Assessed Stockpiles.

The board of equalization of st.
Louis county at their meeting last
week raised the assessment on stock
piles to SOC per ton. The commission
ers all seemed to think this rate
would be satisfactory. 1t is estimat-
ed that this raise practically doubles
the stockpile assessment. Some Of
the board wanted to assess the open
pit mines as stockpiles but later
changed their minds.
Wilson G.. Crosby, the boards attor-
ney. presented an opinion to the effect
that stocks in United States Steel
company, which is Il New Jersey cor
polation. are taxable here if their
owner lives here. 1t had been claim
ed by A. zimmerman an extensive
owner Of stock In the steel trust. who
wanted to escape assessment on his
holdings. that the stock was taxed in
New Jersey, and was. therefor, not
taxable here. Mr.. Crosby did not
agree with him, and the board took
no action on his request for a reduc-
tion of his assessment from $50, 1874 to
1894. Instead, it passed a resolution
definitely confirming all assessments
made under the head Of stock and
bonds other than bank stocks.

New Railroad a Sure go.

Patrick Greene, who has charge of
the survey for the new railroad from
Virginia to KoOchiching. was here
Monday after supplies. Mr.. Greene
up to few years ago was employed
by the Howe Lumber company at this
place and this is his first visit here
for some time. He says the survey
for the new road has been completed
from Virginia out to the Tower u
Itasca road and that work is being
pushed as fast as possible. The route
crosses the above road about one mile
this side of Rice river. A contract
has about been let for the c0nstruc-
tion of the first ten miles of the rail
road aad more will be built as soon as
arrangements can be made. Mr..
Greene is very enthusiastic as regards
the new road and says it will tap
some of the finest farming lands as
well as some of the best pine in the
country.-Tower News.

boys defeated the Ely team in this
city last Sunday. The exhibition as
given Sunday clearly proved that life
was not necessary for ball game and

exceptions, Notwithstanding. fair

The Tournament.

A delegation from the Ely. Evelet h,
Virginia. Sparta and Hibbing Fire
Departments met at Virginia last
Friday and made the preliminary ar
rangements for the Third Annual
Tournament to be held at Hibbing
next month.
The dates set were from the goth to
oath inclusive and an elaborate pro-
gram of races of various kinds was
arranged. A feature this year will
be the association trophy for the team
winning the Novelty Hose Race-to
consist of prize valuad at S35, be-
sides the regular race money. The
program is calculated to take three
days of steady hard work besides the
first day of going and holding the an
nual meeting.
Hibbing has made all arrangements
for time never to be forgotten and
we understand have raised nearly
$4,000 with which to jollify. Special
trains will be arranged for and a low
fare on the roads leading to Hibbing
will prevail The program OF sports
has not as yet been made public but

finished Kerr building and it is claim
ed was of incendiary origin. The st.

considering the delay incident to
closing down the mill and the dis

Locator Bound Over.

ID. Z. Lindsay, the locator who was
arrested several weeks ago on the
| charge of defrauding Theo. Hollister
out OF $50 was bound over to the
grand jury Monday and in default OF
500 Was committed to the county
/ jail.
IL appears, according to the COM
plalnant, that about June IA, Mr..
lolllSter met Lindsay, and the latter
with Il yearning to put someone ION
the inside informed him in cent?
dence that he had accidentally
stumbled upon some valuable iron ore
land ia section II, township 81, range
] 4. In the northern part OF ST. Louis
county. He asserted that in COM
pany with Il couple OF other explorers
he had visited the land, dug some
pits and FUND some fine samples of
ore, which lie exhibited to Mr.. Hollis
ter and the others. He advised them
to get hold of the land, which they
did. Then some expense money was
needed, and 1913 was advanced, and
later some additional funds. The
call for expense money. however.
finally made Mr.. HOLSTER suspicious
and he made trip to the supposed
hard Journey through woods and
swamps, he finally found it-a swamp
with about six inches OF water. while
outside the swamp was granite rocks
and nothing that indicated the pres
ence of ore or that Lidsay or any one
else had ever been on il. He return
ed to Duluth, and Lindsay was i'm
mediately afterwards arrested in
Minneapolis and brought here.
While on the stand Mr.. HOLSTER
said that the explorer endeavored to
buy him off while in the Minneapolis
Jail. He pleaded that he had not
visited the land himself. but that he
had taken the word of another man
for the alleged discovery. Lindsay is
said not to be the only one Of the
numerous lOcators who have been
working such games.

Robert B. Whiteside. who owns a
quarter interest i'm the fee of the Zen
it'll mine, says that SO far as he is con-
cerned and so far as he knows, the re-
port about the sale of the fee of the
property to the United States Steel
company is not correct.
II have had no chance to sell my in
tereSt," he said, land do not know
what the other owners have done. If
there has been any deal it is probably
on the interest OF the Harry Iron
company, which has owned an inter
est amounting to IS per cent"
S. S, Curry. of Ishpeming. Mich. is
the principal figure in the Harvey
Iron company, and the fact that the
report comes from that city would in
dictate probability that deal has
been made for the cOmpany's interest
in the fee.

Gibson is probably as we'll known as
that of any modern illustrator, the
