Make ANOTHER STRIKE

Supt. Parmelee, of the Republic
Iron & Steel company, has this week
received fresh cause for jubilation.
new find being made on a state
lease held by Senator Maitland and
himself on lands in section 81, 58-19,
just east of Buhl.
Drill work was commenced on the
property about two weeks ago, ore
being encountered in the first hole.
At last accounts 60 fete had been
proven, the drill being bottomed in
the ore body. The ore is said to be
OF good grade, and of excellent
structural quality.
This makes the third state lease
held by these gentlemen on which
ore bodies have been proven within
the past year, and we hope the lat
est strike may prove the biggest of
them all.

BUY RIBBING SYSTEM.

The Mesaba Telephone company,
through the agency of General
Manager Mauseau. has concluded
a deal for the purchase of the Hib-
bing exchange of the Iron Range
Telephone company, the transfer to
be completed by April 1st.
This deal will give. the Mesaba
Telephone company full charge of
all range business, together with
long distance connections, and we
believe is entitled to be recognized
as lever toward a reduction in ex
listing toll charges between range
points, at least to regular subscrib-
ers.

new Style Shaft.
United States Steel Corporation
to Build Them Of Wood
and Steel.
ARE ECONOMICAL AND SAFE.

The United States Steel company
proposes to introduce a combina-
ton steel and wood shaft in its
mines, and it is probable that the
first experiments will be made in
some of the mines at Ely. Two
years ago the Oliver Iron Mining
company introduced steel shaft
system which has been quite sue
cessful. but it is believed the COM
bination of wood and steel will be
more successful, all things consid-
cred.
The present steel shaft in vogue
in Minnesota, and there are very
few of them in the Lake Superior
region, consists of wire ropes sus
pended on the sides of the shaft and
held firmly against the walls by
cross sections of railroad iron. The
only objection that has been found
to this system is that in parts of the
shaft where the material is likely to
crumble, small pieces of earth and
rock jar loose and fall to the bot.
tom. Otherwise the system is a
success, and the cost is nominal
The great advantage of the steel
shaft in mine is it's immunity
from fire. Shafts lined with wood
are in danger of burning out at any
time.
The proposed new system of steel
and wood shaft has the advantage
of reducing danger from fire to a
minimum and is otherwise just as
desirable. In the new combination
shafts the metal will be boiler plate
The plate will completely cover the
surface of the walls of the shaft and
overcome the objection referred tc
in the case of the wire rope shaft
The idea is to build alternate sec
tions of wood and steel covering in
side the shaft. In this manner the
danger from fire is :minimized and
lthe great cost Of lining the 4entire
shaft with plate is avoided. It is
figured that if fire should get into
one of the wooden sections it would
be confined to that part of the shaft
and not be communicated to othe,
wooden sections, because of the
steel plate sections intervening.-

PUSHING THE Work.

Work on the 400 foot extension of

is plentiful, five applicants appear

When this addition is completed
the Eastern Minnesota will have
the largest ore dock in the world,
with shipping capacity of 100000
tons each season, and it is expected
to forward that amount from the
dock the coming season.

THOSE eNAWlNe RATS.
A Common and Curious Illusion.

|" I felt as though rats were gnawing at the coats of my stomach" Three famous men have all left this expression on record in their writings. They were all sufferers from chronic indigestion or dyspepsia, of which the horrible sensation they thus de- scribe is symptom. Other signs are heaviness and distress after eating, bad taste in the mouth, dryness of skin, variable appetite, fatulency, broken sleep, bad dreams and nightmares, billiousness, fatigue and weariness without labor, etc., etc.
 We work with our head and nerves and this makes the dyspepsia of the student, the business and professional man, the worried man and the majority of women. We throw food, often unassorted and in ex- cess, into this weak and unwarmed stom- ach, and bring on acute infammatory dys- pepsia or gastric catarrh, with symptoms and results which make life terror. Ask anybody who has it.
 The best of medicines is the new medi- cine, Calcura Solvent, discovered by Dr. David Kennedy, of Kennedy Row, Kings ton, N. Y. It has proved brilliantly suc- cessful in maladies of the digestive and nervous systems and in disorders of the liver, bladder and kidneys. All druggists $1.OO bottle.

 The Union Business College, of Bridgeport, had very successful year. last year, and we show a photograph of the main school in another column. It is the oldest, largest and strongest institution in Bridgeport for preparing men and women for business vacations It is now beginning it's twelfth year. The enrolment register of the college contains the names of 4,6OO students Several hundred of these students are now employed in offices in this and ad- jacent cities, and many have attained to higher stations in life and become prOprietOrS of business enterprises. Union Business College has never had a graduate or competent student for whom it has not been able to secure a profitable situation. The success of its students can be traced to the ex- cellent discipline of the school, and to the thorough and complete methods of instruction. The systems of short hand and bookkeeping adopted by the college are the recognized standards: but that which contributes most tO the capabilities of it's graduates is it's special plan of adapting the work to students individually.
