On n Salary Basis.

A prominent Duluth taxpayer says
that The legislature will be asked to
take the necessary action to put the
office Of sheriff of ST. Louis county on
Il salary basis. 1t is d fee office at
present and the taxpayer in question
contends that tile revenue is out OF
all proportion to what the income
from the Office ought to be-about
four times too much, he claims. He
says:
"The Office of sheriff of st. Louis
county is one of the best in the state
of any kind from the standpoint of
revenue. 1t is unjust to the taxpay-
ers The Office. / am reliably inform
ed, is worth $4,000 year net to the
sheriff Now it seems to me that a
salary of S.. 900 IL year for the sheriff
would be a pretty fair income, and we
shall ask the legislature to help US
get it fixed on that basis. OF course
a change made in this respect will
not effect the present incumbent, as
he was elected under the fee system,
and it must prevail for two years
more at least. But $4,000 year net
income is too much for anybody to
expect of an office like that. The
sheriff now gets enough out of the
Office to pay himself S. 900 year and
pay the salaries of all the other cleo
tive court house officers lacking $780,
The register of deeds gets $4,000, pro-
bate Judge $4,000, clerk of the court
$500, county attorney $1,000 and
auditor $500. The net income Of
the sheriff would enable him to keep
$4,000 for himself and pay all those
other salaries have mentioned, with
the addition of $500. 1t should be
made salared Office without delay. +"

MINING MENTION.

= apt, w, j. Richards, who some few
months ago accepted the superintend-
ency of the Commodore mine at Vir-
ginia, left last Friday for Crystal
Falls, where, with the same firm of
Corrigan, Mckinney & Co.. he takes
charge of the Crystal Falls group.
Capt. Richards remained long enough
at the Commodore to place the mine
in first class shape and he will under
take similar task In his new field.
The Colonial Mining company of
Biwabik now at work sinking shaft
at their Kanawha mine properly.
The shaft will be put down Is feet
when the work of drifting from the
new shaft will be commenced. The
mine is now stock piling from the
slfaft for next seasons shipment and
are employing about forty men. This
mine will be operated all winter and
early in the spring the company will
pump out the Hale, the adjoining
property to the Kanawha which was
flooded during the heavy rains of last
summer. and put it in condition for
next seasons work. Capt. Frank
Thomas has charge Of the work.
The Chandler company have discon-
tinued drill work on the Quayle and
Kelly properties at Fall lake for a
time.
Capt. Harry Tregillis, formerly of
Soudan, but later of the Fayal at
Eveleth, has resigned his position
with the Minnesota company and has
go1e to Crystal Falls, Mich, where
he will be employed as mining captain
under W. J. Richards.
Active mining operations have been
again resumed at the Duluth mine at
Biwabik. During the cyclone on Oct.
6tl,ithe buildings on this property
were destroyed and the open pit filled
full Of che flying rubbish. Since then
they have been busy cleaning out the
mine and rebuilding the engine house.
A store house and blacksmith shop
areSnow being built. The Duluth up
to the present time has stockpiled
about 100 tons since the storm but
the work has been necessarily slow
The mine will be operated all winter
and as it is again in order the work
will be rapidly pushed forward from
now on with force of about so men.

Go After Them.

Acting upon the suggestion of the

and Il crusade started this week

The plan OF gerrymandering the
commissioners districts is not Il new

practicable up to this time owing to
provision against changing the
present districts within a certain
limit OF time. Now, however, the

not One trouble with IL strictly

would be that Duluth would get only
one commissioners, probably, instead
OF four out OF five, as now. This
would neceSsitate some altering Of
the shape OF the districts, so as to
keep part of Duluth and part Of the
ranges in each district. If this at
tempt is made the districts will be of
q most peculiar shape.
None OF the members of the board
are willing to say what their inten-
lions are in relation to this matter,
but the coming meeting will probably
develop whether or not it is intended
to do anything with the PLAN"

Prohibit the Sale.

Executive Agent Beutner, of the
state game and fish commission, who
recently issued his annual report, re-
commends that the sale of all game
be prohibited as Il means of checking
its destruction by pot hunters.
The purchase ola suitable site for
fish hatchery is urged, the new site TO
include not less than forty acres of
ground. A car is said to be needed
for the distribution OF the fry, but in
this connection the Kindness of the
railroads is mentioned. The spring
shooting of ducks prohibited by law
is not effective, owing to careless
wording Of the bill. The same COM
plant is made against the law regard
ing the shipment of yenison. Both
are held to need amending. All mar
ket fishers, it is held, should be re-
qufred to secure a license from the
commissioner.

Mr.. BACON RESIGNS.

i Familiar Figure In the Developments OF

i d. III. Bacon, who for ten years has
served as president of the Minnesota
Iron company has resigned his posi-
tion and will leave shortly for New
York where he will become chairman
of the board of directors of the Tep-
nesee Coal, Iron and Railroad COM
pany.
MI. Bacon says that the position,
which is d much broader one in every
respect, carrying with it a higher sal
airy, was offered him several weeks
ago. He has had the matter under
consideration ever since, and lie took
a trip to New York a few days ago to
investigate the offer. After going
over the ground thoroughly with the
members of the company he gave them
his acceptance. The Minnesota Iron
company was notified of his intention
several days ago, and the members of
the board of directors are already
looking over the field with a view to
finding successor. The annual
meeting does not take place until
next June, though it is possible that
special meeting will be held to name
new president. Mr.. Bacon is highly
regarded as u mining expert. His ex-
perience began at the Cleveland mine
at Ishpeming about twenty-five years
ago, when he went in as timekeeper.
His ambition and industry led him to
devote himself to the science Of iron
mining. and in short time he be-
carAe superintendent of the Cleveland.
His success was marked and unin-
terrupted, and about thirteen years
ago he went to Tower to become gen.
eral uperintendent for the Mime
sofa Iron company. His duties were
widened until he became general man
ager, and he moved to Duluth Il
couple Of years ago. Ten years ago
he was elected president of the Min
nesota Iron company, which Office he
has held ever since. He occupies Il
similar position in over fifteen small
Ter mining companies of which the
minnesota Iron company is the par

about 4:30 on an alarm turned in
from the Cornfield corner near the
depot fire having been discovered in
the bed room in the rear of the

outside of a wetting. TO John Dens-
