Shipments May Show Decrease.


In speaking of the ore output of
the Corrigan, Mckinney & Co.
mines on the Mesaba for the season,
the News Tribune says that total
shipments from their range prop
critics will amount to about 1,5OO,-
600 tons, or about 10000 tons less
than was anticipated at the opening
of the season. So far the COM
pany's Mesaba mines have sent
down about 100000 tons, three
fourths of which came from the
Stevenson, in the Hibbing district.
. Corrigan, Mckinney & Co. are the
largest independent ore producers
in the Lake Superior region, and
last year forwarded to the eastern
markets upwards of 100000 tons.
Eastern advices would indicate a
possible falling off in the ore mined
and forwarded to market as com
pared with last season, but mine Of
ficials of the steel corporation say
they have heard nothing as yet to
indicate that shi p1nents from the
corporation properties will fall
short of the past season.

Proving an East End find.

Hon. Neil McInnis and others are
proving an ore find in section Is,
59-14, near Mesaba. The ore is said
to have have been encountered in
several pits, but is very shallow.
The company also holds state op-
tion on section 16, adjoining, which
is much lower ground, and where
they anticipate that explorations
will prove the ore body of greater
thickness. The ore is said to be a
high grade and of very desira BILE
structure.

On the T0wnsite.

DR.. c. G. Kimball, whose knowl-
edge of what was done about here
in the early days is greater than
anyone's, has had it in his head
right along that there is mine on
the townsite in the lower end of this
city. About year ago he started
to do little work, but desisted un-
til he could interest others with
him who had capital enough to
swing the exploration no matter
how difficult the thing turn out to
be. He kept his option right along
and has just succeeded in interest
ing number of Mesaba range min
ing men in the venture. w. J.
Moore, a son-in-law of Mr.. Kimball
and an old Crystal Falls business
man, came here this week as the
representative of the Mesaba range
parties. He had with him mining
engineer and they made a careful
survey of the property and have
gone back to the Mesaba to make a
report on the property.
While they gave out no definite
information as to what they intend
doing, yet they gave the people they
met to understand that there is
much likelihood of their putting a
DIAMOND drill on the property. 1t
is stated that good ore was met with
where the mineral spring is in a
shaft that was put down there long
ago, but the place was so wet that
it was impossible to do anything
with it and the place was given up
to use as mineral spring instead
of mine.
IT the Mesaba parties take up the
property they will put a drill some
where near the spring and see what
the ore that was there found
amounts to.-Drill, Crystal Falls.

M MEMORIALS.

Beside the shining rivers brim,
By vital green Of grasses spanne6
And circled by the hills that rim
The blue horizons wonderland
The ruins of dwelling rise
Pathetic to the evening Skies
Mounds, where hearthfire once was bright;
And tumbled rails that grdled in
garden with its blooms alight
And waving growths, their next of kin;
Above wellsweep rising sheer
Out Of the wreck Of many a year.
An eloquence of what is past
Broods like a ghost around the place;
The dreams that brick and stone outlast
Sit peering in each others face
Loi every cornerstone is rife
With phantoms of forgotten lifei
Here love was patent, work and play
Lifted twin voices clear and stroneA
There is no other sound today
Save music of the rivers song:
Across the crumbled years they CALL
The wellsweep and the ruined wall
