Some of our Democratic contempor-
aries are wasting lots of good space
to prove that the increase of wages for
the past few years have not kept pace
with the increase in the cost of living.
They determine their conclusion by
statistical research, and undoubtedly
believe that political sentiment will be
influenced thereby. But statistics al
SO show that the amount of wealth per
capita is at present the greatest in the
history of the country, and if they will
make a canvass of the homes of the
common laborers they will find that
they now live better than ever before.
1t was only few days ago that la
Dor was walking from lumber camp
to lumber camp in this section offering
to work for board, and now the same
men are receiving from $25 to $50 per
month and board for their labor. The
necessaries of life at low figure cut
no ice if there is no market for labor.
1t simply indicates that they do not
find read sale. But there is an active
market for all kinds of labor now. a

To Explore Section 80.

Wednesdays News Tribune brought
the news of the formation of a company
to explore the section 80 property east
of this city. The News Tribune says
Articles of incorporation of the Sec
ton 80 Company will be filed today
with the register of deeds for st. Louis
county. 1t is composed of Duluth men
and was organized to take an option
for a lease of the celebrated iron min
ing prospect on the Vermilion range
which its name suggests. The name of
j. l.. Washburn will appear in the in
strument to be filed today but it could
not be learned who the other men are.
In fact the names, outside of that of
Mr. Washburn may convey little sig
nificance as to the real personnel 1t
is surmised, however, that M. H AL
worth of this city is prominent factor
in the new company
Mr.. Washburn was VERY reticent
when called upon for news concerning
the new exploration company. He ad-
mitted that there was such a company
and that he was in it, but further than
that he declined to talk. The terms of
the option therefore cannot be def
nitely given, for the fee owners are 81
lent. 1t is understood that drills will
be put on the property in short time
and the work of exploration conducted
as rapidly as the conditions will per-
NIT
AS for the terms of the option it is
reliably stated that they are not as
favorable as the fee owners demanded
at the outset. They have asked a bo-
nus Of 100000 and a royalty Of so
cents a ton. 1t is believed that the
terms Of the present option call for a
bonus of about $2,500,000 or $4,000, 900
and a royalty of so cents a ton. If
there Is a large deposit of iron ore in
the property the company, it is held,
could well afford to pay the bonus.
The character of the ore Is high, and
the product much in demand and worth
IS ton at Lake Erie. IT is presumed
that the terms of the contract provide
for the fee owners sharing to larger
extent in the event that the ore above a
specified amount is discovered
Tt was reported in iron circles yester-
day that the Clergue syndicate Of Sault
Ste. Marie had secured an option for
lease Of section 80 but it was denied in
various sources. IT is known that the
neeota for some time and the report
that they had taken an option was
readily accepted. It is claimed, how
ever, that no iron consuming interest
has any hand in the exploration COM
panv. It is declared that the property
will be handled the same as any other
less famous tract. and II a mine Is
found, will be sold to the concern of
fering the largest price.
The report concerning the Clergues
was interesting, at least 1t was to the
effect that if five million tons were dis
covered a bonus of one million dollars
was to be paid and a royalty of so
cents ton. If ten million tons were
shown IN the bonus should be 50 600 :
000 and the royalty 50 cents. If fifteen
million tons were found then the bonus
was to be s3.00O.o 900 and the royalty 10
cents.

To Help the Taxpayer.

After Jan. 1, 1903, the county tax
payer, when he visits the treasurer's Of
flee to settle up, will not be forced to
wait until his tatement is copied off, a
matter of, sometimes, ten or fifteen
minutes, but will merely hand over the
money, get his statement stamped paid
and leave. A new method of making
out tax receipts will be started.
County Treasurer L. H. Whipple has
been working for over a year getting
the new system in shape and Deputy
Treasurer S. S. Williamson has made
several trips throughout the state, Wis
ting other offices. but as the new sys-
tenn has never been in use before, con-
siderable difficulty was experienced in
arranging all details.
The present system of making out
and receipting tax statements, has been
in vogue ever since the organization of
the county and is cumbersome and
tedious. The new one is expeditions
and will eliminate all of the tiresome
waits to the taxpayer, besides reducing
the amount of office work in an amaz-
ing degree
Heretofore the taxpayer has sent in
request for his taxes and a statement
has been mailed him. When he comes
to pay the money, he planks down the
requisite amount and waits. The state.
ment is copied and the copy checked
up with the original, the copy being
given to the taxpayer and the original
being filed away
The new system will do away with
the waiting, and the copying. Two cop
les are made of the statement, one be-
ing sent to the taxpayer, who brings Oh
mails it to the office with the requisite
amount. The statement is marked paid
and returned to the taxpayer, while the
filed copy is also marked paid. A mo-
ment suffices to do the work-no check
ing up is necessary after the statement
Is sent out
A change will also be made in the
personal property statements. Hereto.
fore they have been sent out on postal
cards. Now they will be made out in
the form of statement and can be
receipted Immediately, when the money
is paid
