27, township 63, range IL. under
name of the Ogle Iron Development
company, has recently been organ
lied, with Two Harbors and Min

able. Soon after the new year the
development work under Mr.. Han
field will be actively carried on,

States Ore Land

That the state of Minnesota will
within the next half century receive
S25O,OOO,OOO in the form of royal
ties paid on the mineral deposits in
state lands is the confident assertion
of George w. Simpson, attorney
general of the state. When it was
discovered that the great mineral
deposits, chiefly iron ore, underlay
the swamp lands, previously almost
valueless, the state adopted the
farseeinq policy Of collecting a
royalty from those permitted to
work the mines, and by legislative
enactment provided that the prin-
cipal should be invested and only
the income appropriated for current
needs. Thus far according to Mr..
Simpson, the annual income thus
derived amounts to 100000 and
if the present rate of interest, four
per cent, can be obtained on the
entire amount of the royalties in
sight, the state will ultimately enjoy
an annual income of $4,000, 900,
which will go far to avert the
necessity OF taxation for school and
other state needs. Mr.. Simpson
explains that this income is now
utilized to support the schools,
each of whic receives a share,
according to the character of the
education afforded and the number
of pupils enrolled. "Uuder the
swamp land act of 1S41," said Mr..

SUICIDE
Probable Solution of Death
of Henry Yeskila

Sunday morning as Pumpman
Andrew Elm was making his
rounds underground atthe Pioneer,
he came upon the remains of man
at the foot of B" shaft. The
badly battered remains were gather
ed together and taken to the Glea-
son undertaking rooms and held
there for Identification. Identifi-
cation was rather a difficult
matter as the front part of the
mans head was completely shatter-
ed down as far, as the mouth and
the clothes and general build were
the only proofs to go by.
Herman Pete identified the re-
mains as those of Henry Yeskila,
a former employe of the Pioneer
mine who hadquit work the Monday
previous. Deputy Corner Gleason
deemed an inquest not necessary as
all indications pointed to the man S
having committed suicide. Wit
nesses claim he had on several
occasions shown SYMPTOMS of insan-
ity and it is presumed he jumped
into the shaft. He leaves a wife
and four children in Finland.
1t is presumed that Yeskila in a
mental fit wandered down to the
mine and deliberately threw himself
into the shaft, the mouth of which
is we'll protected and into which nc
one could walk by accident. Or
holidays and when the mine is not
working, the skips are left a few
feet from the top and it is thought
the demented man went down the
ladder way below the skips before
jumping into the shaft. All clothe:
had fallen from the descending
body and when picked up only one
sock was in its place. The funera
was helm Tuesday.

CHANDLER NINE
Opened Wednesday and Will
Work

A surprise was sprung on the
Ely people Tuesday when Capt.
Frank Kent arrived In the city and
announced that he came to open
the Chandler mine which has not
been worked for four years.
Wednesday morning a small
crew was started getting things
into shape at No. 5 shaft. Capt.
Kent went underground to the
18th level and found the mine in
good shape. Hegoes back to work
at the same pfdee he left when
leaving Ely Aeight years ago for
the Mesaba ranga
Machinery viii at once be put in
- aotivs / e 1,egun. 1t is the
purpose to begin hosting ore as
soon as the machinery is in place.
Parties who have Investigated claim
there will be no trouble to get ore
at once. The north forty, owned
in fee by the Bradley interests and
others will be worked.
The Steel Corporations lease on
the property has expired and new
firm has taken hold backed by
heavy interests. John Costin and
E. McNeill of Virginia are the
prime movers in the deal.
It will be a welcome sound when
the Chandler whistles blow again.

Christmas Observed

All the merchants report an
exceptionally brisk holiday trade, a
fact that is highly gratifying to our
citizens in general. This year
there was tendency to trade more
at home and only small amount
of money left town for Christmar
as the books of the postofhce and
express office will show.
The day was appropriately observ-
ed by the closing of every business
house and the mines. Services
were conducted at all the churches
and at several special appropriate
programs had been prepared. All
of the churches indulged in Christ
mas trees.
At the M. E. church very en-
joyable program was given on
Sunday evening. The choir had
prepared special music and under
the efficient dictatorship of Prot.
Martin Prisk rendered some very
choice selections. Among others
on the program were several OF Mr.
Prisk's own arrangements. Rev
Manley delivered very able talk.
Rev. Taylor at the Presbyterian
church gave one of the excellen'
talks which was all too short fol
the church filled with interested
listeners. The choir here also gave

most excellent music, the choir
being composed of members of
the Y. P. c. E. under the tutor
ship of Miss Galloway who presided
at the organ.
Taken altogether this was very
successful Christmas.

Simpson, the state acquired title
to many acres of swamp lands
supposed to be of little value by the
federal government, and which the
state officials viewed as far more of
a problem than resource. For
many years these lands lay
practically idle and afforded no
revenue, but the discovery of iron
ore changed all that, and they are
now one of the most valuable re-
sources of the state. F"
