SATURDAYS GO
Griffin and Martin Bout a
Tame Affair

A fair sized crowd was present
at the Opera House Saturday even
ing to witness the 15-round glove
contest between Walter Griffin of
Duluth and kid" Martin of SUI
perior. Martin proved a1lhis name
implied and was strictly in the
kid" class.
The exhibition was fairly good
up to the fourth round when Mar
tin went down and out. Some OF
the spectators make the statement
that Martin laid down to Griffin
but in justice to the Superior boy
it must be said he did about as well
as possible considering the class
he got into.
As a preliminary to the main
event, which had only shade the
best of the preliminary, was the
four round exhibition given by
Marvin Trezona and Emmett Coffey
two high school boys.
Griffin is matched to meet Mike
O'Keefe in one of the range towns
this week and the affair promises
to be good one.

Michigan Forestry

A year or two ago a forest fire
ragged over considerable area and
destroyed no little standing timber
on the hills south of the village of
Munising, Alger county. Nowthe
burned district is being replanted
with 1000 Norway spruce trees,
under the direction of the Chief of
the Cleveland Cliffs Iron company's
forestry department. The COM
pany is devoting much attention to
the demonstration of its lands, and
it already has extensive tracts
planted with white pine seedlings.
1t maintains a nursery for that
particular purpose.

Successful Tax Sale

The annual delinquent tax sale

Halden. 1t was one of the most
successful sales ever held in the
county.
There was about $3.50 worth
property to be sold, most OF which
was disposed of, the county realiz-

of the sale cannot be ascertained
for several days, as the clerks will
not have the reports completed TN

SPECULATION
AS to Amount of Ore Ton
mage This Year

The opening of the shipping sea-
son for iron ore is placed at about
the 18th of the present month and
much speculation is being INDUCED
in as to the tonnage which will be
forwarded from the Lake Superior
region. Some estimate it at
95, 900, 900 tons.
No sales of ore, except few
scattering lots, have been made this
year. The lower lake ports and
furnace yards are crowded to over
flowing. The stockpile room at
the mines are becoming filled and
the larger part of the mines are
curtailing forces in lieu of cutting
wages. The larger part of those
let out are single men who are avail
ing themselves of tthe opportunity
afforded by the slack times to visit
in the old country.
Prices of pig iron have dropped
and it will be a difficult matter to
maintain one of S28 for rails in the
face of present conditions. The
United States Steel corporation has
held to this rate III good times as
well as poor, but the independent
element in the market is consider
able and may not see fit to hold up
the price.
1t is not likely that ore prices
will be reduced. In fact the United
States Steel corporation and the in
dependent companies have decided
to maintain the present ones. 1t is
matter of debate whether the COM
parative consumption of ore, III
connection with the known tonnage
in sight, is sufficiently large to war
rant the present level of prices.
Whether reduction in the prices of
iron ore would create new business
is questionable III the minds of
many. The slump i'll the price of
copper did not seem to help the
market much, if at all, the demand
having advanced only slightly, ex-
cept lately in foreign countries, with
the metal selling around IL cents.

LAID OFF
Oliver Company Curtails
Forces

Owing to the very unsettled con-
dition of the iron market the Oliver
Mining company has laid off con-
siderable part of its forces at the
mines. At the Pioneer the night
shift has been discontinued. The
Savoy mine has been closed and at
the Zenith and Sibley only short
crews are at work.
Married men as nearly as possible
have been retained, the majority of
those let out being single men. 1t
is estimated that $50 are directly
affected by this lay-off in Ely
alone. At Soudan the forces have
also been cut. The same condition
applies to all the mines on the
Mesaba range.

