DRILL FOR IRON ON CEDAR LAKE LANDS
Bright Prospect for Winners IN litiga.
ton Over Disputed Territory.

The work of drilling the famous
Cedar Lake lands on the Mesaba
range has begun on the south side
of that body of water. Six drills
have been put at work and it is said
that the Steel corporation has the
option on land which is now being
explored and which includes be-
tween 500 and 600 acres.
The owners of this land have re-
ceived their patents and the other
territory which was embraced in
the same litigation for so many
years is also believed to contain
iron.
1t is expected that eventually all
of the 200 acres so long in dispute
and lying around the lake will be
explored for iron. The land lies
close to Sparta and not far from the
Fayal and other well-known iron
mines.
1t is said that there is no doubt
that the land contains iron ore of
commercial value. All that is to
be determined is how much there
is of it. 1t is more than probable
that the settlers who have contested
for so many years in the courts
with success will enjoy wealth in
the end for their persistence.

COMMERCIAL CLUB MAKES nEADWAY.
UnquestionabIy and lrrevocably Set.
ties the Perp'exinq Question of
Federal Building Site.

Fully fifty people, not all mem.
bers OF the Commercial Club with
it's roll of upwards of one hundred
were present at the meeting of tina,
body Wednesday evening, when
Congressman Bede was an attend.
ant aud when the consideration OF
sites available for federal building
purposes was advertised in the call
for the meeting as the special order
of business before the body.
Congressman Bede in few re.
marks in which he exhibited no
preference for the various sites
mentioned, advised the selection OF
site of sufficient proportions to
permit of extensions to the building
at later date should occasion de.
mand, and complilnented VIRGINIA
on her growth as evidenced by the
postal records, this city standing
third in the matter of postal re.
ceipts of all the cities in the dis.
trict, the two ahead being Duluth
and Hibbing.
OF those present vote showed
twenty-five as favorab BILE to the site
opposite the Roosevelt building on
Central, while twe,ty-three favored
the location OF the building on the
corner opposite the Central school
building and four stood up for the
site which appeals to many of the
business MEN of the city--the vacant
lots at the northwest corner OF
Chestnut and Centrh al.
The vote as thus 1ecorded did not
tally with preference of the people
interviewed by thess esseommittee some
two weeks ago, but inasmuch as
the post office insp pector will have
the say when it comes to making a
decision we fail to see that it did
any harm to gam an expression OF
those present in this manner. In
making the select bn of the site
however, the inspector will not
have his judgns4t cramped by
owning a vacant 4,ere or . home
plot there, but wiSI'i,ave the accom-.
modation of the most people in
mind, and it is generally admitted
that the corner opposite the Fay
will have the preference in the final
inning.
Congressman Bede in his remarks
advised the body that fee simple
title was required by the govern
nent, and the matter of trying tC
have the mineral reserve eliminated
from the deed of any property Sc
cured will be looked after by the
Club. 1nasmuch as the mineral
right reservation is made on all
land on the ranges this matter ma>
prove difficult obstacle, but it is
hoped that it may not become Z
barrier to our promised improve
ment.

CONDEMN BOARD WALKS on CHESTNUT
City Council Decides to Have All Walks
on the Main Thorouqhfare
OF Cement.

AT the meeting of the city counc
Tuesday evening that body took
definite action on the proposition
for the improvement of Chestnut
street walks, passing a resolution
condemning all board walks re-
naming on the street and ordering
the construction of cement walks in
place thereof. This act will
affect about one-half the frontage
on the street, and when complete
in connection with the pavement of
of the thoroughfare, Chestnut street
will present one of the finest appear
ances of any business street in nor
thern Minnesota.
The council have also decided
that in the residence portions of the
city they will construct cement
cross-walks at any time the property
owners of block construct cement
walk along their frontage.
: The matter of the breakage OF
the ordinance providing fire limits
through the erection of numerous
frame buildings larger than the
prescribed size, was brought up
and numerous citations made of the
disregard of its provisions, and the
city attorney was instructed to
forthwith cause notice to be served
upon the violators to remove the
buildings.
The council also decided to pur-
chase a road roller for the use of
the street commissioner in the re.
pair of streets, and the purchase of
street sweeper for Chestnut street
was also authorized. This last item
is an important one not only to
property owners and storekeepers.
but to pedestrians as we'll, the wood
block paving on the streets having
made of the thoroughfare partic-
ularly dirty and dusty street.
An ordinance providing a speed
limit for automobiles and other We
hicles on certain streets in city linn
its passed its first reading, as also
did an ordinance providing for the
licensing of theatres, shows, street
fakirs and similar outfits.
