Archie NJ Qhisholm and Edward Lynch the
Harties Making the Deal.
Terms and Figures Not Made Public as Yet
Work to Begin.

For some time it, has been known
that several partieswere after lease
of Section 30, but not until Wednes-
day did the runlors become reality
and A. NJ. Chlsholm and Elw. Lynch
of Duluth are the gentlemen who Sc
cured this famous property from the
fee owners.
Mr.. Chisholm andDtherS interested
were in the city Tuesday and left
Wednesday morning for Duluth but
not until after leaving word that the
property had been Secured by them
and that party wqtld be up early
next week to makekdetinite arrange
ments for the beginning of work tend
ing towards tue mi ng of ore and of
opening up mine.

ern interests. was U in his special Car
Tuesday and togetfkr with the others
went out to the property. The pres
ence of Mr.. PhilbinNn the city and
his prominent connEtion with the G.
n. has led to considerable conjecture
and hopes of the Ultimate advent of
this road to the Veknilion range are
freely expressed. Al
In view Of prospects, options on this
range are at presenk Eat Il heavy prem
ium. Considerable4ctivity has been
experienced in landSwest of Ely for
several weeks and t Hose east have also
come into prominefee. At any rate
the forerulner of kvival in Vermil-
ion lands has arriv land many are
awaiting chance get in on the
ground floor.
So far nothing nbfe definite than
that. the lease has lee talxen can be
announced and unta kle inside infor-
nation is made public nothing more
will be known. The larger part of
the negotiations were privately made
and when the newspaper man by dint
of perseverance had accumulated a lit
tie mining news that might create
sensation, he was asked to say moth
ing and in consequence the various
deals hereabouts have not been men
toned.
The Section 30 property came into
strong hands when Messrs. Chishol m
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1905-09-22

and Lynch leased the same. Mr..
Chisholm has been prominently iden-
titled with the Minnesota mining
fields for many years and during that
time has made warm business friends
of those with whom he came in
contact His word is not questioned
aud his backing is unlimited. When
he said work would be done on 80, lie
meant it.
The Section 80 property has his
tory that reads like romance. 1t
was in litigation for seventeen years
before Frank Eaton, Lon Merritt, r.
Ii. Fdgan. Of Duluth and George
Ions tori of Milwaukee were declared
by the highest tribunal in the land to
| be the owners The Clergues of
Sault st. Marie then secured an
option for Il lease Of the property, but
were later obliged to relinquish it by
reason Of the financial embarrass-
ments that their large enterprises ex-
perenced at the Sault. The fee own
ers then gave an option on the proper
ty to one Of their own number. George
Lonstorf of Milwaukee, and the de-
yelopment work has continued since.
The fee owners also come in for
their share Of the praise being passed
around. In the face of almost I'M
surmountable obstacles they have
labored on in the consciousness that
someth ing would come of their work.
They have succeeded and to their un-
firing energy is due the successful
elimination of their hard labor.
Knockers for this range have been
many, the Pioneer, Zenith, Savoy and
Sibley Al Having received their
share of attention on the part of
the knockers. The saying that every
knock is a boost is being forcibly
brought home. John G.. Brown, who
worked out the salvation of the Sibley
and Savoy and to the Section 80 men
is much credit due for not having
been scared away by the paid knocker.
The Vermilion range will be it very
shortly. We have mines that are
mines, ore that is ore and prospects
that are almost mines. Watch us
grow.

SUNDAYS SPORTS
Winton Wins from Ely in the Ball
Game.

The ball game between Winton and
Ely on the home grounds Sunday for
the S25 purse put up by the Fourth of
July committee was immensely en-
joyed by all who attended. The game
was well played at majority of in
stances although several times it
looked as If the game would become a
poor exhibition.
Jos. Seraphine and Guy Woodland
held the points for the Winton boys
and Ike Cox and Iver Visited did the
same for Ely. j. c. McGreeyy did the
umpiring and not a. kick was 1egist-
cred on his decisions from either side.
The following was the lineup of
teams and is practically the same
team that was defeated here two
weeks ago by the Ely boys:

After the ball game the tugs of
war were to be pulled for purses of
$40. Winton had no team on the
ground and P. Bergleen and j. Bed
ford were authorized to choose a
team from among the spectators. In
the pull the team championed by Bed
ford won. Some dispute arose among
the teams as to having to pull twice
to decide, the teams to change ends
on the rope. This was not done and
no money was paid over. The pull
between the Films and Austrians did
not materialize as there were not
enough of either side on The grounds.
There is still Fourth of July money
