose output passes through
this port, was considerable factor in
the falling off. The mine is now in
normal working order. The reported
lumber shipments were 3,110.00O about
halfof the actual amount forwarded.
The coal receipts were 1909 tons.
There were IA clearances.-Tw

County Division.

Editor Metcalf, of the West Duluth
X-Ray has the following to say Of
county division:
"Again the question of county divi-
sion has been brought to the front
this time 10y the Democratic county
convention, which insisted, against
the advice of the wisest element in
the convention, in inserting a plank
favorable to the county division in
the platform. No matter what
might be the feeling as to county d.
vision among the voters generally,
and no matter what might be the
merits of the question, it was a SER
ious mistake for the Democratic party
to endorse it. Those who for selfish
purposes two years ago put that mat
ter into the Democratic articles OF
faith and creed had an experience to
them no at all profitable. Will those
who, for like purposes, follow in their
footsteps this year, fare any better?
It is our opinion that they will not.
'sThe Minnesota Iron company is
known to be strongly in favor Of
county division, so that it can control
affairs there and escape with very
light taxation. Two years ago, on
consideration that the Democratic
organization would labor for county
] division, the officers Of the company

Wanted to Get Home.

On Saturday night Phillip Rapier found Dr. Robinson's horse hitched in front of the doctors office and decided to take ride. He rode to McMillan's
 ranch where, he found saddle that suited him better than the one the doctor rode. He came back through town and started south. Sheriff John- son got on his track Monday and over- took him near Camp Verde. Rapier was held by Justice of the Peace Quin- Ian to appear before the grand jury under $500 bail. Rapier is from Saf- ford, Graham county, and has been here but short time. He was a member of the First Territorial h. fantry and was good soldier. This is his first offense and he says he took the horse in order to get to his home.

School of the Nativity.

On Tuesday, the 4th of September, classes at this school will be resumed. The scholastic year consists of two sessions, each comprising period of five months. It is well-knOwn fact that the school is thoroughly graded and every effort is made to give the pupils a sound moral as well as in- tellectual training. At stated periods the pupils have reviews in the various branches, thus fitting them for the thorough examination which is made in all the classes at the end of each session. Besides this, monthly reports are sent regularly to parents and guardians. In connection with the school work this year and for the children's benefit, there will be class of plain sewing taught. The hours of attendance are as fOllows:-S:3O to F d. m.; to 3:3O p. m. For terms see Rev. F. billy.

Smith who lives near BuhlSr The
other was q little boy about nine years
of age the son of John Mckenzie Of
this city.
Suddenly the family was startled by
the report Of gun In the room upstairs
where the children we're playing On
Fastening up they found the little girl
with q large portion Of her face shot
of, The shot had killed herinstantly.
The little boy was nearly frightened
out of bis wits and could hardly speak.
On the floor laid an old discarded
shot gun, II had been laid away In a
room upstairs with large portion Of
the stock broken of and pretty well to
pieces. Somehow the children had
found II and a shell had also been
picked up somewhere which was
showed into II, The little girl must
have been very close to the muzzle Of
the gun when IL was discharged, as
her face was very badly powder burnt
The parents and grand parents of the
children are grief stricken beyond
measure, II should serve as warm
ing to all parents to be very careful
not to leave any sort Of fire arms where
children can get to them.
