Rich in Ore.

Faribault-Since the discovery Of
iron ore on the farms of E. J. Leary
and George Marks, south of this city,
experts have been assaying and in
vestigating to learn the extent of the
deposits. Samples taken from the sur
face and tested show 80 to IS per cent
metal, and it is thought by the ex-
perts that there are even greater
values below.
The ore was discovered on the Leary
farm because of the frequency with
which lightning struck in that neigh.
sborhood. Mr.. Leary procured mag
netic needle and started prospecting,
which ended in the finding of ore
known as brown hematite. Shortly
after he and his family located black
magnetic ore.

The Los Angeles aqueduct board is
arranging details for the materlal

comprehensive manner to get the
highest efficiency and to make the
employees contented at their distant
points of operations.
One of the plans is to see that aque-
duct supplies of all kinds can be pro-
cured. 1t is the boards opinion that
the aqueduct should as far as possi-
BILE avoid conducting merchandise
stores for the purpose of selling to the
employees and, If possible, to so ar
range with merchants who are in the
near vicinity of the different camps to
conduct such stores.
AS an inducement toward this end
the merchant with whom such ar
rangement Is made will be protected
on the aqueduct pay roll for goods sold
to city employees.

general way at yesterdays meeting 1t

NEW YORK, April 14-Rather than
have the collection of paintings sent

has arranged to have the paintings re-
turned to Russia. This is the reason
why the collection has been suddenly

they remained. When the time came
for their removal or the payment of

vertised to be sold.
Everything was ready for their sale
when suddenly an order was received
from Washington ordering their re-
moval from the sale list and their i'm
mediate expectation. This process does
not require the payment Of duty and
they are to leave the country.
The paintings are estimated by the
customs officials to be worth at least

three members to be selected, one each
by the chamber of commerce, the Mer-
chants and Manufacturers association

These nominations are to be con-
firmed by the council, which will also
appropriate a sum sufficient for the ex-
penses.
