Arrested in Austria.

Frank Skerlez, who is accused Of
the murder Of Charles Pavelka near
Duluth few months ago for his
money, has been arrested by the
authorities of Austro-Hungary for
the crime. Skerlez was captured on a
farm near Belovar in Austria.
Pavelka is said to have had $500 in
his possession which Skerlez knew
about. The latter, it is claimed, in
duced his victim to go to Duluth and
after remaining there for few days
the two started back for the lumber
camp where they had been employed.
On the way it is said that Skerlez
shot pavelka and then hid the body
in the bushes. The crime was not
discovered until eleven days later and
by that time Skerlez had returned to
his old home in Austro-Hungary.
County Attorney McClintock has

Recommend Cancellation.

Register Culkin and Receiver Smith
of the Duluth land office, have rem
dered decision in favor of Amy 5.
Bell contestant, recommending the
cancellation of Martin Johnson s.
homestead entry on the south half
of the southeast quarter of section Ii,
and the north half of the northeast
quarter of section "a, 1920.
The con testant claimed that John
son had abandoned his homestead
and had failed to improve the land,
Reviewing the testimony of the con-
testee upon which the decision was
rendered the local officers state that
Johnson claimed to have first visited
the tract on Nov. s, 1902, four months
after he made his entry. At this
time he alleges he cut roads and built
house but did no clearing. He re-
manned there about month ano
claimed that he left the homestead
| in order to earn money with which
to pay for further Improvements
He asserted that lie could not support
himself on the land and next visited
it on Aug. 81, 1904, when he remained
five DAYS. He was on the homestead
from March % to April 6, 1904 ant
visited the claim at two other times
this year.
sit seems that these operations o
the entryman are mere visits to TIT

pose of making q colorado showing

recite in their decision. "a desire t,

to make the land home, which lass
accompanied by compliance with TIL

Report has it'that party OF st.
Paul capitalists are endeavoring to
secure control of the Highland iron
range, which has been mentioned
from time to time as sooner" in
the iron world. The range is about
twelve miles this way from Two Har-
bors, and the heart of the district is
the Mcleod property.
A number of people, including w.
T. King, have holdings contiguous to
the Mcleod tract. on different sides,
and it is said to be this surrounding
ring of land that the ST. Paul people
are after, although up to this time
they have not been able to get as
much as they would like, according to
the information that is abroad.
The holders of the land outside the
Mcleod property say they are going
to hang on to their leases and develop
whatever can be brought out, and do
independently So far the range has
never been much of a success, and
although diamond drills and various
methods of exploration and discovery
have been attempted, the production
of ore in paying quantities hiss yet to
be performed.

A Pleasant Evening.

Tine members of the Ely Fire De-

hearts and a few invited guests, en-
joyed very pleasant .time at cards
and music at the City Hall Friday
evening.
Nineteen tables were in operation
at one time and fifteen games of pro-
gressive pedro were played. The
highest number of games won by the
ladies was eleven and Miss Rena
Doyle, Mrs. Lockhart and Mrs.
Schaefer tied. In the cut Miss Doyle
won and was awarded the head prize.
The foot prize for ladies was won by
Miss Elda Skogland with two games.
-Four of the gentlemen were tied on
eleven games each and in the settle
ment the prize was won by M. e..
Gleason, defeating liver Visited, j. w.
Osborne and II. j. Lockhart. The
bloody" was won by John Glode who
by strenuous efforts had succeeded in
winning three games out of fifteen.
After the games most delectable
lunch was served. The tables and
chairs where then removed and those
who wished danced a few turns to the
excellent music of Mr.. Reuther and
Miss Carey. Several choice selections
were also rendered by the orchestra
and Mr.. Reuther sang two beau tiful
ballads
Altogether the evening was an en-
joyable one and many requests for a

Future Demand for Iron and Steel

Imam editorial discussion Of the
iron and steel trade situation, the
New York Journal OF Commerce and
Commercial Bulletin declares that
''the demand for IRON and steel pro-
ducts cannot fail to receive and to in
crease IN this country, and it is not
unlikely to rise in the coming year to
meet even the enlarged capacity f, r
production that was induced by the
s'boom" of two and three years ago.
The railroads, which Incurred heavy
expense in the use of these materials
during that period and were checked
by high prices and generally increas-
ing expenses, have only been waiting
to resume the work Of extension, re-
newal and improvement in construct
ion and equipment. Much of this
work was uncompleted and much re-
|
main to be undertaken. There is still
thousands of miles of old iron and
| light steel track to be replaced. There
is a great need on many lines of
double tracking and additional sid
ings. Many old bridges and trestles
of wood and of earlier iron and steel
work remain, which must be replaced
with modern construction without
much further delay, and extensions
and renewals are going on all the
time. There is the same need OF inn
provements in equipment as. in con-
struction. New cars and locomotives
are constantly demanded, not only to
take the place of those that are worn
out or broken down, but to furnish in
creased power and enlarged capacity.
Steel has taken the PLACE of wood in
only small percentage of the rolling
stock, and its use is bound to extend
almost Indefinitely. Tllen there are
the requirements for structural iron
and steel in building in the growing
cities and towns of the; country, and
the vast and varied demand for ma
chinery and appliances OF manufac-
turing establishments, and for the
tools and implements of the farm, the
workshop and the household"

Dastardly Outrage.

Sunday morning at about o'clock
an attempt was made to blow up the
residence of Mayor M. L. Fay at Vir-
ginia with dynamite. All the MEM
bers of Capt. Fay's family were in
the building at the time but the fact
that the explosive was placed under
the porch accounts for the Illustration
of the dastardly plans and only a
nominal damage was done.
The supposition by the authorities
at Virginia is that Capt. -Fay's life
alone was attempted and that a noise
on the porch brought the Capt. down
when the dynamite exploded. How
ever Mr.. Fay did not reach the door
before the explosion and was saved.
The suspicion prevails that the act
was the work of some of the saloon
and gambler element who wished to
get even with the mayor for ordering
the state laws enforced in their cases.
Capt. Fay's residence was one Of
the finest on the ranges and new a
year ago. The damages are estimated
at $500. The police are exerting
every energy to locate the peIpre'
| traitors.

Next Seasons Estimates.

From present indications about 3d.
600. 900 tons Of iron ore will be moved
from the Lake Superior region next
season. This is the prediction of a
man very prominently identified with
the lake marine, and lie does not
make such predictions without some
excellent reason for his estimate.
This means that the ore movement
from Lake Superior in 1905 will break
all previous records for single sea.
son: that it will be 100000 tons in
excess of the season record, made in
1902, and be as least 100000 tons
greater than the prospective record
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1904-11-18
So PER YEAR IN ADVANCE

for the present season of 1904. The
News Tribune authority says further
that all new boats now under con-
struction for the lake trade, and
which will go in commission next
spring or early in the summer, will
find plenty of business. The move
ment of 100000 tons of iron ore
from Lake Superior next season
means that the shipments from Du-
luth, Two Harbors and Superior will
be in the neighborhood of 10000, 600
or II 600, 900 tons.
The boom in shipbuilding and the
extensive preparations that the Min
nesota ore roads are making for handl-
ing their product next year all seems
to bear out the prediction of mon
ster shipment next season.
