FORCES REMAIN STATIONERY AND
NO HASTE TO CHANGE
ORE SHIPMENTS ABOUT JUNE |
StockpiIes Have Grown to Large Proper
tlons and Speculation Is Rife a, to
Their Bring Shipped

AS far as progress goes there Is moth
ing to report from the local mines.
The forces remain just where they
were put at by the.last shake-out and
there is no apparent disposition 10 eth
or increase or diminish them. The
stockpiles have all grown TO large pro-
portions. The piles-at the Great West
ern. Tobin and Dunn hold fully as
much II not more ore than they did
last year They grew very fast during
the early part of the season but recent
ly the additions to them have been
small.
The pile at the Bristol is not as lalge
as last year, due to the geater cut-down
in force earlier in the winter
The burning question is will these
piles be- shippedY That will depend
great deal upon the turn affairs take
later in the year and the proportion OF
ore that will he shipped from the
Mesabi range.
AIoF hoh o-o bhauui1 IcuuSluB tne
estimate Of ore to be shipped the com
ing season and 20, 600, 600 tons is the
greatest favorite at the present time
II is doubtful II any shipments TO
speak of will be made until June /.
The shippers are in no hurry TO send
ore down, the buyers shave plenty in
stock on the lower docks and the lat
est information from the boat owners
seems TO point to a dead lock between
the vessel owners and the seamen.
This. seems to.be very good opportun-
ity for these two interests to settle
their grievances and IL looks as If the
storm Is brewing. It can't come at
more opportune time.
How will this affect Crystal Fallsg
The general opinion seems to be
that it will not have much bearing.
The mine owners recognize the fact

Saturday came into the Office TO wait
for his chum to finish his work. Some
instruction ballots were being run off
by Sepel and while waiting for him to
finish his work the Strand boy loitered
about the press which was being oper-
ated without the power
In some unexplainable mannerStrand
took hold Of the side rod running from
the big gear disk to the back platten
and had his hand drawn into the cogs
between the rod and disc. There is
but about an inch Of clearance and
how he got his hand in the opening is
a mystery
The two boys were alone in that part
Of the Office as the work was about
completed and the foreman. Mr.. Yates,
was washing mp for the day. John
Sepel yelled the alarm and Mr.. Yates
rushed over and released the hand
which was mangled beyond descrip

Not murmur arose from the lips OF
the sufferer. He calmly waited while

The result was known early In the
evening and there was great rejoicing
by the supporters of the Citizens ticket
which was participated in by many OF
those on the Taxpayers side also. The
band was brought outand paraded the
