ton of the News Tribune: :. . :: !.
With the admission of Virginia
to the high school list of Minnesota
the attention of the state board
seems to have been drawn to the
iron ranges. The result is that il
has now been given out, with some
degree of certainty, that the ranges
will this year take a prominent
place in high school affairs.
Hibbing. which now has the dis
tinction of having the finest graded
school building, and one of the fin
est systems, in the state, will this
year be in the high school class.
Eveleth, which has one of the best
balanced school courses, but which,
up to date, has always been consid-
cred, educationally, as part of
Virginia, this year takes her proper
place. In addition to the regular
high school courses, Eveleth has
now fine normal training course
Ely, also, has every prospect OF
being among the recognized high
school towns, and, without doubt
will be put upon the list this year
The work of the Ely schools is ra p,
idly taking an advanced position.
With four recognized high schools
on the ranges, and with several 9th.
er schools doing full high school
work, education in St. Louis ,unty
is taking rank.
In almost every instance this is
the result of the broad minded man.

at the N. E. Church was delivered
on Tuesday evening, by the Rev. S
D. Hutsinpiller, D. D., of Minnea DO.
liz, the subject of his discourse be.
ing Common Sense and Nonsense.
The audience was large and appre.
ciative, the attention rapt and con
tinuous, and although the delivery
of the lecture consumed almost
two hours of time the interest
was undated from commencement
until the close. The lecture was
full of wit, humor, learning and
philosophy, and so happily distrib.
uted that no part of it ever became
monOtonous but on the contrary
appeared to come in It's proper
place. DR.. Hutsinpiller is an orator
of great ability. He has the genius
of the orator, has great literary at
tainments, has mind stored with
information by study and extensive
travel in our own and foreign
lands, is a student of human natur>
has the faculty of expressing his
ideas tersely, beautifully and with
force, and withal a voice that is
pleasing and attractive. The lee
ture was comprehensive in its scope,
embracing the common sense and
nonsense of the bishop, preacher,
tinancier and laborer, the fashion
able lady and the domestic, and
closed with an optimistic view of
the future of our civilization, por-
ira yed'in a beautiful word picture
climax. The third Lecture in the
course will be delivered in the NJ. +.

for the past three months by the Bling

the terms of an option TO purchase the

a fine body of ore. and that conditions

summation of the deal, barring unfOre-
seen circumstances, is assured. The
incline shaft, which has been extended
from the 600 level to the 700 has been
in ore Of an excellent grade all the
way, and the south drift from the 700
is also progressing through a body Of
quartz of a good grade and generous
size. This ore chimney extends to the
surface, and as progress is made
toward the apex of the mountain, it
increases materially, both in size and
grade. and seems TO justify the belief

oRE-HAULING CONTRACT.
Sixty Teams Will Be Employed in
Moving Majestic Ores to Smelter.

That the Ma jestiC company is rapidly
getting things in shape to begin prOduc-
ton is shown I'm the following account of
the Roadway that has been made during
the past week, related by the Milford
Times:
James A Low of Beaver was the
lowest bidder for the big ore hauling
| contract of the Majestic company, which
was awarded yesterday. The contract
calls for a maximum of 800 tons daily
from the Harrington-H Hickory. Old Hick-
DRY and Q. X. and work is to be com

which the contract was taken are not
made public. but il is said that they are
very close to the price at which the COM

about sixty teams to handle the contract

and fifteen or twenty teams will do the
work. For the present the entire haul
from the Old Hickory and O. x. viii be
made by wagon. no traffic arrangements
having been made with the railroad COM
pany.
THE strike I'm the Conner shaft of the
Harrington hickory. as reported last
week, has developed 10 amazing proper
tons. No such discovery has been made
in this section since the opening of the
sensational ore bodies in the o. X We'd
nesday night the shaft had gone down
far enough to show a thickness of thirty
two feet of ore. and the bottom has not

galena and wulfenite. Fully one-half of
the ore carries 30 per cent lead and sixteen
TO twenty ounces silver, while the other
half is Of lower grade. running in value

ton. This is what is known as the flat
vein Of the Harrington Hickory. dipping

IL has been opened up by old workings 800
feet above. and this strike therefore gives
800 feet Of backs. Such an amount OF
stopping ground on a thirty-foot vein will
yield an enormous tonnage. There was
sufficient ore i'm sight, before the strike
was made. TO supply the lead furnace for
a year and a half. and the developments
in the Conner greatly increase the avail
