points Of international dispute.
The negotiations in the matter Of the

VIRGINIA. IMPROVlN4.

B.F. Smith, landlord of the Hotel
Fay at Virginia, was at the St. Louis
last evening. Mr.. Smith says that
Virginia has been a little quiet this
summer, but that business is more
brisk now. Last season saw a
building boom, but this season the
work of last year was finished, and
but little new building done. One
large business block was erected.
The Duluth, Virginia K Rainy
River is being prosecuted all along
the first section of ten miles.
About 400 men are employed and
more are being added as. fast as
possible. The outlook is good for
completing from 20 to 80 miles this
fall. 1t is believed that the inter-
ests back of the road will employ
about 800 men getting out logs this
winter.
Mining at Virginia has been rath-
er quiet this summer, but that is
improving and the outlook is bright
for the winter. 1t is reported that
300 additional men will be employ.

will be put on at the Franklin. II

The Minnesota mining companies
appear to be "up ag'in it" on the tax

the mine stockpiles at 30 cents per
ton, but it remained for a higher
tribunal, the state board of equali-

CAPT. HOOPER KILLED.

One OF the most appalling acci:
dents in the history of the range for
the season occurred at the Mountain
Iron mine at 7:3Oo'clock Wednesday
morning, by which Capt. James H.
Hooper, for years past mining cap
tain at that property, was killed.
1t appears that Capt. Hooper was
crossing track near the mouth of
the mine when struck by the engine
of train No. 1, taking empties into
the mine, sliding down grade with
the steam shut off, a high collar
turned up around the ears of the
unfortunate man aiding in shutting
out any possible sound of warming
which might otherwise have been
heard, the engine hitting him head
on and killing him almost instant
ly, the body being terribly multi
ated.
James Henry Hooper was born at
Redruth, Cornwall, England, in 1860,
being4 years of age. When young
man he came to this country, and
for many years has held RESPONSE
bic positions at various Lake Super
ior properties. He is survived by a
wife and five children, Mrs. Hooper
and four children being in England
on a visit, where the husband and
father had expected to. join them
for the winter months.
Funeral services were held yester-
day, many from this city being in
attendance, the remains being ship
ped to a receiving vault at Duluth
awaiting the return of the bereaved
widow for final interment.
