n NEW TERMILlOE LEASE.

Alfred Merritt on Friday last clos
ed deal for the lease of tract or
Pine Island, four hundred acres in
extent, situated in Vermilion lake
owned by A. Kitto, the Tower mer-
chant.
Pine Island is situated about four
miles north of Tower, out of the ore
belt as heretofore proven. It con.
tains about 5000 acres. On the tract
owned by Mr.. Kitto he has expend.
ed $11 900 in proving the ore body
and under the lease with Mr.. Mer.
ritt he receives bonus of 5000 and
12112 cents per ton royalty. On the
lands included in the lease is an
outcropping 800 feet in length by
200 feet in width, samples from
which are said to be almost identi-
cal with the ores of the Champion
mine, on the Marquette range.
Mr.. kitto's good fortune places
him in comfortable position for
the remainder of a busy life, and
the deal as made is considered by
iron men as one sure to bring big
reward to the lessee, as we'll.

Child Drowned.
Son Of Mr.. and Mrs. Marietta
Of Mountain Iron browns
In a Cellar.
THEIR ONLY CHILD.

The three year old son of Mr.. and
Mrs. L. Marietta was drowned yes
terday in the cellar underneath the
store of L. N. Merritt & Co. at Noun
tain Iron.
The child, an only son, was last
seen at about 1890, in the Merritt
store. He was missed later by his
mother, and search instituted. The
last trace found of him was at the
store, and at about 6 p. m. one of the
employees noticed the cellar door
ajar and on looking down discov-
cred the lifeless form of the child
floating in the water beneath, the
cellar having become flooded to the
depth of several feet by the recent
rains.
Mr.. Marietti and family formerly
lived at the Auburn, recently NOV
ing to Mountain Iron, from which
place the grief-stricken fsther had
left for Buhl only yesterday morn
ing to 60 to work. The case is one
of the sad happenings which come
to blight the lives of some, and the
heart-broken parents have the sym.
pathy of the entire community in
their sad bereavement.

other places iron carbonate con-
tanning 10 to 81 per cent of metallic
iron is found. These abundant
cherry carbonates leave little doubt
that the ferruginous cherts, ferru-
ginous states, jaspers and iron ores
have mainly developed from car
Donate as the original rock, pre-
cisely as in the various districts
south of Lake Superior. However,
it is clear that the pyrite of the car
Donates and the pyrlte rocks have
also made contributions. At the
present time the iron formation has
been developed only at the Helen
mine. Here a good body of high
grade hematite has been shown by
stripping to extend in considerable
areas to the rock surface. In 1901
the first year of shipment, 62,m
tons were shipped"

AETNA II SHIPPER.

The Aetna mine, new proper ty
owned by the steel corporation, be-
gan shipping last week. The Aetna
is small property, which as the
Lowmore used to be the property
of G. A. St. Clair. It adjoins the
Mt. Iron mine, and is said to be on
the same body, with the ore of a.
bout the same grade. It is under
the superintendency of N. S. Haw.
kins. The mine is shipping over
the Missabe road.
The new lesses of the McCumber
forty have ordered diamond drill
to begin operations at once. A.
mother drill may be added later,
1t is said that the explorers are
pretty confident from what they
have found of discovering good in
dications.

NJ SUNDAY TRAINS.

Sunday baseball is thing of the
past between the range towns. The
edict has gone forth that only ex-
cursions gotten up by church So
cieties of religious denomination
will be permitted on Sunday. Base
ball has been tabooed as an irrelig-
ious proceeding and consequently
don't go. Manager Mott of the Ely
team has received advices direct
from President House that the Dull
nth & Iron Range will not run ex.
cursions for base ball purposes.
This decision on the. part of the
railroad naaraagcment, cute of all
amusements in the base ball line

in the week, neither can the spec
tators afford to see the games dur

siderable in railroad fares, hotel
expenses and time to visit the
range towns by the local teams to
play ball and furnish amusements
for the citizens of these towns.
President House knows his busi-
ness; of that there is no doubt.
However, the citizens of the range
towns are not the most pleased over
the decision to run no Sunday spe-
cials. The citizens feel they are
actually tied in for the week and

AROUND AFVABIK.

