SLUG 80.

The United States supreme court
has issued its mandate in the Sec
ton 80 case. The order simply no.
titles the supreme court of Mime
sofa that it's decision is affirmed
and to proceed to carry out It's pro-
visions according to law. The judg-
1uent of the court DEGREES that the

The tee owners are at last in a
position to claim clear title to the
800 acres of section 30 involved in
the case. They may now sell or
lease it, as they may choose. They
have received several offers from
mining men anxious to handle the
property. Among these was one
for royalty of 30 cents a ton. 1t
could not be learned whether the
offer carried with it bonus. There

iron mining. One is based on a
sliding scale regulated by the out
put; another is flat royalty for
every ton mined, with a minimum
for each year, and another is where
a cash bonus is paid at the time of
making the lease, with a royalty.
When no bonus is paid the ROYALTY
is usually bigger than under other
circumstances. It is claimed that
some Vermilion ore properties
under present mining conditions
are paying as high as 60 cents ton
royalty, and it is claimed that as
high as 65 cents is being paid for
some of the ore produced on the
old ranges.
The ore outcrop on section 30 is
said to indicate a very desirable
quality of the mineral. It is ex-
pected that one of the important
mines of the Vermilion range will
be opened there within the next
year or two.

volved comprises the northwest
quarter of the northwest quarter, in

in which Mr.. Hill is part traffic
agreement giving the Eastern Mimi
esota the work of hauling the ore
is included in the instrument. The
agreement states that should the
rate 90 lower than 80 cents a ton
and the Eastern Minnesota did not
charge as low rate as any OF the
other ore carrying roads the min
ing company has the option of hav
ing its hauling done by another
company. Ali things being equal
however, the Eastern shall get the
business, the lease stating express
ly that the provisions referring t<
traffic were made for the benefit O.
the Eastern Minnesota, of which
Mr.. Hill is the president.
The property acquired by the Re
public Iron & Steel company is sai<

leased shall have a minimum out
put OF 5000 tons a year. The roy
atty is l8 cents and the lease run

Hitter cotaI Roads
Gov. Van SAINT Instructs At
torf1ey General Douglas to
Institute Proceedings
AGAINST ALLEGED MERGER.

<AJk1uNO4 k4AAEA5EO AEk(JENs
Governor Van SAINT has instructed
Attorney General Douglas to begin
proceedings in the state courts
agaigst the alleged merger of the
Iron Range railroads. The bill will
be filed very soon, and the United
Steel corporation, which is reputed
to own the stock of the Duluth, Mis-
sabe & Northern and Duluth & Iron
Range roads, Will be made a party
defendant. The steel corporation
maintains Offices at Duluth, and it
is thought there will be no difficult
ty in reaching it through the state
courts.
The state senate, before final ad-
journment, adopted resolution
calling for an investigation of the
purchase of the roads, and the gov
ernor's action is in response to this
demand. Y
The railroads have not actually
consolidated and maintain separate
organizations, but are alleged to be
under common control. The same
question in the states complaint
against the Northern Securities
company is at issue in the present
action, namely, "It is a consolida
tion for one person or corporation
to hold controlling interest ir
two parallel and competing roads?'
The governor hopes that it may bt
possible in this case to settle thu
question, which the state has so fa1
been unable to get before conr
in the Northern Securities case.
! It is not stated definitely wher
the suit will be brought, but Att6i'
ney General Douglas is understood
to be at work upon the bill of com
plant, and as soon as it is com
pleted the action will be commenc
ed. "

temporarily restraining the Peo-

This is the second order of that

prevents the company from doing
ANYTHING farther in its construction

A Tribute to Barbour
Mr.. Millce, said that the grand old coun-
ty of Barbour had furnished more great
men than any other county OF the state
From Barbour there came the war Gov
ernor, John Gill Shorter; the lamented
Henry D. Clayton the elder, who barely
escaped filling the great once OF Gov
ernor; the brilliant McKelroy. the popu-
lar Reuben F. kolb and many other lead
ers of state affairs. Barbour County had
a way of honoring her great men and
he would honor any man that Barbour
County honored. That county had sent
William D. Jelks to the State Senate by
an overwhelming majority thus showing
her confidence in his ability and leader
ship The speaker described this favorite
son of Barbour as a man great in heart,
great in thought and great in conception.
This had been the opinion of his fell
low Senators who had elected him Pres-
dent of the SenOte, kHuWLuS mat 10

Governor Sanford who was then fatally

been chosen Governor by the people be-
cause he had been elected by tho agents

titled to the Democratic reward of a sec
ond term
With cool and polished ridicule the
speaker cut to pieces the claims of Gov
ernor Johnstou's business administration.
He showed how the Convict Department.
under Governor Johnston, had allowed
the states cotton mill to go to rack and
ruin in total idleness. while cotton mills
in Alabama under private control had
made money steadily This evil condition
of affairs he said had been quickly rem
edied bv the Convict Board under Cover

that under the Johnston administration
able bodied convicts were hired out for

same convicts are bringing $40 month.
