STRIKE NEW ORE BODY

1t is reported that the Eastern
Minnesota interests which are ex-
ploring on the Robinson lands.
near Oxide lake, in township 1923,
have drills down in seventy-five to
ninety feet of ore. These are state
lands and were formerly leased to
w. Robinson. Afterward leases
were taken by D. T. Adams and
John Flynn, and the Eastern is said
to have obtained options from the
latter two. This location is not far
from the Kinney-Hawkins-Crosb
mine There are rumors of ore finds
also in 1868.
Interest in the ore discoveries and
their probable effect on the future
of the town is still at fever heat at
Grand Rapids. Many of the loca-
tons where explorations are going
on are we'll distant from present
lines of railroad. During the past
winter number of drill outfits

The D. v. & R. L. Railway
Surveys Line to New
Steep Rock District. "
70 MILES FROM Ko0otHcmNG.

New and important plans of the
Duluth, Virginia & Rainy Lake
road are under consideration. The
reports lack official confirmation,
but they come from source OF un-
doubted reliability. -
1t IL learned that the railroad
company has surveyors in the field
on the Canadian side of the Mime
sofa boundary, seeking route into
the Steep Rock lake region, and
that the company will build into
that region if the iron deposits re-
Gently discovered there prove to be
extensive enough to warrant it.
This would call for a railroad bridge
across the Rainy River at Kooch-
lching, and an extension on the
Canadian side of about twenty
miles. 1t is said that the ore finds
on the Canadian side are expected
to prove of much Importance. and
the Duluth, Virginia & Rainy Lake
is going after the ore to haul if pos
sible. There is deal on at present
for hauling $4,000 tons of it to Du-
luth the first year.
This is a new departure for the
road. At no time has it ever been
suggested that it would get into
the ore trade, but when the road
was first projected there was no re-
port OF the ore finds on the Cana
dian side.
The Duluth, Virginia & Rainy
Lake road may now come in COM
petition with the Canadian North
ern for the ore carrying of the re-
gion described. The former would
haul to Duluth and the latter to
Fort William. It is learned that
the Duluth, Virginia & Rainy Lake
officials are already talking of build
ing their own line into Duluth. !. At
present the roads southern termin-
US is Virginia, where it connects
with the Aissabe and the Eastern
l1innesota roads. II me Csnad iat
d6Fes Rnsi,ess 6heFs any considef'
l,able Inducements, the: way Of trafa
! fic, it is said that the company will
surely build it's own line into Du-
luth. The promoters. of the road
are men who can easily secure the
capital to carry out almost any plan
they may undertake.
The road, in addition to the Cana
dian ore business, 10 attracted to
the northern side Of the Rainy
River by the prospective wheat
traffic. It is expected that there
will always, or at certain seasons Of
the year at least, be considerable
wheat from Manitoba that would
come to Duluth that way when the
line is completed. The road was
originally projected on account of
the large amount of timber trib.
utary to it, and the assurance al
ready exists that by the time it is
ready for through traffic it will enter
at once upon a career of diversified
traffic of the greatest importance.
The officials of the company are
very reticent about their plans, but
it is learned that the report pub
lished yesterday in the News Trib-
une that the road may not go to
Ash Lake, where new town was to
be built, contains much truth. Four
or five routes for the upper half of
the road are under consideration.
If the road engages in the ore bust
ness it is said to be very likely that
it will run west of Pelican Lake and
spurs will be built into the timber.

Not only this, but it is the purpose
so stated, of the city officials not to
permit the custom Of young ladies
and gentlemen striking at people
with canes, or any other improper
conduct on the grounds now preVa-
lent at all the fairs.
The regular business was taken
up, beginning with committee re-
ports.
Mr.. Greer presented a statement
of cash balance IN the treasury OF
So, 10000. The regular monthly
finance report was not ready.
Mr.. Caldwell reported improve
ments in different parts of the city.
Mr.. White reported that several
loads of dirt had been hauled to the
cemeteries and they were otherwise
in good condition.
AS special committeeman Mr..
Greer reported upon the cost OF the
new concrete pavement on Mary
street, which was, altogether, $3.50,
of which the city was assessed
S4O4 .25, the balance, one-fourth, as
sumed by the property holders along
the street. The sale of the old
walk amounted to $50, which re-
duced the cost of the new pavement
to the city to about $318.25.
Upon motion of Mr.. Polk the
mayor appointed the finance COM
mittee to take charge of the street
fair privileges, and the street COM
mittee to select location, assisted
by Mayor Walker.
A petition for a walk on the north
side of Palmer street from First to
Second was referred to the street
committee.
The subject of buying a new dy-
namo was discussed. Mr.. Greer
thought the city should be amply
supplied with water before entering
into the expense of dynamo. Mr..
Geo. Hardy was present, and his
views upon the matter were that
water should be provided first OF
all things. Mayor Walker stated
that it was all ''moonshlne" to talk
about digging an artesian we'll, toI
