Yesterday the Missouri Iron Co..
put ten men at work at the iron
mines. There is considerable specu-
lation among our people as to what is
going on in mining affairs and we
have it on the best authority that the
work now under way is to ascertain
as to the quality of the ore and if
suitable for the purposes of the COM
pany the property will be transferred
to them on contract. The st. Louis
company has a number of mines and
are in search of grade of ore that
will mix with what they have. If
found to be what they are after there
will be something doing. Bert
Robbins, who knows all the ms and
outs of mines has charge of the men
and Bird Reid has been engaged to do
the drilling. that's all there is to it.

To Vote on New Court House.

The Board at their session last week
unanimously agreed to submit the
question of erecting new court house
TO the voters at the election next fall.
Reference to the matter i'll proceedings
ON the last page of this issue. The sup
ervisors find that there is very favor
able sentiment throughout the county
towards the proposition, and unless
there is more objection than has been
manifested they will take the neces-
sary steps at their June session to ar
range for vote on the question, issu-
ing stated amount of bonds with
which to provide means for the erec-
tion of the much needed structure.
The disposition is, we are told, to
limit the cost of the building to
$75, 600, bond the county for that sum
and pay off the bonds during the sue
ceeding ten years, or even twenty years
by the levying of an extra two or
three mill tax each year. BY that
arrangement not a tax payer in the
county will notice the slight increase
in his taxes each year, no more pos
sibly than the one mill road tax is
noticed at present, which is paid
annually by everyone. -Waukon DEM
