The Superior Boys Prove No
Match for Our High
School Athletes.
SCORE s TO 0.

On Saturday last, shortly after
the arrival of the D. NJ. & N. passen-
ger, the backwood denizens of Vir-
glnia were startled by series of
1usty yells we'll calculated to make
ones blood curdle and the marrow
quiver in their bones, but the
cause thereof was found more
harmless than might at first be
supposed-it being naught but the
Superior High School eleven who
had come up to take Virginians in
to camp; and had lungs counted
against science, strength and abil-
ity they might have done so. But
their actual capacity was later
measured and found to be very
short, the memory of a score of 6 to
0 following them upon their home
ward journey.
The day kept many from Witness
ing the game, the boys lining up
at LAO, Superior kicking off. Vir-
ginia sent her full back through
for II yards, but was called back
and the ball given to Superior for
the unlawful use of hands. Play
was again commenced and Donnel-
ly fell on the ball after tumble by
! SuperiOrs quarter, and a quick
succession of plays and series of
line bucking brought the boys to
within two yards of Superior's goal
when Johnson was showed through
right tackle for touchdown
Donnelly kicked goal. Time, 16
minutes, no more score being made
by either side during this half
/ In the second half Peterion kick
ed off for Virginia and Abraham, of
Superior, was downed in his tracks
During this entire half the ball
was pushed back and forth within
70 yards of Superior's goal, the
Virginia boys showing some good
work but neither team being able
to score.
The game was Virginia's from
start, her goal at no time being ir
danger, and the boys repeatedly
bucked the Superior line for two
to five yard gains, the boys from
Badgerdo1n being unable to hole
them,
During the past fortnight Coacl
Deering has given the boys some
hard lessons, and they show the re
suit in improved playing. Thi:
last victory proclaims their ability
bette than anv previous game, anc
each and every one of the bows ar,
entitled to share in the glory, as all
showed tact and ability through
out the play.
Prof, Com stock, of Superior, ac
companied the boys and acted a.
umpire, J. Deering as referee an<
Prof. Park as time ekeeper.
| The boys play another game to
morrow with the Superior Norma
team.

Review of Mining Operations
and Developments of Lake
Superior District.
LEASE MESABA MINE.

The biggest deal in iron property
for several months past was consul
mated on Saturday, Corrigan, Nc
Kinney & CO. buying the new big
mine near Mesaba developed early
in the year by G. w. Wallace, D. H.
Moon, Senator Hawkins and Jas. c..
Vivian. The deal was known to be
under consideration for several
days, but the purchase price which
must aggregate several hundred
thousand dollars, is not made pub
lie as yet.
The property is known as one of
the most extensive deposits of the
Mesaba, the character of the ore re-
sembling the Vermilion deposits.
It will be recalled that the Minne-
sofa Iron Co. has had two options
on the property in question. The
first was taken early last spring a.
bout the time the discovery of ore
upon the land was announced. The
consideration mentioned in the op-
ton at that time was $500,O00. The
company allowed this option to
lapse, and subsequently took an
other on a basis of $4SO,00O. This,
too, was allowed to expire. The
last option ran out about five
weeks ago. 1t is understood that
the firm of Corrigan, Mckinney &
Co. has obtained the property on a
basis somewhat less than the con
stderatiOn named in the second op-
ton to the Minnesota Iron com
pany. The land embraced in the
Corrigan, Mckinney & Co. property
at Mesaba station is owned in part
by the Northern Pacific road
which succeeded to it by the pur-
chase of the St. Paul & Duluth, and
the state. There are about 1,20(
acres in the property.
The acquisition of this property
practically means the opening of q
new iron field, it being the intention
of Corrigan, Mckinney & Co., who
are now the largest Independent
operators on the Mesa ba, to at once
open and develop the property
placing it in the list Of shippers the
coming season.
| The ore from the new mine will
be shipped over the Duluth & Iron
Range to Two Harbors.

BaGGED HIS CAME

Among the recent addition to
Mesaba huntsmen is found the
name of Richard Wesley, who came
here from Rhinelander few weeks
ago. Dick brought with him a
genial disposition, a pair of Ger
man socks, fund of interesting re-
collections and an insatiate desire
to meet and slay one of the mon
archs of the Minnesota forest. And
this latter desire was satisfied on
Saturday last, while up on the Stur-
geon. one of the largest moose ever
killed in Minnesota falling prey to
his unerring aim. The party re-
turned to the city Monday, we'll lad
en- with spoils, three deer also being
added to the larder.

