OLIVER IRON
MINING COMPANY

OF all the forms Of modern enter
prises, there is none the successful
carrying on of which adds more ma
terialy and permanently to the wealth
of the country than does that Of mining
In Its vast phases whether gold, silver
or the so-called baser metals. The
work of the farmers is necessary and
their products are needed to sustain
life. But the products OF the farm are
perishable in the extreme and by the
very nature Of things are soon con-
sumed and pass away, having served
their purpose. But the product Of the
mines are permanent additions to the
wealth of the world, and the gold, the
silver. the copper, the brass, the from
and the metal brought from the bowels
Of the earth are of so much added to
the permanent wealth of the country
1t has been truthfully said that
every man who makes two blades Of
grass grow where one grew before is a
blessing to his fellow men. The say
ing Is even more true Of the man who
brings from the earth permanent
wealth to be added to the wealth Of
the country. Especially is this true
when the men SO engaged are in favor
Of treating all with whom they have
business dealings, including their en-
ployes with the utmost fairness and
courtesy.
This is the case with the oliver Min
ing company, whose headquarters are
in the Wolvin building, in the city.
This company, which is one Of the
largest in the country, Is we'll known
n hn vt on1&
just in all It's dealings and the Officers
ar ever willing to do what they can
to assist in any movement for the
advancement of the commercial, in
dustrial or financial interests of our
city and the Northwest.
1t Is to the liberality and progress
siveness of such companies as the
oliver Mining company, that Duluth
owes her high standing in the opinion
of the country. and it is such companies
which give this city it's solid financial
standing. 1t is principle as we'll as
policy with all right thinking work.
1ngmen, we'll as all students of
political economy, to give their best
efforts In support Of a better UNDER
standing between the large employers
OF labor and the working men, know
ing that the real interests of both part
lies are so closely entertwine ed that what
is for the benefit of one is necessarily
for the benefit of the other. and in
pursuance of this principle it is g.
pleasure for the Labor World to speak
in the highest terms Of the Oliver
Mining company and its progressive
and liberal officers, knowing that this
h 1--we
let live policy, and has always fav-
ored conditions which would allow the
workfngmen in their employ a fair re-
turn for their labor
The officers of this company are
among the men who have brought sue
cess and prosperity and a high COM
mercial standing to this section of the
country, and who stand at the front
among the substantial men Of the
country.
These men are: T. F. Cole, presi-
dent; w. J. Olcott, vice-president; P.
Mitchell, general manager; j. H. Nc
Lean, assistant general manager; c.
D. Fraser, secretary; c. E. Scheide,
treasurer; Geo. D. Swift, assistant Sec
reary and assistant treasurer; w. M.
Jeffery, auditor; J. L. Mullin, assistant
auditor; Frank B. Kellogg, general
manager; Joseph B. Cotton, general
solicitor. @[@.s.. -
These men are too well known In
the company to need any comment
upon by this paper, and we are pleased
to see SO important an industry in such
capable and liberal hands. This city
would not be the great and rapidly
growing city It Is, nor would It enjoy.
