and they have been working to this
end, to have shipments cease about
November l, as the cost Of handling
frozen ore knocked large holes in the
cost sheet. This has been publicly
announced since the corporation be-
gan it's existence. Some of those In
authority on the anges seem to think
the Cleveland dispatch had reference
to this and that the News-Tribune
in an attempt to do something big
added the word mines" to the dis
patch. Just this one word would
create sensation as can be plainly
seen.
According to the outlook on the
ranges there is no immediate prospect
of a shutdown. At this season of the
year when the underground mines
are on the verge of stock-piling and
otherwise getting ready for winter,
a curtailment OF tine working forces
is in order. This happens every year.
The Chandler is working its usual
quota of men. The Pioneer Is work.
ing the same force as last month, con-
trary to rumors that large numbers
were being laid off. The Zenith, Sib-
ley and Savoy have about the same
forces at work as last month. A few
men are quitting, some go into the
woods, others to the old country.
The Pennsylvania coal fields are hold
ing out some alluring situations and
several have gone there from here and
and the Mesaha ranges. Others have
taken their places. A shutdown Ct
either of these mines would practical
ly mean their ruination or great
| damage.
As a whole, the Tribune article Of
Saturday was serious affair and we
are surprised that a sheet claiming to
be a legitimate newspaper would give
it space without investigation. The
article should have never been printed
The paper should have forseen the
evil effects of such report to the
business interests of Duluth and St.
Louis county.
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1903-09-25

A careful search among the author
tiles of the United States Steel cor
poration fails to disclose the name
of the party who was responsible for
the dispatch to the Duluth News
Tribune of Saturday announcing the
closing of all the Steel corporation
mines, docks, ETC., on November l.
Another strange fact of the proceed
ings is that not another paper in
the country was faFored with SINH
lar dispatch and many are of the
opinion that the News-Tribune in
its efforts to emulate certain yellow
journals has put its foot in it. If
the article was intended for scoop"
it has certainly had its desired eff
ect.
It was a Scoop and what is more
it was the means Of tying up thou
sands of dollars which rightfully be-
longed to the merchants of'the range
cities and which is being held back
by the laborers owing to the article
in question. Thursday and Saturday
were pay days here and the Chand-
Ter. Pioneer, Zenith. Savoy and Sib-
ley mines distributed among its en-
ployes over 100000. The larger part
of this money was due to the mer-
chants of Ely. Saturday the News
Tribune appeared at noon with its
tale of woe and inside of an hour the
news spread throughout the mines.
The effect was instantaneous. Purse
strings were pulled tight and people
who have promptly paid at every pay
day, have paid only part. The same
conditions prevail at the other range
towns.
While the situation is not serious,
it is nevertheless a fact that the en-
tire county of St. Louis has been
damaged financially. by this yellow
dispatch. The wholesale houses Of
Duluth have also felt the effects Of
this gossip. A travelling man in the
city last evenin g said he had lost
over $4,000 worth of orders on the
strength of the report. Dozens
of others report the same. Many
laboring men and their families are
leaving the ranges daily for the old
country and others are going to
Pennsylvania where they have Sc
cured employment in the coal mines.
A MINER representative called on
the superintendents of the various
mines about Ely in regard to the
rumor of shut down. Each and all
decisively denied having officially
received any notification of such a
course, claiming they certainly would
be informed If such was the program.
The strike of the vessel men will
curtail shipments for the season and
some of the mines may be compelled
to carry over some ore to next season.
but all intend to ship as close up. to
freeze-up as<possible, providing the
lake situation does not prevent it. If
the managers of the mines are not
aware of the plans of the Corporation
officials. it seems strange that some
Cleveland string fiend should be ON the
inside.

There are large number of people
in the Lake Superior district who
feel very much interested in the out
come of the Consolidated Lake Super
ior company at the Canadian Sault.
Many expect that the company will
eventually discharge all obligations
and get started on a new and sound
basis. The Consolidated were the
hackers of the Section Thirty COM
pany. The throwing out of employ
ment of several thousand men at the

severe setback, for it is not considered
likely that the affairs of the corpora
tion can be adjusted and placed on
working basis for long time. The
minority stockholders are fighting the
majority and the information comes
from New York that Speyer & Co. are
preparing to forclose on loan of
S., 500, 900. The allied industries at
the Sault have been generally known
as the .'Clergue syndicate" For the
past ten years the company was under
the leadership of Francis II. Clergue,
who is said to be without doubt the
greatest promoter in the land today.
1t has been claimed, however, that he
is not as practical as he should be to
successfully carry his enterprises to a
