structing the members at large of their
duties as union men-to themselves. their
union. their employers, and the travelling
public. Several old employees made talks
on these subjects.
Mr.. Doherty said: while it Is practi-
cally impossible to please every man or
woman who rides on the cars, yet every
should set an example of what union
man and gentleman Is and ought to be.
This is your duty to yourself, your union,
your employers. and your city. You in
this organization can render great good
to this city, their employers and the trav-
cling public. if they will study this fact.

WORDS OF A VETERAN.
J. L. Tyler, the second oldest street car
man In this city, having been twenty-six
years driver, motorman and conductor.
spoke on the condition of the street rail
way men. He said:
THE men now have more privileges.

cars in Richmond, and they owe 1t all to
their union. l can remember well when
as many as fifteen and twenty men were
discharged every week. and one day four
teen were discharged from the Clay street
lima for the pettiest kind of offence. Now.
there are not that many discharged in a
month. and when a man is discharged
it is for good cause. The men owe it to
their union, in payment for these better
conditions. to give better service to their
employers and the public"
Among the other members who spoke
were: Wilbur ]. Grigss. chairman of the
Grievance Committee; II. H. Cleaton. H.

Senator knute Nelson was anon Q
the speakers at Hibbing Monday
evening, and was billed for stand
at Two Harbors Tuesday night.
While enroute from Hibbing for
Duluth Tuesday morning his train
was stopped about five miles out of
Wolf by a wreck, and it looked ralher
doubtful about making connection.
But Senator Nelson made the loan
of a hand-car and in company with
a member of the section crew
pumped into Wolf.
The exercise was doubtless a little
out of the ordinary for the Senator,
and as he stepped from his special
at Wolf and mopped the beads of
perspiration from his brow he was
informed of another wreck down
the line which threatened to Law
him out, but it was cleared in time
to land him right. The Senator's
hustling qualities. in the hour of
emergency created much favorable
comment among his fellow passen-
engers and among the knot of by
ISLANDERS as he pulled into Wolf.

The indications of ore in this large

north of Georgian bay, that promises
to be important. They have shown
several million tons more. The ore
lies not far from deep water naviga-
ton, but in a region that has never
been explored or surveyed until the
past summer, when a party of ex-
plorers passing through found the
indicat tons OF ore now the property
of Gates and Sellwood. There are
yet no government surveys within

Has FOUND ORE.

Mr.: James Jopling, mining en-

pany, returned Tuesday from an
extended visit on the Mesaba iron
range, says the Iron Ore. His CON-
pany is doing considerab bic work in
the way of exploring in that district
and Mr. ~Jopling has been fortunate
in locating deposit of ore The
size and value of this is not vet
known, but it is hoped 1t will turn
out we'll. The Cleveland Cliffs has
thirty forties under option in one
locality and has other tracts we'll
located. It is testing these, task
which will take some time to COM
p1ete. Mr.. Jopling is skilled
worker and an energetic one, and
will find ore if it is to be had. He
has been with his company many
years, and is valuable agent in it's
interest. He will return to Mesaba
in few days to resume his labors
in the way of locating ore bodies.
