MINNESOTA
YEARS ORE SHIPMENTS
Minnesota Viii Establish Record OF
About 1890, 900 Gross Tons.

Minnesota VIII Establish Record OF
About 15,soo,ooo Gross Tons.
DULUTH, MINN.-The most extraor
binary season in the history of ore ship
ping in Minnesota is now practically
closed. 1t is expected that the present
weather will wind up the shipping In a
day or two. The snow, followed by colder
weather yesterday. made the handling Of
the ore difficult and expensive
Up to last night the Duluth & Iron
Range road was shipping from the Genoa
and Fayal on the Mesaba range and from
all the mines on the Vermilion. All of
these are underground properties, though
the Fayal is also an open pit and milling
proposition. The road to date has shipped
from it's docks at Two Harbors 1852, 100
gross tons, as compared with 100000 for
the entire season last year. The road Will
certainly exceed 100000 gross tons, as
much Of the ore to be delivered is OF the
hard variety and contains comparatively
little moisture. szr.-t ~ - 70
The Duluth, Missabe & Northern road
expects to round out an even 5.6OO,OO0
gross tons shipments for the season. The
only mines shipping on that line are the
Adams, Mountain Iron and Spruce. 1t
now looks as if the Missabe road and the
Iron Range road would come very close to
Z tie in the volume of shipments for the
year, about 100000 tons each.
The Great Northern road has shipped
from Its docks on Allouez bay 4,156,O OO
tons Of ore, and expects to ship $4,000 tons
more. Minnesota will this year establish
q record of about 100000 gross tons, as
compared with 10,79O,953 gross tons last
year.
While this enormous increase will prove
a surprise to everybody outside of the
mining and iron industries. it will be in
teresting to state that the shipments from
this state next year will probably be be-
tween 100000 and 20,O00,000. It is not
guesswork. The assurances exist for the
statement. The Great Northern expects
to handle 100000 tons next year. This
road, which shipped less than 1000. 600
tons in 1898. will next year ship from sew
enteen underground and four open pit
mines. There are several large new mines
to enter the shipping list next year, in
addition to the normal increase of demand
from the present mines.
The Mesaba range, which shipped its
first ore in 1892, less than one large cargo
has this year shipped more than $4,000, OO(
tons.

him over.

Representative Young of Valley City
was in Jamestown Monday night and
discussed the speakership question
with the Stutsman county representa-

that Mr.. Young had to say and it is
said were favorably impressed with
his candidacy and the fact THAT if el-
ected to preside over the house he
would make a capable presiding
officer. Mr.. Young states that his
candidacy is not in the interest Of
any senatorial candidate what ever
and that as far as he knows no candi-
date for the senate is taxing any hand
in the speakership contest. The
James valley counties and the Mis-

orally favorable to the candidacy of a
man outside OF the Red river valley.

Thanksgiving Day.

Thursday was not a typical New
England Thanksgiving with snow and
blustery weather, but was fine fall
day often seen in this state. No snow
has fallen and the sun shone bright
and warm. Some of the dinners given
by families to friends and guests were
elaborate affairs. The hotels spread
them selves as usual. The Gladstone
menu was replete with good things
gootten up under the supervision of
Chef Bertal.
Capt. Ingraham set before his guests
at the Capital Hotel a meal that did
credit to any first class caravansary.
Mrs. Harrington's annual dinner was
also equal to her former efforts and
made all who partook of the appetiz-
ing viands feel that life was worth
living.
At the state hospital the patients
enjoyed huge turkey dinner. Stew
ard Milsted had provided some 80 tur-
keys and a half a dozen chickens, toge-
ther with quantities of other Thanks
giving food, all of which was greatly
relished by the patients.

Bid Down the Rate of
Interest

The annual tax sale for StutSman
county was held today lat the court
house. The only tracts brought by
the county were few city lots.
Something like dozen persons were
present to bid on the lands.
One notable feature of the sale was
the bidding down on the interest rate
by the purchasers of the land. The
law allows 25 per cent per annum, but
one tract was bid down too per cent
and nearly all the lands was bid down
to 10 per cent. This is evidence that
the lands are in demand and shows the

To Farmers of Stutsman County.

Messers Hopkins s. Hubbard Of Hol-
stein Iowa are disposed to build a
creamery at jamestown. They are
we'll known men and have several
creameries in Iowa and Illinois. They
are men,of substantial character. They
have looked over the country around
jamestown and are willing to put in a
creamery provided they can have a
guarantee of the cream from 500 COWS.
The farmers, therefore, who are will
ing to furnish the cream Of any num-
Der Of COWS are requested to callat the
office of 3. S. Russell & Co and sign an
agreement to furnish the cream of any
number OF COWS that they are willing
to assume. If the product OF 800 COWS
can be guaranteed Hopkins & Hubb-
ard will at once begin preparations OF
securing ice necessary for that purpose
and commence the building their
creamery in March 1908. 1t needs nc
argument to show the profits that will
accrue to any farmer from this enter
prise. Further explanation will be
given by calling on NJ. D. Williams or
3. S. Russell. 1t isIrequested that
every farmer will act promptly upon
this.
