associated with James Sheridan
Jimmy James was induced to take
an option on the old Chandler mine
at Ely. James gave Joseph Sell
wood one-third for developing the
mine and kept one third for him
self. Messrs Camp and Sheridan
received third, or one sixth each.
They sold out for $4,000 each
Mr.. James got $4,000 for his
one-third and Capt. Sellwood is
credited with making over a
million from his interest in and
connection with the Chandler.
casa Camp no longer owns the
property on which Mr.. Kennedy
has made such a promising dis
covery. He left this country some
years ago. For awhile he was at
Bozeman, Mont, but, at present is
said to be in Seattle. Like most
of the Pioneer prospectors and
claim owners, he is reputed to be a
poor man today.
The Kennedy company hopes
to ship ore from the Lucky Boy
mine in 1911. Some time ago a
crew of fifteen men was engaged
in getting ready for shaft sinking.
The soft weather and unfrozen
condition of the swamps made it
slow work getting our mining tim
Der on the start but a stiff pace was
struck later. Machinery went
forward some time ago and every
thing is going smoothly. The
Lucky Boy mine will be a busy
spot this winter. The property,
by the way, is located on the north
half of the northeast quarter, the
southeast quarter of northeast
quarter, and the northeast quarter
of section S, 62-12, $50 acres, more
or less. The shaft is on the north
east forty of the section about a
mile in an air line southwest of
Ely.
The 100 acres belonging to
Hill, of Biwabik, embraces the four
central forties in section S, 62-12.
M. H. Alworth started the ex-
ploration of this property some
weeks ago with a diamond drill
but no information has been re-
ceived as to progress of the work
and accompanying results.

erected, ty-fvefeet high. When
that is completed, the shaft will be

the ore bodies on either side of the

THE VERMILION
Continues to Attract Much
Attention

The Vermillon Range correspon-
dent of the Duluth Evening Herald
has the following to say of some
Ely propositions in Mondays
paper
A discovery of iron ore has
been made on the Asa Camp pro-
perty near Ely that is as remarkable
as unexpected. The credit belongs
to E. c. Kennedy, the live factor
in the Mesaba- Vermilion Iron COM
pany.
The Asa Camp property
embraces the south half of the
southwest quarter of section 80,
63-12, not far from Ely, as glance
at the map will show. Surveyors,
who were doing some work for Mr..
Kennedy on the property, set up
their instrument on what seemed
to be rotten green stone In some
way small piece was dislodged,
ONE one picked it up and was
surprised to note that the underside
was clean iron ORE
After some investigation, Mr..
Kennedy was sent for. Under his
orders, trenches and test pits were
dug and, at depth not exceeding
twenty feet, the promising surface
material cleaned up into splendid
grade of iron ore. The body is
strong and continuous for not less
than 100 feet. It's width is not
known for it dips into a swamp.
The exposure that led to investi-
cation and discovery is right on the
edge of swampy ground.
Mr.. Kennedy had the property
examined by an engineer from the
Michigan ranges and hepronounced
the formation to be identical with
that of the Iron River area in
Michigan. The ore is splendid
looking stuff and will run high in
iron. Steps will be taken at once
to fully and properly explore the
find.
Asa Camp was an old explorer
on the Vermilion range. When

CAMPAIGN EXPENSES
CANDIDATES FILE EXPENSE
ACCOUNTS
LARGEST SPENDERS NOT ELECTED
The Manner in Which Local Candi-
dates Used Money in
Late Election

