With this issue of he.Enterprise
commences the journey on the
eighteenth milestone of the journal.
under the same editorial manage
tnent from the date of it's birth. on
February 10, 1893.
During the intervening years as
we permit a retrospective glance
we cannot but note the many
changes which have come not oul,
to Virginia but to the Mesaba range,
there being but Virginia, Biwabik,
Mt. Iron and Mckinley az iucorpor-
ated range villages at that date,
while the prosperous cities of H'b-
bing, Eveleth, Chisholm and sew
eral lesser but not less promising
communities had not been though,
of by those who later plated and
made fortunes from the townsites
demanded by the ever increasing
extent of the ore discoveries.
But in glance over the wondrous
changes which have come and the
prosperity which has greeted the
various communities as each in
turn have become established as q
member of the industrial family OF
| the ranges, we cannot but feel that
Virginia continues to lead, not only
in preseLt c0nt.i!ions but in future
prospects,, and feel that we have
become 80 firmly fixture in this
city that we shall in all Likelihood
| be here to sh.re in common with
our many friends in the city the
prospective advantages of the bes,
community in northern Minnesota
for many years to come.
