Duluth, declares he has discovered
gold and silver on his claim which is
situated near the Seven Beavers lake,
a few miles from Skibo. He secured
the patent for his land about two
months ago. In searching for iron
ore, which he believed the land to con-
tain, he discovered some glistening
metal and at once took it to an as
sayer of this city. The ore, Mr.. La
VINCE declares, was tested and found
to be worth $3.50 a ton. The find
was made in the southern part of his
land and covers a stretch of many
acres. Mr.. Lavinge will leave for his
claim in a few days to make more
thorough search. If it is found that
there is enough Of the gold to make it
a paying proposition he will mill the
gold.
Elmer E. Chapman, Father Levings
and others of Princeton hold claims
within a mile or two of where this
metal is said to have been discovered.

Here is good story of the late Mr..

"Oh, yes" said Toole, there's one.

MARKS ENTERPRISE
Engages Excursion Train to Bring
Buyers to His Horse Sale in
Princeton on Saturday.
Large Number of People From Towns
On Great Northern Take Adj
vantage of Low Rates.

While the Marks excursion train
from st. Paul last Saturday brought
a great many people to the horse sale,
those who came to Princeton in bug
gles, wagons and other vehicles far
outnumbered them. The village
streets upon circus day scarcely pre-
sent a llvelier spectacle than did they
upon this occasion. Cowboys were
galloping here and there and thrones
of people occupied the sidewalks.
Many persons embraced the oppor-
tunity afforded by the cheap railroad
rates to visit Princeton for other pur-
poses than that of horse buying.
Some came to look over the village
and surrounding country while many
were here in behalf of their candidacy
for Office.
At Marks corrals, where the auc-
ton was conducted, great con-
course of horsemen, farmers and
others gathered, and the bidding
throughout the afternoon was spirited.
The highest prices ever reached for
horses at Princeton auction were
those which obtained on Saturday
and the sale was in every respect a
success.
The buyers at this sale and the
number of horses purchased are as

How John d. Rockefeller Robbed Him OF
His Valuable Holdings.
A contributor to daily paper from
Sault Ste Marie, Mich, gives the fol-
lowing story of the discoverer of the
Minnesota iron range:
Edgar Brown, discoverer of the
Mesaba and Vermillion ore ranges,
who died penniless in local hospital,
was buried recently at the expense
ella few old friends, leaving behind
him nothing but the memory Of his
kindness in the days of his prosperity
and the story of how John D. Rookie
Teller deprived him of the fortune
be found and developed, and gained
control OF the property which made
the United States Steel corporation
possible.
Liberal to the point of rrodigality
and SO kind that he was the prey of
all sorts of Adventures, Brown in
his declining years meyer regretted
cent he had given away or been
tricked out of, with the exception of
the coup by which the oil king de-
prived him of the ore ranges. He
never forgave that, and before the
cancer of the stomach which caused
his death became so serious as to con-
fine him to his bed he used to sit on
the bank of the river, wistfully watch
boat after boat Of the Steel corpora
TONS fleet laden with the richest ore
in the world pass through, and now
and then would tell some old friend
the story of how, but for Rockefeller,
he would have been the owner of that
great fleet and possibly head of the
greatest business combination the
world ever knew.
DR.. John N. Goltra, who attended
Brown in his last illness, who stuck
by him through thick and thin and in
whom, more than any man on earth,
Brown trusted, often listened to these
stories of what was and what might
have been, and is authority for the
recital of Browns career which fol-
lows:
Brown was born in Warren, Pa,
sixty-four years ago, and grew to
manhood in the district which at that
time was the center of the iron trade
of the United States. He had an i'm
aginative mind, and looking far into
the future foresaw the commanding
position which this metal was destined
to take. When the war broke out,
however, he gave up his business
career and enlisted, and before the
end of the struggle had been promoted
to the grade of second lieutenant for
bravery on the field of battle.
When the troops were mustered out
Brown made his way to NORTHERN
Michigan, where there had been
rumors of iron ore deposits, and de-
termined to find them. He associated
himself with c. c.. Merritt, and the
two tramped the great northern bar
rens until they located what afterward
proved the richest iron mines in the
country. Even after the ore was
found Brown was discouraged on
every hand by capitalists, who told
him that ore located out in the wilder
ness could not be made use of, but he
persevered until be finally interested

Strictly on Its Merits.

Without an effort on the part of it's
publisher the circulation of the
U nio n is constantly increasing, and
today it has larger bona fde list
of subscribers than any other paper
published in the Eighth congressional
district outside of the city of Duluth.
No one is importuned to subscribe for
the Union or to make use of it's ad-
vertising columns as a favor to it's
publisher. It is purely business
proposition. If the paper is not
worth one dollar per year do not
take it. If it's advertising space is
not worth the price charged do not
use it.. It is our aim to still further
increase the circulation of the u n on
strictly on it's merits as a newspaper,
and not through any fake voting con-
tests, thus rendering it's advertising
columns of still more value to those
who utilize them. The Union pro-
poses to give it's subscribers and ad-
vertisers their moneys worth, and
it also intends to continue to con-
tribute more than its share towards
the upbuilding of Princeton, Mile
Laos county and the Rum river val
ley.

 Until recently it was thought that
 pepsin was valuable in the treatment
 of stomach troubles, but it is now
 known that while pepsin aids in di- gesting meats. it has no effect upon starchy foods. such as potatoes. rice, bread. corn meal, etc. As the major ity of stomach troubles comes from
 indigestion of starchy foods. this makes pepsin absolutely useless in
 most eases.