Candidates for county offices at the
recent primary and general election
have nearly all filed statements of ex-
penses. While the filed statements do
not cover the value of time spent in
the canvass, the totals sufficiently show
that it costs considerable to run for
office in this land of the free and home
of the ambitious. The total amount
spent by the candidates is something
like 25 per cent of one years salary for
all of the offices sought. In the case of
the office of district attorney, the three
candidates together spent practically
the equivalent of one years salary.
The greatest amounts were spent by
the candidates for sheriff which is
quite natural as that is the most re-
munerative Office by far of all the coun-
ty offices. Why this is so is a puzzle
to the uninitiated, as the office demands
neither special qualification nor strenu-
Gus service.
The table shown herewith gives the
total amounts spent by each candidate,
and 50 far as possible classification of
those expenditures. No uniform sys-
tenn of classification of expenses was
followed. Some candidates set forth
their expenditures in great detail, others
punched the items in various ways.
The item of miscellaneous expenses.
like charity, covers a multitude of sins.
Under the head of advertising and
printing we have grouped expenses for
newspaper announcements, cards, cir
culars and postage. 1t is likely that in
some cases candidates included some of
these items in the miscellaneous ex-
penses, so that the amount under this
head is probably too small.
Assuming the statements to be COM
plete, it is evident that so far as ex-
penditures are concerned the campaign
was run in perfectly legitimate man
ner. Nearly half of the entire amount
was spent advertising, printing and
distribution of literature, to which cer-
tainly no exception could be taken.
Anything which helps give publicity to
the qualifications and claims of cam
didate is highly commendable.
1t would be very desirable if candi-
dates were required to classify their
expenditures. Under the present law
items under SIS. 90 need not be itemized,
and there is tendency among some to
bunch these together as miscellaneous.
To avoid any misunderstanding, we
might remark here that in the table
we have grouped under the term mis-
cellaneous many items which are sep
arately set out by the candidates. We
have grouped as miscellaneous all
items which did not fall under one of
the other two heads.
Ladysmith news-budget. [volume] (Ladysmith, Rusk County, Wis.) 1907-1927, 1910-12-23

Some curious and some obscure items
appear in the statements. Cigars ap-
pear quite frequently, treats occasion
ally, soft drinks in few cases, quite
an item for refreshments in one state
ment, and one candidate has the hardi-
hood to admit that he spent a few dol
lars In saloons, but not single one ad-
mits that he bought any intoxicating
liquor for thirsty voters. One candi-
date states plainly that he spent not
cent for booze. Two unusual items
are the expenditure by one candidate
of ST. 90 and by another of $500 for
bouillon. Presumably the term bOuillOn
as used here is more comprehensive
than when used on a bill of fare. The
ordinary bouillon of commerce is SIM
ply soup, but as the term is used l)cal-
ly it includes variety of side dishes,
condiments, flavors, and last, but not
least, liquid refreshments. AS to the
virtue of the bouillon as a campaign
device, no definite conclusion can be
drawn from the result of this election.
The candidate who spent $17.00 for
that item won out, while the one who
spent only $1,000 lost. Possibly he
lost because of too great economy.
This like many other political problems
must be left to the future to solve.
AS bearing on the question as to
whether the candidate who spends the
most money stands the best show. we
might observe that, in the cases of
Offices which were contested, in that of
sheriff only did the winner spend the
most money. In the contests for clerk
of court and surveyor the candidates
cnopdino tho least amOuuf won oi1t
while the winning candidates for dis
trict attorney and treasurer were nei-
ther the greatest nor smallest spend
ers. Those who so loudly proclaimed
that the primary law would result in
putting offices up to the highest bidders
evidently have another guess coming,

Spent s1I4.ooo to Beat LaFo.lesse

The Stalwart state committee, the
one appointed at the Milwaukee Crouch
fest and entrusted with the job of beat
ing La Toilette, has filed a statement
of money expended by it. 1t spent in
this noble and philanthropic work a
total of S114, 21959. This enormous
sum greatly exceeds any of the pub
lished estimates of the funds raised to
redeem Wisconsin from the Progress
ives. During the campaign there were
rumors that $4,000 had been contri-
buted to the good cause, but Stand
patters Indignantly, persistently and
vehemently denounced the rumors as
election canards, the work of muck
rakers and anarchists. The denials
were so persistent, and the work was
carried on so quietly that people in
general had no idea that money was
being poured out so lavishly.
This great sum, it should be remem-
bered, was expended in addition to the
personal expenditures of the various
candidates. It was a financial handi-
cap against which the progressive can
didates for state and legislative offices
had to fight. AS an object lesson this
"money campaign" is valuable, dem
onstrating as it has that the majority
of Wisconsin voters cannot be Influenced
by money.
The success of the Stephenson "bar-
rel" encouraged the big interests to
believe that anything could be accom-
plished by means of money. They
probably know better now. The les
son was a costly one, but may be
worth the price.
