NEW D1VlS NINE SOLD.

The sale of the New Davis mine,
located Immediately east of the
city, was affected at Milwaukee last
Friday afternoon. The deal was
closed by DR.. J. r. Moore of this
city, acting as trustee for the Iron
wood and Oconomowoc parties,
who have operated the property for
the past two or three years. The
purchasers were represented in the
deal by Henry Herman of Milwau-
kee, and include Friend Bros, J. B.
Doe, NJ. NJ. Riley, Mr.. Herman and
number of other persons in that
city. The consideration has not
been made known, but it is under
stood that the former operators of
the property have royalty inter
est in the mine, and received a cash
payment of considerable proper
tons.
The new owners will vigorously
work the property during the COM
ing season, and as the old company
had prepared for an output of forty
to fifty thousand tons, it is expect
ed that they will carry out that pro-
gram at least

Review Of Mining Operations
and Developments of Lake
Superior District.
GIVE AN OPTION ON ORE LANDS,

A special meeting of the stock
holders of the Pennsylvania Iron &
Steel Company, of which Former
Mayor Truelsen is president, was
held yesterday at the Office of the
secretary, J. E. Davies, 400 Lonsdale
building, at which resolution was
adopted giving six months option
for lease of their mining property,
sometimes known as the Truelsen
forty, on the Mesaba, to Oscar Rohn
of Duluth, who is said to represent
the Union Steel company of Pitts
burg. The terms of the prospec-
tive lease are that the royalty shall
be 25 cents ton and the minimum
output $1,000 tons a year. The pro-
perty consists of forty acres near
the Sharon mine, between Virginia
and Hibbing, on the line of the
Eastern Minnesota road. The own
ers explain that they know nothing g
of the extent of the deposit, but the
terms upon which the lease is
drawn indicate that they have pref
ty fair view of the matter. The pro-
perty is to be thoroughly explored
and undoubtedly will be developed
into shipper by next year. The
description of the forty is as fol
lows: Northeast quarter of the
southwest quarter of 2O-58-19.
At the meeting yesterday $1,000
out of 26,CO0 shares of stock were
represented.
The Union Steel company is out
side the consolidation and but rec
emily has been active in procuring
control of ore properties.
Henry Truelsen, former mayor OF
Duluth, is president of the Pennsyl.
vania Iron & Steel company, con
trolling the mining property which
has been described. Between farm
land and the ore land business
Mr.. Truelsen has found it more pro.
fftabfe than being n1ay of sttf11i.
city, unless he put an exceedingly
high rate of valuation on the honor
thereto attaching. - News Tribune

while an occasional encore may be
