Dollar Bills BY WEIGHT.

"Dollar bills are worth almost their
weight In gold" bank president said
the other day to a depositor.
Yes. suppose they come In handy
for change and are easy to carry" the
depositor replied absently.
mo; | was speaking literally" the
bank president said. I'VE got into an
argument In the bank here the other
day as to how much a dollar bill
weighed. A twenty dollar gold piece
weighs $40 grains. We found that
twenty-seven crisp. new one dollar bills
weigh the same as a twenty dollar
gold piece. We tested some bills that
had been In use and found that 1t took
but twenty-six Of them to balance the
gold piece. ! suppose that twenty-six
used bills gather an accumulation Of
dirt in passing from hand to hand that
weighs about what one new bill does"

Use 40 Per Cent Ores.

Mining men on the Marquette
range are much interested in the
new blast furnace project to be
launched by John T. Jones, of Iron
Mountain. 1t is reported that Mr..
Jones has the backing of a number
of eastern capitalists. The plant,
which is to be located near Lake
Antoine, short distance from Iron
Mountain. and for which the founda-
ton has already been completed,
will manufacture wrought iron
direct from the ore, thus saving one
process. It is claimed that the new
process makes available the 80 and
40 per cent ores, now considered of
no particular commercial value. If
it does this it will open up practic-
ally unlimited iron ore field, as
there are many large deposits of
lean ores on both the Menominee
and Marquette ranges. Nearly the
entire Menominee range is one iron
ore Dody, put a large percentage OF
the mineral assays below 35 per
cent.
It is said that Mr.. Jones, who is a
mining man of many years. expert.
ence, and an authority in the min.
ing world, is enthusiastic over the
prospects of the new project. The
company which is backing him has
shown its faith in the enterprise by
securing options on practically all
the ore land on the Menominee
range now considered unmarked
able. The low grade Menominee
ores can be mined at very low
cost per ton, as much of the forma
tions carry but little overburden.

THE ENTERPRISES is pleased to
note by a perusal of the Blwabik
Times and Aurora News-more U.S.
ually referred to as the Eastern Me-
saba Twins-that "every paper on
the range with the exception of the
Hibbing Ore, the Eveleth News and
the Virginia Enterprise have pro-
nounced against blind pigs, and
placed the blame on the breweries." )"
And yet, despite the bucolic opin-
ion of the editor of the Twins
which opinion is commodity de-
void of value-it is pleasing to note
that none of the three papers signi-
fled as the supporters of the illicit
liquor traffic have been favored
with the advertising patronage of
the Duluth brewers, while many of
the press gang who are accredited
with opposing the brewery interests
have been favored with patronage.
The Fitger company, however, is
claimed by the Twins, in a leading
editorial, to have discontinued it's
support of those journals some ten
days since.

Relatives of Frank Massapust,
who was recently burned in his
shack on his homestead near Ash.
ava, contend that the man was
murdered and the shack fired to
conceal the evidences of crime.
Massapust was last seen alive at
about three o'clock on the day of
the fire, which occurred some two
hours later, and the relatives of the
unfortunate man believe that he
either committed suicide or was
murdered for his money.

widowers. They have formed a
club of their own for mutual solace

blondes and two lean, spare, care
worn gentlemen have already join
ed. together with sprinkling of
miscellaneous matrimonial debris
ranging from "fat and forty" to
selected high-browed specimens
with theories on how to he happy
though married. Unkind persons
have intimated that the rush of
widows for membership indicates
a deep-laid plot to again hornswog-
gle lone widowers, in troubulous
woes submerged, into second edi.
ton ventures in the marital maze.

blondes Immediately showed signs
of fight and no one has since had

SPLENDID ATTRACTION COMING

WEDNESDAY NIGHT

One Of the quaint comedies 50 popu-
lar and somewhat out Of the ordinary

Mr.. Lawrence Evart and company win
appear at the opera house on February
5th
The story Of I'VE Are King" is an
Impossible one, but it serves to intro
duce capable actor in the dual rcle
ct a real and imposter king, whose
temperaments are exactly opposite.
The plot is strongly woven, how.
ever, once the sophistry Of its found.
alton are passed by, ana where an in.
teresting love story is portrayed. The
plct is based chiefly upon the plumbers
that the substituted king, who ulti-
mately proves to be the real king Of
Kahnburg, makes in the exercise OF
his strangely and suddenly acquired
II gal power. This comedy is rather
broad at times for the character Of
the play. but it is always clean and
wholesome.
Mr.. Evart's transition from the sup
posedly real king to the supposedly
Iimposter and back again are RAPIDLY
made and are greatly facilitated hy
the use Of a monocle BY the straying
London correspondent. who has been
elevated TO the throne BY the plooting
of ministers against the brutal and
dissoiute Hector, the supposedly real
king.
The Raven, necl omancer, reveals
to the substituted king the fact that
he Is the real king Of Hamburg.
