people at the present time.
The petition for rural route to
the Birch Lake and White Iron
country is up in the air so we are
informed by Congressman Miller.
1t seems the government has not
established rural route for six
months or more owing to lack of
funds. The department has also
notified Mr.. Miller that the petition
did not contain names enough for
tri-week1y service besides the lay
of the road would compel retracing
the entire distance which is some
what contrary to the regulations.
The matter will again be taken
up at future date and it is hoped
with better results. The families
residing on the route deserve the
delivery of mail and should have it.

NIPIGON ORE
Vast Deposits Said to Exist
There

Vast deposits of iron ore are
found in the Onaman range, 40
miles north of Lake Superior, ac-
cording to Oliver Bowles of the
State university, who thinks, how
ever, that they are not likely to be
worked until the Mesaba and Guy
una ranges are nearly exhausted.
Mr.. Bowles addressed the Geology
club of the university in Pillsbury
Hall Minneapolis and gave an
account of his explorations in the
Nipigon iron country, where he
spent four months last summer.
There are undoubtedly large
deposits of iron in that country"
said Mr.. Bowles, as the outcrop-
pings show for many miles. Most
of the ore is low grade, but we
found ores showing more than so
per cent iron. This will be h gh
grade ore in a few years.
The prevailing rock is jaspylite
or banded jasper hematite, the
latter very similar to that in north
ern Minnesota. The field may be

DANDY BUNCH
Were the AppOlO Company
of Bell Ringers

About as good an entertainment
as has been given here for many a
day was the one on Monday even
ing by the Appolo Concert company
and Bell Ringers. From beginning
to end the program was enjoyed by
all audience that filled the Spacious
auditorium at the High School.
AS musicians, all the members of
the company rank as artists and a
return engagement woulds be ap-
preciated. The next and last
number in the course will be the
Wickershan lecture which was
postponed from a date earlier in
the winter.

Cut Down Living Cost

In view of the meat boycott
against the high prices and the
resolution of thousands of people
to eliminate meat from their daily
bill of fare until the prices come
dow to normal basis, the follow
ing will be found very useful:
CHOP SUEY-This a delightful
Chinese dish which, i'll China, takes
the place of boarding house hash in
this country. 1t is usually made
with meat, but this can easily be
eliminated by not putting any in.
The making of this dish is very
simple. Just get some nice, fresh,
sweet suey and chop it. Serve in
soup dishes and eat with chop
sticks.
DEvILLED EGGs-First of all get
the price. Then buy one dozen
fresh country eggs right from the
cold-storage warehouse, where
they have probably had a nice long
rest of two years. Owing to this
fact and the peaceful, unannoyed
existence they have led up to the
time of purchase, they will be easily
deviled. Just set them on the
table and devil them as you would
anyone else you did not like. Tell
them old jokes, poke them in the
ribs when they seem sleepy and
play ragtime on the piano for them.
Eat while they are still suffering
from the devilling.

few days until you can stick bay

into the shape of pheasant, stick
feathers in the tail and wings.
Bake in a moderately cool oven
and serve with saltwater sauce.
This is a great dish in the New
England boarding houses during
the winter season.

and soak for a few days in water
until tender. Then shape into
outlets, pouring ham drippings
over them until they smell like
pork. Fry until a rich brown and
eat hot, with maple syrup or brandy
sauce.
Mock CHICKEN SoUP-This is
such a common dish, particularly
in boarding houses, that it is not
necessary to give very full direc-
tions for making it. The hooking
lies in the fact that the chicken is
allowed to wade swiftly through
the warm water favored with salt.
The warmer the water the
quicker the chicken will make the

a continuation of the Lake Superior
field.
It is a valuable ore, as there is
no phosphorus or sulphur. The
outcroppings contain much foreign
material, such as jasper, slate and
green chist. 1t may be difficult to
smelt. Many orebeds are covered
with drift, but it is impossible to
say how deep without drilling.
No mines have been opened.
The range is about 40 miles from
the nearest railway. Apparently,
it will be a few wears before these
ores will become commercially
valuable.

Secure the Site.

The county commissioners at
their meeting Tuesday authorized
the payment of $4,000 for the site
for the new court house at Virginia
in accordance with the recommend
atoms made by the appraisers ap-
pointed by the District court some
time ago.

Hiyancn Wins

The text OF the decision OF Judge
Dibell of the District Court in the

Judge Dibell holds that Hivanen
has the right to the land. This is

For the first time in nearly rs
years the Chandler was not on the
producing list. The Oliver people
threw up their lease on the prop
erty after exhausting the known
ore body. Since that time others
have taken up the Chandler and
the prospects for again getting on
the shipping list are good. The
work of getting into No. S shaft is
rapidly going toward and will be
further accelerated when the mach
inery is put in.
The Soudan mines at Tower
which have sent out almost 500, 900
tons in some years produced 1852
tons. Many people thought the
Soudan mines had outlived their
usefulness some time ago but about
two years ago new strike was
made at depth, and the future of
the mines is assured for long
term of years. The Vermilion
range has not witnessed the open
ing of new mine since 1889 when
the Sibley and the Savoy began
shipping. Developments on the
range at present are extensive, and
many stockholders in Vermilion
range iron companies hope to open
up a few more producers.
This season, the Section 80 will
also be put on the shipping list, the
Duluth & Iron Range having
announced that the road would be
built to the mine, work to begin at
once. 1t is expected that this new
producer will be able to ship 100,-
900 tons this coming season. Rail-
road officials were in the city Tues
day and inspected the proposed
route. It is expected that the road
will be built in time for early
shipments.
