Frank Smith and Robert Burns re-
turned this week from an extended pros
pecting trip. In the n~eighborhood or
Cherry in White Pine county they made
a number of locations and obtained as
says that went as high as $3.50 in silver
and lead. They inspected some of the
old mines of this section and found
some good ones on which work is soon
to be started. James Riley of Cherry
has opened up what looks to be a mine
and is now driving a cross tunnel to cut
the dyke.

Contests Widows Claim.

WA. Hall, the local clothier, has
entered a contest against Mrs. Mary
Lahti, widow, for land in 62.17.
Mrs. Lahti is the widow of Gust
Lahti, the homesteader who was
killed in duel with a neighbor
about year ago. In preliminary
hearing of the case in Duluth a
week ago Mrs. Lahti submitted that
ehe had stock on the farm of a
neighbor, which required her atten-
tion to an extent, and that she had
not slept at her own home every
night. She also admitted to hav-
ing come to Virginia to work, that
she might earn the necessities of
life, but claimed to have put in and
harvested the required crops each
season.

RAISE ASSESSMENT TO sz5, ,ooo, 900.
taxable Value of St. Louis County
Mines Beinq Considered Today,

! In accordance with a resolution
passed at session of the county
board of equalization on Wednes-
day, the mining interests of the
county have been cited to appear
before the board today and show
cause why the assessment of mines
on the Vermilion and Mesaba range
should not be increased Is per cent
over the assessed valuation placed
on them two years ago..
Such raise in the assessment
would bring the total valuation
placed upon the mines to a figure
above $73,oO0yO00, a rapid increase,
the 1904 assessment being in round
figures $42,OOO,OO0, and the 1902 as
sessment $2OOOOOOO.
It is understood the mining COM
panies will acquiesce in a material
raise in valuation, but a passage of
a motion to raise the assessment to
the figure named will doubtless
bring forth heated argument.

Charles Carlson, of Hibbing, has
returned from Sturgeon lake after
Speeding week near Olander.
While there he spent considerable
time digging tor prehistoric Indian
relics and his search was rewarded
with one tempered copper spear,
heterogeneous of pottery and two
flint arrow heads.
MI. Carlson some time ago found
two or three perfect pieces of Indian
pottery on his claim near Oiander,
one. peculiarly shaped water
pitcher, handsomely marked and
evidently the result of much labor,
Th|e making of the pottery is now a
lost art among the Indians of this
region and discoveries of the
pottery are very rare.
Mr.. Carlsou's first discovery OF
these prehistoric relics was acci.
dental. Since then he has searched
and found lot of old stone and

WOULD PROTECT: CREDITORS.
)sdge Maet;o Appeals against License
Iraasfees bnth Bills Are Settled.

: At the meeting of the city council
Tuesday evening Judge J. NJ. Mar:
tin appeared before that body in
behalf of the Mesaba Cigar Co. pro-
testing against the transfer of Ii
qnor licenses. until such time as
the firms asking the transfer shall
have paid their creditors, if such
legislation could be had.
The cause of Mr.. Martins appeal
was an account owing the Mesaba
Cigar Company by. Scott & Conway,
who last week disposed of their bus
mess interests, put the junk in their
jeans, and forgot to pay several of
their bills.
No transfer of this license has yet
been asked, although it is stated
the business has been turned over
aud is now being conducted by their
successors.
Alderman Owens introduced an
ordinance providing for cement
walks on Chestnut street at any
time it be found necessary to Law or
repair walks on that thoroughfare.
A proper move.
A resolution was passed author.

plans and specifications for sewer

and Cedar streets, from Ohio ave.

is another of the lateral sewers that
once met the disapproval of Hiz.
zoner, and it will be interesting to
gamble on whether or not he can
change his mind.
The COW ordinance, drawn in &C.
cordance with the expressed ideas
of Cowslip Bill, will come up for its
third reading next Tuesday.
II is also anticipated that the Me.