When the American Steel & Wire
Co., was organized a few months
ago, it's control of the field was
well-nigh complete, and no one
supposed that it would experience
serious competition for good
while to come;but the steel trade
is already looking forward to
fierce conflict of producers in the
near future. The yearly capacity
of the "combine" is about 100000
tons, or more than sufficient for
the normal requirements of the
country. The independent rod
mills already completed or actively
under construction will have an
aggregate capacity exceeding that
of the American Steel & Wire Co.
The Union Steel company is erect
ing plant at Donora, Pa, on the
Ohio river, with daily capacity of
600 tons; Jones & Laughlin, the big
Plttsburg concern, have recently
made contracts for the construct
ion OF one the largest and best
equipped rod mill plants in the
country. with daily capacity of
800 tons; and at least eleven other
amply capitalized and modernlv
equipped concerns are preparing
to give battle to the Steel & Wire
company. 1t is thought by many
we'll informed people in the trade
that within eighteen months wire
will be sold at the lowest prices re-
corded in years.

Such is the name of the new mine
on the first addition, it being christ
eded in honor of Supt. White of the

NES0TA, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER
{ ----------
4 The Fayal mine has pulled the
extra pumps it has had in the pit
ana No. 3 is safe from the water
Chat has bothered it for the past
two months. The cost to the com
pany in this flood is put at $2M,0O
aside from loss of traffic to the
affiliated railway. The pit is still
very muddy. Shipments are goin g
Forward very rapidly, there being
two shovels in ore and two in strip
Ping day and night. All stocked
gre has been shipped except little
at No. 3. The mine will end the
season with the greatest record of
any iron mine in the world in any
year, probably about 100000 tons,
all of which except about 35OOOO
tons has been mined since May l.
This mine is prepared to exceed
the record materially if need be an
other year.
There are vast accumulatiOns of
idle money which are yielding the
lowest returns ever known. Once
let the holders realize that the busi-
ness has fair chance for a few
years, and the promoter, the seller
of lands, or of merchandise, will no
longer have to seek the investor or
buyer. The dark days of '93 and 80
are tar enough away now, so we
easily forget their lessons. The
"boom" of 1899 was safe and war
ranted by conditions. The "boom'
OF 1902 will be induced by dis
counting conditions yet to follow
and the growth we fear, while great
will not be as substantial or safe.
Progress, however, is not gained by
conservatism; it is seldom outside
the fable that the tortoise wins the
raCc.-Boiier Maker.
The Union Ore company is devel-
oping it's new Union mine, adjoin-
ing the Franklin, and will have a
good stockpile by the opening of
the season of 1901. The ore from
this mine will be shipped over the
Duluth & Iron Range, title to the
property, comprising 40 acres, be-
ing owned by the Minnesota Iron
company. There is 25-cent lease
with an added royalty, running to
p. l.. Kimberly, amounting to $780,
600. Upon the payment of the
$6OO00 in royalties to Mr.. Kimberly
his interest in the property ceases
anu the 25 cents ton to the Mime
sofa Iron company will he the only
royalty.
The American Steel & Wire com
pany has just bought the fleet OF
the American Steamship company
of Duluth, paying therefor S. ,250O0C
There are twelve ships, including 2
the four largest vessels on the
lakes, six others of from 5000 te
1900 tons capacity, and two St. Law
renee canal ships of 5000 tons each
The entire capacity of the fleet is
1000 great tons per trip and they
cost, two years ago, about $3,35O,OO(
The American Steamship company
is largely made mp of the directors
etc., of the American Steel & Wire
company headed by John W.
Gates.
The Genoa Iron company has
cleaned up it's stockpiles and ship
ping the daily hoist from it's two
shafts. 1t will make shipment O.
nearly 100000 tons for the year, and
will mine steadily through the win
ter it is expected.
The Clark Iron company viii
ship this year about $4,000 tons. 1
did it's first mining in June and
shipped the first ore in July. It i;
being developed rapidly and will
mine largely another year.
