SAFETY MINING DEVICE.

Osborn Vert, of Ironwood. has in
vented safety gate for mine shafts
which it is believed will come into
general use throughout the mining
districts, and has filed application
for a patent for same. He has been
assured that the construction and
operation of the attachment are
new and that valid patent can be
obtained for it. The safety attach
ment is particularly adapted to OPP
enings into shafts of mines, and
can be used in connection with or
binary elevator shafts. When the
skip or cage is away from the open
ing from drift or level into the shaft
the device has an automatic gate
that closes the opening. The at
tachment is worked by a double
hinged trip attached inside Of the
shaft in such position that the skip
or cage works the gate either going
up or down the shaft. By those who
have examined the model the inven-
ton Is believed Is BE q very yal,,a

.dLsL- III ORE ;SaIrAENTS.'-

Not all of the iron ore shipped
from the Minnesota mines goes
down the lakes, says the Duluth
Herald. Both the Great Northern
and Duluth & Iron Range have con-
siderable all-rail shipments, besides
the amount that is used in the Du-
luth blast furnace.
Six thousand tons of iron ore
from the Mesaba range have gone
this year over the Great Northern
and the Chicago, Burlington &
Quincy, another merger road, to St.
Louis. This shipment was the first
of its kind ever made. The Com
mercial West says of the shipment:
"When Mr.. Hill and his associates
bought the Burlington road he an
nounced that it meant the carrying
of freight to the Orient for 50 a ton,
cheaper coal for Minneapolis and a
resumption of the smelling bust.
ness in st. Lonis. The above an
nouncement completes the fulfill
ment of the three statements that
Mr.. Hill made over a year ago."

NANCE ROADS as LOG CAhKIERS.

The work of the iron range roads
does not cease when ore stops run.
ming, by any means. Both the Du
luth & Iron Range and the Duluth,
Missab be & Northern do large log
business during the winter, and the
spectacle of great trains of logs
running over these lines is not at
all uncommon.
The Duluth & Iron Range this
winter has contracts for hauling
about 100000 feet of timber, be-
sides large amount of pulpwood
and mining timber.
There will also be taken out sew
eral hundred thousand ties along
the line, most of which are being
contracted for by the Northern Pa
cific, the Omaha and Milwaukee
roads.
The Missabe road. too, has a lot
of log work in prospect, and while
this traffic does not come anywhere
near being as great as that created
by the ore business, it keeps large
number of train crews busy during
the winter.
Both of the iron range roads e.
capped with small loss from ore
freezing this year. Last year the
Iron Range road spent at least
$4,000 in thawing frozen ore caught
in the docks and cars by freeze
early in November. This year the
road avoided this by refraining
from storing ore in the docks or on
cars when there was danger of freez-
ing, but left the ore at the mines
until vessels were due to receive it
from the cars.-Duluth Herald.

WILL REOPEN THU EUREKA.

Gogebic exchanges announce that
Corrigan, Mckinney & Co. have
commenced the work of repairing
the shaft at the Eureka mine, near
Ramsay, preparatory to resuming
mining operations at that property
in the near future. The property
adjoins the Anvil on the east, was
opened in 1890 and made its last
shipment in 1895. The mine has
produced a total of l28,719 tons of
ore. The property has been idle for
nearly seven years. A few years ago
Corrigan, Mckinney & Co. secured
the lease, the buildings were razed,
the machinery was removed to the
Colby mine at Bessemer and the
workings allowed to fill with water.
The work of re-opening the proper
ty is in charge of Superintendent
Whitburn, who has charge of the
properties owned by the company
at Bessemer.

UNDER handsome colored cover
the Scientific American of the 18th
inst publishes most interesting
store of information on "Transpor
tation." The number deals with all
phases of the subject, taking up
first Marine Transportation, which
is treated in a series of well-illus-
trated articles. Railroad Transport
tation covers nine pages of reading
matter, in which much of interest
will be found. Following this Sec
ton is that of Electric Traction,
which contains an important article
on the Berlin-Zossen test of the TO-
OOO-volt locomotive.
A special feature of this number
is comparison of the railroad sta
tistics in the United States, in which
the tremendous proportions of our
railroad system are portrayed by a
comparison with various familiar
standards, such as the Pyramid, the
Brooklyn Bridge, etc. The immense
amount of food required to provis-
ion one of our Atlantic liners is
shown in similar manner. In this
way figures and dimensions are
graphically presented and perma.
nently fixed on the mind. On &C.
count of the broad field covered by
this number, it will readily be seen
that matter of interest will be found
to suit all readers.