;o@e Creosoted Block Paving figures

So@e Creosoted Block Paving Figures
A letter received from a. former
Chicago contractor by a Virginia
busineas man who is interested in
paying the freight on the proposed
improvement of Chestnut street, is
Of interest to the taxpayers of the
City just at this time, as it deals
with creosoted wood block pave
ment and the cost thereof.
The figures given by Mr.. Burling,
the writer of the epistle, do not in
Eclude mention of curb or cement
base, comparatively small item of
expense, the figures submitted be-
ing as follows: For creosoted wood
blocks, 55 cents per yard; paving
tar, 2112 gallons per yard, 25 cents;
laying blocks, Is cents per yard;
grading, Is cents per yard; total,
$1.10 per yard.
The area charged ble to each lot in
the Virginia paving contract is $50
square feet, or less than Is square
yards. The price for this work as
submitted and accepted by the city
council is $270.12 per lot, and it does
not take a college graduate to figure
out that there is an apparent differ
ence in the quoted prices, nor does
it require pessimist to wonder if
dollars grow on grated trees or if
the moon is made of green cheese.
/, In connection with the awarding
of the Virginia contract the fact is
not overlooked that the successful
bidder was p. Mcdonnell, who by
his own confession in suit entered
last week against Bowling Bros. at
Eveleth wasa party to a hold-up
game in the Eveleth water-works
contract, aud Virginia taxpayers
cannot bat wonder if they are up
against similar combine on the
paving deal.
Be it said, however, that none &C.
cuse Bowling Bros. of being in such
combine, if one exists, for if that
firm was implicated the utterancee
of the Eveleth Star would likely be
tempered by the jingle Of gold.

Mahoney Welded at Moorhead. !
At St. Joseph's church, Moorhead,
on Wednesday morning, August q,
occurred the marriage of James Ma
honey, of this city, and Miss Eliza
beth Colliton, daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. WilliamC Colliton, of Moorhead.
Both young people are we'll known
and popular in social circles in this
city, the bride for several years
teaching in our public schools,
while the groom has lived and
grown to manhood in our midst,
being a trusted .employe of the.
Oliver Mining Co. as cashier at the:
Higgins mine. 49,.
Mr.. and Mrs. Mahoney will be "At
Home" to their many friends at the
Higgins after September Is.
The Enterprise joins in extending
congratulations and best wishes to
the happy couple.
In speaking of the happy event
the Moorhead Daily News of Wed
nesday says:
"The marriage of Miss Elizabeth
Colliton, daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
William Colliton of this city, to Mr..
James Mahony of Virginia, Mimi,
was celebrated this morning at St..
Joseph's church. The bride was
attended by her sister, Miss May
Colliton, while Mr.. Dan Mahoney
acted as best man. Nuptial high
mass was celebrated by the Rev.
Father Charles, and after the words
had been spoken which made the
young people man and wife, the
wedding party repaired to the
home of the brides parents, where
a wedding breakfast was served to
company of twenty-five.
"The color scheme was in pink
and white. The bride was the re-
cipient of many beau tiful and costly
gifts. After the wedding breakfast
the bride and groom were driven to
the Northern Pacific station, where
they embarked upon Number 6, en-
route to Duluth. Mr.. and Mrs.
Mahoney will go down the lakes to
Buffalo, and upon their return will
Fbe at home at the Higgins imine,
Virginia. Miss Colliton's: friends
made things lively at the depot,
and there was no mistaking who
the bride and groom were. "
"Elizabeth Colliton is a graduate
of the Moorhead State Normal
school, and has taught in the
schools of the county. During the
past three years she has been con-
inected with the city schools of
Virginia. 1t was said of her while
she was employed in the Clay
county schools, that she was one of
the best teachers the county had
ever employed. She enjoys in a
marked degree the thoroug gh going
respect and esteem of Moorhead
people who will wish her God speed
on the journey of life.
"Mr. James Mahoney is an esti-
mable gentleman of Virginia, and
is head bookkeeper at the Oliver
and Higgins mines. He is said to
be thoroughly reliable and ener-
getic young business man, enjoying
the confidence of all with whom he
has been thrown in contact"
