THE ELECTION.
Another Election has Passed and
Officers are Chosen.

The annual election for officers to
serve the dear people for the coming
year took place on Tuesday and with
the close of the count on that evening
several political aspirations were
frosted while several others were
forced into full bloom.
The election was a warm affair and
during the entire campaign lasting
several weeks the political pot was on
the verge of boiling over, the larger
part of the fire being furnished by a
few who had nothing better to dc
than carry tales back and forth' be-
tween the various opposing candidates
and their friends.
The counting of the ballots on
Tuesday evening settled all the diff
ferences and we since: elg hope all will
turn to and help keep Ely within the
ranks of the best cities of this glorious
state. In a city of this size all should
be friends and work for the good of
the community. Differences Of opin-
ion as to the proper persons to trans
act official business, arise in all COM
munities, fact this country is noted
for. No other nation in the world
gives the man free speech and free
discussion of public events.
No doubt. the larger part of the
voters cast their ballots for the well
fare Of themselves and the community
in which they reside under the con-
ditions in which they saw things at
the time, Those who were mostly of
one opinion carried the election, and
those who lost were evidently mis-
taken.
The election passed off very quietly
and a large concourse of people were
on the streets all day.. The three
bands were out and livined things up
with music. and in the first ward in
particular steady stream of voters
kept the judges comfortably busy.
In this ward 3O3 votes were cast.
From the early morning the senti-
ments heard on the street plainly in
Dictated the election OF y, r. Vail as
mayor. The friends Of ". Weinzferi
conceded Mr.. Wallis election early.
What was expected to be very close
runs were not so close after all, viz:
the runs Of III. G. Kelly and Chas.
Grabowsky for treasurer and Judges
VanBlarcom and Ccsgroye for NUM-
cipal judge.
The votes cast in the various
wards were as follows with the eX-
ceptiOn of constable in which case it
seems every man in town secured one
or more votes for tlis position,
especially in the first ward:

Surveying Land.

After twelve years of legal compli-
cations and suspense, 1900 acres of
land surrounding Ely Lake. originally
described by surveyor as part of the
lake, are being mapped by United
States surveyors as public domain,
"Howe's meander line" circumscrib-
ing land containing 100000 feet OF
fine white pine, is being run from a
few posts set twenty-elght years ago
with the aid of notes (which the sur.
veyor filed at Washington.
e. L. Falson, who spent three
months Investigating the clrcum-
stances of the old survey, before MAX
ing move towards establishing the
line, in now engaged in blazing 1t
plainly and in putting up posts which
will forever determine its limits.
When trouble arose over the cutting
Of the timber on the strip, the courts
held that the fee of the surrounding
territory did not include the land be-
tween the false meander line and the
real border OF the lake. This was in
accordance with the practice OF the
United States in relying upon Its sur.
yeys. Hence the necessity of deter.
mining the line.

A Pleasant Evening.

The musicale and lunch given by
the M. E. church last Friday evening
was an enjoyable event. A well rem
dered program was given after which
all repaired to the basement where
lunch was served.
The program was opened by an or.
gan solo by the church organist, Miss
Cora Thomas, which was we'll played.
The choir, in their usual finished
manner, under the leadership of Prof.
Martin Prisk, gave an anthem. Miss
Beatrice Petherick, Rev. Saunderson
and Miss Bradley gave recitations in
their usual fine manner.
Michael Prisk and VIM. Tremewan
rendered solos, pleasing part of the
program. The violin solo by Fred
Reuther with F. L. Cowen as accom-
PIANIST was vociferously encored and
repetition followed. The Soprano
solos by Mrs. Martin Prisk and Miss
Ethel Tremewan were of the finest
and given in manner that left no
doubt of the ability of the singers.
John Prout gave bass solo and a: re-
petition was demanded. The pro-
gram closed with quartette In which
Miss Tremewan, Mr.. and Mrs. Martin
Prisk and VIM. Tremewan took part.
The affair was a.financial and musi-
cal success, the ladies netting some
thing like $50.

Much Stripping to Be Done.

Mesaba range stripping contractors
are getting ready for their season g,
work and are overhauling their machi-
merry, One firm will have eight large
powerful shovels at work day and
night, all the season through and
will employ about 1000 men. This
firm, the Drake & Stratton company,
has the Fayal contract for the ex-
tension of the stripped area, and will
work three or four shovels there. No
stripping will be carried on at the
Morris mine of the Oliver company,
a contract of which was let last year.
The work will be allowed to go, over.
until 1905. Mines on which extensive
stripping will be carried forward this
year are the Stevenson, Leetonia,
Leonard, Mahoning, Burt, Mountain
Fayal, Iriquois, Holland, Biwahik and
perhaps Stephens.
Some stripping is to be undertaken
on Michigan ranges, and it is evident
that many old mines will be in time,
operated by that process, method
that until recently was supposed suit
able for the Mesaba alone.-Vir-

Lost $4,000.

An Ironwood gentleman recently
sold his property for $3.50. Instead of
spending a dollar with the local
papers to inform the public that the
property was for sale he kept still and
sold it to friend for the above price.
The second party sold the property
few days later for $3.50. Nobody knew
the property was for sale, and if the
original owner had spent sLOO with
the local newspaper advertising the
same he could undoubtedly have sold
it for $3.50. How much did he lose?-