THE petition for a division of
School District No. % as presented
to the board of county commission
ers at their last meeting by citizens
of Eveleth has met the opposition
predicted, Virginians Directing
with just cause to the inclusion of
the Auburn and Great Western
properties in the proposed new dis
trict, but this and other lesser de-
fects in the proposition give prom
Use of amicable adjustment, and ul-
innate peaceful separation will be
the probable outcome. At a meet
ing of interested citizens a commit
te. composed of Messrs. A. B. Coates,
c. c. Butler and E. J. O'Rourke was
appointed to confer with Evelethites
relative to desired changes, and on
Tuesday met with J. H. Hearding,
Geo. H. Dormer, J. c. Poole and
Prof. c. NJ. Stevens at the Adams Of |
flee, w. H. Eaton being substituted
in place of Mr.. O'Rourke owing to
the inability of the latter to attend.
At this conference it was amicably
agreed to withdraw the petition as
originally presented, and offer a
substitute at the January meeting
of the county board giving District
No. % the territorial concessions |
asked. 1t was further agreed that
the Virginia district continue to be |
known as District No. %, and that
the operation of the proposed new
district does not become effective |
until the close of the school year.
The concurrence of people of Eve
leth on the points noted will doubt
less meet approval at this end of
the district, and void possible trou-
BILE and opposition. Under the d.
vision that will be proposed by the
substitute petition the new district
will have valuation as per present
assessment of approximately 81 &c.,
GOO, while School District No. q will
continue with valuation of over
$2,OO,OOO, insuring sufficient reve-
nue. for the proper maintenance of
Virginia's educational institutions |
in manner guaranteeing a contin-
uance of their present standard as |
the best schools on the iron ranges. |

Boers Acting Ugly.

The settlement Of the annexed terri
tories is causing considerable friction
This is especially noticeable in the
bitter hatred and persecution on the
part of the Beers who stayed in the
field to the end of the war. 1t is said
some of these national scouts have
been shot or beaten.
So intense is the feeling that many
of the burghers who fought consist
emily TO the end distinguish them
selves from those who surrendered
during the war by wearing a green
badge.
Many burghers declare they were
induced TO surrender by the false rep
reservations of their leaders. who
painted the terms too rosily The ma
iority of the Beers have apparently
in no way abandoned their independ-
eut IDEAS. and some of them preach
the advisability of opening Dutch
schools so as TO keep alive their ma
tionality.
The whole situation so bristles with
difficulties that there are not lacking

signed May 81 was really the final set

Mr.. Hutchins spent from 1861 to

a northern soldier and with the~re-
suit that he contracted Rheumatism
which gave him much pain till Mr..
Fred Parker, the local druggist, ad-
vised him to try Dodd's Kidney Pills.
The first two boxes did not seem
to help him very much, but Mr.. Park
er, knowing that Dodds Kidney Pills
would eventually cure him, pressed
Mr.. Hutchins to continue and by the
time four boxes were used the short,
sharp, shooting pains which had tor
tured his back, hip, and legs were
entirely gone. Mr.. Hutchins says:

Big Loss Of Life In Utah Mine.

TWO powder magazines at the 200
foot level of the Daly-West mine, one
OF the largest silver producers in Utah.
exploded about | o'clock Wednesday
morning, causing loss of life that t
present cannot be estimated nor even
guessed at
At o'clock - men had been taken
out OF the mine dead and several
others had been removed in a half
daZed condition.
These were all brought out through
the Ontario mine shaft. which is a
mile distant from the Daly-West. in
which the explosion occurred. The
LOO level of the Daly-West CORE
spends to and is connected by tunnel
with the 600 level Of the Ontario.
In the Daly-West mine between 100
and loo men were at work. In the
Ontario were nearly 100. ii is believed.
1t is not known how many of these
are dead. but the disaster extends to
the Ontario. as the noxious gases that
have been freed are known to be the
cause OF several of the deaths. The
presence of these gases leads many
miners TO believe that the powder was
burned and that the explosion was not
the chief cause Of the disaster.
