Sea-Notes of the Shipping.

One Of the eseverest southeast
storms swept over Tidewater Yir-
ginia yesterday morning and con-
tinued throughout the day and night.
The wind blew a gale both here and
at the Virginia Capes. bringing with
It a pouring rain that made it thick
at sea and doubled the danger 10
ships and shipping both in Hampton
Roads and along the coast.
SO far as had been reported last
hight. no ships suffered any mishaps
in the Roads or the harbor here, but
1t is more than likely that vessels
caught at sea were damaged to more
or less extent. The wind sweeping
into the Cape kept nearly all vessels
in pert during the day. few caring to
risk going into the open sea in the
face of such a storm.
Although is kicked up but little sea
here. the high wind made it uncom-
fcrtable for vessels anchored in the
harbor and all of the unlcaded
schooners and barges got out extra
anchors to prevent them from being
blown about in the barber Several
coal laden vessels remained in the
barber for shelter. while the schOon-
ers and barges coming down from
Baltimore with cargces and those
outward bound from Norfolk anchor
ed in Hampton Roads to await the
passing of the storm.
The warning of the storm was sent
out from Washington at 10 o'clock

the disturbance was over Indiana and
moving northeast and predicted high

Whitehead, the Duluth colored
fighter who has appeared before
Ely audiences on several occasions,
was most scientifically walloped at
Houghton, Mich, Monday night
when he went nine rounds with
Mike Shrek the Cincinnati man.
Whitehead escaped a knockout
by the action of his seconds
who threw up the sponge in the
ninth round after their man had re-
cieved a terrible beating. Five
times in the eighth and ninth rounds
the colored fighter went to the
floor, right and left swings to the
jaw and face doing the business.

Hoist on Fall Lake. All cases
are attributed to the water supply

Health has taken measures to
remedy the water evil and has made
the vicinity of the camp more SAM
tary. Not case of typhoid fever
has been accredited to the City of
Ely since the water plant was

STRACHAN-- MILLER
Two Very Popular Young
People to Wed

Cards have been received by
friends of the interested parties in
this city, announcing the marriage
on September 1, at the home of the
brides parents, Mr.. and Mrs
Charles Benjamin Miller, at Fargo,
N. D. of Bruce Oliver Strachan to
Miss Ruth Irene Miller.
Both of the young people are
we'll and most favorably known in
this city where they enjoy the
friendship of large number who
join the MINER in wishing them
unlimited happiness. Mr.. Strachan
is with the engineering corps of the
Oliver Iron Mining Co. here. The
bride-to-be was, up to June, a
teacher in the Ely High School, a
position she occupied for two years
and resigned to prepare for the ap-
preaching nuptials.
They will be at home in this city
after October 18th.

Road to 80.

Surveyors have been busy laying
out a route for the spur to the
Section 80 mine the past week and
it is expected the work of building
will soon begin. From all appear
ances the spur will be put in from
the Swallow & Hopkins track at
Winton.
The mine has two large healthy
appearing stock piles on the ground
and shipments can begin as soon as
the track is finished. The larger
part of the ore is being hoisted
from No. 2 shaft, work in the old
shaft being mostly development
work at the present time. The
new shaft house is still on rollers
ready to move over the shaft at any
time it is needed.

After Winning Game Twice The Ely Boys
Lose on Errors.
Notwithstanding, the Game was Good
Exhibition and Enjoyed
SECOND CAME next SUNDAY.

There was much gladness in Our
neighboring city of Winton Sunday
night. There was feeling direct
ly opposite to this in Ely the same
evening. The cause for all the
gladness and the sadness was the
ball game played that day between
our suburban neighbors and the Ely
Fire Department nine, which the
Wintonites annexed to their credit
after Ely had the game won twice.
Hence the gladness on the part of
the Winton fans and the sadness of
the Ely fans.
The game was the first of the
series of three for $50 a side and
the major fraction of the gate re-
ceipts. An enormous crowd was
present and the roofing was spirit
ed on both sides. Enthusiasm was
no name for it. Every conveyance
in Ely had been engaged for the
occasion and the concourse from
here included the larger part of the
town.
Ely went to bat first. West, the
new twirler secured by Winton
some time ago from Saltwater, was
in the box and Tolen handled the
receiving end for Winton. J. H.
McGreevy, of Duluth, held the in
dicator. The new pitcher was
pounced upon with vengeance in
the first and before the Winton
boys had gotten their bearings Ely
had annexed two runs.
Seraphine and Ska1a held the
points for Ely and their work was
of the gilt edged order. Winton
succeeded in bringing one man over
the pan in their half of the inning.
The first inning had all the ear
marks of walkaway for Ely, but
affairs were changed, shortly.
In the second inning Ely again
secured two runs and the Winton
boys did the same. Ely secured
another in the fourth and one in
the sixth and it was all off after
that although chances were in their
favor but by few well-executed"
errors their cake became dough.
The Winton boys did not add any,
thing to their score of three until
the sixth frame when two more
were made and again in the seven
tn the same number were scored
making total of seven to Ely's
six.

