Birch Tree Bug

About month ago it was thought
that an early fall was sure to come.
This conclusion was arrived at
when the leaves on trees began to
change color. On closer investiga-
ton it was discovered that the birch
trees were the only ones affected
and that the change was caused by
an insect which attacked the birch
leaves and left them nothing but
skeletons. The attached from the
Pioneer Press gives an idea of the
habits and work of the creatures.
Specimens of what were
thought to be white lice, accused
of destroying the white birch in the
northern part of the state, having
been classified as worms by Prof.
F. L. Washburn, state entomolo-
gist. The professor has given the
pests name which is calculated to
make even a worm turn. Buccula-
trix Canadensisella is the pet name
he uses, although he states that
they also answer when called by the
more easily handled epithet, birch
leaf skeletonizer.
Peter Moe, of Margie, Mimi.
first noticed the inroads of the pests
upon the white birch and gathered
specimens which he forwarded to
Gen. c. c. Andrews, state forester.
Gen. Andrews in turn forwarded
the worm to the state entomologist,
who now brings the following in
dictment against the tree destroyer.
He says:
1t has been quite destructive
in different parts of the country,
though this is the first complaint
have had of it in Minnesota.
In some places its work is so
bad that it makes the trees look as
though fire had swept through them

GOING SOME
Exceptional Activity on the
VermiliOn Range

The exploratory work on the
Vermilion is still going on and new
prospecting and mining companies
are in daily formation. Last week
several new companies were launch
ed on the mining sea and added to
those already in existence sum up
a total of working companies such
as this range has not experienced
since the earliest days of its discov-
cry.
From all indications and Judging
by the names of the incorporators
of the several concerns which have
filed articles of incorporation, none
are of the wildcat stock-jobbing or
der but all are legitimate develop
ment and mining companies. Sew
eral of those organized have no
stock for sale and those that are
placing stock on the market are on
ly doing so to secure cash with
which to explore their respective
propositions. This BODIES good for
the range and means that much
good work will be accomplished.
The Robinson Lake Iron Co. is
working as fast as it is possible for
diamond drills to work and from
all accounts given out by those on
the inside, are meeting with most
excellent results. A new hole be-
ing drilled at present is reported to
be showing up well. This hole is
being put down as a verifcation of
finds previously made. E. c. Ken
nedy, who is in charge of the ex-
plorations, says that enough has
been shown in the work done on
this property to warrant the taking
of lease by a mining company.
The Armstrong Lake Iron Co.
has this week received diamond
and churn drill at their property at
Armstrong and the same will be
put to work at once under the man
agement of John Helmer. This
company has secured the Goetchius
claim by purchase and has also
leased the Levy lands.
The Vermilion Iron Development
Co. is a new concern which has Sc
cured control of the Pine Island
property at Tower and also the
Murray claim in Oils. Much
work has been done on the Pine
Island property several years ago
and it was reported that most ex-
cellent results had been secured.

Johnson Memorial

The students and faculty of the
Ely Public Schools paid loving
tribute to our late Governor John
son last week, by sending as a final
token an exquisite bank of flowers
upon which this very appropriate
motto stood out in flowers of con-
trasting color:
None knew thee but to love thee,
None named thee but to praise"
Below this appeared the words:
From the Ely Schools.
The manner in which the stu
dents responded deserves high COM
mendation and letter received
from the Assistant State Supt. OF
Schools in St. Paul, who saw the
piece, testifes to that fact. He
said that the students of the Ely
schools should feel very proud OF
their gift as it was one OF the most
beautiful there.
1t was less than year ago that
Governor Johnson spoke to the stu
dents in the H. S. Auditorium and
their tribute was only the express
sion of the love he won for himself
at that time.
The report of the Treasurer Of
the fund, Miss Edith M. Barrett
shows the amount collected was
$36.53. The cost of the floral piece
was $3.50, leaving surplus Of
$5.O3, which has been sent to the
Johnson memorialfund.
The different schools in the dis.
tricts contributed as follows:

The Exchange Hotel

Now that work has been complet-

popular hostelry presents an ap-
pearance second to no hotel on the
ranges, inside or outside. DR.. Ship
man, the owner, has spared no ex-
pense in putting the building in
first class condition and the results
are far beyond expectations.
The entire house has been re-
modelled throughout. A beginning
was made on the foundation and a
good solid cement wall placed un-
der the entire building. A laundry
was roomed off in the basement and
the heating plant thoroughly over.
hauled. The floors in the office
and saloon part have all been re-
laid in hardwood and this in con.
nection with the newly grained
woodwork gives it rich appear
ance. All the paper has been re-
moved from the walls and paint and
kalsomine substituted.
The paper from the walls of the
rooms and the same treatment APP.
piled in addition to new paint on
the floors and woodwork gives them
a neat wholesome appearance. New
beds, bedding, mattresses and
springs in the larger part of the
rooms have been provided. The
upper floor is in charge of Mrs. j.

cleanliness. Mrs. Goldsworthy al
so superintends the cuisine and

Exchange is enjoying deserved pat
ronage and is constantly increasing
in favor of the travelling public.

