DULUTH HAS AN IRON MINE.
Workmen Strike a Deposit Of Fine
Ore in That City.

BY Exclusive Wire from The Associated Press
Duluth, Oct. 1.-Workmen engaged in
making alterations in the First Ma
tional Bank building, at the most i'm
portant business corner in Duluth, to-
day struck a deposit of iron ore under
the boiler room of the building. The
ore assayed sixty-five per cent. metal
lie iron, and 1t is said to be as fine
as anything ever found in this coun-
try.
The vein that was found by the
workmen was not large, but it ap-
peared to be an outcropping of a larg-
er deposit, and 1t is impossible to
tell where the bed of ore reaches. 1t
may extend up and down along the
most prominent business street in
town. 1t is in such shape that 1t Is
impossible to tell much about 1t ex-
tent at present without making ex-
cavations that the owners of the
building do not desire to risk at pres
ent.
Considerable interest is taken In the
find for the reason that this point
is distant eight miles from the nearest
known iron deposits OF the Minnesota
ranges, and the presence of ore here
has never been suspected. If the de-
post should prove to be extensive, 1t
throws the subject of iron develop
ments wide open. and mining men will
not undertake to say how great the
deposits of ore under this county may
prove to be.

Surgeon Generals Office,
Washington, Oct. l, 1900.
To the adjutant general Of the army.
Sir: My attention has been called to pub
lished statement attributed to me, opposing the
army cantcen. presume this statement as
published is practically what said some years
since when interviewed upon the subject, al
though do not at present remember to whom
it was given. l did not at first look with favor
upon the proposition to sell beer to soldiers at
army canteens. That opinion was not based
upon personal observation, as l had not been
stationed at military post since the canteen
was established. Owing to the general con.
census of opinion among line officers and medical
officers Of the army who have had ample oppor.
tunity to observe the effect Of the army canteen
upon the habits OF our soldiers, I am obliged
to admit that, from practical point OF view,
II seems to have accomplished very desirable
results in reducing the amount OF drunkenness
In the army and the disposition on the part of
the soldiers to leave their stations for the pur'
pose OF obtaining spirituous liquor.
Very respectfully

BIG GOLD STRIKE

Rich Bed Of Ore Found Under Tabor

BY Exclusive Wire from The Associated Press.
Denver, Oct. IA gold mine under
the Tabor Opera House and the post
office. What travesty of fate!
Senator Tabor, the man who built
the opera house and gave the govern.
ment the land for the federal building
died in poverty, wrecked by mining
speculations after having made a for.
tune in mines.
A man boring water hole in the
alley between the two buildings struck
ore this morning.

There was futter Of excitement
among the well-workers, an1 John M
Mitchell, an old miner, who is en-
ployed nearby, was summoned and
shown a lot Of ore. He critically in.
spected the rock and pronounced 1t the

ut seems passing strange that Hor-
ace w. Tabor, the first of the great
miners in Colorado, who died after
losing his wealth, should have built
the opera house over a bigger mine
than he ever owned" said one of the
federal officials
The we'll men think that If a shaft
is sunk near the we'll they ought to
have small portion Of the profits, as
through their efforts the discovery was
made. 1t Is astonishing to find gold
mine in the heart of Denver, but moth
ing is impossible in a mineral way ir
Colorado.
Property owners in the neighborhood
are intensely interested in the result OF
the assays, which will determine
whether it is advisable to sink shafts
in the neighborhood and actively mine
the earth. Lawyers are being consult
ed regarding the mining rights of city
property owners and the possible eX-
tent of claims within the corporate
limits of city.
All sorts of rumors are flying about
the well has now reached depth OF

eight feet. This is the second attempt
to sink we'll in the alley. The first
time the drill broke at a depth of SOC
feet and new hole had to be started
