FELL 10. HiY DEATH.

Last Thursday a young man in
the employ of the Fayal Mining Co.,
whose name we have been unable
to ascertain. fell from one of the
shaft houses and struck his head on
the end of an ore car with such force
as to kill him instantly. The facts,
so near as we have been able to
learn, fully exonerate the company
from all blame, as the accident was
the result of the boys own careless
ness
1t appears that he had started
down from the shaft house and
deeming the ordinary way too slow
mounted the banister and proceed
ed to slide. All went we'll until he
struck the first landing where the
angle of the banister changes to the
horizontal for few feet. Striking
this as he did with considerable
force, the railing broke and precipi-
tated him to the ground, distance
of some 40 feet, with the result above
stated.
10 be sure the accident is a Ia
mentable one and pains the com
Pany deeply, but as the ratings are
not intended for the use of ascent or
descent, it feels that it can in no
way be held responsible for the
death of its employc. The Eveleth

TOOK II LONG SLIDE

John kleno, a laborer on the Du-
luth, Missabe & Northern ore docks
at Oneota had a singular escape
from serious injury yesterday morn
ing. He was working on top of an
ore car, hammering frozen Jumps of
ore down through the traps at the
bottom of the car. He slipped and
tell, went down through the bottom
OF the car, down into the ore shute
which is just about large enough
to receive mans body, and from
the end of the shute he fell clear to
the bottom of the vessel. Altogeth-
er he fell a distance Of seventy-fve
feet. He was unconscious when
pulled out of the vessels hold, but
about the only injury was a small
bruise on the head. Not long ago
two men were killed within few
honrse of each other by falling down
into the hold of vessel, just about
third of the distance that Mr..
kleno fell.-Herald.

Burned II Death.
Operator Quigley, Of Reno, on
D. 81. R., is Caught in a
Burning Depot.
RESULT OF DRUNKEN BRAW1.

NAS3A4 W ONO1NAElN 0k<k4WI.
Reno, a small way station on the
Duluth & Iron Range a short dis
tance south of Allen Junction, was
the scene of horrible death Mon
day evening, the depot burning te
the ground, J. w. Quigley, night op-
orator, being caught and burned to
death in the building.
A train which passed the station
at about ten o'clock discovered the
blaze and stopped at a lumber camp
a short distance further on and re-
ported the matter. At the camp was
found drunken stranger, who said
he was at Reno when the fire broke
out, but was too full to remember
anything further than that he es-
capped from the burning building.
Later train stopped at the station
and brakeman unearthed portions
of human body in the debris, the
remains of Operator Quigley.
The thory of murder attached to
the case but has since been dispell-
ed, it appearing to everyone con-
cerned that the accident was the re-
suit of a spree and not of design.
Frank Highland, the one-armed man
who was with Quigley in the sta
ton at the time of the fire, says he
walked to Reno from Eveleth, and
when he got there found Quigley
with two jugs of whiskey and some
beer which hunters had left. He
says that Quigley was acting rath-
er queerly at the time, but that he
invited him to have a drink, which
he did; in fact they had several
drinks together, both becoming in
toxicated. According to Highland,
the stove was twice overturned in
the drunken carousal, and he lost
consciousness and tumbled on the
bed, not knowing what became OF
/ Quigley. A little later he awoke
and found himself nearly suffocat
ed by the fumes: Of gas and smoke
! He stumbled out of the station and
walked up the track to the lumber
camp, and here his recollection
(which is not very clear about any
stage of the proceedings, left him
again. He admits that he was toe
drunk to know just what happened
! The remains of the unfortunate
, man were taken to Tibbitt's morgue
in Duluth, where they were viewed
by Coroner Eklun /, who decided
| that there was no question that the
affair was an accident, and conclud
ed to hold no inquest.

WILL LOOK INTO OkE RATES

According to the St. Paul Pioneer
Press the state warehouse and rail-
road commission has instituted an
other investigation of the iron ore
rates of the Minnesota roads engag-
ed in the ore traffic, The suit, ac-
cording to the Press, has already
been commenced in the name of the
commission, and P. N. Ringdahl of
that body is supposed to be the
leading spirit.
1t will be remembered that SIM
liar investigation was instituted
some two years ago upon complaint
of John G. Brown, of Duluth, and
DR., Conan, of Superior. The case
ATTRACTED considerable attention at
the time and was hotly contested.
Later the: suit was Withdrawn. 1t
was popularly supposed at that
time that the Oliver Iron Mining
company was among those interest
ed in the struggle to get the ore
rates reduced. At the time of the
suit there was great depression in
the iron business and for several
years independent operators of min
ing properties had complained that
they could not operate their prop
critics except at loss. The condi-
tions have changed entirely since
then. There are fewer independent
operators. Those that held on until
the boom in iron two years ago
have either sold out at good price
or are in position to ship their pro-
ducts at profit, owing to the im-
proved prices of ore.

CLOSING SHIPMENTS!

Most of the Lake Superior ore car
rying roads are closing their busi-
ness for the season, but some have
decided to continue shipments until
the latest date possible This is not
ably the case with the Duluth &
Iron Range road, which has now
rea ched about 3,7OOOOO tons, and
will keep its lines and docks open
as long as ore can be shipped. It
has decided that not less than 4OOO,-
900 tons will be its record for the
year. The Duluth, Missabe & North
ern and Eastern Minnesota roads
practically closed season shipments
or, Saturday last, with records of
3,875,0O0 and 100000 tons respective
1y. Ashland docks are practically
through. Those at Marquette are
still shipping and will for a brief
time, and at Escanaba they are yet
taking vessels with the probabi
of late shipments. There is no talk
of next years freight with anything
more than basis of gossip, but no
one expects to see the rate reach to
exceed 70 cents, and some much less
for the season rate in 1901. A year
ago the rate had been fixed and all
the tonnage on the market had been
taken under the Rockefeller ar
rangement. It is not reasonable to
expect any repetition of the arrange
rnent.
The shipments, in round figures,
of Minnesota mines that are closed
or closing, are as follows: Carnegie
mines on the Mesaba range, 100000
tons; same ON Vermilion range.
