Hibbing Gone Dry.

Hibbing our big nelghbor on the
Mesaba range is facing a famine in
the be joyful product that made
Milwaukee famous. According to
the recent orders of the government
no Intoxicating liquors can be
shipped into Hibbing as being in the
Indian territory and the railroads
have refused to handle beer or
booze according to orders from the
interior department. One of the
brewing concerns received several
car loads and it is estimated that
Monday will see the town peerless.
The cars received in the range
towns were those shipped from
Milwaukee and the Twin Cities
before the order was given.
1t is said that liquor agents
travelling western Mesaba range
points have received orders to sell
no goods in the prohibited territory
and to collect all back accounts.

MINING MATTERS

A writer i'll the Duluth Herald
few days ago said: The advent of
winter causes an increase in activ-
| ity on the Vermilion range rather
than a decrease. Where other
are seeing drills pulled off and a
diminition in activity, the opposite
condition obtains on the Vermilion.
Drilling and shaft-sinking are
steadily increasing and large guam
titles of supplies are being taken to
the camps before navigation ceases
on the lakes and the wagon roads
! become difficult for travel during
the change to Shedding.
Travel to the Vermilion range
from outside points is heavy. The
policy of seeing with their own
eyes seems popular with investors
and it is a policy that helps the
range. A careful inspection of
mines and properties under explor-
alton never fails to convince the
men who have judgement of their
own.
There is great satisfaction over
the steady increase in the number
of wealthy men who have taken hold
or plan to do so or have operations
on the range strongly under con-
sideration. The fact that M. H.
Alworth of Duluth, has taken up
exploration work on this range,
came as great surprise to this
community. 1t is known that the
Yawkey estate has tried to secure a
certain property on the range be-
tween Tower and Ely, and offered
to expend at least 100000 in ex-
ploration work but, so far. the
owner fthe property has asked un-
usual terms. The decision of E. ].
Longyear as to exploring lands in
Sec. 8, 62-13 is being awaited with
deep interest, for all iron men know
and appreciate the throughness with
which he performs exploration
work.
A man very prominent III the
revival on the Vermilion and who
has several properties and develop
ments, particularly in 62-12, says
that offers of capital are plentiful

saba Electric Railroad company.


Washburn, Bailey & Mitchell, a
legal firm of Duluth, and a number
of their employees, appear as the in
corporators. They represent un,
known parties. but it is supposed
w. M. Prindle & Co., of Duluth,
who own two franchises on the
range, are the ones immediately
behind the deal, and that they in
turn are acting for others.
The attorneys of the company
would shed no light on the new
move, but it has been asserted in
quarters that might be inspired, the
intention is to have the road in
operation in eighteen months.
The county board has already
granted the Company a franchise to
operate line in the town of Me-
saba, section 59-15, 59-16, Sis,
59-17, Biwabik, Mesaba Mountain
Fayal, Clinton, Stuntz and Great
Scott. 1t is said there will be
about Sc miles of main line and a
or Is miles of feeders. 1t is not
improbable that the line will be
extended to the Vermilion range to
take i'll Tower and Ely.

STATE COOPERATE
ION
Necessary to Prevent Forest
Fires.

J. P. Sims, of Minneapolis,
president of the Sheldon Mather
Co., a grees with other promin-
ent lunbermen that the state OF
Minnesota should take some steps
to prevent forest fires, or of reduc-
ing the number and their extent to
minimum. He says:
Il heartily agree with John
Millen and others, who have dis
cussed the matter OF pre-
vention of forest fires, and think
that something effective should be
done by the state of Minnesota, l
think that the state and the lumber
men should cooperate, for the state
has more at stake than any indiv-
dual or corporation. l think that
the law governing the burning of
the tops and limbs should be
amended or repealed, for under its
provisions we have to burn in the
winter or early spring. Exper-
fence has taught that when the
burning is done in winter that
enough debris is left to make
another big fires, which may occur
at any dry period.
The state should employ forest
rangers and the burning of tops
and limbs should be done at such
times as are favorable. Some
official should be empowered to
determine when this burning
should take place, no matter what
time of year it may be. Further
more l think that the penalties
for setting fires and allowing
them to get away under normal
conditions are wholly inadequate.
There is no doubt that many fires
are allowed to speed from small
beginnings through sheer wantom-
ness, and if the state will properly
punish few such people it would
help some

Capt. Jas. Bale who has been
conducting the explorations for the
Section 80 Development company
on the old Dave Adams claim on
Section 80 was in the city Sunday.
Mr.. Bale has shown up fine body
OF ore on the property. While the
land adjoins the Section 80 mine
the work was done as far from
them as possible. The showing up
of ore on the opposite side of the
property means much as it is
known that the Section 80 dip is
towards the Adams claim. The
Section 80 Development company
is now drilling but will later re-
sumo work in the shaft. Machin-
cry is to be installed.
Work was this week begun OH
the shaft at the Lucky Boy pro-
perry. Dwight E. Woodbridge
