NEW BUILDING OUTLINED STATE WINS IRON LANDS
TRACT NEAR VIR-
GINA is DECLARED TO BE
SWAMP AND BELONGS TO THE
STATE.

State Auditor Iverson is greatly
pleased over the favorable decision
for the state in the swamp land case,
related in dispatches from Washing
ton yesterday. It gives the state a
tract of thirty-six acres, known as lot
1, section 6, township 5s1A, range II.
The land lies near Virginia and is
surrounded by valuable mines. It is
practically certain that the tract con-
tains some 100000 tons Of iron ore,
on which the states royalty will
amount to 100000.
Title to the tract was disputed by
Bradshaw and Smith, Wisconsin men,
who claimed it under forestry scrip.
1t had been classed as swamp by Sur
veyor General Warner, who was in
structed to review the case again. He
did so, and last June filed second
decision, again giving the land to the
state The claimants appealed to the
general land office and made a hard
fight. Wayne McVeagh, former attor-
ney general, was retained by the state
The final decision by w. A. Richards
general land commissioner, declare:
the tract to be swamp and the fee
! with the state of Minnesota.

ever did a proposition in geometry,
that he had not forgotten how to han
die the drumsticks in a way to quick
en- the pulse. The applause received
from the members of the post and OF
the citizens staff was proof that the
