Neither pains nor expense are being
spared in making preparations for the
second annual meeting of the St.
Louis county fair, to be held in Hib-
bling on Friday, Saturday, Sunday and
Monday, September 20, 81. % and 3d.
A large amount of work has been
done on the race course this summer
and when the opening day of the fair
arrives the track will be one Of the
fastest in the state.
A large amphitheatre and other
buildings have been built at the
grounds during the past year and now
an exhibit building is to be erected
and will be in readiness before the
coming meet. Entries for the races
are already coming in in large num-
bers and exhibits are being prepared
by many residents of the county The
board of county commissioners has
made an appropriation of $500 to the
St. Louis County Agricultural Society
of Hibblng to be used in paying pre-
miums, and an appropriation for the
same purpose will be made 10y the
state, which, together with the
money in the treasury of the associa-
tion. will permit of the paying of lib
eral premiums and prizes. The man
agement is making strenuous effort
to make the fair grand success and
is receiving the support of the people
throughout the county. 1t is expect
ed that the agricultural exhibit Will
be one of the leading features at the
fair and every farmer in st. Louis
county should consider it his special
duty to contribute something to the
exhibit Mesaba Ore.

Wants Divorce.

Alleging that she is tired of sup
porting her husband Selma Osterberg
of Bull wants divorce from her hus-
band, Gustave Emmil Osterberg. The
petition was filed Monday with the
clerk of the district court by the
plaintiff.
The complaint states that the
couple were married June, 1891, and
that there are no children in the fam
lily. The plaintiff claims That her
husband contributed something to her
support when they were first married,
but not enough for her to live on.
Even this small amount was soon
stopped, and the wife was the bread.
winner of the family for several years.
She ran boarding house in this city,
and with the proceeds kept herself
and her husband in the good things OF
life.
Theeeeaple decided to take up a

and was secured near here. and dur
ing the time it was necessary to live
on 1t the husband did so, supported
by his wife. The plaintiff claims to
have furnished all of the funds re-
quired to prove up on the land, as well
as for all the provisions used by the
husband. She also claims to have
twice given the defendant money with
which to go to Oregon to secure a
stone and timber claim. The first
time, the plaintiff claims, that the
defendant got as far as Duluth, where
he spent the money, and when he was
broke he returned to Ely for more.
He was given second stake, and that
time made the trip successfully.
The plaintiff also claims that her
husband circulated reports about her
which were untrue, but which caused
her SO much worry that she finally left
Ely and went to Buhl to live. She is
at present running hotel in Bull.
In the complaint the plaintiff asks
that the court divide the property be-
tween the two in equal parts, except
that she asks for the hotel in Bull
She claims that this is her own, and
that her husband has not assisted in
any way in making it paying insti-
tuition.

Punched a Few.

The st. CroiX Lumber Company
brought crew of men to this city
Saturday, and they were at once taken
to the camps, about 30 miles from
town. The men all struck, and at
once made arrangements for return
ing, without going through the for
mality of paying their fare. Seven of
the party were arrested and brought
before the court Wednesday. Fines
were imposed. Some paid, others were
taken to Duluth to serve out their
time. About fifteen left on Wednes-
day mornings train, and it was
rumored that they would be held up

A Good Exhibit.

Word comes that the Stanislaus
County exhibit cars from California
which arrive here on the 1I:50 train
Friday Sept 6, are worth going TO see.
The cars are sent out by the board of
trade of Stanislaus county for the
purpose of advertising the advantages
of that locality and the small admis-
sion fee is charged to keep away those
not interested but who would fill the
room and annoy the people whom the
California folks are really anxious to
attract to their exhibition. The peO-
pie of Ely will do we'll to see the ex-
hibitS. One car is DEVOTED to the
products of the county while the
other car has the deep sea relics.

" IN AMERIcA

David Cooper. the South African
geologist, who discovered the new
Premier diamond mines in the
Transval, said on his visit to this
country ? year ago that the chances
of discovering diamonds, even when
they are known to exist within a
territory, is always remote. He
called attention to the fact that
though diamonds were found in the
Transval almost simultaneously with
the discovery OF the gems in Cape
Colony, il was not until 20 years
later, in 1896, that the first diamond
mine was discovered in the former
country, and this despite the fact
that thousands Of men familiar with
the conditions surrounding diamond
mines. were exploring the country at
all times. In fact, Mr.. Draper said
that although the same rock had
come in the way of many biologists
and diamond experts 1t vas not un-
til after he had identified the spec
linen submitted to him from the
Schiller farm that the first diamond
mine of the Transval was located.
Then, within a year, four other
mines were found in the same dis.
trlct.

HIGH GRADE

Contractors are busily engaged in
sinking the shaft on the Manhattan
High Grade property. At the pres
ent writing the hole has reached a
depth of over so feet. During the
progress of the work several veins
carrying good values have been cut
and the owners of the property feel
confident that most any day the I'M
covering of the Giant vein in the
High Grade shaft. Surely, there is
every reason to coincide with that
belief as the property adjoins the
Giant and the shaft is being sunk on
the trend Of the vein. which is open
ed up In the latter property.
The management states that the
shaft will be driven to a depth Of
zoo feet before any attention is de-
voted to either prosecuting or drift
ing. b. that time it is believed the
High Grade will have assumed its
position with the top-notchers.

WYOMING

While the week has seen but little
work done on the Wyoming-Search-

sure that a pay shoot has been en-
countered. Real developments are
not looked for until the crosscut is

a north crosscut from a drift to the
west on the 25-foot level. With the

CALIFORNIA;
COAL OUTPUT

The total production Of coal in
California during 1906 was 1850
short tons. valued at s3S2,725.
These figures are taken from the re-
port Of Mr.. E. W. Parker OF the
United States Geological Survey.
The principal feature of interest
connected with the production Of
coal in California has been the APP
parently successful efforts to utilize
the Ignite or sub-bituminous Goals
produced in the State in the man
f~aeture OF briquettes. During 1906
there were four Of these plants in
operation. One at Stockton, was OPP
Grated by the San Francisco and San
Joaquin Coal Company, which used
the Ignite or sub-bituminous coal
produced at the Eelsa mine owned
by the same company. Unfortunate
Is, this plant was entirely destroyed
by fire in November, 1905. and the
plans for its rebuilding, this time at
San Francisco, have been interrupt
ed By the earthquake and FIRE which
nearly destroyed that city in April
of the present year. Another plant
constructed in Oakland by the Wes-
tern Fuel Company upon designs
prepared by Mr.. Robert Schoor, OF
San Francisco. was put in operation
during the alter part Of the year.
The third plant, a small one, owned
by the Ajax Coal Company, of San
Francisco, was in operation during
most of the year, and the fourth,
! which was built at Antioch, was not
z completed until the latter part OF
the year. All of these plants were
constructed for the purpose OF using
the California lignites OF sub-bitum.
