Open Road.

The county commissioners have
decided to open the Verlnilion road
from Biwabik to Duluth by the
letting of contract for the bridge
over the Whiteface river and other
improvements. This will bring
practically all the overland travel
from and to Duluth by the Vermil-
ion way instead of the Miller Trunk
Road; out of Duluth by way of the
Rice Lake road and from Duluth to
Biwabik the distance will be but
81 miles as compared with over 10
miles by way of the Miller road.
There are about 13 miles of the
road that must be put in shape says
the county engineer.
The Ely Business Mems Asso-
citation at the last meeting mp
pointed a committee to act in con-
nection with the eastern Mesaba
Clubs to further the cause of this
road and looking towards furnish
ing through route to the Vermil-
iyn range.

Fine Time !.

The ball given by the Ely Enter
tanners at the Turf Hall last even
ing was a successful event and
participated in by an exceptionally
large number. La Brosse of Du-
luth furnished the music and to
the excellent strains enjoyment
reigned supreme until early in the
morning.
The hall had been most tastefully
decorated, the shamrock and green
predominating in the color effects.
Cosy corners had been put in and
the ladies dressing room had been
very neatly arranged. At midnight
Mrs. Hanson served an elaborate
supper at the 1. o. o. F. hall to
which all did ample justice.
The Entertainers certainly did
themselves proud with this last
ball which eclipsed any of their
former excellent efforts.

Good Meeting

The Ely Game and Fish Protec-
tive Association met last evening
and goodly number were present.
Several committees were appointed
one consisting of l.. B. Brockway,
AL. Kolstad and Jos. Rothman was
named to confer with the State and
Game Fish Commission with view
to securing spawn for the various
creeks and rivers and also to take
steps to have regulations for the
protection of game and fish made
more stringent.
A committee composed of Scott
Leavett, Louis Larson and Geo. l..
Brozich was appointed to act in
connection with the Business Men S
Association regarding the Burnt
side portage proposition. The
sentiment was also in favor of
taking steps towards advertising our
excellent outing facilities.

Warming Lesson.

The history of the Black Mount
ain mining stock is one that ought
to be told and retold as warning
to would-be investors, says the
Crystal Falls Diamond Drill. The
Black Mountain mine is located in
Mexico. 1t is a 1ow-grade ore
property and was taken over by the
Cole interests during the early days
of the mining boom which culmin-
ated in the panic of 1907. The
stock of this concern once reached
$40 per share. 1t is selling today
at 20 cents per share. Many thous-
ands were invested in this stock at
a price about $40 per share and
among the investors were a number
of local men who put much money
in at that price. During the past
month the directors have asked the
stockholders for a loan of SO cents
per share, hoping that this loan
will tide over until the property
can be made in some way to pay
something. If this arrangement
cannot be made, it is probable that
the entire value of the stock will be
wiped out. 1t is said that when
the investig ting committee APP
pointed by the stockholders looked
into the company's affairs some
time ago it was found that the big
promoters held but an Insignificant
number of shares in the corpora
ton.

with the opening of the season.
1t is not expected that much, if
any, ore will be shipped this month
but it is practically certain that be-
fore April is very far along, con-
siderable ore will be on the move.
In anticipation of a large bust
ness this season, 1000 new steel
ore cars of the latest types were
ordered last fall by the D. & I. R.
and ere many seasons the old style
wooden ore car will be a thing of
the past. A number of new en-
gines of the latest type were also
ordered last fall for ore business
and these are expected to arrive
shortly.

NEW HOTEL
The Lake View Hotel Opens
to the Public

Yesterday Ely's new hotel, the
Lake View was opened to the
public, by Chas. Montroy. The
hospital building on the corner of
Third avenue and Camp street has
been rernodeled for hotel purposes
and now presents most inviting
appearance. Mr.. Montroy has
spared no expense in fitting out the
place and no doubt his enterprise
will be rewarded by liberal patron
age.
The interior has been most
tastefully arranged and fitted out
most modernly for the accomoda-
ton of guests. New and up-to- date
furniture throughout the guest
rooms, dining room and parlors
has been placed and the cuisine

Montroy came here from Spooner
where he conducted a first class
hotel and his intentions are to make
the Lake View one of the best
hotels on the ranges.
With the constantly increasing
summer travel to Our magnificent
lakes and, surroundings and which
travel promises to be further aug
mented this summer through the
efforts of the Business Mems
Association and the Ely Game and
Fish Protective Association, Ely
needed more hotel room in addition
to those here and the Lake View
Hotel will assist materially in
caring for the crowds.

Lieutenant Shackleton said that the limit
of the journey south was reached January
9, 1909, at 1928, and showed a picture with
the union jack planted in the snow, which
was given him by Queen Alexandra. He
described the journey back on scant rauons

other what they wanted to eat. In reality,
he said, they ate frozen horse meat and
nibbled on a biscuit to make it last longer
At the close of the lecture and moving

successful. He announced that he will be
joined Sunday by one of the men who made

SHACKLETON TELLS OF TRIP
English Officer Lectures on Journey

LIFE OF CREW OF SHIP NIMRo1
Illustrated Talk by Famous Explorer
to OmahanH-SideIigh on
Polar Travel Are
Given.

Lieutenant Ernest Shackleton, the eA-
plorer of the Antarctic and researcher oil
the South pole, lectured last night at the
Auditorium on his experiences and life III
the far south.
The lecturer told of the difficulties en-
countered in getting enough money to-
gether TO make the polar trip, and said that
after the gift of 100000 from the English
Parliament, he made $4,000 since last No
vember by the sale of his book and by lee
turing. He said that he still had some OF
the original debt to pay off and that from
the looks of the crowd present he would be
still more in debt on account of coming to
Omaha. His last trip to the South pole
cost him $4,000.
Lieutenant Shackleton has the happy gift
Of being able to relate scientific facts in
witty and pleasing manner. The lecture
was illustrated with stereopticon views and
moving pictures showing the various points
of interest along the journey and typical
views of the Antarctic expedition. The one
picture which seemed to please more than
the others was the moving representation
OK the penguins, the Antarctic bird, which
has no fear of man. These clumsy crea-
lures could be seen webbing over the snow
and ice and their queer antics were de-
cidedly interesting to people who live
where corn is raised.

EARLY Explorers.

The first picture thrown upon the screen
was a map showing the two trips of Lieu
tenant Shackleton and the "farthest
south" of previous explorers. He showed
one red mark which represented the spot
where Captain James Cook went in IVA.
and, with his characteristic British humor,
remarked with all apparent seriousness,
"No relation" Several pictures were
shown representing the ship Nimrod and
its crew, and one slide pictured waves
forty-two feet high, which were encoun-
tered by the ship soon after 1t left for the
south polar regions.
Speaking of the hardships encountered,
he said:
"Sir Philip Brockhurst had both feet
frozen and one big toe amputated in conse-
quence but he did not lose 1t. for he still
