Tower's Indian School.

Considerable trouble is being ex-
perienced by the authorities in get
ting the Indian children from the
Net Lake district to attend the school
on Vermilion lake near Tower and an
Indian agent is now in that country
trying his powers to induce them to
attend. The government cannot
compel them to go but can keep
them for two years after enrolment.
With $4,000 plant for the educa-
tion Of the Indian children, with
free board 'and sutton, it seems
strange that this should be wasted.
We would suggest the turning of the
affair over to .the Tower authorlt-
les for the use OF the white children
on the same terms. The school
would be overcrowded.

Wishes to Protest.

S. G.. Iverson, State auditor, has
sent telegram to Congressman
]. Adam Bede at Washington, asking
that Minnesota be given an oppor-
tunity to be heard on bill which the
congressman has introduced provld-
ing that hereafter in all swamp land
contests the field notes of the United
States surveyors shall be considered
prime facie, not absolute, evidence Of
the character of the land.
Mr.. Iverson thinks that the bill il
it becomes law will be detrimental
to the interests of Minnesota by open
ing the way for Vulnerable contests
between persons and the state for the
possession Of land claimed by the
state under the swamp land grant Of
1860 and by individuals under home
stead laws and forestry scrips.
Under a ruling OF Secretary Hitch
cock, filed year ago, the field notes
OF the surveyors are absolute evidence
OF the character OF the land. Min
nesota has. therefore, simply to prove
that the field notes describe certain
section of the land as swamp in order
to establish her claim to it under the
swamp land grant. It would be alto
gether different under the proposed
bill, Anyone might file an affidavit
to the effect that the land is not
swamp and the dispute would result
in a verbal Quibble as to what is
meant by 'sswamp land"

Editor Bingham of the Two Har-
bors Journal took US to account last
week for giving our version or the
proceedings under the game laws
whereby Warden Tabor OF Two Har-
bors contiscated several moose heads
from Fall Lake citizen and accuses
us OF falsely representing things.
That Warden Tabor did his duty Is
unquestioned, we only questioned the
adyisability OF the laws which make
It possible for one man to keep what
another is deprived Of. 1t is no. a
matter of law we were discussing but
a matter of justice.
Wadsworth had neglected to secure
the necessary tags for the heads and
under The law was not allowed to keep
them. This part is admitted. The
only question would be, where did
Wadsworth get the heads? The ac-
cused admitted having killed one him.
self, for which he had a license.
Where he secured the others is a
question. II they were illegally Sc
cured. the law which makes such
things possible is at fault. To argue
the matter does not help it in the
least. The law should be such that
the game wardens should pay atten.

much to the dead ones. II they did

that bids fair to wrest from her the
honors has passed but eleven ship
ping seasons, the first season COM
prising single cargo shipment in
1893. Since mining was first begnn In
the Lake Superior district, on the
Marquette range in 1850. total ship
ments from the district have been
244.475, SIT tons, of which the Mesaba,
in its short existence, has produced
IS, $40, 761 tons or 27.2 per cent. The
burden of furnishing supplies for the
furnaces falls heavier each year on the
Mesaba. One reason for this is that
the demand for iron ore has greatly
increased within the past ten or
twelve years and that the furnace in
terests are concentrating their de-
deposits of old range ores which are
of lesser magnitude than those of the
Mesaba. The Marquette range has
shipped 69.S0O.89 gross tons since
1850, or 2s.6 per cent. Of the grand
total. The Mesaba range comes next
with 66,577,771 tons, or 27.2 per cent.
shipped since 1893. The Menominee
range is third in importance with
1913, 400 tons, or 1873 per cent, ship
ped since 1877. The Gogebic is fourth.
with 4O,649. 454 tons, OF 1876 per cent.
shipped since 1914. The Vermilion
range of Minnesota began shipping
the same year and is fifth in impor-
lance, with 20, 73S, 250 tons to its Gre
dit, or S.5 per cent. The Michipoco-
ten began shipping in 1900 and has
shipped 1914 ,645 tons, or O.3 per cent.
From present prospects the Mesaba
range will this year take the
lead and keep it as not only the
heaviest shipper Of the group of Lake
Superior ranges, but as the one that
has shipped the greatest total. In
twelve shipping seasons. beginning
with single cargo in 1893, the
Mesaba will by December next have
shipped more ore than. the famous
Marquette range in .fifty-four years.

White Iron Lake Ore.

Mondays News Tribune brought
encouraging reports OF the explora-
tions being conducted by the White
Iron Lake Iron company. So far we
have been unable to verify the report
but sincerely hope the same is true.
The Tribune says in part:
1.-The showing was such that the
drill men felt warranted in putting
down another holein the same locality
and a sharper angle. 1t was ac-
cordingly put down at an angle Of As
degrees and now it is said that the
dill has penetrated body Of ore to
the extent OF 100 feet and the drill is
still bedded in ore. 1t is considered
certain that the Murray claim con-
tains an iron mine of sizeable extent
at least, and the owner Of it Is sure OF
q large return.
