The river is falling faster than
ever and those who are in the vicin-

big drop every twenty-four hours.
Should the water continue to fall, the
larger river steamers will no doubt
tie up, as sandbars and reefs are
sticking up out OF the water over two
feet In some places where "a few
weeks ago they were covered with
seven or eight feet of water.

Hope Predictions May Prove True.

A number of Virginians read the
report n the Duluth papers of Sat-
urday of the proving of new ore
range to the north, because of the
fact that land interests IN the sec
tion are held by many local men.
The new range as defined lies in
the Ash Lake district, and while by
many who have been over the
ground it is firmly believed an ore
body exists in the section so far as
known no work has proven the body
or developed the section to a point
where it would be wise for the man
of small means to pin his fortune
in the search for mineral wealth.
Two years ago a party of local
men spent several thousand dollars
in the section described, but failed
to prove what they sought, and the
development of new ore field
would be specially pleasing to them,
inaemuch as they retain their land
interests in fee. A drill has gone
into the section this week, and future
reports will be watched with inter
est.