ORE PRICES
TO Be Maintained Say Steel
People

Following a meeting of the lead
ing pig iron interests of the country
at the United States Steel com
pany's offices last week, the follow
ing statement was issued:
Owing to the fact that much er-
roneous information has been dis
seminated concerning the purpose
of this meeting of pig iron and ore
producers, it is thought desirable to
make statement which embodies
the views of all present.
The meeting was called for the
purpose of hearing reports from the
blast furnace interests of all Sec
tons in regard to general conditions
as affecting particularly the foundry
iron trade. Prices of pig iron were
only incidentally referred to. There
is no agreement to maintain the
price of pig iron. Producers il
different sections of the country
are making quotations based on
their cost of manufacture and the
measure of their necessities. Prices
are now IS or more below the high
mark of eight months ago, and are
almost without exception below the
cost of production at northern and
eastern furnaces, and with the ex-
ception of a favored few, below
cost at southern furnaces.
Information received indicates
that producers of Lake Superior ore
are materially curtailing production
and from the information it is be,
1ieved the price of ore will not be re-
duced below the price of last year.

from here who attended the con-
vention were S. S. Chi1ders, E. P.

The Duluth & Iron Range has
extended the platform at the depot
a hundred feet east. This has

patrons. The platform extends the

at all times when a train is at the
station.

Back to Europe

A large number of the young men
laid off at the mines here this week
have gone, or arranged to go, to
the old country to spend their en-
forced vacations. 1t is estimated
that on an average of twenty a day
have gone from here during the
week, one local concern having sold
AZ tickets on Tuesday, the larger
part of whom left OH the following
morning.

some improved property disposed
of also. A large number of tax
title purchasers were present during
the sale, and the acceptance of the
land for the taxes was coming in
fast all day.
The total amount collected of the
1906 taxes amounted to about ST.
500, 900. but there was unpaid about
SIS, 900. This amount of delinquent
taxes is about the average per year.

Pot Hunters

Considerable complaint is being
registered i'll all the range towns
over the depredations of the pot
hunter and the fish dynamiter
This practice, mostly followed by
the foreign population, has become
a menace and will in a short while
destroy all the game and fish in
this country. Now that the ranges
are beset with many idle men much
more of this class of law breaking
is liable to occur. 1t should be
stopped.

PACIFIC MAIL AND
togo KISEN KAISHA

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 9.-Ship-
ping men generally conceded yesterday
that the lines operating from this city
to the Orient in the transpacifc freight
business would be obliged to meet the
seventeen per cent. cut in the rates
announced by the Nippon Yusen Kai-
sha, which operates between Japan and
Seattle. The failure of the Japanese
companies to reach an agreement at the
conference held in Japan has preeipi-
tated a condition in the transpacific
freight business which may terminate
in rate war between all the lines
shipping from North American ports
and the Orient.
Undoubtedly" W. NJ. Avery, the
local representative of the Togo Kisen
Kaisha, said last night, "the determi-
nation of the Nippon Yusen Kaisha to
cut the freight rates win affect both
our company and the Pacific Mail.

it as result of the withdrawal of the
Nippon Yusen Kaisha from the confer
ence and it's announcement that it will
not follow the tariffs of other lines l
should imagine that the Togo Kisen
Kaisha and the Pacific Mail would have
to meet the cut if they desired to re-
main active competitors. We can not
afford to overlook the action of the
rival company.
"The Togo Kisen Kaisha, however,
will not act without the advice of Mr..
Schwerin of the Pacific Mail. Any ar
that is made by him will
be followed by our line. He will direct
the policy.
"The controversy is the result of
quarrel between the Canadian Pacific
and the Nippon Yusen Kaisha, both of
which companies operate from the
northwest with the Orient I expect
advices from Japan today explanatory
of the real situation. "

JURY UNABLE TO AGREE.

The jury in Judge Robinson s court
before whom Raymon Rodrigues was
tried for incest was unable to agree
after being out all afternoon, and at
10 o clock last night they were locked
up for the night
There seems no doubt of Rodrigues
guilt of the act but there seems to be
disagreement in the jury as to whether
the girl is his daughter or only his
adopted daughter
