A. NJ. Chisholm and DR.. Dana

bered among the recent lucky
ones of Mesaba prospectors,
having struck an immense ore
oody on section 80, $500 some
two miles northeast of Hibbing.
1t is stated that one drill hole on
the property penetrated the ore
body to depth of 400 feet. The
extent of the find has not as yet
been fully determined.
It has been reported that the
mining property near Mesaba
station on the Iron Range road,
upon which the Minnesota Iron
company recently allowed an op-
tion to lapse, has. been re op-
toned. The report is also de-

mining circles that the Minne>

mere surmise.

A deal has been made for the

is supposed that the Minnesota
Iron company has obtained a
lease of the property. There
was cash consideration for the
fee owners and royalty of 25
cents a ton applies on an annual
output of $4,000 tons.

Wellington r. Burt, of Sagi>
nav. Mich, owner of the fee of
the Burt and other properties in
$500 held under lease by the
Consolidated Iron Mining conn.,
panY, has entered suit in district
court asking for the cancellation
OF the leases. He charges that
the defendant has attempted to
bring about a monopoly or trust
on Mesaba iron ore by keeping
properties out of the market and
by liking an exorbitant freight
rate for ore on the railroads con-
trolled by the concern. It is all
legged that this attempt is keep
ing iron properties dorman6 that
ought to be developed. The suit
for cancellation is based upon
the ground that the defendant
has failed to comply with the
terms of the lease in that it has
failed to mine as much ore as it
would have been profitable to
mine. Burt leased the property
in 1891 to Frank Hibbing, who
assigned the lease in '92 to the
Lake Superior company. Sub
sequently lit went through the
hands of E. B. Bartlett and G.
W. Wetmore, who assigned it to
the New York & Missabe Iron
company, and in November, '94,
this company assigked it to the
defendant, It provided for a
royalty of 80 cents a ton on a
minimum output of 10000 tons a
year, and it also provided that
the lessees should mine as much
ore In addition to the minimum
as they could protitably. 1t is
on an alleged violation of this
latter clause that the suit is bas-
ed. Burt alleges that he did not
know until last January that the
lease had been assigned by the
Lake Superior Iron company,
and he alleges that all of the
parties through whose hands the
lease went were identified with
the interests of the Lake Super
ior Consolidated. The plaintiff
is one of the rich men of Michi.
gan, and a stubborn legal battle
| is booked.

The Mahoning Iron company
is reported to have made an ex-
tensive find of hard ore of good
quality in section 4-61-15. The
land is located about a mile
south of the Minnesota mines at
Soudan and according to reliable
information it is learned that the
vein is more than 100 feet wide.
and to a known depth of 100
feet. AS this formation like all
others on the Vermilion range
stands vertical. there is no way
of estimating how deep it may
go. 1t is expected that the Ma
honing company will sink a
working shaft this season and
begin the development OF the
mine, as they are known to be
anxious to get hard ore mine
| in order to have the necessary
mixture for their soft ore on the
Mesaba range. The Oliver Min
ing company it is expected will
encounter the same vein as that
struck by the Mahoning people
if they have not already done so.
They have had a diamond drill
working Immediately west of the
Mahoning find for some time. Il

Thousands of letters were writ
ten, memorials were printed and
information furnished to con-
gress. During the last four
years the Settlers Association
has received letters from almost
every congressman and senator,
two secretaries of the interior,
and one president of the United
States, besides several govern
ors. A number of newspapers
in the eastern cities were in
duced to advocate the bill. Dur
ing almost every debate upon
the bill information furnished
by the Settlers Association was
used by the congressman from
our state; and the congressional
record contains numerous evi-
dences of this work. It is to be
hoped the settlers appreciate the
hard work Messrs. Gambl and
Burke have done for them and
that by taking advantage of this
generous gift of the government
they will benefit themselves and
the country at large

Mrs. Chris Wempner, of Grant
Center Twp, and her sister Miss
Annie Mullen, of this city, went
to ST. Paul Tuesday night to at
tend the funeral on Wednesday
of their sister, Miss Fanny Null
len, who met with a tragic and
sudden death last Sunday.
About eight o'clock upon the
evening in question a cyclone
storm swept across part of the
city. Miss Mullen met her death
while kneeling at prayer in st.
Luke's church. The brick
chimney, torn loose by the wind,
fell through the roof to the
floor, tearing huge hole in the
floor where Miss Mullen was
kneeling, and precipitating her
into the cellar. The deceased
was 25 years of age. Two other
persons were killed in the same
storm, Patrick Sexton and John
M. Lang. Mr.. Sexton was en-
gagged in tne cigar business and
occasionally travelled out over
the road. He was in this city
only about two weeks ago.

think best that any should be hurled
beyond their strength. Many good
pupils are not strong and may do
some of their work we'll but not be
able to complete their grade. Do not
think they have not done we'll because
not promoted. Circumstances should
be considered.
Generally when your children out
grow their clothes you get more cloth
and make them new and larger suits.
l know good friend of mine who
could afford but one nice broad cloth
suit for himself and several handsome
sons, young men: the boys took turns
going to see their best girls, and the old
gentleman had to get up pretty early
Sunday mornings when he wished to
wear the suit, on special occasions.
Now your children, in number, have
outgrown their schoolrooms. We have
twice as many children as school room
for them.
The best we can do next year,
everything considered, is, in some of
the departments, at least, to have half
the children in the forenoon and the
other half in the afternoon, both for
the sake of their health and comfort
in the work. We have literally pack
ed them this year and the school
is growing. Packing is not conducive
to growth, mentally morally, or phys
ically. The parents will have to help
see that the children keep "study
hours at home one half of each day
and come to school to recite and re-
ceive help from the teachers the other
half, as may be arranged. This will
bring teachers and parents nearer
together for the benefit Of the children
and may be for their good in many
respects, if inconvenient in others.
At any rate we hope for patience,
sympathy and cooperation till the
'School District shall see their way
clear to build.
In the mean time we shall hold, at
least once a month, a teachers and
parents meeting at the High School
rooms, to discuss such subjects as
shall be of mutual interest.
Yours truly for the public good.
