Life of Governor Johnson.

Frank A. Day, private secretary
of the late Governor johnson, has
undertaken to write and publish
a biography of the lamented Gov
ernor. He does this at the request
of Mrs. Johnson, and as the most
intimate friend, perhaps, that the
late Governor had, he is undoubt-
eddy peculiarly qualified for the
task. There are thousands of
friends of the late Governor who
would like to have some permanent
record and memorial of his life and
works. 1t would seem as if there
should be great demand for such
a biography as Mr.. Day proposes
to issue. The book will be about
four hundred pages and will be
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1909-11-19

well bound and geographically
perfect. The book will be pro-
fusely and handsomely illustrated,
and will be in eveE respect a pub
LEGATION worthy of a place in every
Minnesota home. Governor john
sons life was an inspiration to
every ambitious boy and girl,
and a record of that life on
the library table will be a
valuable contribution to the educa-
ton of the children. We under
stand that Mr.. Day will distribute
the book through the medium of
agents to be appointed in every
county of the state.

place. He was demonstrated with
on account of the storm that was
brewing at the time but all to no
avail and he poled off with the raft.
That was the last seen of him until
his body was found yesterday
morning.
From all indications Kangas had
become confused in the storm and
drifteg about for some time return
ing eventually to the same shore he
cad started from only several miles
from that place. The position of
the body and surroundings would
indicate that he had become ex-
hausted and laying down to rest
had persisted. The body was frozen
solid when found.
The rescue party had taken boats
and the remains were brought to
the track at Eagles Nest and from
there here on last evenings train.
The place where the remains were
found was about 16 miles from

of age and has lived in Ely for
nearly 20 years. He was engaged

Robert Smith who was drowned in
Fall Lake. The Tower News says
that Smith ran away from the
school three weeks ago and it was
reported few days afterwards that
he was drowned but at that time
the story was not believed, it being
surmised that it was simply blind
to aid him in evading capture.

Yesterday
Indications Pointed to His Having Died
Sunday

David Kangas, who has con-
Quoted a merchant tailoring estab-
lishment in this city for the past
fifteen years, was found frozen to
death at South Eegle's Nest Lake
yesterday morning by a party of
searchers who had been out since
Tuesday looking for the unfortun-
ate man. The searching party was
in charge of Matt Wierman and
Thos. Harri and comprised ten
good woodsmen. The searchers
were just on the point of giving up
and returning home after two days
of unsuccessful quest when one of
the party discovered traces that led
to the finding of the body of Kan
gas under a tree where he had evil
IDENTIFY been overcome and persisted
with the cold.
Kangas with several others left
Ely Wednesday morning for the
Eagles Nest Lake country on a
hunting trip. Saturday morning
the party which had been fairly
successful decided to return home
and made all arrangements to do
so. Kangas had the carcass of a
deer and in order to save a con-
siderable walk around the shore of
the lake, had constructed a raft of
cedar logs tied together and plac-
ing his deer thereon started across

capital can do it. A working shaft
has been sunk to depth of forty
feet and will be sunk to depth of
$50 feet before drifting will begin.
The sinking of the shaft was dis
continued few days ago on &C
count of the water encountered
and the expense and tediousness of
baling it out. Machinery in the
shape of boilers, pump and hosting
engine are now being placed and
a few days will see a resumption of
work on the shaft. A shaft house,
engine house and other necessary
buildings have been built. The
drills which have explored this
property encountered 81 feet of an
excellent quality of ore. 1t is ex-
pected that the drifts will show up
a large body. The Roy is recog-
nized by mining men as a first
class proposition. Albert Kitto,
a veteran miner of the Vermilion,
has charge of the work under Mr..
McGreavy.
The White Iron Lake Mining
company are placing a drill on the
LaChance claim adjoining the Roy
on the north and the same will be
next week, Camps have
been put in readiness for the crew.
The North American is plugging
away with a churn drill in locating
the ledge upon which to sink
shaft. Machinery is on the ground
and it is expected work on the
shaft will be in full swing very
shortly. 1t is said this property
has encountered ore in all its drill
holes, the find varing in extent.
The Pine Island company are
sinking shaft on their property
and it is expected that before
spring this concern will have some
hing to show besides a prospect
lole. The drills that explored Pine
.sland showed up ore in large
Quantities in several of the holes
lrilled. A large number of people
lave inspected this property recent
y and all have left we'll pleased

hat the financial affairs of the

lands.
Tommy Walsh and his Vermilion
at Mud Creek are meet
ng with most excellent results in |

his property an excellent one.
Investigation by interested par
les has disclosed the fact that all |

osition. This is an excellent in
ication and means much.

Memorial Fund

Some contributions were received
this week for the John A. Johnson
Memorial Fund, but the Ely fund
is still small enough and should be
larger. The committee has decided
that Thanksgiving day will be the
final day for closing the contribut.

total by that time will reach the
required SIS, 5000.
The Ely contributions so far are
as follows.

Mexico has no intention of having
war with Guatemala or any other
country. Our policy Is one of peace
and our relations with every other
country are most cordial. Mexico has
not made any representations to the
State Department to uphold the Zela-

said by me to the State Department
concerning the life of General Zelaya

is too small an affair to change our

republics"
