Boys Guilty Of Serious Mischief.

Considerable excitement was stirred up
last week by some boys who let out the
water from the large reservoir east OF the
village on Wednesday night. Most Of the
families on Main street are supplied with
water from this source and all the hy-
drants scattered at intervals through the
village. The water failed to run on Fri
day morning. the families depending on
the supply in the pipes when the dis
covery was made that the large plug used
in the outlet had been forced out. The
town was without fire protection the en-
tire night Of the severe electrical storm.
a reward of 800 for the Identification
of the parties was offered by the select
men and Northfield water company and
through the efforts Of F. w Doane three
boys confessed their guilt and were taken
to Greenfield on Saturday morning
George Guyott. Willie O'Clair and Am
bert Cummings and after a hearing were
put under bonds TO appear at the court
last week. According to the boys
story they knew of some large trout that
had been put in the reservoir and so con-
ceived the idea Of letting out the water
to get the fish, not thinking Of the con-
sequences or Inconvenience to the public

The candidacy Of William II. Taft, Sec
retary Of war, for the Republican nomina-
ton for President was endorsed Tuesday
by the Republican state committee Of
Ohio by a vote Of Is to G. An attempt
was made 10 secure harmony by coupling
the endorsement with a declaration that
The Republicans Of Ohio are opposed to
the elimination from public life Of SEN
ators Foraker and Dick. The adherents
Of the two senators refused to accept this
olive branch EXTENDED by the Taft sup
porters and no attempt was made to
make the action Of the committee un-
animous. 1t is probable that the Ohio del
egation will be divided in the next ma
uoual convention, as Foraker will con-
tinue his fight and will be able to secure
some Of the district delegates. The Re-
publcans OF the fifth congressional dis
trct in Kentucky. who were supposed to
favor Fairbanks, surprised the Indiana
mans forces by an endorsement OF Taft
on Tuesday.

Expects to Do Som e thing.

Carlos Avery of Hutchinson, the
newly appointed chief game warden.
while in Duluth this week said that
Northern Minnesota will get more
fish fry of a choice kind this year
than ever before. At least 100,OOO
trout alone will be planted in the
various rivers and creeks in the north
ern section of the state, and Mr..
Avery says that they are of far better
and sturdier quality than have ever
been sent out before. He says they
are considerably larger. and more of
them will survive than is usually the
case.
Mr.. Avery also stated that more at
tention would be paid the big game
sections of Northern Minnesota. sit
is in Northern Minnesota where most
of the game remains" said Mr..
Avery, 'and it is in this section that
we want to preserve it. This is espec-
tally true of the deer and moose, as
the big game is absolutely extinct in
most of the middle and southern
parts of the state, whereas small
game still abounds there in some dis
tricts."

HIGH SCHOOL EXHIBIT.
Interesting to Parents and Patrons
of the Schools.

| On Friday, June Z, there will be an
exhibit at the High School building
of the work done during the past year
in manual training, domestic science
and drawing. The building will be
open to the public in the afternoon
from to 5, and in the evening from
1870 to 9, allowing the public to see
| the pupils at their actual class work
in the shops and domestic science.
The exhibit in mechanical drawing
comprises practice sheets in geomet-
rical problems, photographic projec-
tion, nuts and bolts and exercises in
the use of the drawing instruments.
Besides this there are sheets in both
mechanical and free hand lettering.
Mechanical drawing is only given
to boys in the High Schools, although
the principles are taught to the boys
in the seventh and eighth grades who
take woodwork. The elementary
woodwork done by the boys in the
grades includes such exercises as pic
ture frame, salt box, bread board,
knife box, letter rack, whisk broom
holder, sleeve board. book racks, waste
paper basket. match box, hat rack,
towel roller, bracket shelf, etc. In
these exercises the boys are taught
the use of the simple tools and they
are kept in practice with these tools
until they reach the High School,
when they take up jointerY and cab
met work. Among the work in the
High School are taborets, plate racks.
tables, chairs. china closets, pedestals,
foot stools and medicine cabinets.
Very little work has been done this
year in wood turning, except with
some of the boys who are more ad-
vanced through natural ability.
The course of study in the shop
begins with the seventh grade, and
simple exercises not involving the use
of difficult joints are given through
the eighth grade.
uS IISou ludu yCdt III OuC AAikh
School introduces jointery and cab
met making. Here the pupil is taught
most of the. practical joints used in
the manufacture OF furniture and
each boy is given chance to make at
least one piece of furniture.
In the sophomore year wood turning
is introduced, giving the pupil the
chance to handle high speed ma
chine without any danger and ena-
bling him to have confidence in him
self. In the latter half of the year
pattern-making is introduced, which
requires all the knowledge gained in
jointery and wood turning. In the
junior and senior year foundry and
machine shop practice and forging
are given.
A few years ago manual training
was in its infancy, but today every
school system in the country that can
afford it has industrial work in its
course. 1t gives the pupil something
to do that is interesting as well as
instructive.

