The rifle of excitement over the

another race may shortly be ar.

about the amount of cash they had
to wager on new race between the
two horses. Mr.. Bailey stands
ready to call the bluff, and the gen
tlemen will find $4,000 on deposit

their pleasure. Cover it, boys. :

Review Of Mining Operations
and Developments of Lake
Superior District.
SPRUCE AND CLOQUET SOLD.


A deal whereby the Spruce Min
ing company. owner of the Spruce
mine at Eveleth, passes into the con-
troll of the Lake Superior Consoli-
dated Iron Mines, was perfe cted on
Saturday, and the stock of the COM
pany has since been formally trans
ferred. The consideration is given
as $7O0,O00. In conjunction with the
Spruce the Consolidated has also
acquired the Cloquet, adjoining the
Spruce and Adams properties, at a
consideration of $l5O,OOO.
The directors of the Spruce Min
ing company resident in Minnesota
are John G. Williams, of Duluth,
Capt. c. W. Kimberly and F. A.
Daily, of Eveleth. The deal was
ratified on Monday at meeting of
these directors, acting in harmony
with the principal stockholders, P.
L. Kimberly, of Sharon, Pa, and A.
w. Thompson, of Chicago. The
former is president of the Spruce
Mining company, and it's leading
spirit. The Cloquet was also con-
trolled by Kimberly and his asso-
ciates.
The sale of these proper ties is un-
doubtedly the heaviest purchase of
Lake Superior mining property re-
ported for the past year. and the ac-
! quirement of these mines by the
Consolidated at the present time
would seemingly indicate that the
Rockefeller interests have not as yet
been absorbed by the Morgan syn
dicate, but ON the controry are ma
terially Strengthening their posi-
ton as independent operators.
In the sale of these properties Mr.
Kimberly and his associates clean
up round half million dollars. A
year ago Kimberly and associates
refused an offer of $l,OOO,OOO for the
Spruce from the National Steel &
IRON company holding out al that
time for $1,10OOOO. On the other
hand, if the Consolidated had wish
ed it might have obtained the Spruce
some two years ago, at the time OF
its purchase by Kimberly, by bid
ding little more than he did, less
than 100000. The Cloquet was aban-
doned some two years ago by the
Minnesota Iron company, after the
payment of $4,000 for the lease, and
now the Consolidated pays more
than double that amount, it is said,
! to obtain it.
The Spruce deposit is estimated
at 100000 tons, high grade ore, and
in conjunction with the Adams, of
the Consolidated group, will COM
!! pose one of the largest propositions
on the range.

TANK kEE.

Gen. Geo. w. Bailey (Tank Keel
the celebrated Anglo-Chinese lec-
turer, will be in Virginia and will
lecture under the auspices of Mesa
ba Lodge No. 222, 1. O. O. F., in the
Fay Opera House on the evenings
of March II, ~ and %, and on the
afternoon of the second day.
This course of lectures is consid-
cred by press, pulpit and public one
of the best in the country, and the
tact that Tank Kee has appeared on
almost every platform in any city
or town of importance in the U nited
States during the past twenty-three
years bears testimony of the excel
lence and high order of the enter
tainments.
His lectures are on "China and
the Chinese" and they are illustrat-
ed with $4,000 worth of costumes,
scenery and costly museum of
wonderful curiosities. Raw silk
robes 300 years old, silks costing
$125 yard, costumes blazing with
gold embroidery and royal robes
made by the order of the Queens
mother at Nankin taking four years
10 make and costing 5000 to $1,000
each. In one lecture Gen. Bailey
uses six of these magnificent cos
tunes. His collection includes
hundreds of other interesting
curios.
Waterloo Qowa) Courier says:
Tank Kee, the celebrated lecturer,
delivered three lectures in the opera
house last week. Each of these
lectures were illustrated by charts,
pictures and specimens from China
and were very interesting indeed.
Tank Kee is very pleasing speak
er, and possesses the faculty of
making the otherwise dry subject
matter of his lectures very enjoy
able through the happy manner in
which he treated it, his audience be-
ing convulsed with laughter at his
witticisn1s. The lectures gave his
hears rare fund of information,
and threw much light upon the life
and manner of the Celestials. The
address on Sunday evening was de-
voted to the gods aud religions of
China, and the proceeds were de-
voted to nlissionery work. .,.s=