for their purposes. The result is
that the most valuable species are
nowadays comparatively scarce and
high, and the cost of wood has be-
come a big item particularly to
farmers, railroads, mines and tele-
phone companies. The men con-
trolling these industries naturally
began to cast about for some means
of reducing the cost of fence-posts,
piling, railroad ties, mining timber,
telephone and telegraph poles, and
other timber likely to decay, and
making them last longer. The
thought naturally occurred: If

titles to all of which are now secure
and registered under the Torrens
act. Title to the richest of these
pieces, section 4-6115, has been in
litigation for 81 years. One attor-
ney got fee of $500 and nine
other attorneys were employed by
Mr.. Walsh during the litigation, so
its cost has been immense. Churn
drill work is now in progress on
the property in an effort to locate a
greensboro ledge. for sinking the
shaft. One million shares of stock
were issued at a par value of 81 per
share in this company, and they
are today held at S1.75 per share,
though not on the market. Five
hundred thousand shares went to
the fee owners, 100000 went to the
public on sale at SO cents, and the
remainder are III the treasury of
the company.
Another company, composed of
Thomas Owens, of Two Harbors,
H. J. Grannis and Louis Loeb,
backed by other Chicago and New
York capital, is exploring the
NWH of section Sells, adjoining
the North American property, and
has acquired the far4ous Nordstrom
property, which was formerly pros
pected by Ed Mundy, the well
known iron range character who
was killed in Superior some time
ago.
The Robinson Lake Iron Co. is
exploring sections HOLLIS, 6-61-14
and 1928, on the last of which
it has made big ore finds.
The reopening of the Soudan
mine has proven richer than even
its first indications warranted.
Some years ago it was thought this
mine was stripped clean and some
of the machinery was moved away.
The shaft was sunk further, how
ever, and body of ore has been
encountered which will insure OPP
erations being carried on there for
fifty years more at least. AS the
life of an iron mine is considered to
be from twenty years up, and pros
poets are bright for number of
big ore bodies being brought to
light about Tower, its future looks
very promising.
Mr.. Walsh stated this morning
that in his opinion, the diamond
drill had been the curse of the Yer
million range.
Every big mine on the range
has been condemned ssby the dia-
mond drill. The Savoy, Chandler,
Soudan, practically all the big bod
les of ore, were missed by the dia-
mond drill, or else were falsely re-
presented. On the other hand,
every shaft which has been sunk On
the entire Vermilion range, has
brought up big body of ore. This
is one of the reasons for stating
that not one-quarter of the ore on
the Vermilion range has yet been
discovered" Mr.. Walsh stated
that he thought it would be a long
time before the supply of hematite
got so low on the Verinilion that it
would pay to mine the magnetic
either there or around Grand Mar

ty of runner to get away and a
muffed fly in the left garden, were
the cause of the distressing ending
of the game for the Ely boys. A
beautiful hit had been sent out in
the extreme left by Seraphine.
Bouska who was on third decided
it was safe one and started for
home. Gleason on second moved
rapidly toward third. In the mean
time Burns was busy in the left
garden and picked the pippin in a
most beautiful catch. The runners
then tried to make their bags but it
was too late. Bouska was caught
but Gleason safely reposed on third.
Both could have scored if they had
waited until the fly had been
caught. On measurements made,
this hit was the longest ever made
on the Winton grounds, $40 feet
having been covered by the ball
when caught, and it would have
gone 20 feet farther before striking
the ground. In the seventh, Cox's
muff of an easy fly let in the win
ming runs.
Barring few disastrous errors,
the game was good exhibition and
the spectators got their moneys
worth. Considerable money chang
ed hands as the result of the game.
Admirers of both teams had wag-
cred quite freely on their favorites.
Some are out some money but ex-
pect to make it up on next Sum
days game. 1t is confidently exc
pected Ely will win this game easily
So it behooves all to be at the
grounds Sunday at $3.50 and see the
Fire boys give the Wintonites a
walloping in the most approved
manner possib1e-if they can.
This series of games is attracting
considerable attention, visitors from
several of the range towns and Du-
1uth witnessing last Sundays game
and many have signifed their in:
tention of seeing next Sundays ex-
hibition.
The lineup of Sundays game