FOREST FIRES
Last Year a Bad One for
Fire Obstruction

Forest fires are causing consider
able damage in many parts of the
country at present. 1t will be sew
eral months before the total des-
truction is known, for the fire sea-
son has considerable time to run.
In figuring out this years losses,
it will be natural to make COMPARE
son with losses for last year which,
according to Treadwell Cleveland
IT., in the Year Book of the De-
partment of Agriculture, will cause
1908 to be long remembered.
A dry season, combined with
what seemed to be even more than
the usual indifference toward small
fires which might easily have been
extinguished at the start" says
Mr.. Cleveland, caused destructive
CONGREGATIONS in practically every
State, with losses aggregating
500, 100000. In comparison with
the havoc wrought elsewhere, the
damage done to the National For
ests was exceedingly slight. Had
fires ragged within the forests as they
did outside, they would have des-
troyed timber worth $4,000, 900,
enough to run the Forest Service
for six years. Moreover, it is prac-
tically certain that most if not all
of the damage which was done
might have been prevented had the
Forests been fully manned.
Finally, the estimates of loss
made by the Service on National
Forests are particularly searching,
and take full account of the injury
done to young growth. Common
ly, estimates of loss from forest
fires are based upon the damage
done to standing timber and to FRO
perty; they do not reckon the usu-
ally far greater loss in injury or de-
struction of young growing stock.

A Treat

By all odds the best talk we have
heard in Ely for some time was
that given Wednesday evening at
K. of P. Hall by F. S. Atwood, the
Blind Optimist, " of Sleepy Eye,
MINI. Mr.. Atwood, although
blind beyond a possibility of ever
regaining his sight, is an optimist
of the most cheerful sort and those
who listened to him Wednesday in
his lecture on Happiness" were
most favorably impressed and with
al most pleasurably entertained.
His comparisons between the pessi-
mist and optimist were we'll drawn
and given in a finished manner and
his interspersing pleasantries were
most timely. He can rest assured
of hearty reception should he ev-
er come this way again.
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1909-10-01

The methods by which the gov
eminent keeps down the fire losses
on the National Forests include:
/. Constant and systematic pa
troll by picketed forces of rangers
and guards.
2. The construction of roads,
trails and telephone lines, which
facilitates the massing of large fire
fighting forces.
8. The construction of fire lines
which, in some instances, check the
spread of fire without human help.
4. The equipment of the forests
with fire-fghting tools and other
supplies necessary in fighting fires.
The supplies of tools are kept at
convenient points at all times, in
order to have them easily accessible
to Forest officers in case fire breaks
out.
S. Cooperation with railroads,
timber land owners, and settlers in
fire protection, in this way making
it possible to protect both the lands
of the companies and the Forest
Service at much smaller cost to
the Government than would be the
case were the National Forest lands
alone protected by the local officers.
Just as the practice of forestry is
important in the movement for the
conservation of all natural resources
so is the protection of the forests
from fires important in the further
ance of national forest work. In
fact forestry in many instances
means nothing more than conserva-
tive numbering and the prevention
of forest fires. Uncle Sam realizes
that only through the wise use and
care of the forests will it be possible
to make natural cumberland per-
manentiy productive. The prac-
tice of forestry does not mean alb
breviating the use of the land. In
stead, conservative numbering and
protection of the young growth
from fire will bring about a steadily
increasing use, for with cultivation
and care the yield of the forest in
creases and the product improves in
the same way that the value of the
farm increases under a proper sys-
tenn of management.

CAPTAIN. NICK
Remains of One of Our Old
est Citizens Laid Away

Capt. Thos. Williams, David Ut
ter and Mrs. M. Tonkin have re-
turned from Minneapolis where
they attended the funeral of Capt.
Nick Cowling a week ago Monday.
Announcement of the death was
made in the MINER two weeks ago
but owing to the illness of the editor
last week further notice was in
advertently omitted.
Capt. Nicholas Cowling died at
his home in Minneapolis on Friday
Sept. 18th, following severe ill
ness of only three days, although
he has been ailing for over three
years. His death is popularity sup
posed to have been caused by heart
failure, following long contracted
ailment known as miner S consump-
ton, an affection with which men
who have followed mining for any
length of time are frequently affect
ed.
Nicholas Cowling was born in
Cornwall, England, in 1850 and
was at the time of his death 50 years
of age. He came to America from
England when a young man and
settled in Greenland, Mich, where
he followed mining. He was mar
ried at Greenland and one daught-
er, Minnie, was the result of this
union. Mrs. Cowling died later
and the widower removed to Sou
dan in the early days being con.
nected with the Minnesota mine
At Soudan he was again married tt
Miss Nellie Oaks and FIVE children
were born to the couple, Helen
Randall, Hiram, Gertrude and Dor
othy. All his children with the
widow survive him.
When Ely was in its infancy
Capt. Cowling and family removed
here, he taking charge of the Zen.
it'll mine, to which charge was later
added the Sib1ey and Savoy mines.
Two years ago, owing to i'll health,
he resigned the superintendency OF
the mines and retired to Minnea-
polls where the family possess a
beautiful home. He was one of the
best known mining men in> the
Minnesota fields and was man of
sterling qualities. His death is de.
plored by host of friends on the
Minnesota and Michigan ranges.
The funeral took place from the
residence on Monday Sept. 20,
many friends of the family attend
ing the last rites. Capt. VIM.
Cowling, of Two Harbors. and Mr..
and Mrs. Sam. Cakes, of Gilbert,
were also former Elyites attending
the funeral.
