the Barnes county candidate for the Office
of speaker, has fifteen more votes pledged
than will be necessary to elect, his friends
say. There seems to be a disposition on
the. part OF representatives generally to
get on the band wagon. The action of
the Cass county delegation in refusing to

put a dampener on his chances and Cas-

WHEN. THE ORE GIVES OUT
Lake Superior Mining Men Are Alread,

Lake Superior Mining Men Are Already
Figuring on 1t.
IRON. MOUNTAIN, MICH-The esti-

Lake Superior district next year. ranging
from $4,000 900 to $4,000, 900 TONS COM
pared with an output of about 26.000,000
tons in 1902 are causing much specula-
ton in mining circles as to how long the
upper lake region will continue to be tho
chief source Of supply for the blast fur

GRAFTON will see it on a rapid decline as
an ore producer. The mining of an ex-
cess of %, O0O, 600 tons makes big hole
in the ground. It keeps nearly all the
producing ranges busy to provide this
enormous tonnage, and it seems likely that
the rate of increase will keep on at its
present ratio for many years to come.
Should this be the case it will not be
easy to- supply the needs of users of ore,
although In the past few years the add
lions to former known deposits have been
wonderfully large.
At present the mining in the entire dis
trict is at the: rate Of 300,000,000 cubic
feet of ore annually The immensely OF
these figures is hard to realize. perhaps,
but it is plain it would quickly become
serious matter were not new deposits
added to those wrought at present. Should
the demands upon the mines reach 10000
900 tons in fifteen years hence, as the
present ratio of increase indicates, the
output. it seems now, could not be fur
nished.
In computing the tonnage of Mesaba
ores from II to is cubic feet must be
allowed to the ton, compared with and

union men that it is the only solution of
the vexed question
Recently Superintendent Barrett re-
cetved a letter from young woman teach

teachers are suffering. This letter, which
Mr.. Barrett pronounces the best sum
mary Of the case he has yet seen, showed
that in Dubuque county the best and most
efficient teachers were receiving but $25
to $50 a month. and that, with this pay,
it was impossible for them to attend in
of the times in an educational way, and,
in short, maintain themselves at the high
standard expected Of them.
A striking feature of the school census
Is the decline in the number of children
Of school age. In 1901 there were 735, 159
children of school age, and in 1902 but
