Iron in Crow Wing.

There is strong evidence that IN
important iron range may exist IN
Crow Wing county. This is not based
on the fact that explorations have been
in progress q couple Of years, or that
the explorers claim TO have discovered
important deposits OF ore, but the sig
nificant fact that some of the big iron
mining operators are beginning to give
the district their attention.
The firm of Pickands, Mather Il Co. !,
one of the large independent mining
and furnace concerns of the United
States, has taken options on properties
on the Guyana range in Crow Wing
county and will drill the ground. The

E$, Pacific in Tone.
st. Petersburg, Jan. 26.-Contrary to
expecta ton, the first move Of the newly
appointed governor general Of st. Pc
tersburg is pacific in character. It takes
the form of a proclamation, signed BY
Gov. Gen. Trepoff and Minister Of FL
nance Kokovseff, which reveals the gov
ernment's plans for breaking the strike,
not only here, but throughout Russia.
The proclamation is conceived in pa
ternal tone, and tells the strikers that
they have been led into trouble by evil
disposed persons, and that their best in
terests will be served by peaceful repre-
sensations to the government. The
workmen are also assured that the en-
peror has ordered the framing of certain
laws for their benefit and the creation Of
a system of state insurance that will
protect the m from want in case. Of sick
ness or disability. It invites them to re-,
turn to work, promising, them, In the
emperor's name, q revision Of the gen.
eral law so as to restrict the hours of
labor, the institution Of plan for state
insurance, and otherwise to meet their
demands, as, far, as. the law. will permit.
and guarantees them protection against
interference by: agitators. This docu-
ment will be followed either by an i'm
perial manifesto along the same lines,
in. the hope of preventing the spread of
the strike, or by specific proclamations
by the local authorities wherever strikes
are in progress -

to make up for the three or four months
