Which commands respect that one
of three things may happen. COne
is that the ore may be exported for
the use of the European iron,nas-
ters. Another is that the United
States Steel Co. may see it's way to
make use of the ore, and the other
is that the ore may be manufacture

one which commands the most at
tention at present, and Of course
that might also include the BIG.

who made a trip of inspection OF
the iron ranges and adjacent Jcoun:,

press: S@-' S4.'4s1 = j.
From Virginia I went north six
teen miles through hilly forest on
the new Duluth, Virginia & Rainy
Lake railroad and. within eight
miles of the Little Fork river whose
valley like those of the Big Fork
and Rat river contains great deal
of public agricultural land that is
being rapidly settled and which
still affords golden opportunities
for actual homestead settlers. Con-
struction trains will be running to
the Little Fork by February. The
new road which is reaching out
about 100 miles to Rainy Lake at
Koochiching and being built by ex-
perienced railroad men will tap $8,
100000 worth of standing <pine,~
good agricultural area beyond will
make a new and important route
for wheat from the Winnipeg region
to Duluth. It will also increase
the value of much land owned by
the state of Minnesota. So s-<~=.@-- @-.-.. =,
During eight years I have annually
or oftener visited some of the. min
ing cities and villages on the iron
ranges, of which there are about
dozen and apparently they never:
were more prosperous than today.I
stopped at four of these on this trip
and=was impressed by the steadi,.
ness of their growth, their clean
streets and the neatness and COM
fort of the workingmen's homes.

with a network of busy railroads in:

GETTING THEIR COAL SUPPLY.

While no definite statement is OBJ
tainable from local sources as to
the intention of the management
of the Commodore relative to the
future of the Commodore, it is evil
dent that arrangements are matur-
ing for an early reopening of the
mine. Among other indications
leading to this conclusion is the
fact that several cars of coal have
been received at the property this
week, and one scarce has to guess
twice to know that mining compan-
les are not purchasing a fuel re-
serve this season.

VALUATION SATISFACTORY.


The State Board of Equalization
made trip of the ranges the latter
part of the week, taking in the
Vermilion camps on Thursday, the
Biwabik and Eveleth properties re-
ceiving an inspection on Friday
and the party coming to Virginia
in the evening.
From here the west end develop
ments were visited and the board
returned to Duluth on Saturday,
where they became the guests of the
Commercial Club for the evening e.
In speaking of the present
assessed valuation of the mines of
St. Louis county, placed by the
county board at S3OOOOOOO, members
of the State Board expressed them
selves as highly gratified with the
existing valuation, and openly
asserted that in com parison with
assessment of realty and personal
goods in the Twin Cities and other
parts of the state they considered
the valuation as abnormally high,
and at the meeting of the Board in
St. Paul on Tuesday the valuation
as made was ratified without op-
position.
Aside from the melnbers of the
Board included in the party upon
their visit to the ranges we're, F. B.

STILL PRcsPECII.G NEAR HIGHLAND.
There is still something doing in
the way of prospective iron ore ex-
ploratory work in the nei gh borhood
OF Highland on the Duluth & Iron
Range road. The persons interest
ed are very reticent, however, NAL
com Mcleod, of Two Harbors, ,owus
l6O acres on the west side of the
railroad at Highland and that
point is attracting the most atten-
tion at present. Parties believed to
have represented the Great North
ern took an option on the property
but did not begin exploring within
the time limit, and now another
party is negotiating for it. Mcleod
this time asks for 5000 bonus for
the privilege of exploring and this
is causing hitch. It is said that
there are indications of good soft
ore formation on the property.
Mcleod took the land as home
stead and long since sold the timber.
The presence of jasper on the east
side of the road at Highland leads
to the belief that large deposit of
ore may be found there. Prospec-
tors, experienced and inexperienced
come and go in the vicinity of
Highland every day, and there is
no doubt but that sufficient explor~
atory work to demonstrate whether
there is any ore there will be made.
The jasper is said to be lean and
some authorities declare that this
is considered good sign of better
deposit of ore underneath than if
the jasper contained considerable
ore. At some OF the big mines at
Ely shafts have been sunk through
several hundred feet of Jasper

FELL BEFORE TEMPTATION.
Minister Openly Refers to Conduct of
 Miss Busch at Funeral.

Omaha, Neb., November 9.-Elbowing each other roughly in an effort to gain admission to the German Baptist church, a big crowd of people gathered in the af- ternoon to attend the funeral of Miss Au- gusta Busch, who. with the Rev. W. c. Rabe, was found dead in the vestibule of the church last Tuesday morning.
 The funeral was under the auspices of the church. The Rev. Thomas Anderson of Calvary Baptist church conduted the services.
 MT. Anderson referred openly to the tragedy in his sermon, saying;
 Many enemies of the christian church will make much of the fall of this man and this woman, but prefer to overloow her faults She is more sinned against than shining, and whatever sin she com mitted. was atoned for by the years of sacrifice that preceded it. All of us are weak and she fell before the tempta- tion.''
 The body was taken in charge by the trustees of the church and was buried at Forest Lawn cemetery.
 John Erion, a brother-in-law of the dead preacher, started. this evening for Buffalo with his remains. The funeral and interrment will occur in that city
