The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1902-11-28
ST. Louis County Ore.

Dwight e. Woodbridge, recognized
as a writer of authority, and for many
years connected with the Duluth pa
pers, but later a WRITER for trade
papers and interested in mines, has the
following to say on the leading industry
of st. Louis county. Among other
things Mr.. Woodbridge says:
When one stops to consider what
the iron ore output of st. Louis county
for the present year will amount to, the
figures make so vast sum that they
are meaningless. 1t is only a few
comparisons that they assume any tam
gible shape. For instance, the ore
mined in the county this year will
amount in round figures to 100000
tons, each ton being of 2,240 pounds.
This is enough to make a train of o.
900 miles in length, or cargoes for g.
500 large freight steamers, or if in steel
to lay about 10000 miles of railway of
average weight of rail. If the consi..
deration of what that ore becomes and
into what forms of industry it enters,
is undertaken, the task is still more
stupendous. It is quickly seen to what
an overwhelming extent it forms the
mainstay of the business life of the
nation, and therefore to what extent
the nation is vitality interested in the
ore deposits of the hills and swamps of
ST. Louis county.
By far the greater share of the ore
mined in this county, as we'll as in
other parts of the noted Lake SUI
perior ore region" is by the two COM
panies known as the Minnesota Iron
company and the Oliver Iron Mining
company. The former operates in
Minnesota only, the latter in all the
lake ore districts south of the Canadian
line, and is reputed to have acquired
interests in Canada, looking forward
to that day, now happily long time
distant, when there shall be need to go
outside of the states. These two com
panies are the largest employers of
labor in mines the world over, their
tonnage is many times greater than
any other, and with the single exception
of coal, their product is the most i'm
Dortant and necessary mineral that
comes up out Of the earth. The posi-
ton of overwhelming Importance in
which these two companies are thus
placed makes them the observed of all
mining corporations; and their methods
with employees, with competitors, with
the public, are always in the
searchlight Of public interest and COM
ment. 1t is not too nue.. - say that
in all their career, both before and
since the organization of the United
States Steel corporation. they have
borne any possible investigation from
whatever side it might have come and
by whatever honest motive prompted,
satisfactorily TO the people.
The Minnesota Iron company is the
Oldest mining corporation in this state.
having commenced the mining of ore
at Soudan in 1884 and continued it, in
an annually increasing ratio, ever
since. In all it's years it has had no
troubles with labor. With, at times,
the hardest class of labor to deal with,
it has never had q strike but once, and
then over no question of pay, or hours,
or recognition, and soon settled. 1t
has never once missed payday, even
though 1t has passed through the se-
Nerest panics, which struck at the iron

Queer proceetiingM

A rather deplorable state OF affairs
vas brought to light before a0dge Van
Riarcom in municipal 'coSrt Monday
when John Sijatovich was brought into
court on a warrant sworn to by par
ent charging Sijatevich with SELLING
beer to a minor.
Six boys, ranging in ages from IA tC
II years were brought in as witnesses
and each testified that they had Sc
cured drinks in the saloon conducte
boy the defendant, also that they had
played pool and dice in the place
Further testimony was adduced show
ing that Sijatovich had his daughter.
aged IA years, tending bar and selling
anything called for.
Out of respect to the parents of the
youngsters who were brought in as
witnesses, we wiz refrain from giving
the names or their individual testimo-
ny. but will say that it will do some O.
them considerable good to go to the
court room and read over the evidence
rs given by their boys. 1t was shown
that not only recently had the Kids
established headquarters at the place
mentioned, but for year had this
been a rendezvous for the future mer
Of Ely.
The specific charge was that OF
Nov. 8, Sliatovich did sell to one ---
---, a minor a glass of bee
and had taken in payment therefor the
sum of five cents" Nov. 9, by the
way, is also Sunday, and before thu
court it was proven that at least foul

bar on that day. Judge Van Blarcom
after hearing the evidence, fined Sija
tovich 800 and costs, amounting in al
to over 500.
The defendant was not very wei
pleased with this proceeding an;
feigned ignorance as his excuse. How
ever, he secured the necessary coil
and paid the fine and costs.
If the charges were pushed, thi
saloonkeeper would certainly land il
the penitentiary for the balance of hi
natural life. He could again be brough
before the court on the charge of sci
ling liquor to each individual boy il
the party and several others who wer
not called and fined in each case. Thel
ne could be brought up on the charg
of allowing gambling for drinks; TO
allowing the boys to play pool; TO
keeping his saloon open on Sunday
for keeping a minor employed in hi
bar-room and several other charges.
The witnesses also testified as t
having played pool in one other plac
and if we are not badly mistakel
something more will drop in the nea
future. The men who run the saloon
plead ignorance of the law and sa
that in the old country boys as wei
as girls can buy drinks whenever the
desire.

BIRDS THAT CAN TALK.
Rose-Breasted Gros ID eaIx That Ma ds Complimentary Remark
 to His Mate.

Y Prof. Scott, of Princeton, says that wild birds sometimes introduce varia- tions into their songs, and again, more rarely, initiate not only the songs of other birds, but the barking of dogs, mechanical sounds, like the creaking of wheels, the filing of saw, and even human speech. A writer in Bird-Lore gives this well-authenticated incident:
 "One morning while 1 was standing on my back steps 1 heard cheerful voice say: You are pretty bird. Where are you?'
 ''I wondered how any parrot could talk loudly enough to be heard at that distance, for the houses on the street behind us are not near. Presently the voice came again, clear, musical and strong: You are pretty bird Where are you?'
 For several days endured the sus- pense of waiting for time to investi- gate. Then l chased him up. There he was in the top of walnut tree, and his gorgeous attire told me immediate ly that he was a rose-breasted gros- beak.
 At the end of a week he was saying "Pretty, pretty bird, where are you?' He and his mate stayed near us al last summer, and this spring they came again. He is making the same remark as plainly as ever bird can speak"

all the way squirting furiously until in the last few hundred yards Yale got a lead which it seemed hopeless for the Cambridge freshman to overtake; but the scond crew had one more spurt in it's catalogue of enthusiastic despera- tion and while the judges at the finish thought the race was over, demon strated that the shouting had begun too soon.
 Tn whirlwind finish the two fresh men crews crossed the line stroke by stroke as if pulled by the same strength and the judges called 1t a dead heat It was question of meas uring by inches rather than feet, and the safest way out of the spectacular problem was to give these unbridled oarsmen a chance for a more definite decision.
 The days racing, therefore ended with a four pared victory for Harvard, dead heat among the freshmen, and notable triumph for the University crew of the New Haven school of the theory and practice of rowing. President Roosevelt saw the races from the Dolphin, and became more en- thusiastic over the freshmen finish than over the star feature of the day. No government powder was burned for the University giants, but the Dolphin joined in the general fusilade that rat tied along half mile of yachts when the freshmen locked horns in the tWl- light.

 It was a miserable exhibition, but 1t had its funny side as well.
 Jack Lawlor has jumped the Cali fornia league and gone to the Colorado Springs team. The jumpers are grad ually jumping this way.
 Meriden comes here tomorrow for a double header and if we play at all we should take both of those games. The first one will start at 2 o'clock. Kiernan made funny throw down to second yesterday. but he forgot to take off the curve and the ball dropped nicely and touched the umpire in a tender spot.
 Robinson will probably be short when salary day comes around. He was given money in New Haven the day before and promised to be back yesterday morning. He had with him the catcher's glove, mask and protec- tor, and neither he nor the parapher- nalia showed up. He was badly need ed when Luskey was hurt.
