More Ore to be Found.

Following a trip of inspection to
the proposed sites for steel plant on
the st. Louis river, the members of
the committee of experts who were In
Duluth for the purpose of selecting a
site for the steel plant. were enter
tanned at banquet at the CONNER
cial club, to which about 60 guests
were invited.
Thomas f. Cole, president of the
Oliver Iron Mining company, in re-
spending to toast, declared:
81 visited the Steel corporations
plant at Gary last week. 1 want to
tell you that a steel plant is ire
mendous thing, and it will be better
aud more generally understood here
when we get fairly started on the
shores of the st. Louis river. Nature
has done much for Duluth. The ore
deposits of tie state have, in my esti-
nation, not yet all been discovered,
and am sure there are great reserves
yet TO be disclosed. Duluth will be a
good distributing point. We can dis
tribute almost as well here as from
Chicago. We believe in the North
west as we'll as the Southwest and I
hope that we shall yet have reciprocal
relations which will enable US to 90
into Canada and find no barrier.
1.-THE officials of the Steel corpora
tion are always ready to listen to any
just request on the part Of any COM
munity in which it is interested.
There is no place that they have met
more friendly faces than in Duluth"

when the current is on; the city has a
meter for that purpose.
All the new meters we are putting
in read direct in kilowatt hours and
each consumer can read his own meter
by multiplying the divisions by eight,
thus:-1st division on lst dial equals
l XIV. hour or cents: I'd division on
lst dial equals k. W. hours or Ice.
and so on around, or in other words
each division on lst dial equals SC;
each division on I'd dial equals SOC;
each division on Sd dial equals $500;
each division on 4th dial equals 5000
By the first dial we mean the dial on
the right hand side when you stand
facing the meter.
Meters after being installed are
sealed on the terminal block and all
parties are warned not to break a seal
or tamper with any wire or wires
leading to or from the meter, as the
city has an ordinance to that effect
with penalty attached.
