Thief River Falls, June 4.-The novelty
of the government land sale is gradually
wearing off. Promptly at o'clock each
morning hundreds gather at the school
house steps, and at the close in the after
noon, whenever the eighty descriptions
have been offered, the crowd melts away
to reappear again the following morning.
The gamblers are getting slim picking,
and many of them are Disguised and
leaving. Thus far there has been no dis
order Of any kind. This is due to the
large number of special police officers
who were appointed by the mayor and to
secret service men dressed In citizen S

Duluth, Mimi, June 24-An the lake
ships engaged in ore traffic are moving
freely, summer schedules are on with
the ore-hauling railroads, all mines are
operating and the business of the year
in the Lake Superior mining region is In
full swing at last.
Practically every big mine of the U.
S. Steel corporation that is expected to
make important shipment this year is
sending ore to lake docks, steamshovels
are at work in the open pit mines and at
stockpiles of underground ones, men are
returning to work at mines that closed
temporarily on account Of a shortage of
fuel or Of stockpile room, or for any other
mere temporary cause, and the general
business situation in the region is fast
| resuming it's normal phase. There is no
question but the late opening Of nav
igation, because of the deadlock of mas
ters and shipowners, has lost the Lake
Superior region a vast sum of money,
but this will be forgotten in the activity
| that has suddenly come about.
| 1t is general opinion that shipments
| this year will be about 10000, 900 tons,
which is falling off of 100000 tons
from last year and still more from the
| season of 1902

Increase In Horsepower.


Reports recently made for private in
formation as to total horsepower in use
for mining in northern Minnesota, shows
the amount to be tremendous and to have
| increased wonderfully since eighteen
months ago. There are now $4,000 horse
power in hoisting, COMPRISING, tramming,
shovel and mine locomotive plants in the
state, all but about 5000 horsepower Of
which is on the Mesabi range. Eighteen
months ago there were but 80, 900 horse
power in the same districts and the in
crease was in the earlier twelve months
of this intervening period.
| Mining companies and contractors have
ninetyone steamshovels on the two
ranges, all but five Of which are on the
Mesabi. Of these a third are used for
| loading stockpiles and the rest for strip
| ing at open-pit mines. These figures are
far larger than had been supposed pos
sible and indicate the enormous develop
ment of mining and development work on
the Mesabi range. While all this power
is not constantly in use it is estimated
that the cost of power on these two ranges
is more than 100000 a year. Plans
are under way for change in the major
! ity of this power from steam to electric,
| through which a great saving will be eff
| fected.
| Two steamshovels are at work in the
Corrigan, Mckinney ore piles at Crystal
Falls and Tobin, both night and day,
and much ore is being loaded. The ore
from both mines is crushed before ship

The Oliver Iron Mining company has
completed the first half Of $150,OOO ore
