LAWS
Miner Supplement Contains
Late Session Laws

The MINER this week presents tt
its readers the laws passed at the
session of the legislature just closed
and they prove of interest. Con.
sidering that there are "a pages Of
closely set matter, the issuance Of
these supplements few hours after
the governor had signed the last
bill is remarkable and unprecedent-
ed. On the last page of the sup
plement will be found an index and
reference to the same will soon To-
cate any desired measure.
Thanks to Governor Johnson,
the tonnage tax law is not among
the new measures, but several others
are there of local application but
which will not prove as disastrous
as the Bjorge measure would have
proven.
Save the supplement for refer
ence. 1t is important.

A Funny Business

The man who goes out to make
a home for himself on farm ex.
poets it will take him ten or twenty
years to get it into condition to
give him an independent living.
If he selects a piece of ground in
the woods he may have to work
longer, and it's about the hardest
kind of work of which we have
knowledge.
A man who puts capital into a
mercantile enterprise expects to
work hard for ten or more years to
build up paying trade.
The fellow who engages in the
newspaper industry expects to win
out sometime, but he rarely does,
the failure being about 90 per cent
of those engaging.
The man who equips for the
legal profession spends ten years in
preparation, as many more in
practical operation before he gets
to the front, if he ever does.
The average school professor
works life time, spends a small
fortune to prepare for his work,
and if he dies with his accounts all
settled the world is pleased. The
average clergyman talks all his life,
prays for all the wicked, christians
the babies, weds the young and old,
buries us and has hard work to
collect the forty dollars month
the congregation agrees to give
him.
The average working man may
save 500 year, or he may not.
Some do better, many not so well.
The doctor works night and day
in all seasons, subjects himself to
all kinds of danger and he labors a
life time to get a home. A few
succeed, many do not.
But the man who buys a mining
stock for IS this morning expects
to see it quoted at $6 tomorrow.
Anyone of the above people itnag-
inc they must win out over night.
If the stock drops a bit from their
purchase price then something is
wrong. They complain that some
one ism supporting it, forgetting
that they have just as good a
chance to do this as anyone. From
an investment of 81 900 the aver
age man wouldn't think of taking
81 900 profit. He wants at least
$4,000 or $4,000; and yet he
would work months to save a few
hundreds. -Virginian.

Made Assistant General Su'
perintendent

]. H. Hearding, of Eveleth, gen
eral superintendent of the Adams
and Spruce mines of that city, was
elected Monday as assistant general
manager of the Oliver Iron Mining
Co. This action was taken at a
meeting of the officials of the min
ing company in the Wolvin build

The changes which have recent.
ly occurred in the officials of the
Oliver Mining company began with
the resignation of T. F. Cole, who
is devoting his entire time to his
large mining interests. w. ]. o.
colt, who was vice-president of the
company, succeeded Mr.. Cole as
president. Pentecost Mitchell, who
was general manager, succeeded
Mr.. Olcott as vice president, and
John H. Mclean, who was assist
ant general manager, succeeded
Mr.. Mitchell as general manager.
President w. ]. Olcott, of the
Oliver Iron Mining Co., returned
yesterday from business trip to
New York. w. A. McGonagle,
president of the Mesaba and F. E.
House, president of the Iron Range,
were with Mr.. Olcott on the trip.
Mr.. Olcott was asked if there were
any new developments concerning
the ore industry. and what the pro-
bable ore movement would be this
season. He said:
The ore shipments from Mime
s0&a win be somewhat larger than
last year. twill not be a large
increase, but it will be a fair I'M
provement. There will be net
increase in shipments for the lake
region as compared with 1908, but
the increase will be Of moderate ex-
tent.

wonderfully rich soil, the railroad

most successful mining men in the
Minnesota field and besides is a

His promotion is being received

BIG BOOST
Timber and Stone Claims
Now Cost Something

The first appraisal of property
under the changed regulations of
he timber and stone law was filed
tat the United States land Office
Tuesday. This has been awaited
with interest, since there was an
order not to take any more filings
at the former minimum price of
81. SO per acre fiat. Other apprais-
ais are expected at the land Office,
and they are important inasmuch
as they will make a comparison be-
tween the former price and the
price those who file now may ex-
pect to pay.
In the first instance the man who
filed places valuation of 500 on
40 acres in township Sc, range %,
section Is. The government esti-
mator appraises the same property
at $40. This forty was filed on
january 80, by Cornelius Keppel
of Hibbing. He figured the value
this way; forty acres at SO cents an
acre, $40; O,OoO feet of timber at
81 go per thousand, $50; total 500.
The gvernment estimator, E. F.
Bigelow, acting for Samuel ]. Col
ter, chief of the field division of
the United States land Office, fig
tires the value in this way: forty
asres at IS per acre, $40; $4,000
feet of timber at 81 per thousand,
$3.50; 1000 cedar ties at cents
apiece, $50; total $40.
. When the filing is made there is
a fee of $40 to be paid. This is
forfeited if the land is not taken at
the valuation placed upon it by the
government appraiser. The ap-
plicant can take exception to the
valuation if he thinks it is too high,
but in order to have the land reap
praised he must deposit 500 to
bear the expense.
]. C. H. Engel, register and
Neil B. Morrison, receiver of the
United States land Office, are both
of the opinion that the number of
filings under the timber and stone
law will be cut down very low and
there will be very little moving in
timber and stone land, if the first
appraisal received is a fair average
or representation of the difference
in price between what the land for
merly cost and what it will cost
now. They take into considera-
ton, however, that appraisals to be
filed later may show that the valua-
ton of the man who wants the land
and that made by the government
estimator may come closer togeth-
err.
The particular 20 acres in quest
ion is about four miles south of
Nashwauk and is worth more than
the usual run on account of being
comparatively near to a shipping
point. Mr.. Bigelow values the
timber at $12 thousand on the
bank of a stream or at a railroad
track, and estimates that it will
cost So a thousand to transport it
considerable distance to the rail-
road or river.
One effect of the new regulations
by which land must be appraised is
to put completely out of business
the men who have followed the oc-
of land locators. Under
the old $3.50 an acre fiat rate, the
locators made charge of from SIPS
to $500 for locating a man. When
the man who files has to pay what
the land is actually worth on the
he can not afford to pay
locator's fee. One locator who re-
sides in Duluth is said to have
stated that when the new ruling
was received in meant loss to him
of Sic, 900 in business, which he
was assured before.

 A bad mix-up of bad negroes occurred up at Dravo near lock 14 on last Sat urday night the details of which have just been learned here.

POOR WITNESS FOR FRIEND
Deacon's Brief Emphatic Testimony
Probably Somewhat Impressed
tie Jury.

Deacon Stephen Potter, one of the
pioneers of Utica, N. Y. was a man
of great eccentricity but high moral
character. The deacon will speak
the truth and shame the devil" was
often said of him.
On one occasion a friend was en-.
gagged in lawsuit in regard to some
land few miles from Utica. He held
the land at high price. During the
trial he called Deacon Potter as a
witness, to prove how valuable the
land was. The deacon was sworn and
asked If he knew the land.
YES" he replied, II know every
foot of it."
What do you think it is worth, Mr..
Potter?" was the next question.
The old man paused a moment and
then said. slowly: "If I had as many
dollars-as my yoke of oxen-could
draw-on a sled-on glazed ice-I
vow-I would not give-a dollar an
acre for it!"-Youth's Companion.
