1000 tons less than the Ely smelter
will handle. This ore comes from the
mines of the Anaconda, Parrot, Tren-
ton, Washoe, Butte & Boston, North
Butte, East Butte, Red Metals and
Pittsburg & Montana and as about so
per cent. of this ore carries less than
6 per cent. copper, it is sent to the
concentrator
In less than three and half years,
the smeler has treated ore valued at
S1O4, 316, 089. This will give some hint
of what the Ely smeter will do.
During the three and half yens,
the total cost of operating the smelter
was $26, 100, 986, of which $7,007, ,324
was spent for labor; S4, 293, 455 for coal;
S4,Ol2, coo for coke, S740,047 for lime
rock used in smelling; 81, ,316, 020 for
machinery; $53,S96 for lumber; and
81, 4SO, 813 for railroad rates.
The Washoe smelter is about twenty
miles from Butte and fiourishing city
of $4,000 inhabitants, Anaconda, has
grown up around it.
AS the Ely smelter will disburse as
much, or more, it will support popu-
lation as large or larger.

F. G.. Horton left this morning
for Big Falls, to get a large bull
moose which he shot during the
open season, in a swamp about
ten miles from the "Falls."
Owing to the fact that the
swamps did not freeze, it was i'm
possible for Mr.. Horton to. get
the moose outand ship it to Be-
midi and he applied to the local
game warden for permit to
ship the moose when the swamp
had frozen so that it could be
taken out. The matter was taken
up with Sam F. Fullerton, excel.
tive agent of the State Game and
Fish Commission, and on recon-
mendation of the Bemidji warden,
Mr.. Horton was given g. permit
to ship the moose, and he expects
to have the animal here next
Saturday.

RED LAKE INDIANS MAY
PROFIT BY SALE OF PINE
CONGRESSMAN SteenersOn Introduces
Bill Providing for Sale
of Timber.

According to a Washington
dispatch printed in a Duluth
paper, there is a probability that
the Red Lake Indians will realize
a large sum. in the not distant
future, from the sale of consider
able pine on the diminished Red
Lake reservation. The dispatch
says:
Congressman Steenerson today
introduced an important bill pro-
viding for the sale of a vast
amount of Red Lake pine timber
belonging to Indians.
Mr.. Steenerson says that now
is the most favorable time to sell
timber in bulk when it is bring
ing a very high price. His bill
provides for the sealed bid and
bark scale provision which
worked so we'll and was of so
much financial benefit to Chip
pewa Indians.
A provision of the bill sets
forth that not less than $11 per
thousand for Norway pine and SO
per thousand for white pine shall
be offered. It is believed at the
Indian office that SIS will be bid
on the Norway pine.

I. J. MILLER SPEARS A
FIFTEEN-P0UND P|CKEREL
Monster Fish Secured Through Hole
in the Ice in Lake
Bemidji.

Bemidji has for many years
enjoyed the distinction of being
one of the best resorts for fish
ing in the north half of the state.
This has been especially true as
to the summer months.
That the chill winter winds,
with eighteen inches of ice on the
lake, are no detriment to the
Bemidji fisherman, was amply
demonstrated last Saturday,
when T. J. Miller secured a
fifteen pound pickerel from the
lake. T. J. had put his fish house
on the lake in the forenoon, and
after dinner decided to 60 down
and try his luck. He sat in the
house about fifteen minutes,
when monster pickerel made a
grab at his decoy minnow. Miller
hurled his spear and caught the
fish IN the middle of the back.
He brought it to the surface and
took it up town to a pair of scales,
where it was found to weigh
fifteen pounds.
A photo has been taken of the
pickerel, in order that skeptics
may have prima facie evidence of
the size of the catch.

BEMIDJI HANDLE FACTORY
CLOSES SUCCESSFUL YEAR
Reorganized Company Has Increased
Business 100 Per Cent Over
Last Year.

The Bemidji Handle Factory
company has just closed the first
year since the reorganization of
the company, and the past twelve
months have been very good
ones for the company from a
business standpoint.
The company was reorganized
December 8, 1905, by W. l..
Brooks, William Burse and A. M,
Bagley. Mr.. Bagley was placed
in active charge of the business
of the company. The handle
factory at that time was a primi-
tive affair, but there was a
healthy demand for the product
of the plant. Mr.. Bagley at once
began installing new machinery
aud has continued to put in new
outfits from time to time all year,
with the result that the capacity
and business of the factory has
been increased fully 100 per cent
during the year. The old ma
chinery has almost entirely been
replaced.
The company decided to move
to more commodious and desir-
able quarters and secured a loca-
tion in Carson's s addition, on Park
avenue, on the south side of the
G.. N. tracks, where a modern
plant is now in operation.
The company has been deluged
with business during the past
five months, and it has been un-
necessary to expend acy sum in
soliciting trade, orders being re-
ceived without any effort. The
railway panies are using the
Bemidji handles to a large extent
and much of the business is from
them. 49,
The factory was closed for two
days last week. owing to inabil-
ity to get the soaksused in making
the handles. However, there is
relief from this now and the fac.
tory will resume running.