new FOOD LAWS.
Commissioner Slater Issues Bull.
letin on New Measures.

Edward X. Slater, of the State
Dairy and Food commission, has is
sued the following bulletin for gen.
eral information of the public:
The recent legislation passed sew
eral laws and amendments to existing
laws which affect the manufacture
and sale of foods in this state.
The attention of parties interested
is called to the following new laws;
Chapter 1884 gives the commissioner
and his employees authority to seize
any unwholesome food or dairy pro-
ducts or in his or their discretion to
render the same unstable for use as
food.
Chapter 424 authorizes the commits
sioner to formulate rulings requiring
certain labels on food products for the
purpose Of securing uniformity be-
tween the food laws of this state and
the laws of the Federal government.
Chapter 455 provides for the inspec-
tion of canning factories and fixes a
grade for minnesota standard"
canned goods. 1t provides that an
Inspector of the department must be
present while the goods are being
packed. The expense of such inspec-
tion is to be borne by the Gamer.
Chapter 124 provides that all ice
cream manufactured and sold within
the state must contain not less than
IL per cent by weight of butter-fat,
and must not be colored to make the
article appear better than it really is.
The use OF all injurious ingredients
is prohibited in its manufacture.
Chapter 3S3 provides for the inspec-
Ition Of concentrated commercial feed
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1907-05-31

stuffs. This is the famous "stock
food bill" which caused so much dis
cussion during its consideration.
Chapter 421 is the new paint law
which requires that the true ingredi-
ents of all paints shall be plainly
printed on the labels of all paint
packages.
Amendments to the present laws
are as follows:
Chapter 535 prohibits the sale of
adulterated spices. Heretofore adul-
terated spices have been sold when
labeled mixture and Adulterated. -
Chapter 258 includes among the pro-
hibited ingredients in foodstuffs coal
tar dye and saccharin.
Chapter 337 amends the present
milk and cream license law so that
parties keeping not more than three
cows are exempted from the provis-
ions of the law. Heretofore the ex-
emption has been one COW.
Chapter 347 reduces the required
percentage of acetic acid in vinegar
from As per cent to 4. The latter is
the standard set by the federal au-
thOrities.
Under chapter 424 rulings will be
issued which will secure uniformity
between the label provisions of the
state and Federal laws. An article
labeled to comply with the Federal
pure food and drug act should be al
lowed on sale within the state with
out further label requirements pro-
vlded that it does not contain ingre-
dents specifically prohibited by our
state laws. Additional state require
ments only tend to confuse the manu-
facturer and adds to the cost of pro-
duction which must be borne by the
consumer without giving him added
protection.

Get Your Money Back.

According to new law enacted at
the last session of congress any set
tiers or others who have money de-
posted at the United States land
office in contest cases in which there
has been no cancellation or in the case
of communication proofs which have
been suspended. may obtain the same
by filing receipt with the receiver at
the land office. A circular explaining
the rulings of the department in the
new law has been received at the Du-
luth land office.

The air compressor has been placed
at the White Iron Lake Iron COM
pany's works on section 2. Another
big boiler will be installed shortly
after which the work of shaft sinking
will be much quickened. The shaft
is now down about Is feet and is going
down as fast as the limited facilities
will warrant. Two power drills are
running in the Shaft. The ground is
becoming more firm as depth is at
tanned, making the blasting more
effective. The shaft is two-com-
partment and ladder-way affair, well
timbered and substantially built. A
considerable crew is employed-under
the captaincy of Matt Agnich. Con-
siderable ore is being encountered in
the sinking of the shaft notwith-
standing the fact that the main body
is not to show until depth of 300
feet is attained.

