men in this city have been offered
very liberal sums for their property
interests in northern Hubbard
county.
Word comes from Schoolcraft lake,
few miles south of Lake George, to
the effect that unknown parties have
unloaded a diamond drill at that
point and are starting to prospect
for ore. The movements of the
party are shrouded in the utmost
secrecy, and no strangers can get
any information as to exactly what
is being ascertained relative to
deposits of iron ore in that vicinity.
There are many rumors relative to
the finding of ore in northern HUB
bard county, some of which are
probably hoaxes. The fact remains,
however, that representatives of the
Steel Trust have been very active
during the past two weeks in attempt
ing to purchase land in the Lake
George country, which indicates
that ore deposits have been located
in that vicinity.

A verbal agreement had been

Cass Lake, manager of the Cass
Lake band, whereby that band,
composed of twenty pieces, will play
here on the Fourth. The contract
was signed and delivered into the
hands of the Cass Lake manager
last night, and the deal was closed
within a few hours.
The Cass Lake band will come

That representatives of the United
States Steel Trust have discovered
and traced the southern arm of Mes
seba iron range, and have located
the range in Hubbard county, south
of Bemidji, is almost an assured
fact, judging from the efforts being
made by parties from Duluth and St.
Paul to secure options on lands in
the vicinity of Lake George and La
porte, varying from ten to twenty
miles south of Bemidji.
For some time past there has been
a rumor to the effect that the
Steel Trust had representatives in
the field going over the country
thoroughly from Colraine and BoveY
in southerly and southwesterly
direction, attempting to locate the
south arm of the Messeba range,
which it is claimed, had been lost
track of somewhere in the vicinity
of Lake Pokegema.
