Chas. 6. Miller, candidate for sher-
if, is a comparatively young man,
40 years of age. He has been a res
ident of Duluth for thirty years, and
has been prominently identified
with Duluth business enterprises
the greater portion of that time.
For 20 years he has been connected
in business with Mr.. w. S. Wood
bridge, who after fifteen years of
businessin his own name tn" 1855 or:
ganized the Duluth Book & Paper
Co., now known as the Duluth Paper
& Stationery Co. Mr.. Miller has been
treasurer of the company from the
beginning, and is we'll and favor
ably known among business men
from one end of the county to the
other. He is careful, reliable and
Observation-Disclosures most desir-
able in the important position of
county sheriff.
For four years he was a member
of the board of county commission
ers, and was instrumental in OPEN
ing what is known as the "Miller
Trunk Road" a highway from Vir-
ginia to Duluth. That this roadhas
not fulfilled all the expectations of
it's projectors is not the fault of Mr..
Miller and those who worked with
him in this matter; a few years from
now this road will be looked upon
as a valuable.-highway, both as re-
CARDS Duluth and the entire county.
While Mr.. Miller is a Democrat he
is a consistent one-never an often
sive partisan, and will get large
support among Republicans who
desire the best man for sheriff re-
CARELESS of politics.
Citizens of Hibhing, Virginia, Ev-
eleth, Sparta, Biwabik and McKin-
ley wv Mr.. Miller more than any
other one man for their roads, he
being the prime mover in building
the roads between Virginia and Mt.
Iron, Virginia and Eveleth, and Ev-
eleth and Sparta; and we think the.
range people will show their appre-
citation by marking a o opposite
his am on November 4th for sher-
i'll, the office which he now seeks.

opposition, too2"
CLOSED THE DEAL.

The Shenango Furnace Co. on
Monday closed the deal for the pur-
chase of the lease of the Webb mine
in the Hibbing district, the lease
being owned bv Capt. NJ. L. Fay, of
this city, the sale being negotiated
by Charles Purden through w. A.
Barrows, general manager of the
Shenango Furnace Co.
The Webb is in section 6, 57-29,
adjoining the TOWNSHIP of Hibbing.
It.contains a proven ore body of 20,
100000 tons of high grade ore,
averaging 60 per cent iron. The
lease carries a Is cent royalty and
provides for a minimum annual
output. of 10000 tons.
The property covers 100 acres, and
the ore will be carried to dock over
the Eastern Minnesota. Previous
to Capt. Fay obtaining possession
of the option, the property had been
twice explored and CT ndemned,
former explorers quitting after
hitting the taconite. But Capt.
Fay had more faith than. had iho4e
who previously drilled the property
and went through AZ feet 0 ftaconite
before encountering the ore body.
Continued explorations proved the
existence of two separate and dis
tinct ore bodies on the property,
one on the northern and the other
on the southern side.
1t is said the Shenango people
will make preparations to at once
develop the Webb, and that it
will become a shipper of impor-
>tance another year.

In his address at Duluth, Capt. NJ.
L. Fay gave his hearers some food
for reflection in the following:
"Since I received the Democratic
N domination for this office I have
re Affected upon the matter and I have
become convinced that the duties
OF the congressman are serious and
great. lido not believe a man can
go to congress from this district

district by drawing his salary, and
having a jolly good time hobnob-

want the vote of any man to help

duties Of that office the most con con
scientious efprt, and all of my time.

We were pleasantly surprised at
the neat appearance Of the new
union station in Columbia, during a
recent trip. It surpasses anything
that We imagined it would be. The
accommodations for the comfort and

ably demanded or expected by the
public.
Mr.. John F. Sutphen, the gate
keeper who is so we'll and faVorably
known to the travelling public, retains
his position at the new station and
takes pleasure in giving the patrons
of the several roads all the informa-
ton needful. His stock of patience
is never exhausted, no matter how
severe the demand upon it, All the
other officials are as polite and as
accommodating as any set OF officials
as can be found any where.

Congressman Lever is certainly
allowing no grass to grow under his
feet when it comes to work for the
interest of his immediate constitu-
ents.
In all interests he has been extra
ordinarily watchful and active for
his district. No obstacle in his way
has been able to turn him from his
purpose to do his level best in Sc
suring some of the patronage of the
government for his people. We are
glad to notice, toe, that his efforts
ara not confined alone to his own
county. Nearly every pare: il the
district contains something that ne
has done or is doing for them and
are singing his praises as q conse-
ouencS.
