WILL MAKE KOUCHICHING.

Minneapolis capital has secured
control of the valuable water power
of the Rainv river at Kooch1chinp
and Fort Francis, Ont. The Kooch-
iching company, made up largely
of Minneapolis men, owned the
American rights at Koochiching
on the American side, and Satur-
day the Ontario provincial cabinet
granted certain concessions as to
the Canadian rights, which removes
all obstacles to the early establish
ment of industries at this point,
and the rapid increase in impor-
tance of both Koochiching and
Fort Francis: The Koochiching e
company contemplates building
plants to be operated by itself in
use of the water power, and will al
so sell power. Engineering work
may begin this winter. In the early
spring the falls will be harnessed
and active development of the tok-
ems will begin.
Progress has been delayed for
some time in obtaining government
concessions before possession of
the Canadian falls could be gained.
The water rights of the Minne-
apolis company on the Rainy river
are considered very valuable. On
the American side of the island in
the middle of the river no improve
ment has been made. The water
flows over rocky cascade. The top
ledge maybe easily removed to the
solid rock, which will form a base
for power dam.
On the Canadian side during the
Reil rebellion Gen. Wolsey's men
began the making of locks. No
dam was put in. but the lock was
cut out of the solid granite and over
this sheer wall the water falls. ,.yz
! Nature has endowed the region
about Fort Francis and Koochich-
ing with rich advantages. The
woods on either side OF the river
affords supplies Of pulp wood for a
long time to come. This ineures
the establishment Of paper mills. q

Under Dew Law.
City Council Votes to Come
Under Municipal Law
Of 1895.
GIVES MORE PRIVILEGES.

At an adjourned meeting of the
common council on Wednesday
evening, by request, Attorney
Palmer presented the salient feat
ures of the municipal law of 1895
for the consideration of the city
fathers, and by unanimous vote of
members present II the absentees
being President Donnelly and AL
derman Hovland-the city vacated
it's former government and accept
ed the provisions of the new law.
This action was doubtless precipi-
tated owing to the fact that the
new law grants wider scope in
many ways, including the grant
ing of exclusive franchises, etc.
1t also provides for but one Alder
man from each ward, and in the
case of city 80 sub-divided as Vir-
ginia, two aldermen, at large. The
clerk will be an appolntive> Office
under the new regime, and the
new mayor and council are entitled
to fix their salary, with limitations.
The election of city officials will be
for two years instead of one, to be
held in November of each odd num-
ber year, and it is the opinion that
the present administration will hold
over until one year from January
next, at which time the officials
elected in November, 1903, will take
possession of their respective Offices
and enter upon the duties thereof.
Another meeting of the council
will be held tomorrow evening, al
which time it is expected that H. B
Fryberger, of Duluth, will be pres
ent in the interests of the Mesaba
Electric Railroad Co., asking fol
franchise privileges for the pro.
posed new line.

IMPOklANCE OF THE MESABA.

c. X. Leith, of the United States
geological, survey, has submitted a
special report on the Mesaba iron
bearing district of Minnesota, which
now ranks first in point of ore pro-
duction of any like area in the
United States.
After discussing at length the
nature and character of the range
Mr.. Leith says:
i" In 1891 the district had not been
opened. In 1895 the Mesaba became
the largest producer in the Lake
Superior region, passing the Mar
quette district, which, since 1864,
has held first place.
In 1901 the total production of
the Mesaba district was A per cent
of the Lake Superior region, ship
ing two and one half times as much
as it's nearest competitor, the Me-
nominee, which in 1901, for the first
time, surpassed the Marquette dis
trict in production.
Largely on account of the Mesaba
production, the state of Minnesota
in 1901 passed the state of Michigan
as the largest iron producer in the
United States.
In total shipments the Mesaba
district is still behind Marquette
district. At the close of 1901 the
Mesaba district had shipped total
of 40, 4O4,9 ,967 long tons, and the Mar
quette district, open since 1854, had
shipped 62,847,473 tons. -:
At the present rate of production
the Mesaba will pass that from the
Marquette district in about four
years.
The total amount of high grade
ore-that is containing above per-
haps $3.50 per cent of metallic iron
at present in sight on the Mesaba
range has been estimated at 100000
600 tons. Of this 20 to 25 per cent is
Bessemer ore.
The aggregate amount of high
grade ore in sight up to 1902 on all
the old ranges of the Lake Superior
region has been thought not greatly
to exceed 250,OO0,OOO tons.
Even if the estimates for the Mesa
ba range and the old ranges are
considerably away from the truth,
it is apparent that the Mesaba range
holds commanding position in the
region in it's reserve tonnage.
In 1901 the United States Steel cor
poration sold about 72 per cent of
the total Mesaba productio IN.
The Eastern railway of Mi nnesotaI
(the Great Northern) stands we'll up
among the leading iron ore interests!
and if the iron ore deposits not yeti
opened for mining were taken into
account, the Eastern railw way would
probably stand second only to the
United States Steel corpotation.

Donate The site! !
The Moon & Kerr Lumber
!" Co. Will Give Moon Forty
for Mil Purposes.
PROVIDED FIRE SUITS ARE WITH
DRAWN.

Preliminary arrangements look
ing toward the securing of the pro-
posed new mill and railroad shops
for Virginia have progressed with
pleasing rapidity during the week,
as also in a manner most. satisfac-
tory to our citizens.
As noted in our last issue, the
proposition of the Cook & O'Brien
interests asked the deciding of the
"Moon forty" on the west side of
Silver Lake, in addition to lease
of the former mill site and a deed
of the strip of land between the
new railroad line and Silver Lake,
owned by the Improvement Co. and
allied interests.
Mr.. Noon returned to Duluth
Saturday and on Saturday evening
accompanied the projectors of the
new enterprise to this city, where
he made the verbal offer of a dona-
tion of the desired forty, condition.
ed upon the withdrawal of all ac-
tions against his company arisin e
from the fire of 1900. This offer met
with a temporary division of opin-
ion, but the majority finally car
ried full consent, with one or two
possible exceptions, and relinquish-
ment papers in proper form are
being drawn for the signatures of
interested fire sufferers.
The proposition of Hessrs. Cook
Il O'Brien is for the. erection of a
two band mill, and planer, also the
erection of railroad shops and the
permanent establishment of head
quarter Offices of the Duluth, Vir.
ginia 4 Rainy Lake Railroad at this
point. The estimated expense OF
these improvements is placed al
$125,Ooo, and when complete the
mill and shops will furnish steady
employment throughout the year
ltoseveraI nign. G *@@ss
The company is anxious to have
all negotiations complete as quick.
ly as possible, that the erection OF
the mill may not be unnecessarily
delayed, and it is likely that two
weeks hence will see active work
under way.
The value of these proposed i'm.
provements to the industrial and
commercial interests of the city
cannot be overestimated, and will
materially assist in the permanent
Importance of Virginia as the com
mercial center of the range.

The O tiver-Synder Steel company
has puTfhased from Charles E. Prin.

the lease of forty acres of Mining
land in ,ection "a, 1922. The deal
was clos eed within day or two, but
the confederation has not been
given out. The property contains
about g. 10000 tons of ore of good
quality and carries royalty OF &c

The fee is owned by Day Bros, OF
