ACTIVITY ON Guyana
Duluth Herald Declares
that Finds Indicate a Fu-
ture of Much Promise

There is much activity on the new
Cuyuna range. Much exploratory
work is IN progress, and 1t appears to
be attended with a gratifying degree
of success. Drills are penetrating the
ground IN various districts. Ore has
been found in many tracts It cannot
be said that all of the deposits are
sufficient IN extent or in the quality of
their mineral to give assurance that
mines will be opened, but the opera
of development are such as to indicate
the range has a future of much
promise.
A particularly gratifying showing
IS that being made by the Rogers
Brown Ore company IN the Rabbit
lake district near Deerwood, where the
work on the Cuyuna has reached its
most advanced stage. Actual mining
Is IN progress here, and were railroad
facilities available some ere could be
shipped even now. A fine four COM
partment shaft is sinking. Ore found
In this Rabbit lake district runs as
high as 60 per cent iron and is of the
Bessemer grade. More Of the mineral
assays lower than that but practically
all of it Is reported of merchantable
quality. Prospecting on the Guyana
is attended with the disappo1ntments
and difficulties common to all new
fields Of which comparatively little rs
known, and particularly since the
overburden is heavy and the dip of the
iron formation is practically vertical.
There are few rock exposures, and IN
the great majority of cases the only
indications of the ore are the lines of
magnetic attraction.

GIANT GRIP HORSESHOE CON-
PANY BANKRUPT.

John K0hler, S. s. Jones and G. G.
Brannen, creditors, have petitioned
the United States court at Duluth to
have the Giant Grip company OF this
city adjudged as bankrupt The
heaviest creditors are also the heaviest
stockholders, and this procedure is
probably taken to put the concern on
q better basis. AS soon as the
difficulties are Strengthened out, which
will be short time, we understand
that the plant will be worked to
full capacity.

DID YOU BUY 4 Liz CfNSf? !?
IL Your Dog is Missing
You'll Know Where to
Find Him

Woe to the dog that has not the
license, collar and tag required by the
ordinance passed by the city council
on May s and approved by the mayor
on the 18th, for the ordinance took
effect yesterday and the dog catcher is
on his trail. Since the city clerk
received the cog license tags he has
had more visitors during Office hours
than he has had for some years past,
and for each visitor. who inevitably
pays the required price for a license
and a tag, some poor dogs life is
insured for another year from the
ruthless hands or pistol OF the dog
catcher.
Wednesday about fifty tags
were secured by dog.ownels who had
their particular pet registered IN the
book of life (for dogs), bringing the
total number of dogs licensed to rnn
at large to hundred, Thursday morning.
All dogs not having license tag
will be placed in the pound by the
dog. catcher and kept there 36 hours,
during which time their owners can
redeem them by paying 81 to the {dog-
g0ne) dog catcher, but after the time
of detention has elapsed the dog
catcher can sell the canine or kali
and bury it, receiving SIS from the
city for each dog killed and buried.
Owners having dogs running at
large, who fail to secure license Tor
same, are liable to a fine of from 81
to S. and costs OF prosecution or not
to exceed twenty days Jail sentence on
failure to pay fine. The license is
good for one year, expiring May of
each year. There is still large
numbe- of dogs which have not been
registered and license secured for
them, and undoubtedly a number of
these will soon be in the clutches of
the dog catcher.
Later-Tags have run out and the
CANNES will be given q respite until
the tags arrlve which time 1t is ex-
pected will be today. ~

FOR OUR MARKET DAYS.
Farmers Stock and Arti-
cles to be Auctioned
Free Of Charge

Commencing with next market day,
Saturday May %, an auctioneer will
be furnished by the merchants of this
city, free of charge to the farmers, to
auction off all articles and stock
farmers may have to sell each market
day at the local market place. All
that the farmer, who wishes to take
advantage of this liberal offer, is re-
qulred to do, IS that he send in a list
of the articles he may wish to have
auctioned off to the secretary of the
Commercial club, j. Z. Martin, at the
First National Bank. at least one
week before market day. The
merchants Will then have complete
list of all the articles and stock that
are to be disposed Of at the coming
market day advertised, so that pro-
spectlve buyers can see whether there
is anything to be auctloned off that he
may wish to bid on. No charges
whatever will be maze to the farmer
for this service. 1t is thought that in
this manner market day will be at
tended by large number of farmers
from miles around.
Tim Perry has been secured as
market day auctloneer. me local
stores will have special bargains on
market days.
BY this plan the farmer can get good
prices for whatever he has listed
and brought to be sold at auction, ana
can purchase goods from the local
stores at the lowest prices. These
market days will undoubtedly be a
decided success all around. .

NO LIQUOR TO INDIANS
Cass Lake Saloon Keepers
Agree to Stop Sale Of Fire
Water to Red Skins

Fred w. Zollman Of st. Paul, who
has recently been several times IN
Washington conferring with the.
officials OF the Indian department.
regarding the proposed action of said
department in enforcing to the letter
certain treaty stipulations with regard
to the introducing Of liquor into the
territory covered by said treaties.
was in Cass Lake Thursday evening
and at his instgatlon the retail LIQUOR
dealers held a meeting and discussed
the proposed action of the department
which looks to the absolute enforce
ment of laws which will prevent the
sale of liquor to Indians under any
circumstances, says the Cass Lake
Times. After Mr.. Zollman had
thoroughly explained the situation the
dealers in their meeting drew up
petition to the village council and
authorities requesting them to revoke
the license of any one of them who is
found guilty of selling or giving to
any Indian any intoxication LIQUORS.
The authorities In Cass Lake. as ia
we'll known have for the past year had
the lid on and saloons have been run
in very orderly manner, and there is
no question but that the traffic in this
respect with Indians will absolutely
cease, as the authorities are IN
sympathy with the movement and Will
see to its strict enforcement.
Conditions have changed in Cass
Lake very materially from few years
ago when there were three time the
number of saloons that there are now.
and the number is now so small COM
pared with that time that there IS no
question OF their being able to 90
business without any Indian trade.
This makes it all the more certain that
the traffic will be stopped
Mr.. Zollman came here from Walker.
where similar action was taken bv
the liquor dealers and authorities, and
he is expecting to get similar action
looking to the cooperation with the
Indian department In all the territory
affected by the treaty..
