Rocco Output.

Salt Lake Tribune, February IA: A letter
from Bert L. Smith, Treasurer Of the Rocco
Homestake Company at Eureka, Nevada,
whose shares are held by a large army Of Salt
Lake investors, says that during 1901 the CON-
pany's mines at Hamilton, Nevada, were pro-
ductive Of 500 tons Of ore Of the gross value
Of $40, 5.65, while the outlook for the pres.
ent season is equally assuring. The present
price Of lead enables the company to realize a
very handsome margin, while an advance
means a year of unprecedented prosperity.
Since its advent in this locality the company
has come forward with regular dividends, and
has thus far discharged every promise. The
physical condition of the property liz perhaps
better than ever before and the output for
1902 will continue as in the past.

Excerpt from an article in The Enterprise of
OF the Board OF Education:
"Prof. Wheeler was present, but
The Enterprise refrains from pub
fishing an account of the conversa-
ton not because of our kindly re-
gard for Mr.. Wheeler, but because
we do not desire to be accused of
retarding the efficacy of the school
work in the district in any manner;
because we do not desire to place
ourselves in a position where it
might become incun1 bent upon Mr..
Wheeler to offer us an apology, as
he did to Clerk Eaton at the last
meeting; because we consider that
our school children should not he
cognizant of the simple TRUTHS ex-
changed and high compliments ex-
tended Mr.. Wheeler by members of
the board; because we believe that
a verbatim report of these informal
sessions are unnecessary and might
prove-even as some believe Mr..
Wheeler has proven-an eyesore to
the public at large and detriment
to the public schools of the district.
Suffice it to say that Mr.. Wheeler
was granted until January 18th in
which to put in force practical
and successful course of study in
the Virginia building, and to equal
ize the duties of the various teach
ers."

William J. Bates was the last to
enter the race for the Republican
nominati ton for sheriff, but is now
covering ground fast enough to
even up any possible disadvantage
resultant therefrom. He is one of
best known in the bunch of aspir-
ants to range people, and was meet
ing many friends in the city vester-
day. For the past fourteen years
he has been one of the best deputy
sheritfs St. Louis county has ever
known, and his record proves him
trustworthy and deserving of pro-
motion. He is native of Vermont,
moving to Wisconsin at an early
age, growing up under the positive
influence of a rigorous farm life.
He later worked in the woods in
various capacities, subsequently
becoming cruiser for the Cloquet
Lumber company. In 1888 he was
appointed deputy sheriff under
Paul Sharvy, and has been retained
by successive sheriffs because OF
his known worth. Mr.. Bates says
that if nominated and elected he
will devote all his time to the office,
and many friends will assist him
in his struggle for the coveted po-
sitiOn.

At the time of filing his affidavit
he gave it out that he was in the

enjoy an acquaintance knew that
he meant what he said and said

it is prediction of his friends that

Extracts from the Koochchinq
Border Budget Of Aug. II, 1902:

"On Wednesday Of last week Messrs.
lockwood, Backus, Trumer, Cook, McCrca
and Nutter, representing the Koochiching
Townsite Company, arrived at this place
and spent some time looking over their in
terests here
Mr. lockwood and associates have la
bored diligently during the past seven or
eight years to interest people of means in
tho development Of the water power at this
place and have at last succeeded, the only
obstacle in the way now being the consent
of the Ontario government to allow them to
develop the power.
It is estimated that upwards of 81, 100000
will be expended on the water power within
the next two years, in building dam, pulp
and paper mills md saw mills; in fact it is
stated that one of the largest and best equip
ped saw mills in Minnesota will be built at
Koochiching.
Mr.. Backus is a prominent lumberman
of Minneapolis. He stated that between five
and six million dollars would be expended
in building the railroad, developing the wa
ter power and building mills at this place
and Fort Frances
Everything at present goes to show that
something is going to be done at once and
comes as good news to many who have spent
the past seven or eight years here, none of
them, however, wavering the least in their
opinion that Koochiching would one day be,
what has long been prophesied, one Of the
largest manufacturing centers in Minnesota" :"

There were sharp advances in a number

no apparent connection and were not ex-

the United States steel stocks was lacking
and those stocks were heavy throughout.
The grangers seemed somewhat affected
by the frmer tone of the grain markets.
There was no eQuel to the late squirt in
Southern railway and that stock sagged
until the close. The closing generally was
active and easy.
The session of the committee having in
hand the attempted settlement of the an
thracite miners demands was a repressive
influence on speculation, but the tone OF
the market seemed chiefly due to the dis

Speculative and convertible bonds have
