They are No. 81, range "a and No. 10,

northern part Of ItaSca county in
what is known rs the Koochiching

settlement on THURSDAY, April 10.
Township 81 is some distance south

been selected through scrip appica-

the public on Wednesday, April 9.

A RICH FIND.
Daily Papers Bring News of a Cheering
Nature to Tower.

The daily press of the country has
been publishing news of a find of re
by the Minnesota company at Tower
which we hope is true and authentic.
So far we have been unable to asc, T.
tain whether the information was
correct. The dispatches says:
What is believed by many to e
the most valuable find of iron ore on
tie Fermilion range mas been Located
by Tile Minnesota Iron company in
the swamp south of Tower junction..
where diamond drills have been at
work the past four months. If re-
ports are not exaggerated it MAY
prove tue most important find on the
Nefmiiion range TO date. The ore
body lies almost under the main line
OF tile Duluth & Iron Range road anu
near enough TO the Minnesota mines
SO that it may be worked without adj
ditional expense for machinery, etc.
Tie citizens OF Tower. which is the
pioneer mining town of the state, are
elated over the new discovery, for il
means that the life of iron mining in
that locality is to he extended for an
indefinite period.
The diamond drills have penetrated
IL body Of the blue hard ore, such as
is found at the Minnesota mines near
by, and below this 1T some depth WAS
found grade Of ore strikingly like
tllat of the Chandler or Pioneer mines
al Ely. 1t is said that this is tn"
tlrst ore OF that kind that has ever
heet found in the vicinity Of Tower.
1t is hard ore crushed by natural
PROCESSES.
The finding of ii large body OF hard
ore near the Minnesota mines is Of
special interest for several reasons
1t is claimed by one authority that
the Minnesota Iron company has been
seeking for additional deposits in lie
vicinity OF SOudan and Tower Junct-
ion for many years, and always with
outlSuccess uni il now. 1t has often
been reported in recent years that he
lifeof the Minnesota mines would he
short unless new deposits were found.
Ge9S0gical experts and other men
wisp in such matters came from var
ious parts OF the country at the re-
quest of the company. Their sug-
gestions were followed but without
success. Then the Minnesota Iron
company was taken over by the q. S.

FREIGHT TARIFFS.
State Railroad and Warehouse Commits.
sion Taking Measures to Equalize.

Railroad Commissioner j. G. Miller
and Statis,ician Thos. Yapp of the
lrailruad commission were in Duluth
this week considering he matter of
merchandise freights to the Vermil-
ion and Mesaba ranges with the Of
tic.alS of the Duluth s. Iron Range
and Duluth Missabe & Northern
roads.
Ii will be remembered that when
The north coast lines made Il reduc-
{ ion i'm class tariffs to Northwestern
points. or soon thereafter. the Mesaba
range roads announced reductions in
classes and and a 10 certain points
on their lines says lie Duluth Herald.
TWAS underSl God at the time thai
the Eastern Minnesota had taken the
Initiative in the reductions. No
changes were made to Vermilion
range points. which are reached only
10y the Duluth & Iron Range road.
The purpose of Commissioner
Miller's visit is reported to be to Sc.
cure IA unifying0t Mesaba range rates,
and also to bring about Il marked re.
duct ion. as we'll as an equalization OF
rates to points on tile Vermilion
Lange. 1t is understood that the
commission feels that the range roads
reduced rates only TO points touched
10y the Eastern Minnesota; in other
words. that points not common with
The Eastern Minnesota are still pay
ing The same freight rates that they
did before the reduction. This dis.
elimination the commission intends
To remedy.
II is said also that the commission
has prepared tariff for adoption by
the Duluth & Iron Range road to
points on the Vermilion range, which
would effect reductions in present
| freight rates of from IA to SO pei
Ecent. The commission feel that the
Iron Range tariff, and to certain
Iextent the tariffs OF the other rang,
reads, are full Of inequalities. Thil
