PORTO RICANS DISSATISFIED.
MERCHANTS DISAPPROVE FINDING OF
SUPREME COURT.

San Juan, Porto Rico May 2S.-The nrsl re-
port of the Supreme Courts decision in the De
Lima case received here last night which was
interpreted declaring the taxation OF Imports
from Porto Rico to the United States ID per
cent of the Dingley duties to be unconsrtu-
tional. was received with great satisfaction. To-
day. when the full report of the De Lima case
published. there was shown general reel-
ing OF disappointment among Porto Rican mer-
chants, who had hoped that the courts decision
would give them a years free trade. Porto
Ricans are reluctant to believe that to-day's fuli
report is true.
The consensus of opinion on the matter seems
to be that the Porto Rican Legislature should
be convened in extra session to declare PORTO
Rico self-sLpporting without the COLLECTION VI
customs on imports between Porto Rico ana 'he
United States. A general spirit of complaint
that all the Supreme Courts decisions were
against Porto Rico is noticeable.
BY agreement with New-York houses Hl.hs ny
Porto Rican shippers will receive nan Oh '-'o
amounts refunded under the new decision.
The people generally are as much dlsappolIiilOUu "a
at not receiving American citizenship as thty
are with the courts decision in regard TO tiie
tariff. The members of the Cabinet seem - ~
favor free trade. 1t Is understood that HpN -
ernOr Allen is giving his earnest considers 5
a plan to secure at an early date free traue
relations between Porto Rico and GerhldHS'
By the provisions of Section III of the FORAKER

evidence adduced was the same as

GOES TO VIKGINId.

1t is our loss and Virginia's gain
when on the 1st of February DR..
Chas. B. Lenont leaves here to per-
manently reside in Virginia. This
conclusion was forced upon DR.. Le-
mont within the past few months
when certain mining companies
around Virginia offered him very
promising inducements. After due
consideration the doctor decided to
locate at our :neighboring town. Be-
sides his general practice he will be
surgeon in chief for several of the
best mining companies around Vir-
ginia. We have nothing but praises
to offer the Virginia public in be-
half of DR.. Lenont. He is one of the
best up-to-date medical men on the
iron ranges. In the general prac-
tice of medicine he is most success
full and has here endeared himself
with many people whose homes he
has been called into to administer
to the sick.
We are indeed sorry to have the
doctor leave Eveleth for he is a
prince among men and in small
communities there cannot be too
many such men. However, DR.. Le-
mont will carry with him from here
to the neighboring city the very
best wishes of all our people.-Eve-

BONUS $65,ooo AND Toe. ROYALTY

BONUS $65yooo AND Toe. ROYALTY.
An important mining deal was
closed on Monday whereby the
American Steel & Wire company ac-
quires the lease of the Chisholm
Iron company to land in the west
half of the northwest quarter of 28,
$500, one of the largest of the newly
proven deposits On the .Mesab ba. The
deal was made through General
Manager Sellwood, of the Steel &
Wire company, and the gentlemen
through whose efforts and industry
the property has been proven and
developed realize a neat pro rata
reward therefor.
These men are NJ. L. Fay, of this
city, Postmaster Chisho olm, of Hib-
bing, and John G. Mitchell, of Wi
mona. Messrs. Chisholm and Mitch
ell ca CHI owned five-twelfths inter
est in the lease and Mr.. Fay the re-
naming two-tweltths. The terms
of the sale are that the elease-holders
receive cash bonus of $4,000 and
an additional royalty of 10 cents per
ton, the original royalty of Is cents
per ton going to the fee owners,
Messrs. John Robson, of Chicago,
John Larrabee, of Chippewa Falls,
and John Mitchell, of Winona. The
lease is for thirty years and provides
for a minimum annual output OF
100000 tons. Of the cash bonus re.
ceived Mr.. Chisholm will receive
$31 ,25O, Mr.. Mitchell like amount
and Mr.. Fay $12,500.
The lease on the Chisholm prop
erty was obtained by Messrs. Fay
Chisholm and Mitchell some nine
months ago, since which time they
have proven an estimated body o1
100000 tons of high grade ore. The
! acquisition of this property gives
.ltl,s jjrs psolnl their iosldi
mine on the Mesaba, the Sauntr1
and Alpena at this point and thu
Clark and Chisholm on the wes
end. 1t also definitely settles the fac
that the Eastern Minnesota will sc
cure the contract for hauling thu
property's output.

A cablegram has been received

smashing the other fellows who

AN EARLY EASTER.

Easter Sunday will fall upon Ap
ril 9TH in 1901. The earliest and lat
est dates upon which Easter can
fall are March 22nd and April 25th.
In 1886 Easter fell upon it's latest
date, which had not occurred before
in the nineteenth century, and will
not happen again in the next Gen.
tury. In 1894 it fell upon March
25th, in 1902 it will fall on March
3Oth.
On turning back to previous CEN
turies it is found that such a date
as April 25th for Easter Sunday has
occurred once every hundred years,
with one exception; it did not occur
from 1904 until 1415. It fell on the
latest possible date in 1743, 1865,
1915, 145l, 1914, 11O9, 1014 and 9l9.
The earliest day for Easter oc-
CURED in 1861, 1893, 1893, 1873, 1478,
1888, 113G, 1041 and 946. This time
the thirteenth century is passed
over instead of the fourteenth.
For the benefit of those who
would like to know what date Eas-
ter falls for the first decade of the
new century, the following is pro-
duced: 1901, April 7; 1892 March 80;
1903, April IL; 1904, April 3; 1905, Ap-

WILL DO THEIR OWN STRIPPING.

WILL DO THEIR OWN STRIPPING.
The Biwabik Mining company
will, for the coming season at lea st,
do their own stripping, says the
Iron Ore. This has been rumored
ever since the closing down of the
Drake & Stratton company last fall
and was confirmed Wednesday by
Supt: J: d: Shilling when asked as
to the truth of the statement. The
company now has four steam SHOW
els on the ground and more will ar
rive by the time of the opening of
the shipping season, while still an
other will be held in reserve. This
will be two more shovels than work
ed by the company last season, and
it is probable that at least two shov-
els will do stripping work all next
summer. There is one shovel at
work stripping at the present time,
and the scene of the work is in the
extreme eastern part of the mine
near the Cincinnati shaft. There is
also a crew of men at work in the
machine shop, repairing ore cars,
locomotives and other machinery.
The labratory at the mine is being
remodeled, the plaster having been
torn off and the walls being ceiled
up.