Explorations during the past six
months on the Kanahwa property
at Biwabik," said w. W. Browne, of
that place, at the Mckay this morn
ing, "prove how little is known
about the Mesaba range formation
by mining men after ten years ex-
perience in development and opera
ton on it. 1t had always been sup
posed before Joseph Sellwood took
the Hale and Kanahwa that they
were small mines of poor ore. The
Hale was one of the first, if not the
fret, propertie wIie asshipped-at
Biwabik, and it has figured in the
business in some way ever since
Last fall explorations in the form
of additional test-pits were begun
on the Kanahwa, and it is said that
the results at seventy-fve feet in
depth have proven that there is
more ore on the property in the new
discoveries than it was ever dream.
eQ existed, ana that 1T ls OF a very
good quality. l understand that
Mr.. Sellwood had the same exper-
ience with a mine on one of the old
ranges, where he took a mine that
was popularly supposed to be work
ed out, and by additional explora-
tons found larger body of rich
ore than had been taken out in the
first place.
"The Biwabik mine Is shipping,
though not at Its maximum, or near
1t. It Is employing about $50 men.
The Ha1e-Kanahwa and the Duluth.
the latter of which Is steel cofpor-
alton property, are both shipping
and employing about eighty-fve
men each."-Herald.

Buhl, several Virginians and Du,'
luthites being interested therein. ::
The work of digging pit for the
purpose of obtaining water for drill
work on the property was commenc-
ed about two weeks ago, but it was
no disappointment to those inter
ested in the proposition when at a
depth of 50 feet they struck good
grade body of ore instead. Latest
reports from the property are that
in this pit the ore body has been
cut to depth of 70 feet, and still
bottomed in iron, but gases COM

CANADIAN ORE DEPOSITS.

Prof. G. r. Van Hise, whose work
on the Mesaba range is considegfd
standard geology on the subject,
has made report to the United
States geological survey on the sub
iect of Canadian deposits of iron
ore on Lake Superior. Prof. Van
Hise says:
"While it may be possible that on
account of glacial erosion the pro-
duct of high-erade ore in Canada
may be less than in the districts of
similar size and geological position
on the United States side of the
boundary, it cannot be doubted that
in the future important quantities
of iron ore will be exploited in the
Canadian Lake Superior region.
Doubtless, also, this exploitation
would have been beg IN many years
ago were it not for Il duty wh hich
ores mined in Can ada must pay
when entering the y nited States.
"The Vermilion ir bn bearing ser.
les has been traced to Hunters Is-
land. Thence these rocks have
been mapped by the Canadian sur
vey as extending fl rst in a north
easterly and then in an easterly di-
rection to the Kan1i inistiqua river,
and thence eastward to the Kenee-
nawan rocks west of Lake Nipigon.
Another great belt of iron bearing
rocks with various ramifications
has been traced by the Canadian
survey from Rainy Lake eastward
to the Canadian Pacific railway and
to Lac des Mile Laos. In this belt
occurs the so-called Atikokan range
in which large deposits of iron ore
are said to outcrop. East and north
of the east half of Lake Superior
various areas of iron bearing rocks
are also found. One or more belts
are said to extend east from Lake
Nipigon. A belt is found adjacent
to the Black and Pic rivers. Sc YER
al belts of iron bearing formation
have been found in the Michipico-
ten district.
AT the present time the only one
of these districts which is a produc-
er is the Michipicoten. While this
district has not been connected re-
ally and structurally with any other
area in the Lake Superior region,
the likeness in the character of it's
rocks and its succession to the Yer
million district leaves little. dc oubt
that the two districts are in most
essential points parallel. In the
Michipicoten district the basement
rock is a greensboro, showing the

articles as souvenirs A large number of things
too. were bid in by agents and by the employees OF
the club for club members whose names did not
appear As a result of this the prices were
rather high Later in the day boarding house
keepers, furniture and curio dealers and second
hand thronged in.
Besides the crowd of buyers there were con-
stantly around the house number of old club
members who sat disconsolate in the old chairs
and surveyed with evident detection the dis
rnantled rooms in which they had spent SO many
pleasant hours Some tried to break the gloom
with faint attempts at joking. Richard Church,
one of the ablest members of the club, and known
as something of a wag would sit some article
about TO be sold and with tears in his voice. say:
You can't have this unless you take me with ft,

go now l can never leave it When the article
was about to be knocked down he would go on to

The president Of the club, Edward Cooper, was
