A diamond drill is expected to
be put in on the Bisbee property in
section 7, 62-13 soon. This pro-
perty is controlled by the Duluth
Vermilion Iron company and
several test pits have been sunk on
the same.
The land that E. ]. Lougyear is

The air compressor formerly in
use at the Section 80 mine has been
moved to the McComber mine at
Robinson lake and will there be
used by the Steward Exploration
company. Capt. Ralph G. St.
Clair is manager of this property
and the results he has shown have
by far exceeded expectations.
Several thousand tons of best
quality ore are now on the dump
atsthis mine and the company is
doing an immense amount of ex-
pioratory work. 1t is said that
body of clean ore has been shown
by the diamond drills working on
the formation and drifting is now
being done in clean ore.
The Section 80 Mining company
is taking the necessary steps to in
crease the capital of the company
to 81 10000 which is a very
modest capitalization considering
the already known value of the
property. The company shipped
$4,000 tons this year and is now
putting ore in stockpile. The
company will be prepared to ship
zoe, 900 tons or more next season.

Reliable reports state that E. ].
Longyear will explore lands in
section 8, 62-14. Mr.. Longyear
is recognized as man of results
and his advent on the Vermilion
range is considered of inestimable
value. A recent article on Mr..
Longyear in one of the dailies had
this to say:-"E. J. Longyear is
the greatest iron explorer and mine
finder in the entire Lake Superior
region. He has drilled extensively
and successfully on the Michigan

EASY TO THREAD NEEDLES
Useful Device That Should Find a
Place in Every Woman's
Work Basket.

Here is a useful device invented by
a clever woman. 1t should have a place
on every woman's sewing table. Get a
block of wood two or three inches
square, a double pointed tack (hke the
kind used in matting) and a small fold
ing reading or magnifying glass.
Open the glass and lay the OF
top Of the block of wood, let the glass
project it's full size over the size OF the
block, then fasten in place with the
tack. If a block of wood is not OBJ
tainable use an empty spool of basting
thread size.
When you want to thread a small
sized needle hold the needle and the
thread under the glass and you Will
have no trouble in getting 1t through
the eye. When you use the machine
tip the block over neal the needle and
save time and trouble there also.
These blocks are invaluable TO-
elderly women and those too busy tt

ing needles continually. A good pla1
is to thread before starting to sew al

The Wedding Rinq.

The little circlet Of gold, SO dear
to a woman as the token of the affec-
ton of the man she loves has It's
origin in very ancient times. Its very
shape, without beginning or end, is
symbolic of constancy and indicative
of the true and lasting love which is
the foundation Of a happy union.
Thus the gift of a ring has come to
mean more than an ordinary gift of
friendship with all nations, and so i'm
:portant an event as the giving of an
engagement ring has in some districts
given rise to superstitious observ-
ances.
In former times the ring vas given
as the betrothal and was then worn
on the fourth finger of the right hand.
till the bridegroom transferred it to
the fourth finger on the left, at the
instruction of the priest, on the we'd
ding day.

Evening Wraps.

Many of the new evening wraps,
particularly the broadcloth ones, are
almost in Louis XIV. style, with a
rather tight belt around the waist and
long slashed sleeves with lace ruff
fes. Empire wraps are also seen,
mostly in chiffon and linon and match
ing the frock, or else in black. Mauve

Owing to the increased emigration

is to purchase the pretty pearl but

LAYING a Hem.

A housewife who makes her own
table linen and towels has hit on a
trick to lessen the labor. She adjusts
a small hemmer and a fine needle on
her sewing machine, removes the
thread from the upright and runs the
napkin or whatever it is, previously
cut by the drawn threads through
the hemmer. This simple method OF
turning the hem and pricking the
stitch holes makes the handwork very
easy. Running the cloth through the
machine, too, takes out the stiffness.

Checked Goods.

A very pretty idea for trimming a
blouse or frock of small checked
goods is to work the alternate squares

the color of the check or some other
color, as desired. Wall-of-troy border
patterns can be worked In this way,
simply using the squares as guiding
lines. With a featherstitched Pierrot

complete.

The legal world was shocked and