Exploration by means of diamond
drills will soon begin on the Lockhart
property west of this city. Mr.. Semer
while here recently said thorough ex-
plorations would be made. By many
acquainted with the run of the range
1T is claimed ore in large quantities
should be found here, providing the
proper depth was attained. A body
of Eastern capitalists have secured
an option for lease on the property.
A. +. Benson, chief engineer for the
Republic Iron & Steel Co., made a
visit to the Vermilion range this
week. In company with Alois Ebmer
Of Duluth he visited Mr.. Ebmer's
lands at Armstrong lake and ex-
pressed himself as we'll pleased with
the indications of iron shown there
on. He also looked over other prop
cities in that vicinity. The mines
here and section 80 were visited by
Mr.. Benson. He was particularly
struck with the Shagawa mine at
Sellwood and said the company had
one of the richest properties on the
range.
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1907-05-31

Recent developments have proven
that ore on the Vermilion range must
be looked for at depth not hereto
fore attempted. The history of the
range has been to this effect at any
rate. Shaft sinking and drifting is
also the prime factor in the discovery
of ore on the VermiliOn.
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1907-05-31

A. M. Chisholm, Edw. Lynch, P. M.
Philbin and DR.. Connor came up Sat-
urday evening from Duluth and Su-
perior in a special Car and visited the
Shagawa mine at Sellwood, which the
gentlemen are working. "Notbing
better In the country and suits U.S.
is the way they expressed themselves
regarding the mite. To the stick to-
it policy of the gentlemen in the face
eff the most knocking" opposition
the Vermilion Isnge owes much.
Had the company dropped the work
when the most distressing difficulties
were encountered this range would
have received black eye which would
have been hard to overcome. The
mine at the Shagawa is an assured
fact and the largeness of the deposit
is now the only question. No sooner
had the fact of mine on 30 become
news than an impetus was given ex.
plorations on this range the effects OF
which cannot but prove beneficial.

Alois E5mer, who owns extensive
mineral bearing lands at Armstrong
lake, was on the range Tuesday on a
visit to his properties in company
with a mining engineer. Mr.. Ebmer
thinks some work will be done on h is
lands this summer.
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1907-05-31

The U. S. Steel company will soon
open up the old No. shaft at the
Soudan mine and sink the shaft to a
considerable depth, after which con-
nections will be made with No. s for
the purpose of getting at the recent
large find in Mo- s. 1t is expected
that two years time will be required
to properly get at the new find. We
understand that at present force of
200 men Is employed at the mines at
Soudan but that the new work will
require the doubling of the crews.
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1907-05-31

With 1.-The coming of summer
also come encouraging reports of
much exploratory work to be done on
the various prospects of the Vermil-
ion range. Between Ely and Tower
seems to be the principal location for
much of the work. 1t is reported
that the Iron Queen Mining company
will do much exploring by means of
test pits on lands located west of Ely,
the work to be In charge of Capt.
Franklin. Who composes the Iron
Queen company we have been unable
to learn.

DIDN'T GET HIS BENEFITS.
Edward A. Fay Sues District for
1920 and Interest

Suit was filed yesterday in the District
Supreme Court by Edward A. Fay.
through his attorneys. George c. Cert
man and John Ridout. against the Dis
trlct of Columbia, to recover 1920 and
interest.
Mr.. Fay in his declaration alleges that
he was, in July, 1865. the owner of lot IA,
block 8. Washington Heights, on which
date the District of Columbia, by con-
demnation proceedings. took the south
sixteen feet of his lot for alley purposes,
and the jury in that condemnation pro-
ceedins assessed the remainder of his lot
benefits to the extent o $500; that subse-
queEtly, and before the benefit of 1929
accrued to the remainder of his lot, and
before the alley was opened the District
of Columbia by condemnation proceed
ings, took the remainder of his lot for
the extension of Kaiorama road. thereby
preventing his property from enjoying
the benefit it should have enjoyed had
the alley been opened.
Mr.. Fay also alleges that the assess
ment of benefits was deducted by the
District Of Columbia from the amount al
lowed him damages. and h complains
that inasmuch his property never actu-
ally enjoyed the benefit the jury held it
would enjoy had the alley been opened he
should be reimbursed the $500 deducted
by the District for benefits.
