BEGIN EXPLORING
Diamond Drill Now WORKING on
Roy and LaChance Lands.

The company which recently secured
exploration options on the Roy and
LaChance lands have started work,
one diamond drill having been taken
in Tuesday and it will be set up and
ready to begin drilling this week says
the Tower News. It is understood
that tue company has also made ar
engagements with Cole 4 Mcdonald,
who own the machines, to put in two
more drills at once as it is their in
tention to rush the work as rapidly
as possible.
Prominent among those who have
secured the option ON these lands are
y. G. Gilchrist, of Cleveland, of the
Gilchrist line of boats; Patrick Guilt
gan, of Alpena. Mich; Andrew Gowan,
G. Twohy, Daniel Haley, Thomas Kel-
line, p. A. Smith and George Gamble,
of Duluth. The lands to be explored
are tfescTfUed as TifeTfwfUf Sectfou-
thee4 of the net and net of sci of Sec
tion 4-61-15 and are located less than
two miles east of this city. The terms
of the lease are As cents royalty per
ton and minimum output of 10000
tons per year.
Some exploration work has previous
ly been done on the Roy claim and al
though iron was found the extent of
the deposit has never been deter
mined. Now, however, it is Intended
to drill both properties thoroughly
and those who are in position to
know do not hesitate to prophecy that
a big mine will be opened up there at
an early date.

Child Labor Law Violated.

fragrant violation of the Minnesota
labor laws by some of the school offic-
ers of the state. as well as by many
parents of children, is charged in a
special report of Labor Commissioners
w. Fl. Williams filed with Governor
John A. Johnson Monday.
1t is charged that in some cities
permits to work have been granted by
school authorities to children under 16
years of age in direct violation of law
and that in some instances such ex-
cuses as the statement that the child
did not like to 60 to school have been
accepted.
As an illustration that employment
permits have been issued in wholesale
quantities, Mr.. Williams has collect
ed statistics to show that while in
1904 only no children under Is years
of age were found by factory inspect
ors at work during school hours, there
were 1,725 employment permits issued
in the school year of l904-5. This, Mr..
Williams contends, shows either that
there has been a remarkable increase
in child labor during the last year or
that more permits were issued in 1904
and previous years than appear in the
records.
ThG4 port shows that 1856 permits
were issued to children under 16 in
Duluth in 1905 as compared with 100
found at work in factories in 1904

The New Iron RANGE.

John L. Morrison writing to the
Herald of the Guyana iron range just
discovered near Deerwood, says the
following:
"If the present pace is kept up, the
Guyana iron range will soon be en-.
veloped in boom that will beat any
thing in Northern Minnesota since
the wild Mesaba days a decade and
half ago.
"The woods are fairly swarming
with dip needle artists. Options and
fees are being eagerly sought at prices
that would have been considered signs
of insanity on the part of the buyer
year and less ago. The old farmers show
an excitement almost on a par with a
stampede of Texas steers on Western
range, and their prices and terms will
be almost prohibitiye if they do not
cool down soon.
Fright here in Deerwoood it is al
most impossible to get hotel accomo-
dations. Rooms are engaged In ad-
vance and many nights dozen guests
have to put up with cots and shake
downs on the floor. Even town lots
are advancing and several were sold
recently to those who expect the viii
lage to become the headquarters of
the range.
"Out at Brainard interest is stand
ing on tip toe, as it were, and some
even entertain fears that SO much
iron will be found as to destroy its
commercial value.
"In Minneapolis, spectators and
those who desires to get rich quick
are neglecting the bucket shops and
Investigating the Guyana iron range.

but some OF the early birds i'm the

gets through the door and into the
real performance, it will have to pay a
handsome admission fee.
