SIX BIG SHAFTS.

The Steel corporation is sinking
six great shafts at as many of it's
mines on the various ranges. The
largest ever made in the Lake Sup
erior region will be at the Chaplin
mine, at Iron Mountain, Mich. The
Chapiu, like the Penobscot, is a wet
property. The shaft will have a
net size between the timber of 1Ox24
feet. AT the Norrie on the Gogebic
range, a shaft which will be 1900
feet deep is being sunk. At the
Mansfield mine, on the Menominee
range, another big shaft is being
put in. The other three are on the
Vermillion range, one at the Pioneer,
one at the Sibley and another at
the Savoy. The last mentioned
will be 1900 feet deep. Each of the
shafts is supposed to have a capa-
city of about 10000 tons, and most
of them are lined with non-combus-
tible material.

VISITS THE MINES.

President James J. Hill, of the
Great Northern system, accompan.
led by his son, Louis w. Hill, presi.
dent of the Eastern Minnesota, and
D. NJ. Philbin, vice president of the
same line; were on the range Sun.
day, visiting the Sauntry in connec.
ton with other properties in which
their railroad interests center.
The Eastern Minnesota has rap.
idly grown in importance as an ore
carrier since 1893, and this seasons
record will be in excess of 100000
tons, although the road has been
handicapped by shortage of cars
throughout the season, and it is ex-
pected that fully 100000 tons will
be added to the roads record for
another season.
The Great Northern interests con-
troll in fee or by lease many thous-
ands of acres of ore lands in Itasca
and St. Louis counties. Extensive
areas of ore land are being held in
reserve, some of which is known to
contain ore but has never been fullv
explored. Other areas have been
explored but not developed. Mr..
Hill has been especially active in
securing ore lands in order to forti-
ty his road against the future for
ore tonnage. IL !
1t is said the ore holdings of the.
Great Northern, together with it's:
ore carrying contracts, are among
its most valuable assets. The road.
owns the Wright & Davis lands,
comprising about 5000 acres. On
these lands are located several Of
the big mines of the range, includ-
ing the Mahoning and Stevenson,
each of which are in the million ton
class of shippers. z5..:~ ~ !

THE MILL.

Virginia is to have new saw
mill. It will be built and operated
by Charles Plummer of this city,
who is a practical sawmill man and
who has been engaged in a number
of saving contracts in the Duluth
district during the past several
years.
It is reported on good authority
that Mr.. Plummer closed this week
a contract with William O'Brien
and w. H. Cook, of the firm of Cook
Il Turrish. to cut 20O,O00.O0O feet of
timber, which will be logged along
the line of the Duluth, Virginia &
Rainy River line and sawed at the
new mill at Virginia.
It is claimed that other large con.
tracts are in sight, which will give
the new mill another additional
100,O00,O00 feet cut and will insure it
a steady run for at least the next
ten years.
The mill will be the largest that
Virginia has had since the Moon &
Kerr sawmill plant burned down in
1900, during a conflagration that
| practically wiped out the town.
The new mill is said to be planned
for daily capacity of about 100000
fleet of lumber, and tits understood
that the construction work, ~;li@~be-
gin this winter 60 that the plant
will be in operation next season.
Mr.. Plummer makes his home in
the West End of this city, and for
several years ran the old Webber
mill, ten miles north of Lakeside,
where he cut some of his own tim
Der and sold the lumber to Scott &
Graft.
| The new mill will be valuable
addition to the industrial concerns
at Virginia and will insure the
town lively lumber business for
a number of years to come.
William O'Brien, who has been
acquiring large part of the Cook
& Turrish interests during the last
summer and fall. is said to be one
of the heaviest owners of standing
pine in the country along the line
of the new road being built from
Virginia to the boundary.-Duluth

A COOP JOKE ON TALBERT-In
rough and tumble debate Col. w. j.
Talbert is hard man to faze. And
his repertoire of jokes ls extensive and
well chosen. "I never saw Col.
Talbert downcd but ouce,' said a can
didate, " and that was while he was in
Congress. 1t was on Friday, the day
when the pension bills swarm to The
front, and Col. Talbert YVES raising
objection after objection and annoying
the Republicans past endurance. They
were attacking him from all sides, and
he was replying every few minutes IN
the hottest kind of language. Finally
a little dried up chap from Western
State got to his feet and hurled g few
acrimonious adjectives at Col. Talbert.
In his retort Col. Talbert quoted from
the Bible some stinging references to
the fool, and applied them to the man
from the West. The little fellow rose
again and, in voice that cut like
razor, he shouted: sThe gentleman
from South Carolina has seen fit to
lash me with words culled from Holy
Writ. He asseverated that the Bible
declares that the rod should be used
on the back of the fool, and urged me
to take heed of that admonition.
Permit me to observe that the Bible
also declares that man must be born
again, and if by some strange twist of
fate the gentleman from South Caro-
lima is born again hope to God he'll
be still-born.' Well, sir, the Republi-
cans rose IN body and fairly howled
with delight. The Speaker pounded
for order and Col. Talbert made an in
effectual effort to come again, but for
once in his life he could not rise to the
occasion.

MAY VOTE AT PRIMARY
AND SIGN PETITIONS
Attorney General Douglas Recalls
Opinion of Assistant and Says
There Is No Prohibitory Law.

A voter has the right to sign petit
ton for the nomination of an inde-
pendent candidate for Office even
though he has participated in the pri
mary election before the petition is
signed.
Attorney General Douglas has re-
called an opinion recently sent out
from his Office regarding the rights of
a voter to take part in the nomination
of an Independent candidate for an
Office after the voter has taken part in
a primary election.
One of the assistants in the office
some days ago informed the secretary
of a Republican club in Itasca county
that a voter who had participated in
the primary election was not entitled
to sign the petition of a candidate for
the same Office after the primary elec-
ton.
Attorney General Douglas says that
the law of 1893 authorizes a person to
sign petitions for nominations and only
prohibits him from signing more than
one petition for the same office. This
law is silent on the right of the voter
to do so after taking part in the eau
Gus or convention which was then the
manner of making nominations.
The primary election law superseded
the law of 1893 as to nominations, and
the law is silent as to the rights of the
voter to sign petitions after voting at
the primary election. This leaves the
question under the law Of 1898, and in
the absence of any statutory provision
the attorney general rules that a voter
is not prohibited from signing a petit
tion for an Independent candidate even
If he has taken part in the primary
election.
